No sleep till Brooklyn: Jay-Z won't rest until Nets take over town

This weekend's Daily News article about Rapper/Nets owner Jay-Z (aka Sean Carter) was syndicated in today's San Jose Mercury News, giving the Nets extra mileage in their latest PR campaign.

Everything Jay-Z raps turns to platinum. And now the self-proclaimed "best rapper alive" hopes to have the same effect on the Nets, an organization that has been about as hip as Vanilla Ice.

NoLandGrab: Though Ratner and Jay-Z wouldn't reveal to the reporter the size of the rapper's ownership ("league sources say it is less than 5 percent"), our sources tell us it's more like 1.5%.
