Jay-Z and wife Beyonce went to Cuba to celebrate their 5 year wedding anniversary and received criticism from those who want to continue the unjust 50 year old blockade on the island of Cuba.
Some called for an investigation into the vacation which was approved by the United States government. In their opinion this trip helped the image of the Cuban government which they have opposed ever since the Cuban revolution in 1959.
In the song below Jay-Z addresses the criticism.
Hip Hop activist and the 2008 Green Party Vice Presidential candidate Rosa Clemente calls out Rick Ross on new verse talking about slipping Molly to a female without her knowledge and then raping her.
The name of the song is “You Ain’t Even Know It” by Rocko featuring Rick Ross.
He raps “Put molly all in the champagne, she ain’t even know it
I took her home and I enjoy that, she aint even know it”.
Besides promoting the drug Molly to our youth which seems to be mentioned in every mainstream rap song (they must have all gotten the memo), Ross is now promoting rape and telling you how to use Molly to do so.
Rosa Clemente decided to respond to Rick Ross with a video released on YouTube condemning what she describes is a rape culture in which the promotion of rape and the domination of women in general is normal, accepted and tolerated.
She calls on men to speak out against this rape culture and to make their voices heard in regards to lyrics like these.
Check out her appeal below and expose the poison that the industry is promoting to people.

Hugo Chavez visited The South Bronx in 2005..the place he arrived to was The Point… from this visit he decided to show Solidarity and brought low cost heating oil to The BX so that poor people could have heat in the winter.
Then the PetroBronx program was started in that the Venezuelan people amidst The Bolivarian Revolution again showed love as a social justice initiative began in that millions of dollars in funding thru VZ owned Citgo and The NorthStar Foundation was given to local organizations. RDACBX was one of those organizations as they directly funded the creation of The Nuestra America Media Center, in which for the last 3 years media workshops were held along with Summer Youth Employment and film screenings. Many other organizations were also supported and funded.
We are infinitely appreciative for this love shown to us by The Bolivarian Revolution. We mourn the death of Hugo Chavez and promise to all Work Like Chavez and step it up here in The Bronx.
