This is really cool, and truly a testament to the fact that you have to seize every opportunity that comes your way, because you never know what can happen. A 12-year-old boy by the name of Justin was near the front of Jay Z’s Magna Carta World Tour stop in Greensboro over the weekend, and he knew it was his one shot to be heard by one of the biggest names in music. “Can I rap for you?” Justin’s sign read. It was a long-shot, but if you never try, you’ll never know, right? Unbelievably, Jay picked Justin out of the crowd, and had him come up on stage to do his thing! Jay brought Justin up, and with pure confidence, he tells Jay, “I don’t need no music.” He went on to rap a verse from “Clique,” and then asked if he could go backstage…which Jay said ‘yes’ to as well! Even if nothing further comes out of this, that’s a memory to last a LIFETIME! Check out the video below.
