Crazy election, amirite? Who would of thought? Don't worry, it's all coming to an end soon. In the meantime, Jay Z hosted a get out the vote concert at the Wolstein Center at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

With election day rapidly approaching, Clinton, as well as that racist orange man, are going all out. Some see the performance, and similar gestures by Clinton, as a last ditch effort to garner as many young voters as possible. Hillary Clinton has been struggling to attract young voters, who have been skeptical of the candidate. On the flip side, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been having an especially difficult time attracting black voters and voters of color due to his, well you know, the whole unabashed racism and xenophobia thing, not to mention misogyny, xenophobia, racism, sexism, racism and racism.

Election day is this Tuesday, November 8th. Head here to find your polling place.

Jay Z also brought out some surprise guests. Beyoncé, Chance The Rapper, J.Cole, and Big Seanmade appearances. Jay Z, Beyoncé and a host of others urged folks to cast their votes in favor of Clinton. Beyoncé remarked, "I want my daughter to grow up seeing a women lead our country and knowing that her possibilities are limitless..." Meanwhile the racist orange tinted man with extremely small hands, while at a rally in Hersey, Pennsylvania, said, "I hear we set a new record for this building, and by the way, I didn't have to bring J-Lo or Jay Z. I am here all by myself. Just me. No guitar. No piano. No nothing." Sad.

Chance The Rapper will also be hosting his own get out the vote concert in Chicago on November 7th. Peep the performances below and may God be with us all during these turbulent times.
