Jay-Z is known for his chart topping hits and pioneering work in Hip Hop. He recently had a bit of an ego check.
The Hip Hop mogul was riding the subway during the taping of a short documentary entitled "Life and Times" where Jay- Z shares his involvement in the building of the Barclays Center. Jay-Z is riding the subway to his eighth and final performance at the arena.
Jay-Z sits next to an adorable elderly woman commuter and soon a conversation is struck.
Ellen, his new riding buddy, is oblivioius to who the Hip Hop tycoon is but is still very friendly.
I guess Ms. Ellen does not follow the misogynistic images and pervasive use of the Nword found in most popular artist...LOL
The following is a transcript from their brief exchange. You can also see the documentary below:
Ellen: Are you famous?
Jay: Yes. Not very famous, you don't know me.
Ellen: I don't know you, but...
Jay: But I'll get there some day.
Jay: My name is Jay. What's your name?
Ellen: Ellen. What do you do?
Jay: I make music.
Ellen: Did you just do a performance?
Jay: I'm on my way to the performance at the new Brooklyn arena.
Ellen: Oh, fabulous!
Jay: I performed eight shows, actually... This is the last show.
Ellen: And you're going by subway?
Jay: Yes.
Ellen: I'm proud of you. Say your name again, just so I get it.
Jay: Jay. Jay Z
Ellen: Oh, you're Jay-Z! I know about Jay-Z.
