NEWS ANALYSIS: In Jay-Z’s New Rap, Who Are the `dweebs’?
He’s `Still Keeping His Seats’ at Barclays
In his new song, “Open Letter,” 17-time Grammy winner Jay-Z, a longtime booster and part-owner of the Brooklyn Nets, addresses his having to sell his reported $4.5 million stake in the team so he can become certified as a player agent.
However, it’s not quite clear who he’s addressing in his song.
“Would have bought the Nets to Brooklyn for free, except I made millions off of you [expletive] dweebs, I still own the building, I’m still keeping my seats,” raps Jay-Z, who grew up in the Marcy Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant and went to Downtown Brooklyn’s George Westinghouse High School.
