Here are some tweets from his TWITTER account:

"I don't get why people don't believe? Like.. when I was young I Believed SO HARD that I would be a famous rapper one day and it happened!"
"Even back then people said Dre you crazy as fuck you aint gon be shit in life especially not a Rapper.. I didn't get why they didn't believe"
"I believed in myself so much it was like I already KNEW the future and what was going 2 happen. I know it sounds crazy u just gotta BELIEVE!"
WTF?!
The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Jay Z Equiano? WHAT?
Olaudah Equiano (c. 1745 – 31 March 1797), also known as Gustavus Vassa, was one of the most prominent people of African heritage (Igbo) involved in the British debate for the abolition of the slave trade. His autobiography depicted the horrors of slavery and helped influence British lawmakers to abolish the slave trade through the Slave Trade Act of 1807. Despite his enslavement as a young man, he purchased his freedom and worked as a seaman, merchant, and explorer in South America, the Caribbean, the Arctic, the American colonies, and the United Kingdom.

Why would they use Jay Z's picture on the 2008 Edition of The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano? First off, it's extremely random. Couldn't we get someone that LOOKS like Equiano? I don't get it. Secondly, I'm not appreciating Jay Z's lips depicted as fire engine/ Kool Aid red. It's looking racist.
Was this a marketing ploy to get hip hop into history? They know hip hop sells. Things that make you go WTF?!
