Jay-Z Care About Youth Fitness

Although it is veiled as a somewhat militant call to the hip-hop community, careful listeners will notice that Jay-Z's newest hit (feat. Kanye and Rihanna) is actually a call for the youth of this nation to rise up in a different way. Namely, he wants them to get off their hefty loins and "Run This Town."

We get our first hints during Rihanna's introduction to the song, which serves as a disclaimer to those about to participate in this particular exercise:

Feel it comin' in the air
see me the sreets from everywhere
I'm addicted to the thrill
It's a dangerous spooky man
Can't be scared when it goes down
Got a problem, tell me now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight...
Is who's gonna run this town tonight...
We gonna run this town

She might as well continue:

Go too fat from eatin' pie
Gotta be atleast this tall to ride
If your pregnant go away
Heart conditions? Can not play
Only thing that on my mind
Who's eligible to run this town tonight...

Of course, if we were to base this only on a few verses, it would be a very unsatisfying reading of the work. However, like all good readings, it is supported by the work itself. Jay-Z's call to wear "all black all everything" clearly indicates a type of uniform set aside for the particular activity at hand. Of course, gym is known for such clothing:
Jay-Z does at one point make a racial statement, one that some may consider insensitive or stereotypical. However, on further examination, it becomes clear that it is a fair steretype: "Back to runnin' circles 'round white folks." Seriously, is anyone going to challenge that? I don't think so. Jay-Z is merely appealing for black children to return to live up to their land speed superiority. His language here is consistent with the over all theme: get off the couch and run your town.

Now, I would be remiss if I did not address Kanye's verse. Although, as it is Kanye, it should be noted that Kanye's verse has absolutely nothing to do with running, towns, obese children, or anything else in the song. Then again, it is Kanye, so what did you expect. This is better addressed in Cracked.com's article, "What if Kanye is Retarded?" http://www.cracked.com/blog/what-if-kanye-west-is-retarded/

It is clear that Jay-Z is aiming to soften his gangster schtick and appeal to a broader audience. Now, as healthcare is taking the limelight, it is clear that Jay-Z doesn't want people to sit and wait for the government to take action, but that along with proper medical treatment, America should be a fit nation concerned with preventative care as well as reforms in the healthcare industry. How true Jay-Z.
One question remains. How does Rick feel about this one?
