First Look At Jay Z’s Holiday Collaboration With BARNEYS + Samuel Jackson Criticizes President Obama For Not Being "Presidential" Enough

Jay Z is prepping for the holiday season with a new partnership with Barney’s.  Get the deets inside and see what Samuel Jackson had to say about Barack Obama acting "more presidential" and kick the butts of Republicans.  

Previoulsy we told you that Jay Z was teaming up with Barney’s Barneys New York for the Holidays, and now we’ve got the first look at their new collaboration. The luxury department store recently revealed their new logo and Jay’s rep tweeted "#BNYSCC !!!!! PROUD to announce the collaboration between Shawn "JAY Z" Carter and BARNEYS NEW YORK !!!! 1 year in the making !!!!" 

We’ll keep you posted about the items the two have created together….

In "WTF" news……

In the October 2013 issue of PLAYBOY Magazine, (because this is the perfect place for this type of discussion…) Samuel Jackson accuses President Obama of trying too hard to "relate" Americans and being "too safe".  

The magazine asked Sam him to speak about politicians who seem to "dumb" themselves down to appear more relatable to voters.  Samuel accuses President Obama of doing this and asks, "How the fuck did we become a society where mediocrity is acceptable?"

Yes, Sam is saying some things that may quickly come up in our own thoughts, but dude actually says it.

Here we go….

PLAYBOY: Or a society that views graduating from college or grad school as elitist, or one in which President Obama or other highly educated Americans consciously drop gs off the ends of words to sound like Joe Average?

JACKSON: First of all, we know it ain’t because of his blackness, so I say stop trying to “relate.” Be a leader. Be fucking presidential. Look, I grew up in a society where I could say “It ain’t” or “What it be” to my friends. But when I’m out presenting myself to the world as me, who graduated from college, who had family who cared about me, who has a well-read background, I fucking conjugate.

PLAYBOY: With your and your wife’s militant revolutionary background, how political are you today, especially having told Ebony magazine in 2012 that you wanted President Obama to “get scary”?

JACKSON: He got a little heated about the kids getting killed in Newtown and about the gun law. He’s still a safe dude. But with those Republicans, we’re now in a situation where even if he said, “I want to give you motherfuckers a raise,” they’d go, “Fuck you! We don’t want a raise!” I don’t know how we fix this bullshit. How do we fix the fact that politicians aren’t trying to serve the people, they’re just trying to serve their party and their closed ideals? How do we find a way to say, “You motherfuckers are fired because you’re not doing shit about taking care of the country”?

Samuel closed by co-singing on Hillary Clinton’s potential bid for the presidency as he feels she’d kick a lot of ass.  

If Hillary Clinton decides to run, she’s going to kick their fucking asses, and those motherfuckers would rather see the country go down in flames than let the times change. But as I tell my daughter, there was a time we would be in the streets about this shit.

Oh Sam.
