Jay Z and Beyonce have made it clear they believe justice was NOT served in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin … they spent Saturday protesting the laws which allowed his killer to walk. Photos of the superstar couple showed up on Instagram … of Jay and Bey in NYC, protesting against “Stand Your Ground” laws … the law in FL which allowed George Zimmerman to claim self-defense in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon. J & B were seen posing with Trayvon’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, and Al Sharpton. Al reportedly told the crowd of protesters the famous couple was there … but didn’t want to speak and didn’t come for a photo op. As TMZ previously reported … both Beyonce and Jay have taken time out of recent performances to honor Trayvon. And last week, Beyonce tagged a photo on Instagram “JusticeForTrayvon.”

Did you know that Jay-Z’s releasing a new album in less than a month? Apparently no one did—that is, until last night during Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat, when a 3-minute Samsung commercial featuring the rapper and a few of his songwriting buddies aired across the country. As a ringing piano chord hovers over the video, the rapper also known as Hov plays around with beats for his forthcoming album, Magna Carta Holy Grail (Shawn Carter = Magna Carta, get it?), with the likes of Rick Rubin, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, and Swizz Beats. He also drops a few details about writing “the new rules” for how music is presented today, and about the release date, July 4. But that’s not a normal release date: Only if you happen to own a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, and are one of the first 1 million users to download a customized app, will you receive Magna Carta Holy Grail on Independence Day. Everyone else in the world can legally purchase the alb...
