Jay-Z, Diddy Comment On Barack Obama's 'Beautiful' Inauguration
Jay says, 'We have to absolutely have [Obama's] back.'

Jay-Z is arguably the greatest rapper of all time, but it turns out Hov isn't so bad at another profession: reporting.

Jay called in to New York radio station Hot 97 on Tuesday (January 20) as "D.C. correspondent Jay-Z."

"Hold one moment," he jokingly told DJ Angie Martinez. "We have Puff Daddy here on this historic event."

Diddy then jumped on the line to talk about the amount of security on hand throughout President Barack Obama's swearing-in ceremony earlier in the day.

"Hundreds of Army cats," he said. The Bad Boy impresario then said he was going to cry before handing it back over to Jay. "It's a beautiful day," he finished.

Jay-Z has been on hand for a number of festivities during the inauguration proceedings. He told Martinez he's been in Washington, D.C., for four days now and plans to stay for two more days "to soak it all in." The rapper is scheduled to perform at the "Neighborhood Ball" Tuesday night. He's already appeared at Love nightclub this past Sunday and his own show at Warner Theater Sunday night.

Hov said the vibe of the events has had an "incredible energy," and he hopes the good will from Tuesday will extend for President Obama throughout his first term.

"We have to help him," Jay urged. "We have to absolutely have his back. We have to do all we can. We have to do whatever community service or whatever to help him. This is not an easy job. You don't clap your hands and this thing goes away. He took on a hard job. The worst job in the world — the best job and the worst job in the world, because he has so much to do. And people really have to understand that. There are gonna be some days where you don't agree with what he does and you don't think he kept his word, or different things like that. But we have to be there to support him for these next four years or, if they do it right, the next eight years. And we absolutely want eight years."

"Be the Change: Live From the Inaugural" will air live on MTV on Tuesday, January 20, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. MTV News will have wall-to-wall coverage of the event and of the scenes in Washington, D.C., New Orleans and Kenya in the days leading up to the event and in the days that follow.
