Jay-Z and Diddy may just have to watch history from a distance. According to Chicago Sun-Times columnist Bill Zwecker, Hov, Puff and Mary J. Blige have been strongly advised to miss Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama’s rally in Chicago’s Grant Park tonight (11/04). Word is the aforementioned celebs had been trying to get their hands on VIP invites to attend the event. Instead, the stars were told to think about attending a possible Obama inauguration in January.
”There really only needs to be one star in Grant Park, and that’s Barack,” an Obama insider told Zwecker.”There will be plenty of time for a new President Obama to be surrounded by famous fans, all hopeful about a new administration.”
Actors Tim Robbins, Susan Surandon and Ben Affleck were also among the celebrities advised to keep a distance. Longtime Obama supporter Oprah Winfrey is the only celebrity expected to make an appearance at the rally tonight.
Diddy and Hov have been quite vocal in their support of Obama through the Illinois Senator’s campaign. Jigga recently held a rally alongside Cleveland Cavalier Lebron James and joined Diddy and others in Florida rallies just two days ago. -Marvin Brandon

I think Oprah doesnt want them there. Just like her show…lol…jk.
But, this is a good move because having celebs there will just turn this into a circus. Jay and Diddy and any other celeb “cant” turn down an invite to speak when a mic is placed in front of them. So they need to stay away from an event like this that has so many microphones.

Do know the REAL REASON? Because Spider Loc has put a APB out on these fuccs heads nigga because they are spending too much time w/ Bloods Lil Wayne & em. I personally sent out the email warning about any thing coming close to the Chi those bitch niggaz in Chicago don’t want Drama w/ this LA Gangster thats prolly the softest big city ever them niggaz is str8 weak out there. I personally had Hoover under extreme pressure and all I did was smack him up a few times nigga. I even wore his wife beater 3 time per week in protest to his weakness! Detroit is a nother wack ass city and New York and AtL And Miami And Houston take the cake for bitchassness. I personally went to all those locations and smacked the shit outta the Underworld leaderz. J. Prince literally begs for his life. I’m a gangbangin ass janitor @ Crenshaw High! I got intiated into the Crips personally by Tookie! No one wants it w/ me I have 3 kids I’m 33 yrs old. I make me and my wifey 34k per year nigga we hood rich!

Well, getting back on topic, this is a good look. This should be a celebration for the normal folk. All these celebrities don’t feel the struggle like the normal people, they got money and are devoid of most of the problems we have to face. Fuck it’s gonna look like with Jay-Z on stage poppin bottles of Ace of Spades when half of the audience can’t afford a shot of that shit?
Oprah got enough money to do what she wants, so it’d be a waste of time to bitch about her.

Barack Obama is a middle-aged dude raised by whites from Hawaii. He is not trying to kick it with no damn rappers. Dudes think because their talent is rhyming words like nigga with trigga and making a lot of loot doing so, they are somehow significant in the grand scheme of things. No.

Jeez… when the fuck did all these weirdos bumrush the XXL site?
Straight up, Oprah is in another dimension. Puff and Jay couldn’t have made a shit’s worth of difference in Iowa, but Oprah pretty much deserves a permanent room in the Obama White House. She gave him the attention of white women.
Sorry to say it, but Puffy and Jay-Z’s endorsement and introduction of Obama in Iowa would have only led to a crushing defeat. I agree; there’s plenty of time for the Hip-Hop crowd. Right now is not the time to be partying and popping champagne bottles. Let this dude get his plan in action first, then we can party on January 20, 2009.
Get like me and learn how politics really work. Or get President-Elect Barack Obama impeached before he’s even sworn in. Let’s not be stupid…

i’ll say it one more time:
BARACK OBAMA IS ONLY 3 YEARS & 4 MONTHS OLDER THAN JAYZ…
so what exactly has Jay-z done thats so important or positive with is life that he is supposed to have status at the most historic event in the history black people and america as a whole???
oh right, he’s given us such gems as:
“I came in ya Bentley backseat
Skeeted in Jeep
Left condoms in tha baby seat
Here nigga”
“Aint no nigga like the one I got
no one can fuck you betta”
oh yes, and of course…he just made a new song so profoundly entitled: “jockin’ jay-z”…riiiiightt…
