Rapper Jay-Z, who recorded a robo-call for Barack Obama in Ohio before the primary, is out with a video for Michigan urging "all [his] people" to vote on November 4.
The McCain campaign has basically abandoned Michigan, where the economic crisis has already settled in.
The real question, of course, is why the campaign got a Brooklyn-based rapper (wearing a New York hat!), rather than homegrown talent, like the notable noise-makers in Detroit.
UPDATE: Shortly after posting this item, the Obama campaign appears to have pulled the video from their YouTube page.
