Jay Z may be atop the Empire State building and living large. But, like most of us, he once lived small. The big-time rapper/record producer/businessman was born as Shawn Carter in Brooklyn, NY. While growing up, he resided in a quaint 2 bed and 1.5 bath 10th floor apartment on State St. Now that he grew out of it by far, Jay-Z decided to revisit his old neighborhood. It’s reported that he was welcomed by the previous owners of the cozy 1,045 sq ft home and took a stroll down memory lane. During his little walk, he pointed out how his old hood changed. Lets hope that he wasn’t surprised!

The kitchen’s actually interestingly tucked into a corner of the living room, and is relatively small. Stainless steel appliances and island wooden table w/ marble countertop make up for the kitchen’s size. Other amenities include centralized air conditioning, mass transportation, and an LIRR terminal.
