Rolling Stone reports Jay-Z will release Decoded, a book which “mixes first-person memoir with detailed discussions of his most famous and provocative lyrics” on November 16. The 336-page work is a collaboration between Jay and former Source magazine editor Dream Hampton, complete with rare interviews, illustrations and detailed explanations of some of the rapper’s more intricate lyrics.
“It’s called Decoded because it decodes all the lyrics from my records,” Jay-Z explained to V-103’s Ryan Cameron last July. “I’m gonna pick select ones…all the double-entendres and things that people may have missed or may have gotten and want confirmation on it.”
Decoded may presumably replace the long-proposed autobiography, The Black Book, which never hit shelves after Jay-Z’s 2003 retirement. Decoded will be released via the publishing company Spiegel & Grau.
Elliott Wilson stays losing. Bwahahahah.

Should be a good read.

has anyone got a link, for the book cover???
This should be an interesting read.
This site has bugs still DX, you click on an article and half the shit doesn’t load, the comment section is left out, the songs don’t play, etc.
Oh ya, your editor’s never proofread. SMH…
Ahhhh
To tell you the truth,it sounds interesting. I much rather would have seen a “Get Rich or Die Trying” Type of book or movie involving Jay-Z’s life story. I think he’s much more interesting as an artist, and has a much more interesting past than 50cent
