Related: About this forumxpost: 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 yall I dont agree with yall 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:
Im in Cuba, I love Cubans
This communist talk is so confusing
When its from China the very mike that I be using
Idiot wind the Bob Dylan of rap music
Youre an idiot baby, you should become a student/
The worlds under new management
New role model, f*ck that Zoolander shit

(7,362 posts)1. I agree with him
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.

Or are you just pulling this from your nether regions?

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.
