Book Overview

Decoded is a book like no other: a collection of lyrics and their meanings that together tell the story of a culture, an art form, a moment in history, and one of the most provocative and successful artists of our time. Praise for Decoded "Compelling . . . provocative, evocative . . . Part autobiography, part lavishly illustrated commentary on the author's own work, Decoded gives the reader a harrowing portrait of the rough worlds Jay-Z navigated...

Worth your time

Hov is introspective and engaging throughout “Decoded”. The lyric breakdowns are insightful. Highly recommend the book.

Hov doesn’t miss

This was a great time to read. Not only did it provide another level of understanding to his genius lyrics, but it gave alot context to the times and events that inspired such ideas. The book underscored how the art imitated life and vice versa. Listening to the songs as I read the lyrics translations was a beautiful experience and I’m a smarter individual on the other side of the pages.

What I've been looking for!

I am not finished this book yet, but this is the 3rd book I've read on Jay Z. What I like about this book is: the words you are reading are coming from Jay Z himself. It's not coming from someone that has interviewed Jay Z or someone close to Jay Z or even someone that has critiqued Jay Z's work and the way he operates. This book is definitely for Jay Z fans!
