Pretty useless if you know anything about Jay already or already understand his lyrics

They picked the wrong songs too

 

[HendriX]

I disagree..you can NEVER fully understand what an artist truly means unless he explain it himself.

Artists explanation >> own point of view

I bought when it came out. I thought it was interesting. The explanations + pictures makes it a pretty solid read.

Does anyone have the Glow In The Dark book? I bought that too, reaaallly liked flipping through that. Perfect coffee table book.

book is all style and zero substance

Disagree about the book having zero substance, but the way book started off was great..I really wanted it be an auto-biography rather than just explaining rhymes.

I agree. I was kind of disappointed about that but I ended up liking it anyways. There were meanings behind lines I had heard hundreds of times and never fully understood as Jay intended.

I liked the story about how BIG tricked him into blazing so BIG would be sharper on the mic.
