If the Italians can get along with the Irish, I just don\u2019t understand why it\u2019s gotta come to what it\u2019s gotta come to \u2026 I ain\u2019t never seen anyone from Apple kill someone from Microsoft,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"wpcom-iframe-ad4e5c22aaddb6dcbea70ddb9d453f17\" width=\"640\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/embeds.nypost.com\/protected-iframe\/ad4e5c22aaddb6dcbea70ddb9d453f17\" scrolling=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" class=\"wpcom-protected-iframe\"><br \/>\n    <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He knows about what he preaches.

He will be able to mentor some of these young up and comers, who need nurturing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16644280\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-nypost-large-desktop-uncropped wp-image-16644280 lazyload\" alt=\"Jaylen Rose and Jeezy in 2009.\" width=\"662\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/jalen-rose-jeezy-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/jalen-rose-jeezy-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/jalen-rose-jeezy-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/jalen-rose-jeezy-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=662 662w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/jalen-rose-jeezy-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1324 1324w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 662px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span>Jaylen Rose and Jeezy in 2009.<\/span><span class=\"credit\">FilmMagic<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And even though he is a rapper, he\u2019s always been more about the business, a\u2009k\u2009a \u201ccorporate thuggin\u2019.\u201d He told me that unlike many artists, he never had a notebook full of rhymes as a kid. He is a hustler who became an MC, not the other way around. He launched his talk show, \u201cWorth a Conversation With Jay \u2018Jeezy\u2019 Jenkins\u201d on Fox Soul, with guests such as Steve Harvey. It\u2019s a natural role for him. He said he got to where he is now by listening to people. He\u2019s also doing a podcast \u201c(Re)Session\u201d and, of course, has his own clothing line.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also been a very powerful political force in the black community. Before the 2008 election, he worked really hard to get folks to get out and vote. He organized buses to get people to the polls and did a lot behind the scenes. That\u2019s around the time he recorded \u201cThe Recession\u201d album, and there were a lot of us entertainers and athletes in the black community rallying people to vote.<\/p>\n<p>That obviously contributed to Barack Obama getting elected and Jeezy\u2019s song, \u201cMy President\u201d becoming a hit. We celebrated at the Inauguration, and there is this great picture of us with Jay-Z and Akon. It was the glorious culmination of months of labor, and it was so gratifying. Jeezy is the guy who can function anywhere from the hood to the boardroom to the White House.<\/p>\n<p>One place he might not be welcome after this podcast drops? Probably the Balenciaga store. In 2019, he wore a pair of cowboy boots from the fashion house, and was universally roasted for them. He said they were his biggest style misstep. \u201cI almost lost friends over them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Detroit native Jalen Rose is a member of the University of Michigan\u2019s iconoclastic Fab Five, who shook up the college hoops world in the early \u201990s.
