There was backlash from critics who have called JayZ a 'CRACK
Read the NY post's report titled "Andrew Cuomo meets with former "CRACK
When you need advice on a subject, you go to an expert.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo did just that when he had a policy meeting on the subject of how cops enforce the laws with hip-hop mogul Jay Z — who earned most of his expertise in crime as a CRACK
The rapper built his musical career on songs about his past criminal exploits slinging crack in Brooklyn’s Marcy housing project.One online report lists 187 references to crack or cocaine on his 12 solo albums, including last year’s chart-topping “Magna Carta Holy Grail.”
In addition to his rap boasts about drug dealing, his criminal justice experience includes being charged with stabbing people and bashing them on their heads with bottles at his favorite city nightclubs.
David Laska, a spokesman for the state GOP, was outraged about the meeting.
“Given Jay Z’s history with the law, he’s as serious a source on police policy as Vladimir Putin is on freedom of speech,’’ he said.
“That kind of a photo-opportunity politics from the governor is the opposite of leadership"
