Next Up: Jay Z's "Decoded"

I'm not even gonna lie; I don't know much about Jay-Z and can only name a handful of his songs. I've heard he's a talented maverick, a dark 'Illuminati' devotee and everything in between. I like that I get to "pick his brain" and that this book is not the typical run-of-the-mill biographical sketch. I hear that it's essays, or social commentary. He has a cult-like following, for sure. Chances are, I won't become a fan. But once I read this book I look forward to having something thoughtful to say when he comes up in conversation.

Here's a video about his "Decoded" project:

  1. He has definately arrested my attention by saying "Ppl say you've changed, like you work hard at staying the same." I must start reading soon.
