Russell Simmons and Jay-Z are bridging the gap between hip-hop and politics thanks two their new fan which is the U.S. Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama. It’s said that Barack has praised Jay Z and Russell “great talents and great businessmen”, insisting he’s happy to have the support of the duo in the upcoming November election.

Barack admits that he still has reservations about the current state of music in the U.S., and hopes the industry will begin to take its cues from the business-minded music duo. He said that “I am troubled sometimes by the misogyny and materialism of a lot of rap lyrics, but I think the genius of the art form has shifted the culture and helped to desegregate music. It would be nice if I could have my daughters listen to their music without me worrying that they were getting bad images of themselves”.

Do you think that Russell and Jay Z are good icons in the music industry?
