People going out to buy this nucca book but won't go to college and open a textbook...smh We are breading a youth of narcissists. Obsessed with image and not substance.
SMOKE AND MIRRORS!!!!!!!!!!! all it takes is 5 of this ugly gooses friends to buy out the bookstores
forget the book being straight garbage because he's straight garbage, why would intellectuals buy a book from by someone who can barley articulate with his unattractive voice, they hate Kanye for taking Taylor's moment, but not Jay-z even though he takes young teenage girls and turns them into pieces of industry meat Rihanna, Beyonce, Tearria Mari(he had her at 16 talking about "Make Her Feel Good" while he passed her a "you my hoe" chain). Guess the destruction of young black girls is irrelevant.
If this book is successful it's because Every single lame in the industry that wants permission to also ride beyonce's coattails like he did to white money bought out a store to get in his good graces so they can duet with his wife, maybe that's why he bought her, for business deals. and of course Beyonce secretly ordered a lot of copies to make her man feel like "THE MAN" like so many women who secretly get their men jobs so they can have a peaceful home
You have to push at least a couple thousand to land on the NYT Bestsellers and Oprah has 100, 150 at best, people in her audience. Some of this logic doesn't make sense. Also, why are folks so surprised, didn't Superhead make the bestsellers a couple of years back?
Jay has been trying to get people to take him seriously as an "intellectual" for years now.
He needs to realize that he is just one of the lucky ones and stay in his lane and just enjoy the money and notoriety and JUST ACCEPT THAT NO ONE GIVES A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK OUTSIDE YOUR RAPPING SHAWN, SO KEEP IT MOVING.
Throwing on a doofy looking set of eyeglasses doesn't make Sean Carter an intellectual. Regurgitating lies about his "gangsta" upbringing doesn't make him truthful. Embellishing trivial incidents doesn't make him relevant. This fool is nothing but a LIE and I refuse to buy into it. Next-------------->

2:07 AM
Yes, Superhead did make the bestsellers list. Thing is, I knew people who actually went and purchased the book. There wasn't one person that wasn't talking about the book and you couldn't get in a beauty shop without at least 10 women reading the joint at the shampoo bowl or under the dryer.
I have yet to hear anyone talking about this book, let alone, know anyone who has purchased it. The bookstores have said the copies that they have received have not moved.
I mean, honestly, can anyone tell me what the book is about since so many people have read the book? And who's buying the book? Demographics anyone?
Um...The same way an album debuts on the Billboard charts when it is first released. Or the same ways a movie debuts on the box office charts after the weekend when it is first released. Whether or not Jay bought them himself is debatable, but your logic makes zero sense.
I get what you're saying but just because you don't know anyone personally who bought it doesn't mean that nobody bought it at all. I mean, I don't know anybody that listens to Taylor Swift (and I live in the South) yet she was able to go platinum the first week out, so...
Maybe he sold big in New York, where there's tens of millions of people. Don't forget the white kids in suburbia love him too.
Just remember who controls the media, music and about everything else, just because the say Jay made the best sellers list, does not mean it is true STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING YOU SEE OR HEAR UNLESS YOU HAVE HARD EVIDENCE
Everything is a conspiracy with black folks. Look, Jay ain't even making money off this book so he has no incentive to buy his own. The cost of printing, distribution and marketing of a book outweighs the actual profits, which means an author sees very little return. Let's not forget he has to split everything 50/50 with Dream Hampton, the book's co-author. Now if he was selling billions of books worldwide like Harry Potter or Twilight, then I'd believe something is up. But this is just a drop -- naw, not even a sprinkle -- in the bucket for ol' Jay.
Best seller where are the numbers? then again most of your youth finally when out and read a book. But why did it have to be this fool.Well at least they reading. It's a start.
He wants to be perceived as an intellectual. Money cannot buy the wisdom and knowledge you get form college. It takes time and studying.Materialistic things wane after a while, but what makes you yo will remain a forever. There is nothing like EDUCATION. HE AND HIS WIFE SHOULD TRY IT. He wouldn't have to wear that attire.One would automatically know his intellectual status. Wearing a blond weave daily displays your lack of self esteem. Sometimes the rich wish they had the education that we the paupers have. At least we have something no one can take away from us- even a recession!!
I SMELL B.S. SAME AS WITH THE CD SALES ITS ALL MANIPILATED FOR AN IMAGE.WHY DO U THINK THAT UN THE END SO MANY OF THESE BUSINESSES FAIL ITS BEWCAUSE THEY ARE NOT BASED ON SOLID NUMBERS
It makes PERFECT sense. Shawn/Bey's publisict, don't het mad because everyone KNOWS that BOTH the contents if the book AND the fake-ass "bestseller" status are BULLSHIT.
Not EVERYONE is as STUPID as Beyonce.
Suckit up and keepit moving.
Better luck trying to bullshit everyone next time.
Before Shawn/Beyonce's publicist comes back on here asking who has actually read it, let me pre-empt that mess with this:
You don't have to stick your hand in a fire to know that it's hot.
You don't have to smell the object coming out of a bull's ass to know that it's a turd and that it stinks. All you have to do is look at the source to know that its BULLSHIT.
OMG, really. The way people are reacting you would think this man re-wrote the King James Bible and called it the Jay-Z Bible. Is it really that hard to believe that someone putting out a book during the holidays would actually sell it? WTF at someone saying a book can't debut on the charts, then how the hell do albums and songs make it to the charts? Also FYI, book companies don't operate the same as record companies, as book companies don't put in the same kind of promotional finances behind a book as a record company would put into a project since IT IS MORE EXPENSIVE TO PUBLISH A BOOK THAN PUT OUT A CD in relative costs. Somebody already said it, but Jay really isn't making any profit off of this. When you're rich and bored, you can take time to make bullshit coffee table books for the masses.
I get what you're saying but just because you don't know anyone personally who bought it doesn't mean that nobody bought it at all. I mean, I don't know anybody that listens to Taylor Swift (and I live in the South) yet she was able to go platinum the first week out, so...
I hear you. A lot of people are saying based upon the history of this family, they aren't buying the authenticity of the reports that this book is a bestseller. Just like they didn't buy the stories about the sale of the Heat.
The comparison was in reference to Superhead. Of course, just because I "don't know anyone personally who bought the book doesn't mean that nobody bought the book at all". I believe some people bought the book...just folks aren't rushing out to get it. What I was trying to convey was, you actually saw people walking around with her (Superhead) book in hand and the contents of the book on their lips. EVERYONE was talking about that book. Not knocking dude, just saying, compared to Superhead's book, that was also on the bestseller's list, this book pales in comparison.
To me it is funny when it is OBVIOUS that these "artists" (whether themselves or their publicists - depending on what they can afford) come on here to "defend" the "artist" while masquerading as a regular poster.
@3:32 Honey chile, baby girl or boy, you're reaching. Like, really, you're reaching. Let go of the shift key and calm down.
You're going by the Google definition of "debut," child. I know, cause just like you I went to Google and typed in debut. Please refer to Merriam-Webster, an actual dictionary instead of a search engine, if you really want to make it that deep: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/debut
Debut means "a first appearance." This is Decoded's first appearance on the NYT bestsellers. I can't believe you're that clueless. They must not be teaching vocabulary in the schools anymore for you to have to do a fuckin' Google search for the word "debut" -- and take it out of context just to prove a worthless point.
Last week, Jay-Z wasn't on the list. This week, Jay-Z DEBUTED on the list since the book picked up sales. How hard is that to comprehend? Wait, let me not use the word "comprehend" since you might have to Google that one too. How hard is that to *UNDERSTAND*?
If something is on a list that wasn't there before, what do you call it? A debut. No tricks. No games. No publicists. People bought the book, the book made its debut. But you're clearly lost trying to school people on some made-up definition mixed with conspiracy theory.
Now please, go sit in the corner, sip some apple juice and come back when you're ready.
everybody that post on here is so damm dumb. STOP HATING CAUSE YOU AINT HIM DAMM. The Superhead bitch wrote a book about fucking and sucking and it was on the best sellers list, where was the outrage, you fucking black morons! Glen Beck write a book every week and make the list each time damm, unlike all yall dumb asses I will rather see any nigga on the list than Glen Beck and them. what a joke black people.
IM JUST SAYING I WENT TO ALL THE WHITE BLOG SITES AND NEVER FOR ONCE SEE ANY WHITE PEOPLE BASHING THEIR OWN JUST CAUSE THEY WROTE A BOOK THEY MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH. NO WONDER WHY WE HAVE BLACK PRESIDENT AND STILL FEEL LIKE CRAP. SORRY AS PEOPLE
@4:34 Kill the word hating because that word is way overused. Nobody is jealous of Jayz self centered ass. He soldout the black community by providing them crack and gloryifing the thug like. Why in the fuck will I waste my money on that fake ass bastard. Superhead sold alot because she outed these gay fucking rappers. White blogs bash each other as well. If you want to stan for Jayz go there and see how many N-words and Joe Camels he will be called. Jayz is a fake he only pushed this book out because Nas has one on the way. Jayz copied Nas just like he those with every other rap artist. I rather support Nas book he raps more than drugs and he is a very deep rapper.
^^^ Jayz is a fraud. If I am not mistaken Jayz brought most of American Gangster cd and stored them in a storage unit. As an illusion to make it seem like his cd was selling. I am not fooled by him or his dumb wife.
1.The man sold drugs when he was a teen,bad decision but it's a common job for young teens growing up in the project.Also to those who say he buys his own albums,how can u prove every artist or label does or doesn't do the same thing ?
2.This book has been in the works since 03-04 when the rock was still together,Nas just started the concept of his book.
3.To the person who said he turned young girls out......Um beyonce was well over 21 when they hooked up,Rhianna was young but signed because L.A Reed perused her,plus "she" was lookin to sign a deal with any one...why not def jam ??
4.If Jay-Z has personally gotten u fired,evicted,harmed u physically,punched yo momma,robbed u,forced u to purchase his material,ect...Then I agree with all this HATE.But since I'm sure none of you have had any altercations with him on any level,then I'm surprised you can HATE a man or person U NEVER EVEN MET.....Let it sink in a bit.
5.It's a book about his life an lyrics,he sells out concerts by himself,so I'm guessing the people who goes to his shows copped the book. I mean unless the countless videos of sold out shows around the world are fake or those people were paid to come.
6.If you read thru the comments try an see the amount of anger yall have towards one man,who has ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT on your day to day lives. no compare that with people who do effect you,politicians,pulpit pimps,cops,ect. Then ask yourself why the hell do i REALLY hate Jay-Z ??
7.If i like Jay's music that makes me a fan of his music,not a dick rider,not an ass kisser,ect...If you don't like something then you tend to avoid it,but some of yall know more about the man than his fans do,which begs the question why the hell do u care so much ???
8.THE WORD HATER IS PLAYED OUT,BUT BOY IF WE EVER NEED TO VIEW A POST TO FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE MEAN WHEN THEY CALL SOMEONE A HATER.......YEAH THIS ONE WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO START.
Serious Hampton Jayz music does impact some teenagers life. You need to sit down with that bullshit. Jayz has a ghost writer, so no Jayz did not write his lyrics. And his so- called drug dealer life is all a lie. Again people have the right to voice his or her opinions. What real man will support a rapper who calls himself GOD. Explain this information.
Why is the word "HATER" continued to be used when you tell the FACTS about these people. This man as done nothing but belittle women, glorified drugs and violence(while turning a blind eyes at the high crime rates and drug use in very communities he markets too.) Trying to force feed the OCCULT, his satanic commitment and idiol Alister Crowly thinking unto our youth. While all alone he continues to financally rape our communities with his baphomet garbage he calls a book. Please, haters? i think not!..ANYONE that is intentially degrading and systematically killing our youth I will Forever speak out against.. Tupac said, this man was an opportunist who's a weak, heartless individual WHO DIDN'T CARE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITIES.. AND HE WAS SO RIGHT. I'll NEVER buy, support or defend this weak, greedy man, who has done nothing for ANYONE outside his "yes man" circle. And as a youth counselor, I'm making it MY passion and civic duty to inform the youth what this man and many others like him are all about in their own words and expressions, on and off the stage...But I must thank him, for FINALLY being real about who and what he is, and buy doing so, THE MASSES are seeing him beyond the farcade and through the intentional fog. Listening beyond the beats, and researching facts outside of the hip hop magazines . So in hindsight, this is the best move he could of made for our communities. Truly showing his "TRUE COLORS" causing many to see a satanic and a greedy individual who has really "SOUL" out, all along playing on their intelligents and poverty plights all for his personal and economical gain.......So, thats not Hating it's Informing the Uninformed..learn the difference cause if pre teens and teens are fully aware of the difference when it comes to these fake, weak hearted "idols", there's no way a 20+ year old shouldn't..
The long soliloquy isn't going to change the fact that you CANNOT sell something BEFORE IT IT AVAILABLE.
You ain't sounding rational or intelligent. You are only PROVING that:
1. You're FULL OF SHIT
2. Jay is obviously concerned about this SHIT being exposed for the BULLSHIT that it is by paying SHILLS like YOU to come here and defend the undefenseable.
The FACT remains...FUCK this fake drug-dealing, beat and verse stealing nigga and his BULLSHIT book.
