Jay-Z honored by UNA-USA for Humanitarianism

Dr. Patrick Treacy was invited to New York to see Jay-Z, one of the most successful artists in the hip-hop industry, receive a global leadership award in recognition of his documentary Water for Life with MTV, and for his collaboration with the United Nations to attract support for safe, accessible drinking water in Africa. Jay-Z took on the fourth Millenium Development Goal by creating play pumps, merry-go-round structures that use childrens pedal power to pump water from wells into underground tanks, reducing child mortality. Zalmay Khalilzad, the US Ambassador to the United Nations, in presenting the award said, Here, in the diplomatic hood hes known as something else - a humanitarian.

funny how he's done more for ppl than damn near any rapper ever yet ppl wanna harp on a BS rumor of him worshipping the devil or him turning his back on Dame Dash.When's the last time Dame Dash or the Devil or DeHaven donated millions to Katrina,Haiti,Africa,Marcy Projects etc...gahead...i'll wait.As a black person,i must say its disgusting that we're the only race that hates to see each our own do well.

For whatever reason and to whatever extent I applaud JayZ and Dr. Treacy for what they have accomplished What counts is what is done not what is said it's like Lincloln people always come up with quotes but what's impotant is what he accomplished and same for Martin Malcolm etc.

You people are misinformed,Jay-Z was trying to pull off a nanotechnology racket. He's getting the death penalty for seditions&treason if he doesn't cop a plea for life in prison.Nanotechnology was originally proposed to Alicia Keys.

Diary of Jay-Z,Water For Life is in direct response to Diary of Alicia Keys,Tears For Water.Please research this&save Alicia Keys! See Shoga King on Facebook.

You "Illuminati" screaming faggots should shut your hating asses up. I believe in corrupt govt and so on, but saying an artist is part of the "evil elites" is asinine. He's another Human.
