Jay-Z Book Decoded

Decoded

 One of my Business Inspirations has decided to write a Book entitled 'Decoded' Its due for release November 16th 2010 featuring an image of Andy Warhol’s “Rorschach”. This illustrated book will “decode” 36 songs from Jay-Z’s catalog giving a deep intimate look into some of the Brooklyn rapper’s most notorious lyrics and melodies.

i am looking forward to this book because i appreciate the craft behind song writing, The lyrics can depict a situation or tell a story. Not saying that every song we hear is about the person who is singing it NO WAY.... Song writers usually express there inner most thoughts and feelings but they feel that another person can express how they feel and make there work come alive. I loved a rose that grew from Concrete from Tupac Shakur so i am excited about this book from Jay Z.

Heres a deeper insight to what is behind his thoughts:

With hopes of showcasing Hip Hop lyrics as poetry, with the release date of his first foray into the literary world looming closer, Jay-Z offered Billboard magazine an excerpt of his upcoming book, Decoded. Jay-Z offers his three-tiered reasoning for writing the memoir/lyric book, which shed further light on his choice for the book's artwork and his participation in a public reading at the New York Public Library.

Jay Z- Business Mogul

"I told my editor that I wanted it to do three important things," Jay-Z stated. "The first was to make the case that hip-hop lyrics-not just my lyrics, but those of every great MC-are poetry if you look at them closely enough."

Random House, the publisher of Decoded, will reportedly offer eBook and interactive iPhone/iPad versions which include content users can customize. An image of the Decoded cover as well as Jay-Z's full excerpt explaining his motivations for writing the book are available in Billboard's full story.
