ISBN: 9781400068920.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecoded is a book like no other: a collection of lyrics and their meanings that together tell the story of a culture, an art form, a moment in history, and one of the most provocative and successful artists of our time.\n\nPraise for Decoded\n\n“Compelling . . . provocative, evocative . . . Part autobiography, part lavishly illustrated commentary on the author’s own work, Decoded gives the reader a harrowing portrait of the rough worlds Jay-Z navigated in his youth, while at the same time deconstructing his lyrics.”—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times\n\n“One of a handful of books that just about any hip hop fan should own.”—The New Yorker\n\n“Elegantly designed, incisively written . . . an impressive leap by a man who has never been known for small steps.”—Los Angeles Times\n\n“A riveting exploration of Jay-Z’s journey . . . So thoroughly engrossing, it reads like a good piece of cultural journalism.”—The Boston Globe\n\n“Shawn Carter’s most honest airing of the experiences he drew on to create the mythic figure of Jay-Z . . . The scenes he recounts along the way are fascinating.”—Entertainment Weekly\n\n“Hip-hop’s renaissance man drops a classic. . . . Heartfelt, passionate and slick.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"One World","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44428176916533,"sku":"ByrdShop_1400068924","price":27.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781400068920_2ffa2317-7793-4ab4-aab9-9d8b6b9487fe.jpg?v=1787007119","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/decoded-9781400068920","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
