The year was 2013. During Beyoncé and Jay’s anniversary trip to Cuba the couple received headline after headline of bad press. The main criticism was about the legality of the trip. Politicians, like senator Rubio, asked how their trip complied with US law.

Shortly after the trip, Jay released, “Open Letter”.

Not only was this a chest-pumping response of a track, the WHITE HOUSE had to make an official statement about it.

Just a fun little piece of rap history.

Comrade Hova in the cut

POLITICIAN NEVER DID S*** FOR ME
CEPT LIE TO ME, DISTORT HISTORY

Jay and Kanye the only billionaires I wouldn't want to see get got

They're like solid liberals who are on the less annoying scale of liberalism

Chillin with 2pac

Isn’t that Franz Fanon in your header image though?

Yes lol

I didn't say I like or support Jay and Ye as billionaires

I just don't think they're horrible people either

Well I’m not gonna give you much guff cuz I got some vegan chicken tendies coming out the oven I gotta sauce up 🤝 but the spectrum for people with billions isn’t Epstein Or Good, we know that, otherwise you end up waving away things like jay z giving vc money to a startup building apps for tracking people on parole, bad s***

The money Hov gave to that startup was for an app that would let parolees check in with their POs over video calls, so they wouldn't miss appointments and thus get reincarcerated

Hov still a cornball for the Barclays s*** but like do I think the guy should be like...not alive? Nah. That's all I'm saying lol

no such thing as a good billionaire but there might be such thing as a billionaire i don't hate
