Jay-Z, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Rev. Al Sharpton, Governor David Paterson broke ground on the future home of the Nets.

Before Jay-Z and Trey Songz hit the stage in Washington, DC for their storm across America in the Blueprint 3 tour, hip-hop’s first couple hit the White House to say hello to Barack Obama.  As reported yesterday, the Carter Adminstration met the Obama Administration, but now we got the photos to prove it.

Beyonce sang the first couple’s first song at the inauguration, and they have been friends ever since.  Hov campaigned relentlessly for the President during his campaign against Sen. John McCain, and has shown strong support.  We are not sure what Jay, Bey and company spoke about with the President, but I am sure Jay reminded him about 99 Problems…

But for now, he’s concentrating on perfecting the second leg of his arena tour. “I’ve been working on my live show for 10 years now, just trying to get it better and better. I used to come out with just a DJ, now I got a band. The production’s gotten bigger and the lighting guy takes off his shoes and he plays to the beat,” he laughs. “The whole thing is being upgraded every single year.”

Gov. Paterson has 99 problems — and Jay-Z might be one of them.

The governor’s friendship with the hip-hop impresario is raising questions because of the latter’s involvement with AEG, the consortium controversially selected to run a multibillion-dollar racino at Aqueduct Racetrack.

Paterson’s bond with the man born Shawn Carter was growing at the same time that Jay-Z was being courted to join the Aqueduct Entertainment Group.

Paterson tabbed AEG in late January to turn the aging track into a slick gaming venue with 4,500 video slot machines.

But the deal is under federal investigation after questions were raised about the secret selection process.

Last Aug. 31, Jay-Z and his wife, Beyoncé, shared a podium with Paterson to announce that Jay-Z would stage a 9/11 benefit concert at Madison Square Garden.
