Jay-Z Documentary

There is a great 24 minute documentary about Jay-Z and his Brooklyn concerts this past summer. If you don't have time to watch the entire thing, then fast forward to about 18:30 in and you will see Jay-Z riding the subway and trying to explain to a woman who he is and whether he is famous.

  5. I just watched the old lady bit too. It was cute. But why is he taking a subway, and with all that security around him, how did he manage to sit by a "commoner"?

  6. Right after the bit with Ellen (she was so cute!), pause at 20:12 to see a girl (dark shirt, jeans, white belt) look like she's about to hyperventilate and burst into tears. Man, I never do get that kind of fan worship. And it's JayZ, not Elvis!

  8. That lady is the real star of the clip. I don't really give a shit about Jay Z, but she was cute.

  9. The lady is cute, but if I were a regular commuter, I'd be really pissed about the huge crowd.

    I live in Chicago and used to work off the Red Line. On Cubs game nights, it was impossible to get a spot on the train going home.

  12. @DBZee, I think when I was in middle school I might have hyperventilated if I had met Freedom Williams with his shirt off. He was always just trying to get a nut to move your butt.

  16. The best part of that website, DBZee, is that it's written by a guy named, Sal, who refers to himself as The Fever.

  18. i just can't with jay z. ever since the profitting off the OWS movement. I'm so not impressed. I don't get his Obama love either when given his view of OWS and approach to it that his views align more w/Romney.

    I love the fact that she's a famous artist as well. Irony always makes me laugh.
