Dang! This vintage photo of a Jay-Z doppelganger is insane. The New York Public Library posted via their TUMBLR a Sid Grossman photo of “Harlem Loiterers”. Without a doubt, the man in this photo looks identical to Jay-Z. Not to mention, Harlem’s not that far from Brooklyn (where our Jay-Z of today is from). Perhaps moneybags, Jay-Z commissioned a scientist to build him a time-machine and has been teleporting between the future, today and year’s past. It would surely explain a lot of his musical genius and innovation — and it starts to make sense with his 2007 LP, American Gangster with tracks such as “American Dreamin'”, “Blue Magic” and the title-track itself. Makes you wonder…
So does this mean Jay-Z is a time-traveler? Or perhaps a vampire that will live on for many many years to come. What are your crazy thoughts?
