"Down by the Yards" is the first episode of Road to Brooklyn, a new web series created for Jay-Z's YouTube channel. Directed by Paper Beautiful Person Danny Lee for Jay's Life + Times website, the clip takes a surprisingly un-biased look at the painful birth of Barclays Center -- the Brooklyn arena that's partly owned by the rap superstar. Lots of locals have their say, and it's not all a pat-on-the-back. Even PAPER's David Hershkovits -- born and raised in Brooklyn, yo -- puts in his 2-cents. Check it out.
