Jay-Z returned home for the grand opening of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, last night. 18,000 fans turned out to throw up their diamond signs in the house Hov (partially) built. The first verses to flow, were from his anthem, “Where I’m From.” In a black Brooklyn Nets jersey and fitted Hov proudly proclaimed: “Nothing feels like tonight, Brooklyn. I swear to God.”
