Jay-Z Blogs About Concert with Kelly Clarkson & Third Eye Blind: “Racial Unity…”
So while Jay-Z doesn’t have a Twitter page, thus lacking random meanderings, he does occasionally blog for RapRadar.com – which this weekend afforded him the opportunity to blog about a recent concert billing alongside Kelly Clarkson and Third Eye Blind at the University of Arizona.
Unusual? Maybe – but as Jay himself says, “There’s NO such thing as black and white music, only good and bad music.”
“On the show as well were Third Eye Blind and Kelly Clarkson … I thought that had to be the oddest pairing ever, but soon realized it’s what I’ve always professed. There’s NO such thing as Black music or White music only Good or Bad music.”
Jay said it was cool to like different things that are outside of your comfort zone. He said this also applies to the world around us and not just music.
“If you’re African American you can have a Jewish friend.” He brought up his own friendship with former Def Jam head/ current Warner Music CEO Lyor Cohen. “The Jew fro and the BLUEprint fro [Afro] are the SAME thing.”
Jay added that he would like to see diverse concerts such as this happen more often, outside of the one or two festivals per year and big radio station summer concerts like Zootopia, held by New York’s Z-100, among many others.
“I’m putting that into the universe,” Jay blogged, adding, “Next up, [a concert with] Taylor Swift and Uncle Murda!”
