Yesterday, Barak Obama and his campaign for changed announced that on October 5, 2008 seven-time Grammy-Award winning recording artist Jay-z will be headlining a voters registration rally concert in Miami’s Bay Front Park’s Amphitheater. International artist, Wyclef Jean will also be performing at the event. Jay-z and Mr. Jean are performing at this show for free. The only way to obtain tickets to this event was by showing a voter registration card at one of many voting locations in Miami-Dade and Broward County. If one wanted a ticket and was not register to vote they were giving the opportunity to register to vote right then and there. Once they were officially registered to vote in the upcoming 2008 Presidential election, they were given two tickets per person. At the voters registration rally concert Jay-z and Wyclef will be encouraging the crowd to become as involved as possible in the campaign as well as the election.
Jay-z & Obama ROCK the VOTE for the 08′ Election

Wiered, I thought Jay-Z always boasted republican loyalty. Dosn’t matter though because Obama is the future. He’s four times the candidate McKain is(communist or not).
