History
“songs that didn’t hit radio” are sometimes called “album tracks”. please make a note of it so that you will sound smart the next time.
I wish he would have included “You Must Love Me”, one of Jay’s best song.
i think ” i do it for hip hop” would have been dope too or atleast one of the nas collabs
Success is a collab with Nas. Pay attention
i do it for hip hop is a luda track

Listen man, Jay-Z is one the nicest niggas ever. But he needs to stop frontin’ like these songs have some deeper meaning that’s gonna be deciphered like the bible code or some shit. Nigga, these songs don’t got no deep meaning. You’re a ill MC, just be that, and stop trying to act like you’re some kind of abstract poet. This is obviously just a money-grab.
there are deeper meanings than most realize.. you may happen to be one that picked most of it up.. jay is going to clear it up, and if you’re honest, you’ll find that you didn’t know all of what the book will reveal.. the deeper story behind lyrics and who they were actually aimed at, instead of assumptions.. it is a money grab.. that’s what Businessmen do!
I don’t think he’s really “Decoding” the meaning of the songs in this book.. It’s more of what inspired the tracks.His mind set @ the time.
He a lil MC?? wow plz keep those comments to yourself…
word, this cat always trying to make himself seem bigger than he really is, Jay z is a straight up poser in all regards to the word. All the real people know
Then why you reading this article? You acting like you above this shit, but you still interested, and you probably gon go buy it too. It’s ok to be a fan, no one will judge you. Just enjoy it, thats why he is putting this out. It’s smart buisness, don’t be a hater, thats what females do
J.P., take your TJ Maxx stunner shades off and read my comment dummy. I AM a Jay fan. I just said he’s one the nicest MCs of all time. He’s also one of my favorite MCs of all time. But that doesn’t mean I have to blindly praise everything he does. I have enough of a brain to have objective opinions. That’s what ‘haters’ do, they think for themselves.
Wow you must wear them joints if you know exactly where to buy them. Relax all I said is, if you a fan buy the music bump it and move on. Music means different shit to different people. I ain’t about to get into a cyber war of words. You obviously like to be different, but then again that is the trend these days “thinker” for yourself
THIS HOMO JUST COPYING NAS, NAS GOTTA BOOK OUT THE SOME FUKN SCIENTIST WROTE THATS REAL SHIT NOW THIS HOMO GAY-Z BACK ON NAS DICK
I’m glad I ain’t the only cat to take notice, Jayz is a fucking biter
LOL, how long ago was it since Nas released it. What is it called I definitely need to check that out.

Damn, one of Jay’s best tracks.
Dam no dead presidents??
i would have love to hear what he had to say about dead presidents.
I’d like to hear what he has to say about “Regrets”. That’s my favorite Jay song. If you’ve ever lived the life or been through similar situations, that song really hits home.
And “Hell Yeah” I was surprised when I heard Dead Prez did a track with Jay, but that shit was dope.
