DrewBreezWe were waiting on Hov to make a statement to the press about his ill-timed deal with Barney New York for their holiday collection, as the clothing outlet has fought allegations of racist practices in its stores. Didn’t have to wait very long as Mr. Carter released a statement via his Life and Times outlet. But that wasn’t all. He contacted us with an exclusive freestyle broaching the topics at hand. Full lyrics after the jump.
told y’all my presence IS charity
made a mill off barney’s
in like half a week
paparazzi cameras
can’t capture me
and i do this activist sh*t
casual-LEE
so all this chatter
i catch at my peak
won’t you please leave a message
after the beep
~chea~
i roll dat baby carriage with B
she my favorite marriage
only AFTER these STREETS
how i put them
alex wangs on her feet
keep watching my fangs, silly hater
i’ma BEAST
mang
where’s Bleek when i need ‘im?
cast me in a grave
for seekin’ my freedom
ask Bleek i don’t feed him
he the last link to my street
like Angie
Martinez

in they board room
Powerpoints n’ charts
turn it in to a Bored Room
~chea~

He’s really justifying? Go make cake.
If he’s not making money from all these, why lend his name? He could easily give money to charity!
