he took the subway because Barclays has made traffic impossible now.
Posted by Anonymous | October 8, 2012 1:43 PM
He took the subway to try to act like he is "a regular dude" and not a 1% asshole. (which he is)
Posted by Anonymous | October 8, 2012 1:52 PM
1:52 nailed it

enough of this black asshole. seriously. Just proved how stupid Brooklyn is that this no-talent fuck is celebrated.
Posted by Anonymous | October 8, 2012 1:59 PM
is he a black asshole, or just an asshole? there's a difference, right? idiot.

99% assholes need to take their ass backwards loser worldview to Oakland and leave Brooklyn alone. This city is not for you! This is a winner city, we value achievement.

He is thinking, "Note to self: get a taxi next time."
Posted by Steve | October 8, 2012 2:21 PM
Hope those people are really happy that they got a picture of Jay-Z. Hope they posted it to their facebook really fast to make all of their friends jealous. It will no doubt be the high-lite of their year.

Beyonce also took the subway. She had Blue Ivy in the carriage, taking up WAY too much space in the middle of the car right by the door.

1:59 - I'm not even a huge fan but Jay Z could literally buy and sell your racist ass idiot.
Posted by Anonymous | October 8, 2012 2:41 PM
Jay-Z's lyrics are good about 1% of the time.

how much security were they rollin with?

Jay-z is a regular person, just like us

His Maybach was in the shop, and he couldn't just take his jet across the river.

Common guys enough with the racist stuff. Besides, if Mitt Romney was on the train, i'm sure you'd be running after him for a photo. LMAO

Apparently, Jay Z not only has a white wife, but also white bodyguards.
Posted by Anonymous | October 8, 2012 3:53 PM
Jay-Z has a cult following.
They follow him like a cult.
He can’t even walk down the street in Brooklyn.

2:41...because that's what defines a man, the ability to buy and sell people...like slavery? Fight the power, 2:41!

Would be nice if celebrities like him could take public transportation like that. But obnoxious dipshits like the ones here are the reason why you hardly ever see celebrities in the city, despite there being a huge concentration of them.

No WAY Jay is in the 1%. Do you know how rich the 1% is!?!?!?!? It is all white collar people making millions. He is top 5% best, and probably barely top 10% in NYC (where tons of rich people live . . . I know because I live there)>
Posted by Anonymous | October 8, 2012 4:36 PM
3:24 and 3:52, they both nailed it!!
Posted by Anonymous | October 8, 2012 4:36 PM
4:36 you're out of your minds. All that OWS is retarded, but if you don't think jay-Z and his wife are in the top 1% of wealthy people in NYC, you need to think harder. You really think there are 80,000 other NYers wealthier than Jay-Z and Beyonce? Haha, you're an idiot.

Jay Z should start a grape soda company like the way 50 Cent has his own brand of Vitamin water. (which is the grape flavored one)
