  2. mikey says:

  3. az5lyrics says:

    WOW CAN’T WAIT TO GET MY COPY

    HOV THE G.O.A.T.

  4. Dozez says:

    bounce bounce bounce… nothing more to it

  5. DGtheEnigma says:

    LOL…way to get us B. Dot…

    You know you could’ve put Jay’s book Decoded due in November!

    Jay stans was about to go bananas.

  6. az5lyrics says:

    WHAT A TEASE B.DOT, I WAS THINKING THE SAME

    @Post no billz

    We all did fam. Lol…anyways, I’ll believe it when its in front of me on my table. I STILL can’t find Kanye’s book. I refuse to order that shit after he said it was in stores…and Jay was supposed to drop a book right around the time of The Black Album…maybe this is it…took 7 years, but ehh. Fuck it. I’m gonna cop it anyways.

  8. DGtheEnigma says:

    From Rolling Stone:

    “Since Decoded was completed several years ago, it remains unclear whether the book will feature additional chapters detailing Jay-Z’s last few years, including The Blueprint 3, his 360 deal with Live Nation, being a part owner of the New Jersey Nets and, his most guarded subject, his marriage to Beyoncé…”

    ^^^

    So basically it’ll be a retread of the exact same narrative we’ve heard in EVERY interview for the past 14 years…

    Well, gotta give it to him. At least Jay understands the value of mystique.

  9. Donn says:

    Ima be VIP for the Em and Jay concert, my first concert. Im excited

  10. Chip says:

    Gotdammit I read the title and thought we were getting album 12 this year! Good to see I’m not the only one at least lol

  11. j says:

    @ Ac@pella!

    I saw Kanyes book is at Books A Million.

  12. DGtheEnigma says:

    Honestly, the only thing we need is a Jay album this year to make 2010 one of the most memorable hip-hop years since 2000-2001ish.

    2010 is the first year in awhile where just about all of hip-hop’s heavyhitters dropped in the same year. Even Dr. Dre might really release Detox in 2010…I’m just kidding.

  13. DGtheEnigma says:

    @ Ac@pella!

    I saw Kanyes book is at Books A Million.

    ^^^

    I have it on my coffee table at home. It’s 50 bucks and comes with a 5 song instrumental CD from the GITDT.

    Most Borders have it in stock.

  17. Black By Popular Demand says:

  18. yuhu says:

  19. DGtheEnigma says:

  25. HOVA!! says:

    Hopefully, with this out of the way, he can drop an album late this year or VERY early next year.

  26. Just me ! says:

    lolx az5lyrics not dicking ridin you asshole ….. fuck you … hes just layin down the facts too bad … for your Hov …. Shady for life ……. It doesn’t mean i dnt like jigga man …. the dude got flow …. and i have heard and loved all his albums bt Eminem holdin the cards this game …. the dudes a lyrical bastered !

  28. Oj Da Cornball says:

    YN buying 100 copies, give one to B Dot, the other cat and keep 97 including 10 under his pillow.

  29. So Icy Boi! says:

    Jay-Z one of the weakest lyricist EVER and more overrated than Eminem dat nigga flow has no energy, he dont rhyme it just seem like he talkin thats it ..but niggaz be like “wow hov killed it”???

  30. Tim Lee VA Stand Up says:

    FIRST LET ME TAKE CARE OF THE FAGGOTS: @ So Icy Boi! – Seriously dude? I mean really?? Hey so Icy boi, Really??? I mean seriously??? Did u just really say Jay-Z has no energy??? I guess people at Cochella and Bonaroo that half of them arent even fucking hip hop fans……were ALERT to his presence the entire time. Hes one of the greatest lyricist and performers of all time. Who the fuck are you, im starting to wonder…..You must go to Adam Lamber shows and listen to Kenny G and Yanni or something. Stay off this site.

    2nd – The Black Book never made it in stores because Jay felt he was giving up too much information, almost dry snitching actually so he didnt release it.

  31. Nathaniel says:

    yep. copped. on release day.

    that is all.

  32. Belize says:

    We don’t need much of an explanation about Hov’s newer songs. Just saying.

  33. Truth83 says:

    might have some insider look on the roc split and beanie siegal “beef” if he adds the new chapters to this.

  34. So Icy Boi! says:

    @Tim Lee VA Stand Up ..let me guess u from New York or the Eastcoast ?? because the south and Midwest think Jay-Z trash…he overrated if Gucci Mane said the same lyrics Jay-Z be sayin niggaz would say its wack but would Gay-Z say it its fire

  35. Just me ! says:

    @So Icy Boi …………….. You gay homo …. fuck you ……. The dude Tim Lee VA Stand Up was rite …. Hov has Great lyrical ability …. Smh your Gay mane aint gott shit on young hov …. One of the reasons why jay-z remains on the top while … while your Gay mane remains on the streets givin Blow jobs nigga !

  36. Just me ! says:

    @So Icy Boi i thought you only hated Eminem …. bcz he was white …. bt wtf … you bitch …. be everywhere hating on every one ….. And yaa yoo Icy bitch … Go back to your Gay mane and take another shot of your Lemonade … before you think of repling to this ! STFU bitch and get back to your job at the strip club cleaning toilets !

  37. Antoine Dodson says:

    Jay is that nigga, although lyrically, he’s weak as hell. Still one of my favorites though. Book might be good too.

  46. unconform_normality says:

    I was born a God I made myself King…which means I downgraded to a human being. -Jay-Z

    Decoded that!…Im Loving it. Cant wait for the book. Put a side the hate, the man has been giving you good music from day one…to dance to, to smoke to, to ride to, to relate to and to vibe too. You dont have to like him but, respect for the man that he is and what he did/does in the rap game.

    And to the haters who still can’t get over whatever problem they have with him here is a question you need to pose to yourself

    “If I dont give a fuck how could I give a finger?” -Jay-Z

  47. NickeyBlack is done hating on anybody says:
