Sneak Peek In Jay Z’s “Decoded”
Jay Z’s intention to release a book was made public last week, then the book title was revealed and now an excerpt. Damn, they working fast.
“….Decoded, wherein he delves into his own inexhaustible arsenal of wit and wordplay to explain what he meant by many of his favorite lines. “I’m gonna pick the select ones,” he told a radio DJ, “all the double entendres and things that people may have missed or may have gotten and want confirmation on it.” Forgive us if we were a little skeptical at first, but it just didn’t sound like anything we’d want to shell out $24.95 for ($9.95 for the Kindle edition—holla at us, Jeff Bezos!).” (Complex Mag)

Uh, uh, uh, yeah, uh, your boy is back
Jay Says:[I wrote that line right after I became a board-certified chiropractor--big up yourself, Palmer College of Chiropractic, Davenport Campus!]
(Sexy sexy) I know y’all miss the bounce
Jay Says: [I had just gotten Memph Bleek a pogo stick for Christmas, but lil' homie wouldn't stop jumping around the studio when i was in the booth. Instead of grounding him, though, I threw him in the verse.]
