few have paid homage to our culture quite like JAY-Z
From as far back as his 1996 debut album, 'Reasonable Doubt'
And as recent as 2017’s '4:44'
Hov’s provided lines the Latino community can relate to
Like this one from “Fuck Up The World” off 'Magna Carta Holy Grail'.
And 2013’s “Open Letter” detailing his controversial trip to Cuba
Not to mention all the times Hov’s rapped in Spanish.
Plus the fact his nickname “Hovito” is Spanish derived
And yeah we could chalk Shawn Carter up as an honorary hispanic for all his reppin.'
I’m Letty for Genius News, bringing you the meaning and knowledge behind the music.
