Jay-Z took a cue from Kanye West when he hit the blogsphere this week to discuss his latest concert with Kelly Clarkson, and Third Eye Blind. Of the line-up, Jay-Z said that the concert showed racial unity. The theme of the blog seems to be a theme of Hov's public messages. Earlier this month he argued that hip hop did more race relations then any politician, so clearly racial unity through music is a focus for Jiggaman. While I'm not knocking the claim at racial unity, I'm surprised that Jay-Z is calling this line-up unique. Never mind that 50 Cent and Fall Out Boy or Eminem and Papa Roach for the original Anger Management Tour. What about Jay-Z's own Sprite Liquid Mix tour with Hobastank and 311? His album with Lincoln Park? I mean it's not Jay-Z's first time performing a diverse line up. Photo
