I Have a question for this news cast. Throughout this whole screening, Jay-z talked about the billions and billions of people across the world that don't have access to clean water, but never did I hear how his world tours are going to help him help them; fact is, I never heard what he was proposing to do about the situation at all.. I do commend Mr. Carter for opening his eye on the situation, but I still don't see how his " sudden arousement" is truly going to help these billions of people and to not have a well thought out plan infront of cameras is absurd.
