Where I'm From (Jay-Z Barclays Documentary)


Jay Z has been constantly named one of the best rappers alive, and become something much more than just a musician. He has surpassed many rappers by becoming both an american icon while being a wealthy businessman. He is one of the great stories about a young black boy living in the projects who turned his dreams into fruition. 


His recent partial ownership with the newly developed Brooklyn Nets basketball team had the whole city of Brooklyn excited. Also with the construction of the new Barclay's Center, home for the Nets, a new 24 minute documentary has surfaced in which it follows Jay and his journey; form the walk around of the construction for the center, to his last show in where he performed for all of Brooklyn. It takes all of the behind the scenes and shows how much creative control Jay actually. It really makes me happy to see one of my favorite rappers shine in something such as creative an opporutniy for his community and giving back.
