What happens when one of the planet's biggest?music moguls goes underground and takes the subway to work? When that mogul is rapper Jay-Z, the trip ends up being recorded and the video is blasted on the Internet.
Prior to performing his eighth and final show at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn on?Saturday, Jay-Z was spotted at the Canal Street Station catching the R train to the borough.?
The rapper (whose name happens to be inspired by the J-M-Z subway line) exited at the Atlantic Ave/Barclays Center stop and walked into the new home of the NBA's Nets for his show.

Snippets throughout the trip are shown in the attached YouTube video -- and it's?slightly harrowing. Unlike celebrities who might have gone unnoticed on the train (if not for this Tumblr blog), Jay-Z is surrounded by bodyguards and?is quickly recognized. No one appears shy in his presence and the video shows plenty of camera-phone flashes. People don't hesitate to shout, "Jay what are you doing here?" and, "Brooooook-lyn!"
