Hip hop and politics
Maybe Jay can perform that song where he says “Like Che Guevara with bling on – I’m complex.” I’m a fan of Jay’s lyricism, but that’s some “ignorant shit” (name of another Jay-Z song that will not be performed at the Inaguaration). -Cfro
As if you needed another reason to tune in on January 20, Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony is already shaping up to be one of the most star-studded events in Washington D.C.’s history.
While Obama and his crack team of political heavy hitters will take center stage at the event, half of Hollywood is clamoring for a chance to shine in his reflected glory. Beyonce Knowles wasted no time in clearing her diary for the ceremony in the hope of being invited to perform.
“I’m there. I can’t wait. I feel like all of us, we’re ready to do whatever we have to do. Whatever they want. If they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I’m there, and I’m ready,” the R‘n’B superstar told reporters on November 5, just one day after Obama’s historic win.
And she might make the evening a family affair amid rumors that her husband, hip-hop heavyweight Jay-Z, is also in talks to perform.
A source close to British singing sensation Leona Lewis also claims, “various inquiries have been made to Leona’s people about her availability on January 20,” according to British newspaper, The Sun.
Other high-profile names including Diddy and Mary J Blige have also been thrown into the mix of possible performers.
