Jay-Z & The Artist
One of the highlights of a short documentary about Jay-Z’s eight-show run at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center is his encounter with a woman on the subway in which he politely answers her questions, introduces himself simply as “Jay” and describes himself as “not very famous.”
You gotta love how Jay-Z tells the lady that he’s going to perform “at the new Brooklyn arena” yet never actually mentions the building’s name. Jay-Z is one of the owners of NBA team Brooklyn Nets, whose home court is the Barclays Center
The clip is from the documentary “Where I’m From,” that Jay-Z posted on YouTube this week. According to Gawker, the woman has been identified as artist Ellen Grossman.
