Nobody cooler than Jay in the game...
It's funny, despite what he says, I'm still posting it. Gotta love the media.
Oh and the above picture is actually the cover of the re released, paperback version of his Decoded... Set to hit November 1st as a paperback, nonetheless. Apparently this version will contain a new chapter, seven additional illustrations, three songs: “I Know”, “Young Gz”, “Lost One” and a new afterword...how ILL is that?
What still excites me about rap is that it’s an open thread, a cipher that listeners find their own meanings in. The point of this book is not to settle arguments or transform rap songs into neat stories with a beginning, middle, and end. Rather, I’m trying to point readers to some ideas and information, get them to see deeper into the music than they saw before and learn more about worlds different from their own (or find new ways of looking at the worlds they already know)—to find their own meanings and connect them back to their own lives. I want readers to see the craft and learn the context—and I want them to still be able to feel the magic, and enjoy the show.
—JAY-Z, from the new Afterword
