Ackward Moment with Jay Z & Jimmy Kimmel Last Night

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

he basically accused Jay Z of leading the way for the massive Gentrification that has happened in Brooklyn in which cac' hipsters and tech geeks have pushed out Black and Latino families who've lived in the area for decades...

Jay had a guilty look on his face


so basically, thanks to Jay Z and his partnership with Brett Ratner and Barclay's Center/Nets.. he uprooted thousands of blacks and latinos.. great job hov. thats ur legacy in BK

Brooklyn went from this in 1993

to this in 2015

I noticed that moment as well.

Jay's right though. It was already happening/gonna happen. Dude just decided to have a hand in it as well since it's his hometown.

I still can't believe that people are watching tv in 2015 let alone this corny idiot.
There is a huge thread on Jay being the mascot for the Nets and for gentrification in Brooklyn.

On the inside jayz feel bad...he say it in his music...his ambitious vs his morals...I think it does bother him but he's so addicted to reaching the top he has tunnel vision

If you don't/have never lived in NY then your opinions on gentrification are irrelevant. Some of these neighborhoods you couldn't even drive by safely, let alone walk. so I cosign it, sadly it's a loose loose situation but I'd rather pick the safer out of the two evils.

Where I live hasn't been picked off yet, but it's getting there, but as nice as the area is, the projects are still literally down the block

They were going to do this anyway. They had this planned since the early 90s. Jay just got a check out of it. Who can look back a few blocks from where they used to sell crack 20 years ago and say they helped bring a stadium a block over?

 

[I love Latina women]

that nikka always look so insecure and nervous in interviews

 

[I love Latina women]

my dad watched jay's performance on kimmel last night because he likes jigga's "empire state of mind" song and when jay finished rappin', my dad was like, "that nikka done got old. he all outta breath"

 

[Easy-E]

he basically accused Jay Z of leading the way

Fall for the " Yea, the guy on the TV is the leader" bit they played on us, brehs.

Clown him for owning 0.1% of the Nets but blame him for the gentrification of Brooklyn.

Makes sense.
