Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.DotJay-Z Debuts On Best Seller List

Man, he told ya it would be a best seller. For the week of Dec. 5th, Jay-Z’s memoir Decoded debuts at number three on the New York Times Best Seller, hardcover non fiction list. He trails Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken and George Bush’s Decision Points.
On a related front, dream hampton sounds off about her role with the project.
I’m am NOT mad Jay isn’t yappin about me in friggin interviews. Being famous is corny, I feel sorry for my famous friends. …and 90% of real media, including the Wall Street Journal & NY Times, writes, in English, aby my contribution…..so yeah. that was exhausting. I can’t imagine being an actual celebrity in this age of persistent identity. #nobueno

^ lol why wud i need to write a book?
Congratulations Jay. First book I’ve been able to finish in years.
The way some of you mfs talk yall make it seem like you aint in your mommas basement and having escargot for dinner. Yall need to chill with that flop nonsense, because dude is probably gonna take that money he made off his book and greatest hits to buy a yacht or something. Don’t talk like yall are big balling or doing something productive!
Congratulations to the GOAT.
To those saying Jay Z’s greatest hits flopped. What you don’t know is that Jay made a deal to buy back all his masters by 2014. The greatest Hits CD is just a way for Def Jam to
Make some cake off it before that day reaches. Jay didn’t really promote it.
This is a great achievement. Salute Dream Hampton Salute Jay.
A yacht?! Heh, good lawd. Sit back on that yacht and breathe that rare air right. Stretch those chicken legs out, one arm around his “b!tch” and the other with that cigar even though he says he dont smoke. How much is that book, 50 bucks? I’ll keep that in my pocket while I go read his shyt in the library if I got time to waste.
Yeah its true his geatest hits didnt sell that much,its because everybody bought all the original fuckin albums those songs were on..
@Vibrant Thang
Youre absolutely right. A major literary figure writing a book to reach new audiences and spread knowledge about his art is the exact same thing as “THE FLEECING OF AMERICA/THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA!”
Oh wait no… its the complete opposite… my bad nevermind.
@Jay-Z fan but not stan………..sold out????………..Come here baby……..please explain!!!
@mmKayy…..”its not hard to make this list”….Seriously? Please…stop yourself…you sounding real jealous right now
@Fuck Ya Life…Now that’s some funny shit right there @nigga talking bout books flopping.
My input?: The book is a very good read (in or out of the hip-hop world)…and it will make for a excellent christmas gift.
You people need to read a real book. SMDH.
em has an oscar for his movie sold more records then jayz hes made 6 albums jayz has 12 and he kills him in that catergory and em has out two books the most recent one is called the way i am and is a similar format to jayzs book and it was on the best sellers list wen it came out ems the goat they dont realize that jigga made mor albums and sold half of ems 90 million or more records in 6 years he was out the game from 05 to 09 dont forget that jayz will always b second to the white boy i always said ther will never b another 2pac and ther will never b another eminem GOAT
^lol bet it sucks that Em can be all that successful and Jays still worth 10x as much
^^^Ha! Even if The Greatest Hits do-quote-flop? Hov the king. Ok and fuck em! Dude was more of a gimmick than nicki minaj! With the funny indian accents and blonde hair corny as phases i can go on and on. Now i can see why she the first female artist he ever worked with/cosign. They are the same person but with different wigs! ha Only people who buy his shit is white/surburen areas. Dam half of jay fans are living in the hood/proverty and cant afford and support his music. While em stans i mean fans are festing on lobsters and crabs! Most surburan teens listen to his music just to rebel aganist their rich parents! Smh That is exactly why i hate album sell and the billboard. It blind people from greatest! So i guess soulja boy is way more better than currency base on units sold? Hell no! So king hov keep doing what you do and kill these haters by never stopping the movement. ha I FEED OFF HATE!!
The book is a good read please read it before you knock it. Amazing this man thinking, his upbring, his hustle and his love hiphop/rap that he doesnt want to see become irevelent.
Read the book. Then hate if you want to but its gona be hard.
Him being on the best seller list is another win for hiphop/rap. Thats how he’ll probably see it based on how his book read and thats the win-win.
Applaude him. Applaude our music being broken down (lyrics) in literature for niggas that dont know what most of us go thru and help understand, why we politic about rap like we do, why its hardwired in our lives and why rap is a competitive sport.
@Aftermath…Three Six Mafia has an Oscar too, so are they now lyrically superior to Jay?
Vanilla Ice sold more CDs than Rakim…does that now make him a better MC?
Miles Davis made more albums than Lady Gaga, but she’s sold more…is she now the superior artist?
Commerce, industry accolades, and artistry? Three different things,dummy
Em has a way with words….Jay is, for better or worse, is hip hop!
lol this site is funny, especially since half the people talking shit are illiterate
stop coparing eminem to jay it’s senseless…
^^^^Apparently you have no clue what illiterate means dumb ass! Ha! Last i check it meant lack the ability to read not spell words correctly. Its not like we are trying to become the next spelling bee champ! Its a blog site clown who the fuck cares?
^^^@Lil wayne fan/Jay-Z Yo i agree on the eminem gimmick and album sold and shit. hater are funny as hell but cant keep a great man down. i cosign everything you said accept for the currency and souja boy part they both suck ass to me.
Black People are such “haters.” The only race that hates on the success of their own simply because you cannot replicate the success of your brother or sister. You disgust me losers. Jay-Z has done more than any of you haters EVER will….period.
TWO WORD: ILLUMINATI FREEMASON
yall better prepare for it because they are WATCHING WITH THEIR ONE EYE and the world will soon be controlled by only a few chosen powerful and rich people!
it is a really good book actually
Regardless of opinion, it cannot be argued that Jay is not an icon for Hip Hop. This dude will be in the encyclopedia on the subject. I support the guy.
EMINEM ONLY SELLS MORE BECAUSE HE IS WHITE… PUNK ASS NIGGAZ…
@Dee-Loon
Even though Eminem has a ton of skill and talent, the white factor is unescapable unfortunately. I dont think he plays to that consciously though, i give him credit for that.
Hov! This book just proves what a brilliant, intelligent person Jay is. He gets my respect.
@Kingz
In case u havent noticed, pretty much everything is already controlled by a small, elite group of the rich and powerful- but theyre called the government, not the illuminati.
Yall can hate all u like but at the end of the day dude has money,beyonce,bars 4 days
yall haters have………..? oh word nothing die slow
