If you have a pulse you need this book. I cracked it open on a plane last week and I couldn’t put it down. It’s hard to even explain what the book is all about because it embodies everything Jay-Z. He is Sean Carter, Jay-Z, a Forbes Lister, and in this book he explains his life and his lyrics by unwrapping his metaphors and inspiration.
It’s a great book to read and it also shows swagger. Put this book on your coffee table and watch what kind of reactions you get from your fellow Jay-Z enthusiasts and those who just know the name and the jams.
If print isn’t your style be sure to be on the look out for the Jay-Z Decoded iPhone and iPad app coming soon.
