Jay-Z Brings Oprah To The Hood

Is Oprah's beef with Hip Hop over? Not likely, but it may be taking a step in the right direction.

New York rapper Jay-Z was seen walking around Marcy Projects with Oprah yesterday, hinting of the Hip Hop moguls upcoming appearance on the talk show host's couch.

Oprah has been at odd ends with many rappers in Hip Hop for some time now.

From shutting out Ludacris during an interview for Crash to not even inviting Ice Cube on stage during a cast interview for Barbershop, Oprah's dislike for the genre has been apparent.

"Maybe she's got a problem with hip-hop. She's had damn rapists, child molesters and lying authors on her show." Ice Cube is said in an interview.

"And if I'm not a rags-to-riches story for her, who is?" He continued.

Well, we now have an answer--and apparently it's Jay-Z.

According to the rumor mill Winfrey was shooting a segment for an upcoming episode of her show, which will feature Hov.

The rapper is prepping the release of his highly anticipated 'Blueprint 3' album, which hits stores September 11.
