Jay-Z Defends Kanye West Against Bush


Jay-Z has defended the controversial statements made by Kanye West about George W Bush's leadership after Hurricane Katrina.

"First, I find it strange, like everyone else should, that one of his lowest points was somebody talking about him. He's the president. People should insult him a lot. That's part of the job description," he told NPR's Fresh Air.

"It didn't feel like a natural disaster; it felt like it was happening directly to blacks, and immediately those images of people in suits getting beaten, sprayed with hoses, beaten on the bridge at Selma, all these emotions were going on inside of us.

"Kanye really spoke what everyone else felt," he continued.
