Jay-Z, Beyoncé Meet President Obama During White House Visit

It was the president of rap meeting the President of the United States. During the Washington, D.C. leg of his trek in support of The Blueprint 3, the Carter administration (including Jay-Z, wife Beyoncé, her mom, tourmate Trey Songz and manager Kevin Liles) visited President Barack Obama at the one and only White House.

In the past, Hov has bragged in his raps that he he frequently chats with Obama "on the text" and recently told the media the commander in chief works out to his latest album, but nothing was more evident of their relationship when a few photos of Jay, B and company made its way to the Internet.

One of two photos depicts the cast sitting around a table awaiting Obama's arrival. Ironically, Jay sits in a chair directly underneath the Presidential seal that hangs slightly over his head. (Is that Obama's seat? Doesn't Jigga sort of look right in that spot?)

The kid from Flushing Avenue in Marcy has come a long way to the great lawn at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Rap beefs and bullies — nah, he's off that. Rick Ross rapped about being in the White House, but Jay has made a note about his lyrics throuhgout his career that he really lives it. Eat your heart out, Ross.

Foo Fighters Debut New Song On White House Lawn

Foo Fighters had a pretty sweet view of the Washington, D.C. fireworks on Independence Day, as they were on stage on the lawn of the White House while they were happening. The band played a private show for the Obama family and White House staff to celebrate the Fourth of July. “It’s an honor to be playing here for you people. I’m glad that we’re here and I’m glad that we’re spending this Fourth of July together,” Grohl said as he opened the show, which featured the unveiling of a new song called “Wheels.” Grohl described the song as about “the feeling when the wheels touch the ground and you’re like ‘I’m glad that’s over with.’” In the chorus, Grohl sings, “When you feel like it’s all over, there’s another round for you.”

It’s a very appropriate sentiment for Foo Fighters, who are currently in a state of flux. The group has been on an official hiatus since the end of their tour last year, and bassist Nate Mendel is hitting the road with his old band Sunny Day Real Estate. Grohl himself has a new project too: He’s teaming up with former collaborators Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin). The still-unnamed band’s existence isn’t new (Grohl has been discussing the project since 2005), but they are currently recording an album in Los Angeles.

What would you name the band? We’re bummed that Probot has already been taken, but we’re sure those guys will come up with something.
