It’s undoubtedly that Jay-Z also known as Sean Carter has come a long ways since growing up in Marcy Projects in Brooklyn. As he’ll tell you in this extended version of his Rocawear commercial, he’s actually went from ‘Marcy to Barclay’s’ growing up in the lowest of the low, overcoming it, to now be part owner of the Brooklyn Nets. He also discusses his upbringing, his environment, and how it helped shape who he is, and what he’s done.
