New Music: Jay-Z’s New ‘Open Letter’ Discusses Everything From Obama To Cuba To ‘New World Management’
After recent media scrutiny on his recent trip to Cuba, rumored sale of Brooklyn Nets stock and more Hov enlists Swizz Beatz and Timbaland to release his stress. Mr. Carter waxes poetics over a bouncy ominous track premiered on his Life+Times soundcloud and Hot 97′s Morning Show.
Jay-Z debuted a new song, “Open Letter,” and he doesn’t mince words.
On the song, Jay-Z says, “Politicians never did s**t for me / except lie to me, distort history.”
He also talked about the pressures that he and Obama face in their respective fields.
“Obama said ‘You gonna get me impeached / we don’t need this sh*t anyway chill with me on the beach,” Jay raps.
Briefly, he spoke on the critics that had something to say about his trip with Cuba with wife Beyonce, which was eventually found to be government approved.
“I can turn Havana to Atlanta / ballin’ too much they try to jam you,” he spits. “I’m in Cuba, I love Cubans.”
In his letter he also manages to speak on the recent revelation that he’s selling his stake in The Brooklyn Nets.
“Woulda brought ‘em to Brooklyn for free, ‘cept I made a million off you f**kin’ dweebs.
The “Open Letter” also acted as another weapon in the war of radio stations, Hot 97 and Power 105. “We been holding this town up,” said Ebo Darden, Hot 97′s program director.
