xpost: Jay-Z punches back with rap aimed at critics Marco Rubio, Debbie Wasserman Schultz,



Mario Diaz-Balart, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, and the rest of the abusers who take $ from our pockets on this issue via USAID etc.

No sooner did Jay-Z fly in from “Havana to Atlanta” – inspired and a bit ticked – than he wrote these verses for his “Open Letter” to certain South Florida politicians who believe in promoting freedom by denying it to Americans:

Sorry y’all I don’t agree with y’all parents
Politicians never did shit for me
Except lie to me, distort history
They wanna give me jail time and a fine
Fine, let me commit a real crime

And our favorite:

I’m in Cuba, I love Cubans
This communist talk is so confusing
When it’s from China the very mike that I be using
“Idiot wind” the Bob Dylan of rap music
You’re an idiot baby, you should become a student/
The world’s under new management
New role model, f*ck that Zoolander shit

But I don't see why celebrities should get a free pass to break laws that the rest of us would be charged for.

I realize this is a dilemma I am not sure how to reconcile.

haven't even known exists. What US American would have ever believed this powerful government FORBIDS U.S. citizens to go to a small island country only 90 miles from Florida, anyway?

Hope Jay-Z continues to spread the word.
