Jay Z will be releasing his first book entitled “Decoded” on November 16th, 2010. According to Rolling Stone, “Decoded” mixes 1st person memoirs with detailed discussions of his most famous & provocative lyrics.

Jay’s 336 page book will discuss his early life in Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects, his stint as a drug dealer, & his success in Hip Hop. “Decoded” will also include illustrations and detailed explanations of many of his lyrics.

“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 told Rolling Stone in the June issue. “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.”

Jay also wanted to release another book in 2003 around the time he dropped The Black Album. Jay pulled the plug on “The Black Book” because it allegedly contained a lot of personal things he wasn’t ready to release to the world.
