10 best lyrics from Jay-Z’s ‘Magna Carter Holy Grail’

Shawn Carter, Jay-Z

“Oceans”

“I’m anti-Santa Maria / Only Christopher we recognize is Wallace / I don’t even like Washingtons in my pocket.”


Oddly, MCHG was released on Independence Day. But Jay-Z takes aim at George Washington and Christopher Columbus. It’s more of a shot at the founding fathers who fought for freedom from the British while legally participating in slavery and the taking land from Native Americans.
