In the new August Vibe Magazine cover story with Young Jeezy, he is quoted as saying "No disrespect to Barack, but I fuck with John McCain," which came moments after shaking the hand of the Arizona Senator and presumptive Republican Presidential nominee on the set of his Saturday Night Live performance with Usher in May. He adds in the article, "I like Barack, but at the same time I wanted to see what McCain was talking about." Jeezy, who has been a visible Obama supporter in recent weeks and has been seen wearing the message "My President is Black" during various appearances has just posted a video response to clarify his position:
"I represent the Democratic party...I've never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter," says Jeezy. "I support Barack Obama."

Kidz In The Hall's road trip began in New Jersey as producer Double O devised a bass-heavy instrumental and decided he and rapper Naledge were going to travel the USA putting their favorite artists on the record. The duo paid a visit to Masta Ace in Brooklyn, NY and then made a quick pit stop in the Bronx to say what up to Pusha T from The Clipse. The journey continued on to Chi Town where the group linked up with the Cool Kids. From there it was on to Port Arthur, TX to visit Bun B. Their final destination, like so many road trips, was California, where Kidz In The Hall met up with Pac Division, Tyga, Glasses Malone and Mistah F.A.B.
