STR8 MOGULIN’: JAY-Z ON DECODED…”RAP IS POETRY”

When Jay-Z released his book “Decoded”, most people wondered “why?” Check out this never before seen footage of Hov talking about the meaning behind the book and rap being looked as poetry.
“Some of the things Biggie wrote,” says Jay-Z, “if you take those lyrics and pull them away from music and put them up on the wall, someone will say, ‘This is genius…this is genius work.’”


If you haven’t done so yet, be sure to cop Decoded …makes for a great gift and coffee table read.

  • Thank you Jay-Z, this is the same thing I’ve been saying about Rihanna’s song “Man Down”. Stop looking at the video and listen to the words.

  • Why does rap need to be DEcoded? Country, Rock,Heavy Metal, and Classical Music are only Decoded in College or to a Music Major. I you donot understand find out like you did in the 80s and 90s before GOOGLE if you dare.
