If you told Jay-z in 1996, “You know you’re going to be on Forbes Magazine with Warren Buffet”. You think he would believe you? Or you think anyone would believe it? Nope they wouldn’t. Congratulations HOVA.

Can’t wait till November 8th!!!!
So if you didn’t know Jay-Z is putting out a book with former The Source editor Dream Hampton entitled Decoded.
Taken From Rolling Stone
…Decoded, a book published by Spiegel & Grau that mixes first-person memoir with detailed discussions of his most famous and provocative lyrics, will hit bookstores on November 16th, 2010. Jay-Z collaborated with former The Source editor Dream Hampton on the book, which includes interviews with Jay-Z’s family and friends as well as the rapper, himself. Over its 336 pages, Decoded will trace Jay-Z’s life from his childhood in Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects to his years as a teen drug dealer to becoming a hip-hop superstar. The hardcover, illustrated book will also explore Jay-Z’s creative process.
When Rolling Stone spoke to Jay-Z for their June issue he talked about why he was reluctant to release the autobiographical work, even though it was completed several years ago. “It’s too much. For the book, I was interviewed, people close to me were interviewed. So I was learning a lot of things I didn’t know as a child,” Jay-Z told RS. “It’s not anything I haven’t said in the past, in songs. It’s just more detailed. A song is three minutes long. A book doesn’t have to rhyme, and it has no time limit, so you can say exactly how everything went.”
Mike Epps and friends (Henry Welch, Lil’ G, Vanessa Fraction and Gary Owen) perform one of the funniest sets ever watched.

when I made my first record
I would say to myself
Im glad to share this
I don’t wanna just play for myself
The thing with rappin is
it helps me get away from myself
And put these thoughts and feelings out
So they don’t stay on the shelf
This beat was what I think first turned me onto production as a teenager. This track still knocks like whoa. Classic.
Sorry about the song quality!
Everyday we be off the chains, ain’t nuthin different, parkin’ lot pimpin

I think the biggest challenge twitter has is to show people how it’s different from facebook. I refused to sign up because I thought it was just like your facebook status and when I did sign up I didn’t really understand how to use it. I can say now I do see the value in twitter but it did take some time.
Do you have twitter? If you do what do you like about it? If you don’t have twitter why?

Watching the VMA’s is like night of drunken debauchery out on the town. You see a lot of people, hear a lot of loud music, and wake up the next morning with a collection of vague memories to share with your friends like souvenir tchotchkes. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, those new memories might even distract you long enough to soothe the brutal hangover you now sport.
Now that the fun is over and I’m left nursing my VMA hangover, a question remains: was the experience I gained worth it?
