This thread went to hell quickly.
Jay Z is a successful person and it's admirable how he got from where he was to where he is. But that's besides the point; the recruits aren't going to see Jay Z because of his motivational, inspirational message. They are going to see Jay Z because of the same reason EVERYBODY sees Jay Z, they want to be entertained.
Where is this uptightness coming from? Jay Z doesn't do anything differently than any other major rap artist. His songs are just better.
Where did this idea that Nebraskans shouldn't stand for Jay Z coming to Lincoln come from? It's great that Jay Z wants to come to Lincoln! It shows that Lincoln can have a downtown scene and can draw the big name artists. What recruit WOULDN'T want to hear that?
Some people man, some people.
