Second Jay-Z Book in the Works, ‘Empire State of Mind: How Jay-Z Went From Street Corner to Corner Office.’
I love Jay-Z dearly, but the last thing I need from him for another 10 years is another damn book. Decoded is absolutely enough for me, but apparently not for everyone else.

Penguin Group has announced that they’ll be releasing a Jay-Z bio in March, called ‘Empire State of Mind: How Jay-Z Went From Street Corner to Corner Office.’ Unlike Decoded, the book will provide outside perspectives on Jay with interviews from Damon Dash, DJ Clark Kent and Questlove. The book is scheduled to be released in March 2011.

yaaaaaay
Decoded to me gave me almost the same feeling when Obama was inaugurated. It showed me and millions like me, and like Jay Z that there IS hope coming from the unfortunate situataions the youth has to deal with and manage when being a product of your environment, meaning being from the “ghetto/hood”. Some struggle, some drown from the pointing fingers and that very small few that land on level ground we rarely hear from or ABOUT. Inspiration and hope breeds success. We as in Us needed this Jay. The albums spoke volumes, but the book takes it to a new untouched level. Thanks bro,
