” WE DID IT BROOKLYN , WE DID IT ” – biggie
Kinda makes lil wayne and baby look silly when they talking about wayne has more money then hov !
Damn yal if i could explain what this is like for brooklyn kats man . The garden dont really like puttin hip-hop in there . they got better past couple years . niggaz use to have to go long island or to jersey . now all we gotta to do is walk a block or two ! crazy!!!
Much respect for what he said. That was real!
@Ezlogic co-sign to the fullest i live in fort greene so i’m super close…
Jay Z is so full of himself. His extravagant lifestyle that breeds generations of mentally handicapped urban kids makes me want to vomit. The American dream huh? Maybe if he actually produced something of value I would feel that a fitting description of his financial success. that nigga too materialistic , God vomits materialistic ppl
Look like Jay was gonna break down in tears up there. I read up on Jay’s investment in the arena. He gave up a little of his share of the Nets to take a bigger stake in the arena. Smart move seeing how he got a 40/40 in there, gets free use of a suite whenever, can perform there for free whenever, and he picked out some expensive ass champagne for the place. Hell, he’s gonna pocket $15 million from these shows alone. His investment in that arena is going to carry him long after he’s finished with music.
But I wouldn’t call it the house Hov built because Bruce Ratner has been pushing for that thing to get built for decades.
This is the True American Dream. Not Being the President, Being Jay-Z. I mean, this dude has defied the laws of making it in life..
Dude just had a vision and just went after it hard.. His HUSTLE is the come up… 50 cent’s hustle is crazy.. BUT you gotta give it to Jay on this one.. And what ” Prestigious” said above.. ->
That’s pure GENIUS to take a bigger stake in the arena.. YOu can’t say enough about these moves, Im surprised Diddy didnt come with any of this, but maybe because Diddy had kids that he didnt go where Jay really took it.. 50 might have a shot something like this, but Fif moves so fast on his money.. He doesnt sit still on one thing.
I was 2 the concert on friday i must the the energy was electric but hov’s performance lacked a lil bit. no surprises other than Big Daddy Kane. No problem with that but his voice will not hold up for 8 shows if he keeps up this pace. It was already cracking 3 songs into his performance. im from fort greene so it’s real easy for me to get there as well just hope the peace it kept throughtout, 1. [tellmehowilooknow.wordpress.com]
