Jay-Z is My New Favorite Rapper

I mean that in a tongue-in-cheek way, cuz Jay-Z was far from the list of rappers, emcees, etc. (...it's a long story for another post).

Jay-Z hooking with up with Kofi Annan & the United Nations to do a tour highlighting water crises around the world is crazy. He's taken hip-hop to yet another level. I mean, someone could ask why specifically water when there are so many causes that effect Black folk domestically. But Mr. Carter needs to get his feet on something (pardon the expression).

Hopefully Jay won't get caught up like Barack Obama or Michael Jordan and have the expection & weight of being the next "Black Superman." But even if that does happen, I feel confident that Shawn Carter can handle it.
