HE helped get the first black man into the White House - and now JAY-Z reckons he knows how to fix Broken Britain too. The power to bring change, he says, in in our own hands.
The US rapper who picked up a Brit for Best International Male Solo Artist on Tuesday tells The Sun in an exclusive interview that change will only come if people use their vote at the next election.
However, he reckons neither GORDON BROWN nor DAVID CAMERON have the charisma of PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.
Jay-Z said: "Everyone needs new blood once in a while. And Britain needs it to shake up the country. People are calling it Broken Britain, so there's obviously a problem.
"Someone needs to reinvigorate and galvanise the country and give it something to believe in. That means a leader with charisma to get the youth out to vote.
"The rise of the BNP is also a problem. Power is dangerous in the hands of the wrong person and it's up to the people to get them out of there - which goes back to voting.

Isn’t jay-Z the one that was wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt, not having a clue that Che was a racist? Honestly, who cares what this guy thinks?
Stardom in Acton, that's all they got.
Well, like most deluded useful idiots he thinks he put obama where he is and Obama does ntohing to dispell this delusion. I suppose JayZ thinks he has the ability to play with the world’s leaders as an equal, like Obama thinks he does.
It’s ambition and the desire to be a power player. The actual playesr though don’t go into entertainment.
This coming from the guy who had a party in London and they wouldn’t let “white” people in?
Did he actually do that?!
