(Gigwise) Jay-Z aka Shawn Carter has hit out
at white folk encroaching on the predominantly black hip hop scene.
The president of Def Jam appreciates those
white folk who contribute to the scene and culture but dislikes those who
just jump on the urban band wagon.
After winning the GQ Award for International
Man Of The Year he said to the magazine: "They think they can say those

Racism is so stupid. Jay-Z has done nothing to improve the relationship between colors. Racist comments like this leave scars. But you never really know who to trust as we all know the media like to spin stuff up into a story. It could have been taken completely out of context...that wouldn't be anything new for the news.

They sure do love white people's money though.

Jay-Z...sell out who TRIES to appeal to a white audience really has some audacity to say this. Clowns like Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Nelly...and the rest of the "for the club" "rappers" would have a fraction of the audience they do if they didn't have a white audience.
