Jay-Z Defends Kanye West Over George Bush Ish + Eve Reunites With Swizz Beatz For "Hot Steppa #1"

In a new interview, Jay-Z defends the actions of his little brother Kanye West regarding statements Kanye made about former President George W. Bush.  See what Jay-Z had to say, plus check out a new collab from Eve and Swizz Beatz inside...

During a recent interview for the Associated Press, Jay-Z had a few words for George W. Bush, who said Kanye's comments about him being a racist during Hurricane Katrina was one of the lowest points in his presidency:

"I 100 percent agreed with the comments that he made, because again ... it felt like it was being done to black people.  Like all you saw on the news was black people with help signs and all this stuff, and then you have this picture of the commander in chief, who we all rely on, just flying by."

Jay-Z continued...

"Just the fact that he thinks that the worst thing that happened to him is Kanye saying something about him. Like, what? That alone shows you where his mind is. Are you kidding me?"

Word.  Nice to see Jay-Z standing up for Kanye.  I think more than a few people (incliding us) were upset when 'Ye backed off his own comments during his "Today" Show interview with Matt Lauer.

We are happy to report that Swizz Beatz and Eve have reunited in the studio for a hot new track.  Maybe this time Eve's album may see the light of day on a store shelf.
