It seems like Jay-Z has something to say to all those who have been criticizing his recent trip to Cuba…

So obviously, the music icon is delivering his comments in a style fit for the ruling King of hip hop!

Take a listen to Open Letter, featuring Timbaland and Swizz Beatz (above)!

Ohhhh, so Jay went to Cuba cause he really likes smoking cubans! It all makes sense now! LOLz.

Nah, it seems that this lyrical genius is simply trying to say don't succumb to the narrow, spoon-fed view of the world that we are often taught, and that it's SILLY that he had to call in a favor from his bestie Barack Obama so that he could go visit another country…

Especially one that we historically tried to capitalize on.

And if that IS somewhat the message of this track then TRUE THAT, dude!

Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!!

Hillary Clinton, regardless of how you feel about her involvement with the Benghazi screw up, has done a lot of inspiring things during her run as Secretary of State! Of note, she has always been huge on gender equality — and as a woman in power, we are glad she recognized her important role in doing what she can for women everywhere!

Let us tell you that it's NO JOKE when we say that her speech was incredible! Seriously! If it weren't so crazy long, we'd bring you the whole thing!

What we WILL bring you, even though it too could be considered long, is the segment on women. It gave us chills. Please take the time to read it — it's absolutely worth it:

Rapper Lupe Fiasco has never had a problem with speaking his mind — and last night was no exception!

Lupe, who's from Chicago, performed at an unofficial inaugural ball on Sunday night and managed to turn a weekend of Barack Obama-centric celebration into one of criticism!

After performing his song, Words I Never Said at StartUp RockOn's concert, Lupe was reportedly rushed off the stage, after the crowd of Obama supporters became furious!

One line of Lupe's track reads:

If you don't want us to know it's you Vanessa, maybe you should leave the fringed Uggs at home?!?

A camera shy Vanessa Hudgens and boyfriend Austin Butler were spotted at a shooting range in Los Angeles on Friday.

Was this in preparation for a new gun-slinging action film or a political statement about gun control?

Either way, what a bangin' way to start the weekend!! LOLz.

So much for the theory of “carrying a gun makes you safe”…

Ever since the tragic Sandy Hook shooting, gun control has been at the center of political discussion and this most recent incident isn't helping the Pro-NRA believers!

A man was being booked on charges of domestic violence at a New Jersey police station this morning when he shot and injured three police officers before other officers shot back and killed him.

Gloucest Township Deputy Chief David Harkins revealed the man and cops got into a "violent struggle" during processing when he got ahold of one of their guns.

All officers are in stable condition fortunately, but when will the violence stop?!

This only proves that guns are more destructive than protective in any scenario!

Listen up bros!!

Sarah Silverman has a VERY important message for you!

Press "PLAY" (above) to hear her 4 simple rules to scoring access to lovely lady parts… if that's what you're into. :)

SPOILER ALERT! This is political.

We realize some of you don't like to be presented with one-sided arguments. But in THIS case we are 150 percent with our Jewish friend Sarah!

EVERYONE needs to stand up for women's rights! Not just the ladies!

If you love the ladies, you should stand up for them!

If you've ever watched broadcast news through a critical, thoughtful lens then you should know NO news network is perfect, and all have some degree of political and philosophical influence…

But one of the WORST offenders of news manipulation under a political agenda is Fox News, which is why we almost squealed in delight when Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Thomas Ricks called out the network for "operating as the wing of the Republican Party."

Watch a man who has covered the military for YEARS voice his expert opinion on how Fox chooses to report on certain events (above)!

Obviously, right after Mr. Ricks' damning statement, the interview is immediately CUT, ’cause god forbid Fox News lets someone voice an opinion that doesn't coincide with what they want to their viewers to know.
