Jay-Z visits 560 State Street

[@eagleeye8916]

I used to live on 371 state st and owned the bogeda on the corner of bond and state. I remember Jay before he was famous . He would buy roll ups and hero sandwiches late at night . I remember his cousin and him with the polo ,Hilfiger and gold chains . What a flash back ,he blew up big !

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.

[@DialloMoore503]

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.
