Jay-Z To Welcome Brooklyn Nets With Eight-Show Concert Series

    In addition to announcing the team’s new name as Brooklyn Nets, Jay-Z will headline a series of shows at Brooklyn, New York’s new arena that opens next fall.

    According to NYDN, Hov, who’s a part-owner in the basketball team, will perform the shows at the Barclays Center, which will open on September 28, 2012. Sources say that Beyonce, who will have given birth to their first child, will appear at one of the shows, while special performers will grace the stage at others.

    The Brooklyn, New York rapper will appear this morning with developer Bruce Ratner and Borough President Marty Markowitz to announce the details of the shows at the Prospect Heights construction site.

    “I’m going to open the building with a couple of concerts… maybe like eight,” he told MyFoxNY, also explaining the name change. “You know what it is, it’s deep love. Biggie had a line ‘spread love that’s the Brooklyn way. It’s a deep love we have for our heroes. We walk around with that.”

      1. if game done,then rappers should just go find another thing to do, cause 100K first week is what most decent rappers these days gonna get.. goin gold is special now haha.

      2. To person above me…

        Sales only matter when your marketing budget is really high like Wayne, 50, Eminem and Jay.

        Out of all those guys you named only The Games budget is high which would mean he would have to sell total 500k to recoup. The others don’t have budgets and some are independent meaning 100k sold is actually amazing.

    1. Brooklyn Nets…smh.. Different name and they’ll still suck…. Why is it made to seem like he owns 50 percent of the team, cuz last time I read he owned like 1.5 or a lil more or less…lol… Unless you are Michael Jordan who is majority owner, which is something to brag about. Obviously they’re just using jayz’s celebrity status though.. I’d rather own part of the Bulls and Celtics…..

      1. Its true ya boy Hov doesnt have that much ownership in the team if he even has ownership at all. Someone is being used as a tool in this situation. So haaaaaaaaaa that!!!

      2. I fail to see how he is being used as a tool. He has invested into a sports team that is now located in the number one money making state. Look at the Knicks, they lose every year and are still valued as the number on NBA team because they can sell out games regardless of wins or losses.

        At the end of the day the Brooklyn/New Jersey Nets just made the smartest move in the NBA. I bet this team might not win but just like the Knicks will see a great jump in profits. Smart move

      3. lol…I knew my comment would cauze his stans to get up off their moms couch… I’m gonna be driving a Jag and the new Chrysler 300, how about you dumb fuck….smh…

        I honestly don’t give a fuck what anyone says or thinks on here…. I spoke my piece and was just telling the truth..end of story….

    3. whA BOUT HIS toughts bout troy davis?oh sorry he cant think,,,,he just obey to his masters….fukin joke..do yall think we as blask people just beacause we can have millions we ok in dis white supremacy world???everybody can have money but power is a diff thing….fuk him…

      1. Why should Jay even comment on Troy Davis? Did he personally know him? I doubt it. Is Jay-Z even into race relations? I doubt it. Just because someone is in the spotlight doesn’t mean they have to comment on everything going on in this world. At the end of the day he is a rapper/entertainer and thats all he does.

      2. @ Anonymous. Tell em. Jay-Z is a “good-boy”, a “token”, that’s all. People need to look to the real for inspiration, not that tack clown.

    4. The hate in here is disgusting. We now have two teams. More than most states. This man is making power moves & opening up doors that haven’t been open for certain people. I respect his movement. Now we have conspiracy theories as another tool to prevent us from supporting our own. Cut it out children.

      1. What conspiracy theories Keezie?? Do you even know what a Conspiracy is?? If you did than you would understand what is going on…. We aren’t knocking his success, people are just pointing out the fact that JAYZ is a complete Satanist, who is a self indulged prick. He is a Warlock/male witch… I know it’s hard to believe… But you cant deny the facts… proof’s right in front of your eyes….

    5. Nothing but white supremacist and sellout jiggaboo negroes hating on a black in here AS EXPECTED. Burn baby burn. You will forever loose.

      1. Stop. Now, if you speak the truth, you’re hatin. Thats how the lames in the game are surviving now. Jay-Z is an eliist. I don’t look up to people who sell out their brothers for a connect or a few millions.

    6. kids shouldnt grow up to be like obama they should be like jay z. this is one smart nigga literally all he does is win. i wish i had some of the thoughts he had haha.

      1. Jay-Z is a egotistical prat. Kids should grow up and be themselves, not someone who weasled and nut-hugged(DeHaven,Jaz-O,Nas,Big,Dame,StateProp,etc) their way through the ranks. Make your own path and be honest but clever not a snake.

    7. to all the people making hater comments dont respond to them. if you could check the comments they make all of them are probably negative

    8. J is a figure head for the nets . Guess they figured with him as the face there wouldn’t have too much backlash to the gentrification and eminit domain issues they were having in building the barclay center .

      1. bingo! how many other “part owners” do you see all over the media talking about performing and making appearances about the Nets? ppl dont use their brains anymore, they just take what they are told like the media owes them the truth or something lol.
        jay-z is a salesman for a crappy dinner…helps it go down easy for the dummies…dude doesn’t own jackshit in the nets relatively

    9. Bunch of broke ass haters, cars all prob at least 3-4 years old, over 18 still at moms crib, making 12-20 stacks a year,,, maybe if y’all hatin fags even work, non bitch having bitches, think Jay-z care how bad the nets are or even stay? CLOWNS, Watch The Throne, “The Nets could go 0-82 and i look at you like this shit gravy” BALL SO HARD this shit as fun to him as it is to all y’all that jus sittin on here hatin, CLOWNS GET YA WIEGHT UP
