Jay-Z Celebrates 10 Years Of Rocawear With Spike Lee-Directed Ad
“It’s a 10-year anniversary for Rocawear this year,” said Hov, sitting in a throne-like seat in Brooklyn, New York. He was taking a break from filming with fellow Brooklynite Spike Lee. “We’re shooting the commercial. The commercial is about Rocawear, what we meant to the culture. The aspiration to maintain and be around for 10 years.”
Jay explained the ad’s fantasy concept. “So this guy, he’s in advertisement, and he’s in Rocawear, and he goes through the day as if he’s Jay-Z,” Hov said of the concept. “He looks out the window, in his mind — because he’s aspiring to make his own Rocawear — there’s a group of people outside and they’re waving to him. As he walks away, realty sets in. Someone looks out the window, and no one’s out there. He gets on the elevator, and he’s thinking people are asking him for autographs; no one’s there. He’s on his way to building his empire, but he has Rocawear on, and that’s a start. So he feels as if he’s successful already.”

Blueprint 3 Album Art & Track List
Tracklist
a note from drake
This bottle of Opus One is low but my spirits are high my friends. I am about 2 hours away from Toronto, CA where I will be spending the next chunk of time recovering from a surgery that I now must have. I embarked on this tour with a torn ACL, MCL, and LCL and due to the events that happened the other night lord only knows what other damage I have done. On the bright side I will begin the reflecting and soul searching that its going to take to make this album and my outfit on the night I fell was crack. I will forever push myself beyond the limits despite advice and recommendations given because even with this new found success I am still the kid who wanted this more than anything in the world. Its funny when I read comments from previous fans who have lost interest because of the radio play and exposure I have. I just want to assure anyone reading that nothing has changed on my end. I refuse to get comfortable, I refuse to fall in line and follow anyone elses formulas. I still work as if So Far Gone had never dropped and I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to gain entry to this game.
“Missing someone gets easier everyday. Because, even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you will”
See you soon.
