A short letter to Jay-Z

Dear Jay-Z, 

I'm sure you are well aware that before you become the biggest rapper on the planet, there was Big Daddy Kane, who you should respectfully hand over at least 5% of your royalties in order to pay homage. Big Daddy Kane's style you emulated. It's BIg Daddy Kane that gave Brooklyn cats like you and Biggie a career. Remember when you appeared in Kane's Show and Prove video with ODB? But Jay, you have paid mad dues. It's your best interest to do so in order to appear authentic. Still, I'm left with a sad taste in my mouth because your wealth is something that occupies your time and has allowed you to team up with the the same forces that are responsible for the worst excesses of the gentrification in Bed-sty.  How many families in Fort Green have the Brooklyn Nets displaced? Did you go down to Zucotti Park like Russell Simmons and represent those disenfranchised and neglected by corporate ubiquitousness that first goes after a person's creative need to be original?
