According to Rolling Stone, Decoded – a book published by Spiegel & Grau that mixes Jay-Z’s first-person memoir, with detailed discussions of his most famous and provocative lyrics – will hit bookstores on November 16th, 2010. You don’t understand how happy this news makes me!
I’ve been waiting and wondering about this book since it was first previewed in the booklet for the Black Album. And when I asked around about it a few years ago, and found out that Jay canceled it, because he was uncomfortable with how open it it was, I was very disappointed, but still held hope. In fact, the concept of the book kinda spawned the inspiration for my Music Association blog segment.
Trust, this will be copped.
Props to Nah, Right.
