Jay-Z Releases Statement Saying There Is No “Black Music Or White Music”

Jay-Z is right when he says that there is no such thing as black or white music. After performing at the University of Arizona he released the statement below:

Last night I performed at the University of Arizona, I had a ball!! Through all the excitement and joking around (as well as the technical difficulties) I missed out on the opportunity to say something important..
On the show as well were Third Eye Blind and Kelly Clarkson.. I thought that to be the oddest pairing EVER but, soon realized, it’s what I’ve always professed..There is NO such thing as BLACK music or WHITE music only GOOD or BAD music..It’s stupid cool to like things that are not like you, and that goes for outside of music.. If you’re an African American you can have a jewish friend. Wait, does Lyor having some Israeli mixed with his jewish count? (Sure they are paranoid but, so are black people after they’ve smoked weed, haaaaa, and plus the JEW fro and the BLUEprint fro are the SAME thing.)
I think concerts like this should happen more often. ( Outside of the one or 2 festivals a year or “Zootopia”) I’m putting that into the universe..next up Taylor Swift and Uncle Murda!!
Sorry I don’t “Tweet” (do I?) so this will have to do..
Love.

    This nigga Jay Z is a sellout for real. He will sell out his own people for riches. As black people, we should protect our culture. Our culture and our history should be preserved not matter how much this camel, Jay Z is trying to sell out.  If we don’t, the originators will be forget. Look what happened to Harlem shake and their white kids don’t even know it stated in the hood in harlem and are doing the wrong dance. there is nothing wrong with having white or black music, latin music, Chinese music. it just shows the diversity of the world.

    y-Z Says, “There Is No Such Thing As Black Or White Music”! Wrong that’s what’s wrong with you. R&B is Black music Hip Hop is black liquor house music(the blues) is black music. Even though some other than blacks has profit from it , it all comes down to founding and creating tell the brothers from NY or the real hood that shit, right now they saying brother tripping. Jay Z what you said sounds good but keep it real Hip Hop ,Rap Roc nation is Black Music. Oh and by the way tell Naz that paltro chick is not black and does not get a nigger pass.
