Last night, Jay-Z joined Sean "Diddy" Combs, Mary J. Blige, Kevin Lyles, and Beyoncé for a rally in Columbus, to Get Out The Vote. A crowd of over 6,000 people came to listen as these Hip Hop and R&B luminaries dropped some serious knowledge about what this election is about.
After Mary J. Blige spoke from the heart about how important she thinks it is for everyone to let their voices be heard, Diddy spoke about what this historic election means to him:
When I was in third grade they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up, and I said 'a garbage man.' The truth was that I wanted to be the President, but I was embarassed to admit it because I knew no one would take me seriously. But after tomorrow, my sons won't need to feel embarrassed because they can truly be anything they want, after we elect Barack Obama!
When Jay-Z spoke, he talked about how it was important to him to get deeply involved:
It's not enough for me just to say 'Go vote.' It's too important.
On that note, last week Jay-Z performed a free concert (hosted by Lebron James) for Obama supporters at the Q Center in Cleveland. Here's a short video from that night. He certainly made clear his commitment to fighting for the change we need.
There is less than an hour left to make it to the polls. This is the last call for change. Find your polling place at voteforchange.com. If you've already voted, please volunteer to lend a hand.
