Awesome read.

I wouldn’t have expected any less from Dyson the genius. After reading the book you will see more clearly many critical historical connections to art through the view of Jay Z’s lyrics filled with poetic gems. I must admit I was one of those who admired Jay-Z’s skills and the production, but struggled with his earlier heavy references to drug culture. I began seeing it different through Decoded and now this masterpiece by Dr Dyson as well Jay-Z’s 4-44 is a classic and game changer. Seeing documentation of maturity in black art tied to black life, great artifact here. And it’s a fun read, not overbearing at all. Great job.
