Here's something different: Clive Campbell (D.J. Kool Herc, who's also known as "the father of hip-hop) is suing Jay-Z, developer Bruce Ratner and Barclays Bank for $5 billion for "slavery reparations." Jay-Z is a co-owner of the Nets, which would play at the Barclays Center in Ratner's Atlantic Yards development. The suit says that Ratner, Jay-Z and Barclays are part of a "conspiracy dating back hundreds of years and continue to date to oppress Black people, enslave them, unlawfully deport them to all corners of the Earth."
