This is cool: Rap against anti-Semitism

Posted on 05/01/2006 by Meryl Yourish

Rapper Jay-Z is going to make an ad telling kids that anti-Semitism is not cool.

Cool.

Grammy-award winning hip-hop star Jay-Z, considered one of the world’s most important rappers, has decided to take part in the war on anti-Semitism. In the next few days he is expected to star in an TV commercial which will be broadcast on American television under the banner: “Anti-Semitism is not cool.”

The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem received a report on the initiative from Aryeh Mekel, Israel’s consul-general in New York.

In the ad, rapper Jay-Z asks viewers not to join groups speaking against Jews because ‘anti-Semitism is not cool.’

    And Will Smith visits Israel.
    And Russell Simmons is best friends with Marc Schneier.
    Rap for Jews. I guess.

    I can’t believe someone used the words “important” and “rapper” in the same sentence with a straight face!
