Reviews
"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 in his youth, while at the same time deconstructing his lyrics."-Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times   "One of a handful of books that just about any hip hop fan should own."- The New Yorker "Elegantly designed, incisively written . . . an impressive leap by a man who has never been known for small steps."- Los Angeles Times   "A riveting exploration of Jay-Z's journey . . . So thoroughly engrossing, it reads like a good piece of cultural journalism."- The Boston Globe   "Shawn Carter's most honest airing of the experiences he drew on to create the mythic figure of Jay-Z . . .
