He had to leave some niggas to get to where he's at. He came from a pissy apartment in Marcy to a Penthouse Suite overlooking Central Park. That's inspiring. No matter how many threads yall make up, no matter how many times yall say how Jay is no longer respected, no matter how many posts yall make about sh*t that happened 5 years ago, nothing will change. LET IT GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I read the Book. Its as inspiring as Russell's "Do You". I love inspirational books from urban business leaders. Its easier to connect with that story of triumph rather than a story from Dr. Phil. In Decoded, he doesn't go into some wild gangsta story about taking over cities & states. Its just a story of a kid from Brooklyn falling in love with Rap ----> Going out of state to Trenton, Virginia & Washington, DC flipping work (which isn't that hard to believe) ---> Coming back & forth to NYC to meet Dame ---> Starting Rocafella Records ---> Bonding with Big ---> Dealing with Success when you still feel like the Broke muthafucka from Marcy inside.
Read the book before you hate.
Great post, I feel the same way. It's inspiring seeing any young Black man go from the hood to being more or less on top of the world. Jay-Z's talent makes me fascinated in any view he might have on life.
