While the Jiggaman doesn’t see politics in his foreseeable future, that doesn’t mean he’s not interested in lobbying for his good friends, President Barack Obama’s re-election in a few weeks. Here, Jay-Z shares his thoughts on why it’s important to exercise your right to vote and why Obama represents the power of our voice. Jay-Z says:
“For so long, there was this voice that was silenced out there as far as exercising your right to vote. I think it was a voice that was silent because people had lost hope. They didn’t believe that their voice mattered or counted.”
“Now people are exercising their right, and you are starting to see the power of our vote. He made it mean something for the first time for a lot of people.”
Election Day is nearing as it’s just 3 weeks away but you can still REGISTER to vote now to let your voice be heard.
