As we all know Mikhail Prokhorov is the billionaire mogul, KGB-connected, Russian Presidential candidate/majority owner of the New Jersey-Brooklyn Nets. One of his co-owners is rap legend Shawn Carter aka Jay-Z aka Jigga aka HOVA. To put it simply they both wear a lot of hats. In recent years, Jay-Z has become more of a” business man, not a business, maann…”
Well, it appears from the video below that in turn, Prokhorov has caught Jay-Z’s freestyling skills by osmosis. For some reason, Prokhorov is on Russian television rapping on what could only be called the Russian answer to The View.
Prokhorov has what it takes. He’s already speaking in the third person and even dubs himself the Russian Eminem. My thing is if Pitbull can “Make in America”, Prokhorov could cut at least one bilingual gold record, right? It sounds better than anything Jay-Z’s Rocafella partner Dame Dash released. Since Prokhorov is actually running for President of Russia, is it too early to dub the inevitable Jay-Z-Prokhorov collaboration “Watch The Fuhrer”
