You Think You Know But You Have No Idea


[File under Big Ups Jay-Z and/or Headline of the Day also]

Buried beneath a giant review of The Editors in concert in today's Calendar section of The Los Angeles Times was this:

"Jay-Z teams with U.N. to tackle water crisis"

"MTV crews will follow the rapper on his world tour, which begins Sept. 9. "The Diary of Jay-Z: Water For Life" will feature first person accounts of meetings with people around the world who lack water, MTV President Christina Norman said...Jay-Z said he wants to build 1,000 "play pumps" in Africa by the time the tour is over. The devices feature a rudimentary merry-go-round that pumps water from a well into a storage tank as it spins."

Big Ups Jay-Z. It just goes to show you that once the Cristal is put down [remember the whole boycotting thing earlier this summer that's still ongoing]the drinks and issues that truly matter become much more important.
