Jay-Z was outside of 560 State Street yesterday, the address now known as his old “stash box.” The photo above was taken from the blog Inverted Soapbox, which says that Jay-Z is the person in the black jacket by the door. Upon inspection, it seems to me that Jay-Z is actually the person in the plaid shirt (arrow in the photo added by me). Who’s with me?
Inverted Soapbox: It’s a fuzzy picture from roommate Brittany’s phone, but that is indeed the stashing one in black jacket by the door. Britt says it looked like they were filming part of the video for “Empire State of Mind” there since they kept playing that one line about 560 State Street over and over and over again (loudly).
All this a week after BAM on the other side of the street hosted the VH1 Hip Hop honors. Forget Bed Stuy. Boerum Hill is now the most baller hip hop part of BK.
And how ’bout that MTV VMA performance:
Who cares. The album sucks.
Come on, Tom, celebrity is more important than anything. The quality of the album, or anything any celebrity actually does, is irrelevant. Celebrity is our religion, our politics, and our morality. It would be our sex too, if they didn’t have bodyguards who are usually so much bigger than us.
Oh good grief. That album does not suck and Empire State of Mind is a great tribute to the city. Haters need to chill.
BAM is in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
Yes it is . That’s an excerpt from another blog dude
