Jay-Z & Common Release "Open Letter Part II" The Remix to the Controversial Track
Jay-Z's April 11th release of the controversial track Open Letter has sparked up some supportive responses from other artists in the music industry like Pitbull and Common.
In the latest remix release of the track, Common shows support by adding his own lyrics mentioning the political issue of Jay and Bey's wedding anniversary trip to Cuba and also the asylum of activist Assata Shakur who has been in Cuba since 1984.
"My man went to Cuba, caught in a political triangle, Bermuda/the same way they said she was shooter/ Assata Shakur, they tried to execute her"
The song, originally crafted by Jay-Z, has ignited a splurge of conversations across multiple platforms about race and class issues within the African-American and Latino Communities.
Is Hip hop going to it's original form of technique? Lyrics written about whats happening within the cracks of our country and the things that most don't want to talk about.
