" The shadowy bench lined inner pathways that connected the twenty seven six story buildings of Marcy Houses were like tunnels we kids burrowed through. Housing projects can seem like labyrinths to outsiders, as complicated and intimidating as a moroccan bazaar" Jay Z uses this to describe where he grew up and the confusion non locals might feel. Too them these projects were a simple connection of pathways, but to an outsider, Marcy was a confusing and scary place to wander. In the world i live in today i'm confident Jay Z would thrive in the life i lead. Under more intense circumstances he was able to grow into a top rap mogul and partial owner of a basketball. In terms of the future, he would handle the future with optimism. Jay Z is an intelligent man who thinks past himself and for the betterment of others. As time continues to pass he will adapt and help change the rap culture.
