@@jayc4715 basically a corner store / grocery. Usually minority owner and has a Bodega Cat (Cat that lives in the store and earns its keep by killing mice and other pests that could eat the produce)
Jay Z is one of the coolest, most talented, creative, down to earth and amazing people to ever walk the earth. Gosh to just sit down and speak to him one on one would be absolutely amazing. Keep pushing HOV you are truly the real deal.
The story is good but its sucks because its gentrified and blacks are too marginalized to afford the next cost of living. Anyways the Russian owner didn't hesitate and need Jay to persuade the people to sale so his 2/3 of 1 percent stake in the Russian company would flip and be sold out of partnership.
Did y’all hear what he said? “I knew something wasn’t right about the things that we were doing. My conscience was very alive.” He made the choice to go legit and leave the street life. How can you not respect that? Many drug dealers would get locked up, only to go back to doing the same exact thing when they got out-not learning anything. Jay was a smart one. #Inspiring EDIT: Thanks for the likes and constructive dialogue. Y’all please STAY SAFE and God bless.
Yea I lived in 560 state street in 1989 when I was selling kilos in BK.I also owned the store around the corner called PRO LINE.Those was the good old days.Way before Jay Z
I just cryed and cryed and cryed when watching this clip, the struggle the grind , the mental emotions, it's all real. All what we can to go thru...this building is symbolic to his life. DEEP AND RELEVANT... From ageuk60....
what's up kurt!!!...mike williams from 10A. then 7A!!!...just wanna give you and others a HOLLA!...560 State was smooth...miss our peoples...i have a few cool stories with Red Hot Lover Tone...lol...let's connect!!...peace.
If you followed Hov from the beginning you'd know why guys with average beginnings relate to his bars. They are inspirational.... "I came into this m'fuker 100 grand strong"
Jay Z is a true dude people can relate to he talks about his trials and tribulations his passion for music even though he comes from the streets he doesn't forgets his blessings and gives back to his community.
I CAN REMEMBER WALKING ON STATE STREET BACK IN 1996 THERE USED TO BE THIS MOM AND POP SHOP RIGHT ACROSS FROM 560... I GOT MY 1ST NY T-SHIRT THAT I TOOK BACK TO ATL TO SHOW I WAS IN NY. 🤣🤣🤣
I’m born and from New Orleans but New York is an amazing city. Wish I could’ve experienced the New York in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, just the aesthetics of then old buildings, the 5 families of the Italian Mafia, Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z, Mobb Deep, The Lox, Diddy and a lot more just naming a few. Just a unique place. So many famous and unique people came from NYC. The city that never sleeps. Love New York and its long history 🗽♥️
Damn I have been waiting for more introspection from HOV. I am from this era and mindset so I know how surreal things can be even on his level when looking back over his footsteps. More please.
It’s not what one use to do, it’s to brake away and make positive decisions transforming your life from the past to present, so now you can say “ I’ve been there” but I stepped out to step up.
Big up 560 State Street where mental dreams brought upon nuff food fi deh general to eat love respect and understanding to make in NYC and make it out is a true blessing like Raindrops that's why the hustle can't be stopped screaming Can I Live!!!!!
“Flew him back to the States, park 92 bricks in front of 560 State Now the Nets a stone throw from where I used to throw bricks So it's only right I'm still tossing ‘round Knicks” -PROLOFIC Words by The 🐐 HOV
No it didn't. Everybody slept on Reasonable Doubt didn't really appreciate it til the second one came out so I stretched the game out x-ed ya name out put jigga on top And drop albums non-stop for ya. Y'all ain't been listening. He said I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars You criticize me for it, but you still yell holla But I agree Reasonable Doubt should have changed everything
This is why Jay is my favorite musician and why I am inspired by his work and I would like to meet him one day when I get my bread up. Keep doing yo thing G!!!! God bless you and your family... Amen
This lady back when i wass young always wass tryin to tell me 2 jame yo music #all yo blue printz and more yo music and words are powerful really i didnt see till 28 but love you #KingJ Much Respect And Love♠
I remember those days we have fun up there all bosses of us up there that time I miss them days we used to be up there shout out to Lord Jamar and Jay-Z damn way back
Jay z I was listening to reasonable doubt back in Minden Louisiana when nobody knew who you were. I respect your hustle because of you I just bought my first home I want to generate wealth for not just my son but my sons son son. You are very intelligent the ultimate most humblest hustler I've ever seen! Your name will go down in history brother for real thank you for so much Game!
till the day i die i wont forget where i was from flatbush avenue brooklyn new york i love that place all the people from there shaped me to be who i am now ye i might not have smoke weed or vaped or hanged out on the streets like some of my friends who thought it was cool to vape and do drugs i chose a better thing to do focus on my books and help my mother but new york is home
3:20 to the end he relived his whole life you seen it by the time he was done naming the albums he felt it again like damn I’m really here. That’s dope
Let me start off by saying.......it's nothing wrong with being young but.........in the 80's &90's it was soooooo much fun. PLENTY of money & drugs! I'm from Baltimore btw!😁😂🤣
I would have fell to my death that close to the edge. I am afraid of heights. I love Jay though. We watched him grow up over the years and he didn't try to hide anything. He always kept it real the good and the bad. Now he has a beautiful family and he living right. CONGRATULATIONS
Been looking for this. Should get part where he goes to the room he lived in and meets the new people living there. Including the part where he tries to make the baby laugh. Thanks for this video tho. Been looking for it.
The mindset of a very wise man... I respect Hov and I am not only talking about his music. His music is his way to pass this knowledge and mindset to the people. But I respect him as a human being. He is the perfect example of being in one with your time and self-conscious. Everything you go trough your life happens only at the right time for it. You only have to be ready for that, you've got to prepare for it. Stay out of trouble ya'll and keep working everyday for your dreams! This man right here is the true example of how YES, YOU CAN DO IT! God bless you all!
He's nothing short of amazing. So fucking talented and just down to earth. Its easy to see why Beyoncé is in love with him. You can tell he has a huge heart.
I'm from Bed Stuy and just living in that area alone makes you feel like you came up. 560 State st....Dumbo & The Promenade...yep that's a whole different world to girl from the hood.

How can you not be motivated by this man?
Exactly so many people hate on Hov for abnormal reasons I don't get it to this day.
I been listening to Jay since middle school. Im 36 years old now. He has one of the biggest influence on me .
Me too. I've been following his blueprint on the low my entire life.
