HOT CONTEST - BILLBOARD @BILLBOARD JAY Z @JAYZ WANTS YOU TO TAKE THE "MARCY CHALLENGE"

Jay-Z has been a proud New Yorker since back in the day when he was just Shawn Carter, an aspiring rapper coming up in the Marcy Houses in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. Now the hip-hop superstar, No. 1 New York sports fan and all-around business mogul (founder of Rocawear, among many other ventures) is among those responsible for bringing a new landmark to his native Brooklyn: the Barclays Center. The arena, which opens in September, will be the home of the newly renamed Brooklyn Nets (which counts Hova as a part-owner) and already has a huge slate of world-class concerts scheduled, led-off by Jay-Z headlining an amazing eight-gig run.

Billboard wants YOU, the biggest Jay-Z fans around, to win the three different, big Rocawear, Jay-Z ticket- and Nets ticket- packages we've put together to celebrate. Billboard will be giving them away in three rounds throughout August and all you've got to do is answer some questions for your chance to win! Ready? Watch the Jay-Z Rocawear video on their site, answer the questionaire, and fill in your contact information by August 7 to enter round one. The prize this time? A bounty of Rocawear! And come back Aug. 8 for round two.  GOOD LUCK
