Jay-Z Clears The Streets of New York

Mayor Bloomberg, Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan, and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter invite New Yorkers from across the five boroughs to take their fun to the streets on three Saturdays this month during Summer Streets. For the next three Saturdays, August 9th, 16th and 23rd, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., vehicle traffic will be replaced along seven miles of City streets by New Yorkers and visitors taking leisurely strolls, going for a bike ride or taking part in organized activities such as aikido, salsa dancing, tai-chi, running, rollerblading and hopscotch. August

This is a great look.  Clear the streets for the kids and let them enjoy the summer days. Hats off to Hova.  Read the FULL story here:

    This is good right here.

    There is a WHOLE LOT more that Jay Z and rappers alike could be doing for the community as well. This is a good image for the press, nice time for photo ops but I wouldn’t make it like he’s giving whole neighborhoods remodels or something. Good none the less but some of you are
