This past weekend, Jay-Z hosted his hand-selected “Made In America” music festival with Budweiser in Philadelphia, PA. Now, in a recent interview with the New York Times, Hova explained what drove him to enlist Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All for the massive concert series.
Jay explained that he holds OFWGKTA in high regard, describing them as an anti-authoritarian extension of the youth culture. He continued on to praise them, saying they represent a harsh reaction to the evils of corporate America.
“[Odd Future has an] aversion to corporate America,” he explained. “People have a real aversion to what people in power did to the country. So they’re just lashing out, like: ‘This is the son that you made. Look at your son. Look at what you’ve done.’”
Jay also spoke on President Obama’s tenure in office, saying that he’s given inner city youths a new kind of positive role model, one that he lacked in his childhood. He continued on, reflecting on how his childhood will differ so greatly from that of his newborn daughter, Blue Ivy.
“I’ve said the election of Obama has made the hustler less relevant,” he said. “People took it in a way that I was almost dismissing what I am. And I was like: no, it’s a good thing! No one came to our neighborhoods, with stand-up jobs, and showed us there’s a different way. Maybe had I seen different role models, maybe I’d [have] turned on to that.
He continued, “I actually thought about that [with Blue Ivy’s birth], more before she was born…[my brother and I] would fight each other. My brother would beat me up. I was going to have to fight, I was going to have to go through some things, and they were preparing me. She doesn’t have to be tough. She has to love herself, she has to know who she is, she has to be respectful, and be a moral person.”

You young kids speak awful disrespectful. Jay-Z is an O.G. He’s grown through life and if you shut up and pay attention you might learn something.
Only young kids think this half ass commercial rapper is a legend. MTV major label wack BS.

SMH! Then aspire to develop and DO YOU.

holy shit hiphop DX – YOUR COMMENT SECTION IS SHIT. this article should stand as evidence that YOU NEED TO REVAMP THE COMMENT SECTION and allow people to create accounts. They say to ignore the trolls but THESE POSTERS ARE DESTROYING THE WEBSITE and make it impossible to hold any sort of discussion. I’m about to abandon this website, for real.
Caps in the hope that someone important reads this or has already fucking realized this
oh shit your gonna leave the site…fuck outta here fuck boi
PEACE
He is praising those weirdos? where? he is throwing jabs at the establishment using them but if you call that ‘praising’ then you motherfuckers at DX need to go back to the 3rd grade or something.
PEACE
Jay-z dickrides corporate America harder than anyone else, yet he has the nerve to praise odd future for being anti-establishment? As I’ve said before, Jay-Z is the biggest fraud in the game. He was never involved in any criminal activity as a teen, yet he talks about moving drugs and sticking dudes up and you morons slurp it all up. Same people talking about how real Jay is are the same fags who talk shit about Ross.
Jay definetly had a real rep as a hustler when he was young and lived in the ghetto, he just became a bitch ass fraud in the music industry, he used a lot of people to get to where he is. but he aint rick ross fake
Jay Z Was Never No Thug… Shut the fuck up, my BK people can attest to that… Camel Face Is A Fruad. Accept it.
Random kid on internet says he has nameless “people” that can attest to a baseless accusation. Yea, we can trust what you say.
People have a real aversion to what people in power did to the country. ” what do you mean by people?? are you implying white people held the black man down?? See how stupid jesse jackson and al sharpton look to white people..
It’s already an American fact that slavery happened in America followed by the housing project policies that created the ghetto. Stop being angry and just accept the “real truth’.And whites know about the rescue mission that Jesse did and the works of Sharpton. Trust me when I say that they would rather have them, than another revolutionary movement in the streets. What did you think they are here for? Clown

CERNOBBIO, Italy Experts and leaders gathered in Italy may disagree on the cure, but the malady seems clear: the world economy faces a “perfect storm” of risks that include prolonged crisis in a structurally flawed Europe, political paralysis pushing America off a “fiscal cliff,” a slowdown in the emerging economies drying up the last of global growth, and the spectacularly destabilizing prospect of war over Iran’s nuclear program.
