I think it’s fair to say at this point that Jay-Z is the black George Clooney (WAIT, before you say ANYTHING, it’s equally fair to say at this point that George Clooney is the white Jay-Z), which is to say that he literally can do no wrong. The two of them are basically the next step in human evolution on our way to becoming PURE THOUGHT AND ENERGY. Because they both should be so thoroughly hatable and yet you cannot hate them. What is up with that? Total forcefields. “Oh, George Clooney dumped his 20-year-old waitress girlfriend and retired back to his ITALIAN CASTLE? Love that guy. Ocean’s 4ever!” Or “Oh, Jay-Z only delivers relatively weak guest verses these days because he’s too busy managing his investment in an exclusive Greenwich Village bistro called The Spotted Pig? Totally! Best rapper alive!” Doesn’t matter. I wish they would get married and adopt me. I WISH BOTH OF THEM WERE MY DADS. (Via 50Cent.livejournal.com.)

  1. Gabe, this thing with dads lately. You wanna talk?

  2. Gabe’s right, the George Clooney/Radiohead mash-up was awesome.

  3. I wish they were both your dads, too. Snarky Jewish white guy being raised by a white man with a dorky haircut and a gangsta rapper inside of a castle in Italy? Someone call Chaim Lorre, I think I have an idea!

  4. 50 cent has a livejournal? wtf

  5. Hey Jay-Z, nice ironic black glasses, dude. Is this whole thing intended to be viral marketing for your new site lookatthisfuckinhiphopartist.com?

  6. Pssssst…your hat is crooked.

  7. Gabe, you do understand that getting your wish would mean Gweneth would be your sort-of-aunt, right?

  8. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see

  9. I saw shootouts on Sunday at 12 noon too, HOCKEY GAMES, HIOOO

  10. What I learned from this post:
    1) Fashion-wise: Urkel was before his time
    2) So was Ernie from Sesame Street
    3) Even the rich can’t resist the allure of executive desk gifts from Brookstone
    4)50 Cent has a LiveJournal

  11. We doin’ big pimpin’, George Clooney
    Big pimpin’ on Ocean’s Thirteen

    Check ‘em out now

  12. According to Bing, if you were to combine Jay-Z and George Clooney you would get Bill Gates. Science!

  13. Just one small happy family.

  14. Jay-Z sounds surprisingly similar to Christopher Walken when he speaks.

  15. My favorite George Clooney movie is the one where he steals Biggie’s lines.

  16. Oh, man, I get so anxious when he talks! It sounds like he is always about to run out of breath and take a wicked inhale. Like when you try to read a run-on sentence aloud and you have trouble making it to the end because you don’t want to stop to breathe? Aaaaaaah! Breathe, Jay-Z! We will wait!

  17. Did anyone else catch the red carpet interview with Auntie Gwyneth at the Oscars where they asked her if she could sing a duet with anyone in the world, who would it be?, and she said Jay-Z! I thought yeah, great choice, except he’s not really much of a singer–ooh, but come to think of it, neither is she! Match made in heaven?

  18. We can therefore conclude that George Clooney is also H.A.M.

  19. I don’t think that’s how hats are supposed to be worn.

  20. This Jay Z interview did not warrant the black and white documentary style. “I didn’t have anything to rap about when I was young” is definitely lo-fi technicolor material.
