Jay-Z: 'Maybe in Eight Years, I'll Be the President'

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 3rd 2010 10:41AM

First he conquered the world of hip-hop, then he became a world-renowned entrepreneur, married Beyonce, and now ... Jay-Z is getting an itch for politics. According to BBC Newsbeat, Jay-Z wants to fix the country not through his music, but with his political vision.

"Give me a chance," Jay-Z said. "Maybe in eight years, I'll be the president."

A staunch supporter of President Barack Obama, Hova reflected on the administration's bumpy first two years and said he's still holding out for his man to come through in the end.

"In order to judge someone, you have to judge what they inherit," he said. "He inherited the worst economy, war, just a horrible time in American history. So if we think he can solve that, I mean, we don't think he's God, do we. He's a human being. He's going to need time to figure that out."

"In order to get to that sort of success and that dream, you have to go through some peaks and valleys," Jay added. "It's been two years."

In the meantime, Jay-Z is headed to Bath, U.K., to collaborate with Kanye West on a new record.

Like I said before, he couldn't do any worse than the jackhole that is in office.

By festie

he didnt "inherit" anything. he begged for the opportunity and even paid a couple hundred million dollars and told a bunch of lies to get the job. obama's a liar and a crook just like every other career politician but as least he's not a moron like this clown. and by the way that economy was better then this one.moron.

The scary thing is that he actually could win. People will vote for and follow people that are not qualified. Look at obamsa AND jz sez that he is a BIG follower of obanabsa. The country is going to crap.

President, of what the dumba** club??

By Antique Organ

HAHAHAHAHA

Dumb Koon the election for President is in 2 years and 6 years from now not 8.

By Amy

I would bet the last presidential election was the first time he voted.Can you imagine if he did run--and won? He would pimp out Airforce One-the presidential limo-and I can imagine what the white house would look like. Well Levi Johson is running for political office in Alaska-he'll probably win. Seems the only qualification there is to be a resident of the town. The economy-healthcare-illegal immigration-the war in Afghanistan-none of this matters-all you need is to live in the area-geez.
