Jay-Z has shared his experience of New York's subway system in a new online documentary film, which shows him chatting with an old lady on his way to a show in Brooklyn.

The woman, who introduces herself as Ellen, asks Jay-Z what he does for a living and he replies, "I make music... (I'm) not very famous, you don't know me. I'll get there some day... I'm on my way to a performance in Brooklyn at the new Brooklyn arena."

Ellen tells the star, "Oh, that's fabulous... And you are going by subway? I'm proud of you."

She then asks him to repeat his name, and adds, "Oh! You're Jay-Z? I know about Jay-Z."

The film, posted on YouTube.com, also shows Jay-Z rehearsing for his shows and hanging out with his wife, Beyonce, backstage.
