Jay-Z was spotted in Brooklyn giving Oprah Winfrey a surprise tour of the Marcy Projects. The rapper gave the talk show queen a tour of his former home to promote his upcoming album “The Blueprint 3″. Last week Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West were shooting the music video for the song “Run This Town” in New York City. Check out the set pics. Kanye’s girlfriend Amber Rose was hanging out on the set during the shoot.
Jay-Z might not be in the project hallways all day anymore, like he rapped his recent hit “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune),” but the legendary MC returned to his old stomping grounds over the weekend at the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, New York.
There, Jay managed to turn a lazy Sunday into one of the most buzzed-about days in the borough this summer, when he showed up with famed talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Pictures of the two soon spread over the Internet on a number of blogs and Web sites. Rihanna reportedly was present as well.
Jay and Winfrey were on hand for a lengthy interview on the steps of his grandmother’s old building, his camp conformed to MTV News on Monday (August 10).
It’s safe to assume the discussion will be a part of a segment on Jay-Z for an upcoming Winfrey show: His long-awaited next LP, The Blueprint 3, is due in stores on September 11. The rapper will be on a heavy promotional run for the project, his first to be released on Roc Nation after Jay severed ties with his longtime recording home Def Jam earlier this year; he reportedly bought out his contract for upward of $ 5 million.
