Jay-Z Dedicates '99 Problems' To John McCain, Sarah Palin At DJ AM Benefit Show'

I'm gonna get in trouble for this!' Jay laughs; MC was also joined onstage by T.I.

By Chris Harris, with reporting by Dave Harrison

Less than a month after DJ AM walked away from a fiery jet crash in Columbia, South Carolina, that killed four people and seriously wounded him and Travis Barker, AM reclaimed his place behind the decks Wednesday night, joining rapper Jay-Z for a special concert celebrating the reopening of the Hollywood Palladium.

Hov and AM (born Adam Goldstein) proved to be a formidable duo, performing for nearly two hours, with the support of tuxedo-clad brass and rhythm sections. Aside from the visible scars and bald patches on his head (AM has undergone two skin-graft surgeries), AM's stage presence had not changed since the accident, as he rapped along with Jay-Z from behind the turntables. The Palladium show was the DJ's first live appearance since the crash.

Jay-Z clearly appreciated AM's presence, calling on the audience to "make some noise for DJ AM" three separate times throughout the concert. Jay also gave a shout-out to Barker and the people who died in the crash, saying, "We're gonna party it up for them tonight."

But not all the shout-outs were so celebratory. Without naming names, Jay dedicated "99 Problems" to John McCain and a certain "homegirl," whom he described as "the one who says 'You betcha.' "

"I'm gonna get in trouble for this," Jay laughed onstage, "but f--- it, this is freedom of speech."

Of course, what Jay-Z show would be complete without a special guest? Earlier in the evening, T.I. — whose Paper Trail is the top-selling album in the country, Jay reminded the crowd — joined Hov onstage for two out of the four verses of "Swagger Like Us."

AM will also be appearing with Jay-Z Thursday night (October 16) in Houston and October 25 in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Associated Press reports that AM will resume his residency at Caesars Palace's Pure nightclub in Las Vegas next week.

Sorry for that but he just supports Obama because he's black and this doesn't have any sense hat so ever. I still think Hillary would be the best for that, she knew what she is doing.

Miked24 · 10-16-2008, 09:41 PM

^^^^^^ i hear ya on that. not that Obama isnt qualified for president, but alot of young blacks are just voting for that reason, Im black voting for McCain, alot of kids I ask why are they voting for Obama they dont have any answers, most just say that dont like bush, but if anyone knows that McCain is as far from a republican as Obama is, he fits the party but more conservative and he would help alot. For people that understand whats going on and vote for Obama, thats great, but alot of these kids are just listening to their favorite rapper

robert henry · 10-16-2008, 09:56 PM

The ting is what US needs is a strong, not to young to know what he's doing and not to old to still know what's going on. I guess Obama is a good age but he is just unexperienced. McCain is also good but I think he will just not have the message like younger President would have.

As long as Pailin isn't going to be US President it won't be to bad.

Why are you voting for mccain? i mean thats your choice and i respect it but i was just curious like what are like your reasons, since you seem so disappointed that people are voting for Obama without a real understanding of who he is and what he offering to bring to the table for America.

To Me personally , McCain himself isn't seem that bad , but i wont vote for him not only because i believe that Obama can do a better job with the economy and also its just common sense, if i have to pick between Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin; its a No-brainer that i have to go with the democrats on that one. Palin is an absolutely joke , she makes Bush look like an intellectual , that's one of the main reason why i cant and wont vote for McCain. But McCain himself isn't bad , i think he messed up by picking Palin , he took a risk but that risk is probably going to cost him the elections.

I'm a Democrat but you gotta pick a future president based on policies rather than "looks smarter or dumber" My beliefs are strongly based on what the Democrats stand for but since I moved back to Australia and have an Australian citizenship it means I can't vote for him!

A lot of people are voting for Barrack cause he "can handle the economy better" But truthfully I think McCain will do a better job in the short run with Barrack excelling in the long run
