Chapter 273 Black Hip-Hop Superstar and Kanye

2001.

June 24th.

Today is the annual draft night for the NBA, one of the four major sports leagues in the United States.

The NBA Draft is an annual event for the NBA to select new players.

In the draft, all 30 NBA teams can select young male players who want to join the NBA.

The selected player is called an NBA Rookie.

All American players can automatically enter the NBA draft after they graduate from college, or they can declare for the draft between after they graduate from high school and when they complete college.

There are some restrictions on international players, but they can still participate in the NBA draft day.

After the regular season of each season, the NBA will conduct a lottery draw.

Participated by 14 teams that failed to qualify for the playoffs.

The specific rules of the lottery system are as follows: 14 small balls are labeled with the numbers 1 to 14 respectively and put into the rolling container.

If 4 number balls are randomly rolled out, regardless of the order of drawing, then 1001 different situations will occur.

Like the Houston Rockets, their "luck" is better this year.

Among these 1,001 situations, the No. 1 pick that is most beneficial to the Rockets was drawn.

That is, the first pick in the first round can be the first to pick the basketball player the team likes.

This year's NBA draft will be held at Madison Square Garden.

The draft was about to start, and there were already a sea of ​​people outside the arena, and the traffic was very congested.

A large number of NBA fans who bought or were given tickets for tonight are eager to see today's draft show.

Like many black people, the young black man Kanye West also accompanied his boss, the famous American superstar Jay-Z, a black man whose real name is Sean Corey Carter, to Madison Garden today.

square.

Different from ordinary fans.

Big-name stars like Sean Corey Carter came to watch the draft and bought the most expensive tickets, so they would have special access.

This passage is also the passage for players and staff to enter and exit on weekdays.

Usually when a competition is held, most reporters will wait outside this passage.

Because you can catch big fish and get enough big news.

Today is a special draft day.

Naturally, there are also many sports reporters and entertainment reporters here to photograph the entrance of NBA stars and entertainment stars.

Sean Corey Carter, Jay-Z's nanny car, just stopped at the door.

Many paparazzi reporters recognized the identity of this nanny van.

"Jay-Z is here!"

I don't know who shouted.

Soon, many reporters gathered around. They raised their cameras and microphones, wanting to interview this well-known hip-hop superstar.

The driver's cab and passenger compartment of the nanny car are opened.

Bodyguards and drivers came down and blocked the reporters outside.

Kanye West serves as music producer for Jay-Z's Roc-a-company.

Today he also acts as a temporary driver for his boss.

At this time, temporary bodyguards and another professional bodyguard naturally appeared, keeping the reporters outside with expressionless faces.

Jay-Z, the big boy in the car, waited until the situation outside stabilized before opening the door and getting out of the car.

As soon as the black hip-hop superstar got out of the car, the cameras in the hands of the reporters around him suddenly started flashing like crazy.

The light of the flash made the eyes of Kanye West, who was wearing black glasses, blurry.

Kanye West, who is 24 years old this year, is very envious of this.

Black youth especially hope that one day they can become a hip-hop superstar and have the glamorous treatment that Jay-Z has at this time.

Amidst the sound of cameras flashing.

Jay-Z got out of the car coolly and accepted interviews from reporters coolly.

The hip-hop superstar said a few simple words and took some photos along with it.

Then he was protected by bodyguards, assistants, and the company's music producer and temporary driver Kanye West.

Walk into the special passageway at Madison Square Garden.

When passing through the first line of security, Jay-Z's star team went very smoothly.

After just checking the tickets and looking at Jay-Z's star face, the security guards let them in.

This makes Kanye West jealous again.

Kanye also wants to have such a treatment. Just by swiping his face, he can pass through the VIP celebrity channel that ordinary fans cannot enter.

Kanye West couldn't help but clenched his fists, he really wanted such treatment.

He really wants to be famous and become a superstar.

Just Kanye West looking at Jay-Z.

Until now, the boss has not promised Kanye West or helped him release his album.

Kanye West already feels like he can't wait any longer.

I should probably leave Sean, he only sees me as a tool.

At Roc-a-Corporation, I had no chance of success.

Kanye West thought to himself.

But at this time, the star team was blocked by the second security procedure inside.

This security procedure requires body searches of Jay-Z and others.

"Hey~ Are your eyes broken? Guys, didn't you recognize that this is Jay-Z? I've never heard of people going through the VIP channel having to go through security checks!"

Jay-Z's manager Richard came out and said.

Jay-Z has a dark face and is in a bad mood. Even if he is in a good mood, his face is still dark.

This is a race-specific skin special effect that outsiders cannot envy.

But the staff of the second security procedure said expressionlessly:

"No matter who comes in today, they will be subject to a security check. This is the rule."

The agent became angry and wanted to speak.

Jay-Z had already become the boss and started his own company. Jay-Z, who already knew certain social risks, stopped the agent's move - this agent was a relative of Jay-Z and was also black.

"Gentlemen, I am Jay-Z. You may not know me and you may not have heard my songs. It doesn't matter. It is a matter of personal aesthetics. But I am a star and a public figure. I cannot accept body searches casually."

Jay-Z said: "This is not the first time I have watched the NBA draft. I have watched it four or five times, and every time I walked through the star aisle, I was never searched. But this time, I can think that you are...

Is it about me? Are you targeting black people? Gentlemen?"

"I'm sorry." Among the security personnel, a white bodyguard stood up.

"We didn't deliberately target anyone. Just now, Mr. Michael Jackson also entered through here. He also accepted our security check, but he didn't have as big a reaction as you."

Michael Jackson is here today too?

Several black people present were a little surprised.

Even though he has been somewhat quiet in recent years, the name MJ still plays an important role in the American entertainment industry.

Michael is top notch, no one can compare to him.

"Really?" Agent Richard was a little skeptical.

"I don't have to deceive you." The white bodyguard said, "You will know when you get in."

Jay-Z opened his mouth to say that Michael Jackson is also black, and you are targeting black people.

Before he could speak, at this moment, a tall black man who looked stronger than the average NBA athlete walked out.

The strong black man said to the white bodyguard: "Andrew, what happened?"

"Director Lincoln, this Mr. Jay-Z and his people are unwilling to cooperate with our security search." The white bodyguard said to the tall black man.

"Oh? Let's see who it is, Jay-Z, a hip-hop superstar."

Lincoln, who was extremely oppressive, walked out and stood in front of the tall Jay-Z and others, like a slightly smaller Shaquille O'Neal.

"No matter who it is today. Even if Anderson or Krueger comes, the two leaders of the Blood Gang and the Crip Gang will still be subject to our search! Jay-Z? Are you more ruthless than Anderson, or more ruthless than Krueger?
