Jay-Z shares Open Letter
By Aly Barchi | Published on Friday 12 April 2013
Shaun ‘Jay-Z’ Carter has released an ‘Open Letter’ via a new track titled… well, that. It deals with his and Mrs Bey Carter’s politically shaky anniversary trip to Havana last week; you remember, the one that may or may not have breached America’s Cuban embargo. Yeah, that one.
Anyways, its lines are all fairly pertinent a propos of said Havana hullabaloo, especially this: “Obama said ‘chill, you gonna get me impeached’/We don’t need this shit anyway chill with me on the beach'”.
What a rhyme. Hear ‘Open Letter’, a collaboration with Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, here:
