Book Review: Decoded by Jay-Z

The book in question is pretty much how to be successful no matter what life throws at you. In fact, Jay-Z is quite similar to master entrepreneur Warren Buffet and they both have similar independent thought patterns. These two guys ignore what others say about them and take their own steps in life. You may know that while Warren Buffet’s mentor was his own father, Jay-Z also had a mentor in sixth grade known as Miss Lowden. Jay Z grew up in New York City, where the J and Z subway lines meet. He has defined the same thing that Warren Buffet has called “Discipline not to get caught up in the moment.”

Since there are many who doubt Jay Z’s endurance as a businessman or entrepreneur, I advise you to take a look at the statistics. Jay-Z’s record sales statistics are very impressive, 11 consecutive number one albums, which in itself is a world record for the most number one albums by a solo artist. Additionally, he has sold over 50 million copies of his albums worldwide and has won 10 Grammy Awards. The numbers show that he is one of the best musicians or music promoters there has ever been.

If you give this book a chance you will enjoy the read as it brings out one of the best ideas of businessmen, the way he sees things is unique. The book is quite different from normal day-to-day biographies.

Decoded by Jay-Z looks into the mind of a truly fascinating character. If you’re a fan of Jay-Z, this book presents his career from start to finish in a phenomenal way.
