Gov. Paterson Offers Jay-Z Endorsement

One thing I have to give New York Governor David Paterson is that he gets hip-hop right more often than not. Today, according to New York Magazine‘s Vulture blog, Paterson — citing his September 11th benefit concert at Madison Square Garden — endorsed MTV’s decision to name Jay-Z the “Hottest MC In The Game,” and hey, in the context of his role of New York’s chief executive, that’s just good statesmanship.

Back in May of 2008, Paterson demonstrated a similar judiciousness by extending a full pardon to Slick Rick. At the time, I made the obvious joke.

    Never seen J smile that hard, even when he’s with his wife, lol. Looks…well, odd. Something is up with that association. He must be hoping the hip hop community will stand behind him during reelection since i guess J is.
