    1. timeout….you all realize your watching hiphop conclude a presidential election right? Before the hiphopdx junkies come out with the Jay-Z hate parade, really give this some thought. Yea jay is the only one up there, but its OUR culture up there too. prior to 2008 there probably wasnt a single person (Jay included) on the planet that would think hip hop could have any sort of place in a presidential election, let alone the final stop on the campaign trail in the most important swing state in such a close race. Put the hate aside for tonight and actually take in whats going on here.
