What's Poppin', Future Leaders of the Free World!
I'm creating this mini-series to shine some light on the philanthropic efforts of rappers and the music industry at large. Jay-Z was one of Obama's super delegates for some time but has not been acknowledged for it. He led numerous 'free of charge' concerts at various college campuses across America to promote for Obama. Other rappers and music executives also campaigned for Obama. However, being as I am from Marcy Projects, we will focus on Yung Hov.
Below are videos, which I felt, demonstrate the force that was behind Obama. He had an advantage people didn't realize. In low income neighborhoods, there is always a very low 'age of first birth' - meaning lots of babies always being born; this has been happening since forever. So, Obama getting the youth vote in the hood -the hood being a socio-economically disadvantaged neighborhood - ensured his victory. The proof, Jay-Z's main customer base is white America. Boom!
Marcy Projects, Let's Go!!!!!!!
