I enjoyed reading this book, but that’s really because I’m a big Jay Z fan- so reading about the rise of how Roc Nation came into being, and how it all started from someone who had nothing, I found the book educational on a topic that I’m interested about in the first place.
The book is partly biography and partly business dealings. It chronicles all of his business ventures and how it coincided with his album releases and his public life. It even discussed how he came to negotiate his way out of his first contract he had when he released Reasonable Doubt; something I never knew. I also even learned some other things that i never knew about- the whole Rucker Park scenario where Jay tried his hand at putting together a basketball team before he dropped the Blueprint (or somewhere around that time anyway).
All in all, interesting book. I wanted more. I want a Jay Z biography.
