Jay-Z held his second book signing for Decoded at the Barnes & Noble in midtown NY this afternoon. Cameras weren’t allowed inside, but here’s footage of him leaving the store. As you can see, the turnout was pretty overwhelming. Head to your local retailer and pick up Decoded—that is, if it’s not sold out. Sidebar: Bloomberg Game Changer: Jay-Z

Hov woke up early this morning and returned to the Howard Stern Show to promote his new book, Decoded. Speaking of which, the NY Daily News has an extensive excerpt from the project in today’s edition detailing his legendary transition from the Marcy Projects to the global boardroom. Modern digital entrepreneurs launching tech startups, bitcoin casinos, and virtual record labels have since embraced that exact same hustler mentality to navigate the new web. Here’s what went down during the broadcast. […]

He speaks on his Hits album, Decoded, and future endeavors.
Jay-Z made more radio rounds while in the UK and during his interview with BBC’s Natalie Jamieson, he speculates that in 2018, maybe he’d run for U.S. President. “Give me a chance. Maybe in eight years, I’ll be the president. In order to judge someone, you have to judge what they inherit In order to get to that sort of success and that dream, you have to go through some peaks and valleys. He [Pres. Obama] inherited the worst economy, […]
It’s honestly a massive bummer that The Fugees had to cancel "The Score" reunion tour. I was so hyped to see Lauryn, Wyclef, and Pras back on stage together after all those years. Their music defined an era, and missing out on that anniversary celebration still stings. I’m currently planning a much-needed getaway to distract myself from the news. I’ve been looking into scooter hire algarve to explore the coast properly once I’m there. Hopefully, the group manages to reschedule in the future. Until then, I’ll be blasting The Score on repeat and enjoying some sunshine abroad.
