I know you all are gonna jump on that Illuminati stuff because you have no idea what this is all about, but it’s actually quite an impressing book. You really get absorbed with the book. Now… that doesn’t surprise me, it surely is a good book because it’s a 336 page book that is part memoir, part analysis of Jay-Z his lyrics. But the most interesting part of this book is that Jay-Z not only analysis his lyrics but also tells about their true meanings that together tell the story of a culture, an art form, a moment in history of the most provocative and successful artists of our time. Jay-Z’s tale jumps back and forth between snapshots of his days hustling crack in his New York hood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, his first recording experiments, his success in the fashion and becoming the successful businessman he is today. But then I have to quote one of his famous lyrics: I’m not a Businessman, I’m a Business, MAN!

Will this book get the honor of being the first Jay-Z book selected by Oprah for her book club, lets see, LOL. It can be hard to find this book in the shops but here is a link where you might succeed.
