I'm so confused as to why people think this. Brooklyn was gentrified LONG before that arena was built. And most of it was built on an old train yard.So he’s gonna do like JayZ did with Barclays in Brooklyn and displace poor people from their homes and fuel gentrification? Nice.
People who aren't from here and never been here. Too many chatty patties. I'm not a camel worshiper but that train yard wasn't doing nothing for no one

salute to Mr Jones tho
Minimum wage jobs while the rent in the area skyrockets.
how involved is he really though, jay-z....sighs..........okay i'll just say it like this, Jay-Z was the silver surfer to corporate galactus in brooklyn, hopefully nas is actually getting something out of this deal or is heavily invested and will reap a perpetual benefit from the development which he can then use to do some good. like iono if he's able to earn 10+ million a year after it's built he can develop afordable or rent controlled home in areas the displaced predominantly black population will go. then that's dope. but otherwise ain't good news but for himself. no knock on Nas that's my goat - pause.
at casinos? nah they gon pay if they don't wanna get finessed.