I read somewhere that he said he's going to run for president in the next 8-12 years. I think he is going the oprah route to expose all his own dirt so that no one else can. I guess it gives him the 'redeeming quality' that white folks need to see and shines a light on him coming from nothing and ending up on the top. I can't respect him or his wife's actions(Bey is truly the baddest chick in the game), because they are indeed perpertrating a horrible injustice on our community in order to glorify themselves. Have they no conscience? How much money do they need? Must they make it by continuing to sell out our people. Obviously they want to hang with the worlds elite. All the photo ops with Bill Gates and the other billionaires that for some reason all of a sudden have a desire to be photographed with a drug dealer (former) and his oh so proper wife. Now I have no feeling one way or the other about the Carters. So please don't say it's hating or jealousy. It's just the observations of someone who's been alive awhile and finally has seen the difference in what the elite call the "White and Black world." Trust, that is not a reference to skin color. It is a reference to what is really going on in the world as opposed to what we are being told. Parents have to wake up and stop being star stuck and get back to the basics with their children. Teach them respect(especially for themselves) and manners and make them read a damn book instead of listening to the filth that music is spreading and the lies that we hear on the news everyday.

Why? How?
What are the sales Bitch cause I need to know how much did Jay sell, oh does that included what he gave Oprah.
Humph...This dumbing down in society is actually working. There is no way this should have been at the top of the Best Sellers list.
yeah right thats cause oprah brought them all and gave them away for free
this is bullshit.
you what i just realized, jayz aint got no base in this voice its like he stuck in puberty
Oprah bought them all and gave them to her audience.
People going out to buy this nucca book but won't go to college and open a textbook...smh We are breading a youth of narcissists. Obsessed with image and not substance.
Jayz brought most of those books. I smell bull ish!!!
putting on a pair of glasses don't make you smart j
SMOKE AND MIRRORS!!!!!!!!!!!
all it takes is 5 of this ugly gooses friends to buy out the bookstores
forget the book being straight garbage because he's straight garbage, why would intellectuals buy a book from by someone who can barley articulate with his unattractive voice, they hate Kanye for taking Taylor's moment, but not Jay-z even though he takes young teenage girls and turns them into pieces of industry meat Rihanna, Beyonce, Tearria Mari(he had her at 16 talking about "Make Her Feel Good" while he passed her a "you my hoe" chain).
Guess the destruction of young black girls is irrelevant.
If this book is successful it's because Every single lame in the industry that wants permission to also ride beyonce's
coattails like he did to white money bought out a store to get in his good graces so they can duet with his wife, maybe that's why he bought her, for business deals.
and of course Beyonce secretly ordered a lot of copies to make her man feel like "THE MAN"
like so many women who secretly get their men jobs so they can have a peaceful home
Yeah it's because OPRAH BROUGHT ALL THOSE BOOKS FOR HER SHOW!
You have to push at least a couple thousand to land on the NYT Bestsellers and Oprah has 100, 150 at best, people in her audience. Some of this logic doesn't make sense. Also, why are folks so surprised, didn't Superhead make the bestsellers a couple of years back?
FUCK YOU OPRAH !!!! HOW FUCKIN DARE YOU PROMOTE THIS SHIT !!!

Wow. Someone REALLY has men issues.
You need to get laid quick!!! LOL
Anyway, LOL
Jay has been trying to get people to take him seriously as an "intellectual" for years now.
He needs to realize that he is just one of the lucky ones and stay in his lane and just enjoy the money and notoriety and JUST ACCEPT THAT NO ONE GIVES A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK OUTSIDE YOUR RAPPING SHAWN, SO KEEP IT MOVING.

This fool is nothing but a LIE and I refuse to buy into it. Next-------------->
What the fuck is up with him amd that "Farmer Fred" checkered shirt and the Clark Kent glasses?
OOOhhhh I get it. That means he's "smart".
OOooooooK.
@8:17
LOL at "doofy" LOL
ROTFL at those giant glasses on that fool's nugget head.
Reading is fundamental niggas!!!!
How do you "debut" at any number when the shit just was released?
Definitions of debut on the Web: * present for the first time to the public;
So, that means the ONLY way some book cab "debut" at "#3" is if copies have ALREADY BEEN BOUGHT.
If I put out a book and then buy most of the copies myself, I can "debut" at #3" too (I'd go for #1 myself).
LOL at this fake-ass nigga.

@1:59
Your publixist skills are ok, but it is STILL BULLSHIT and that is the way records have been sold as a commodity since the invented the phonograph.
READ the DEFINITION of DEBUT.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for THE PUBLIC to BUY SOMETHING BEFOE IT IS OFFERED FOR SALE TO THE PUBLIC.
THE "BOOK" was PRE-BOUGHT by Jay-Zs minions so that it "could be said" that it is a best seller.
ALL of the recording/book industry people do it to push ACTUAL PUBIC SALES.
