Jay-Z shocks New Yorkers with public transportation ride ! (Article+Video)

#AMPtv got the word that Rap mogul Jay-Z may be one of Forbes' biggest hip-hop money-makers, however, the New York native showed he is not too big for public transportation by taking the subway to his final Barclays Center concert.

Photos and reports of Jay's one-stop weekend ride to Brooklyn hit the Internet early Monday (October 8).

R you going my way? Rapper Jay-Z had subway riders gawking in New York on Saturday as he took the R train from Manhattan to Brooklyn for the last of eight shows at the new Barclays Center. If the stadium takes off, it deserves to be known as the House that H.O.V.A. built. The Brooklyn born-and-bred hip-hop prince arrived for his concert via public transportation escorted by police and other security personnel, and waiting fans swooned for the man who has become the public face for the new home of the Nets, even though he owns only one-fifteenth of one percent of the team.

According to reports, Jay-Z hopped on the train from lower Manhattan.

The move had many New Yorkers startled by the sight of the rap mogul standing on the subway platform at Canal Street, riding to the Atlantic Avenue/Barclays Center stop--yes, the subway stop even has a new name, partly thanks to his efforts. While Jay-Z owns just 0.067 percent of the Nets and less than 0.2 percent of the Barclays Center, he has put his stamp on the new space more than any other figure--and probably more than any musician has ever connected himself to an arena.
