I listen to Jay-Z, and I am disappointed that you think me and my fellow fans are incapable of political thought. Many of his lyrics are political in nature (e.g. "99 Problems"), and like many aging pop stars, he has a lot of older listeners.

Hip hop has a long history of tackling political issues, and has been the most political genre of music for the last thirty years. I assure you, the hip hop community is, and has always been, concerned about government and corporate overreach.
