Jay Z has friends in high-places. A fact highlighted in earnest last night when he became the first rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame.
The mogul was given the most endorsing of introductions by former US President Barack Obama.
Ever charismatic, he mused on his love for Jigga’s music, their similarities (including having wives more popular than them), and Jay’s immeasurable impact on the music and cultural landscape.

As reported, Jay was not present at the taping yesterday – although many of his team were in the building. This has fuelled growing speculation that wife Beyonce has indeed welcomed their twins – or is about to.
In any case, congratulations!

Cute. we need info on the legendary jimmy and terry and baby face’s inductions
Exactly, those are the inductions that deserve a post.
What song lyrics did he contribute to the betterment of society?? He might be entertaining to many, but his cultural impact is not a positive one.
Expected to read hateful because he did something others haven’t done but it’s a blessing & many more will come hopefully!!
