NEW MUSIC: Jay-Z Aims at DJ Khaled and Fat Joe
Fat Joe and Khaled Get Dissed by a Newly Wed
What? Jay is clearly going at DJ Khaled and Fat Joe on a new Uncle Murder song. The “Untitled” track debuted last night on Kay Slay’s show (Hot 97 – NYC). Apparently the beat is courtesy of Pharrell Williams. Does Chad still produce with him? Someone fill me in (yo@hiptics.com).
Someone send Jay the link.
I’m not going to analyze what Jay said about Khaled and Joe. You can hear it for yourself (Murder comes nice!). He did say something that bugged me. Jay likened himself to Che Guevara saying, “Ain’t no stoppin this Roc-A-Fella movement/The name is Jay Guevara.”
Che Guevara may have been a revolutionary but he was also a ruthless killer who ruined countless lives. Ironically today his image the epitome of capitalism. Check this article about Che Guevara before you wear a t-shirt with his face.
In January 1957, as his diary from the Sierra Maestra indicates, Guevara shot Eutimio Guerra because he suspected him of passing on information: “I ended the problem with a .32 caliber pistol, in the right side of his brain…. His belongings were now mine.” Later he shot Aristidio, a peasant who expressed the desire to leave whenever the rebels moved on. While he wondered whether this particular victim “was really guilty enough to deserve death,” he had no qualms about ordering the death of Echevarría, a brother of one of his comrades, because of unspecified crimes: “He had to pay the price.” At other times he would simulate executions without carrying them out, as a method of psychological torture.
Luis Guardia and Pedro Corzo, two researchers in Florida who are working on a documentary about Guevara, have obtained the testimony of Jaime Costa Vázquez, a former commander in the revolutionary army known as “El Catalán,” who maintains that many of the executions attributed to Ramiro Valdés, a future interior minister of Cuba, were Guevara’s direct responsibility, because Valdés was under his orders in the mountains. “If in doubt, kill him” were Che’s instructions. On the eve of victory, according to Costa, Che ordered the execution of a couple dozen people in Santa Clara, in central Cuba, where his column had gone as part of a final assault on the island. Some of them were shot in a hotel, as Marcelo Fernándes-Zayas, another former revolutionary who later became a journalist, has written—adding that among those executed, known as casquitos, were peasants who had joined the army simply to escape unemployment.