Save the drama for the non-retarded/delusional/stupid.
For 3:32 - You know what is meant bitch.

6.If you read thru the comments try an see the amount of anger yall have towards one man,who has ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT on your day to day lives. no compare that with people who do effect you,politicians,pulpit pimps,cops,ect. Then ask yourself why the hell do i REALLY hate Jay-Z ??
7.If i like Jay's music that makes me a fan of his music,not a dick rider,not an ass kisser,ect...If you don't like something then you tend to avoid it,but some of yall know more about the man than his fans do,which begs the question why the hell do u care so much ???
8.THE WORD HATER IS PLAYED OUT,BUT BOY IF WE EVER NEED TO VIEW A POST TO FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE MEAN WHEN THEY CALL SOMEONE A HATER.......YEAH THIS ONE WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO START.
Serious Hampton Jayz music does impact some teenagers life. You need to sit down with that bullshit. Jayz has a ghost writer, so no Jayz did not write his lyrics. And his so- called drug dealer life is all a lie. Again people have the right to voice his or her opinions. What real man will support a rapper who calls himself GOD. Explain this information.
Why is the word "HATER" continued to be used when you tell the FACTS about these people. This man as done nothing but belittle women, glorified drugs and violence(while turning a blind eyes at the high crime rates and drug use in very communities he markets too.) Trying to force feed the OCCULT, his satanic commitment and idiol Alister Crowly thinking unto our youth. While all alone he continues to financally rape our communities with his baphomet garbage he calls a book. Please, haters? i think not!..ANYONE that is intentially degrading and systematically killing our youth I will Forever speak out against.. Tupac said, this man was an opportunist who's a weak, heartless individual WHO DIDN'T CARE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITIES.. AND HE WAS SO RIGHT. I'll NEVER buy, support or defend this weak, greedy man, who has done nothing for ANYONE outside his "yes man" circle. And as a youth counselor, I'm making it MY passion and civic duty to inform the youth what this man and many others like him are all about in their own words and expressions, on and off the stage...But I must thank him, for FINALLY being real about who and what he is, and buy doing so, THE MASSES are seeing him beyond the farcade and through the intentional fog. Listening beyond the beats, and researching facts outside of the hip hop magazines . So in hindsight, this is the best move he could of made for our communities. Truly showing his "TRUE COLORS" causing many to see a satanic and a greedy individual who has really "SOUL" out, all along playing on their intelligents and poverty plights all for his personal and economical gain.......So, thats not Hating it's Informing the Uninformed..learn the difference cause if pre teens and teens are fully aware of the difference when it comes to these fake, weak hearted "idols", there's no way a 20+ year old shouldn't..

Dear Jay-Z's Publicist:
The long soliloquy isn't going to change the fact that you CANNOT sell something BEFORE IT IT AVAILABLE.
You ain't sounding rational or intelligent. You are only PROVING that:
1. You're FULL OF SHIT
2. Jay is obviously concerned about this SHIT being exposed for the BULLSHIT that it is by paying SHILLS like YOU to come here and defend the undefenseable.
The FACT remains...FUCK this fake drug-dealing, beat and verse stealing nigga and his BULLSHIT book.
Next.
@Save our Youth thank you finally someone understands the truth about Jayz.
I don't understand this obsession with Jay Z, I just dont get why people spend so much money on this fool.
fuck outta here.. That book is a blueprint for thugs. garbage . Please stop
I read somewhere that he said he's going to run for president in the next 8-12 years. I think he is going the oprah route to expose all his own dirt so that no one else can. I guess it gives him the 'redeeming quality' that white folks need to see and shines a light on him coming from nothing and ending up on the top.
I can't respect him or his wife's actions(Bey is truly the baddest chick in the game), because they are indeed perpertrating a horrible injustice on our community in order to glorify themselves. Have they no conscience? How much money do they need? Must they make it by continuing to sell out our people.
Obviously they want to hang with the worlds elite.
All the photo ops with Bill Gates and the other billionaires that for some reason all of a sudden have a desire to be photographed with a drug dealer (former) and his oh so proper wife.
Now I have no feeling one way or the other about the Carters. So please don't say it's hating or jealousy. It's just the observations of someone who's been alive awhile and finally has seen the difference in what the elite call the "White and Black world." Trust, that is not a reference to skin color. It is a reference to what is really going on in the world as opposed to what we are being told.
Parents have to wake up and stop being star stuck and get back to the basics with their children. Teach them respect(especially for themselves) and manners and make them read a damn book instead of listening to the filth that music is spreading and the lies that we hear on the news everyday.
sorry for the rant. Im just pissed the f@@@ off.
