Conflict Diamonds Remix!

Man, I post about Jay and Kanye like people post about Nikes. Whatever. Anyway, interesting track here. Kanye felt he needed to do a quick remix clearing up both the meaning behind his track Diamonds and his personal feelings on the whole issue of rappers (or anyone) buying ‘Conflict Diamonds’… Interesting stuff, his line directed at Jacob The Jeweler is pretty funny. Jay also gets on the track, but he doesn’t really touch on the whole Conflict Diamond issue…he does have some interesting verses concerning Bleek. Check the Ill Community over at AllHipHop.com for this track. And read up on Conflict Diamonds, matter of fact, read up on the whole gem trade, it’s crazy.
