Jay-Z continued his Decoded promo run on Michael Eric Dyson‘s radio program. He more less reiterated the spiel from previous interviews, but here’s how MED broke it down.
In this penetrating interview, Jay-Z shares insight into his childhood in Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects, past life of hustling on the streets, the often overlooked and underestimated intellectual depth and complexity of rap music, the misogynistic lyrics in some hip-hop songs, and offers thoughtful and heartfelt advice to young people who also have suffered the pain of missing the fathers in their lives.
Jay-Z for president!
1st!
HE LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER PERSON WHEN HE SMILES…BEAUTIFUL SMILE 🙂

I DON’T HATE JAY-Z! BUT HIS CATALOG IS WACK!
YOU CAN HATE ME NOW!
@ C.real did Jay Z smash your mom or your girl? you sound like a woman scorn lol
on another note… Jay Z shows the entire evolution of Hip Hop from just being a MC to an Empire, a international brand…. hope the young ones are watching how to evolve in this industry and society
@ Cold Blood there is only one catalog close and the bad thing is I dont even think his entire catalog is that great
This is a great interview. Rapradar handling they business. Keep up the good work.
DARK THAT WAS HOMO SMH

@NotoriousRambo

@ C.real
I know you aren’t acting like you’ve NEVER seen him wear it before. If you are you sound stupid, go check the last Basketball game he was at with Bee (last month I think).
Thanks for the interview RR. Appreciate it. With every year that goes by Jay just continues to prove why he is the best to ever do it.
This is by far one of the realest interviews i’ve heard! jay-z gets much respect in my book! very articulate that michael dyson! great post!
Ummm, no. I will patiently wait for NAS’ book. I hope he will have his book coming out in 2011. I will patiently wait for that and hesitate to put my money on any Nas project. Jay z, ummm, no.
Jay-z to me is one of the greastest rapper ever dead or alive. Big only rap about a certain topic but jay to me is an upgrade verison of pac that everyone love to hate waiting for the joint album with yeezy
its time for the movie!!! jay!!
Jay said alot of rappers who are in they 30’s still making music like their 18 and not evolving or maturing with music and the 1st person that came to my mind was 50cent. 50 making that song and video with Souljah Boy was ridiculous and i believe its going to hurt his music career furthermore. This is why i didnt cop BISD because 50 showed no growth, no maturity and no real intelligence at all. Im not hating but we the same age and as i get older and try to get money like 50 did, he gets younger and ignorant with his music but he shows maturity in some of his business ventures. How come 50 cant utilize the maturity aspect in his music.
The song he did with Jada is another example, although 50 and Jada are the same age but that song is really for ignorant fools who do not want better or they fail to realize i”m getting older but dumber also.”
Big ups to Jayz. The 1st rapper to rewrite history without a pen and that makes you the greatest man alive.
DECODED
@A million things run thru my mind
Cosign! Niggas don’t understand that all they wanna do is hate on jay!
interesting and, at times, insightful interview…however, dyson’s like yn, the dick riding is a lil nauseating! dyson was borderline getting his bishop long on with jay
