Excerpts from rapper Jay-Z‘s upcoming book, Decoded, was leaked online.
The excerpt discuss the rapper’s past life, including his first arrest and relationship with the late Notorious B.I.G.
In one of the extractions, Jay was still a teenager when he experienced his first major run-in with the law.
Jay-Z’s first arrest came at age 16. He was dealing in Trenton, because his friend “Hill” had a supplier there. Hill had enrolled in the local high school, and one day when Jay-Z went to meet him, he got caught with crack in his pockets on the campus. Since he had no prior arrests, the police let him go, but they confiscated his supply.
In order to make up the cash to the supplier, Jay-Z had to go back to Marcy and deal crack 60 hours straight — three days in a row, he writes. He kept awake by “eating cookies and writing rhymes on the back of brown paper bags.”
Another piece revealed that B.I.G. encouraged Jay to appreciate smoking marijuana.
Biggie made a cameo appearance in the 1996 video for “Ain’t no N – – – a,” which Jay-Z was filming with Foxy Brown in Miami just when he started to break. Jay-Z says he looked down on smoking pot as counterproductive, and only did so on vacation.
“I could count the number of times I’d smoked trees,” he writes. But when Big asked him to smoke, he said to himself, “Relax, you’re not on the streets anymore.” So he smoked, and got stoned out of his mind just before the video started shooting. Laughing at his formerly sober friend, Biggie leaned in and whispered in Jay-Z’s ear: “I got ya.” It took Jay-Z 20 minutes in his room to gather his wits. Later he told his friend: “Never again my n – – – a.”
The list of Jay-Z songs to be analyzed in Decoded was recently revealed online.

If Jay Z is not involved with the illuminati then why does he sing about them and commits blasphemy(D’evils, 99Problems)?
I wonder why people such as Jay-Z gain too much success even he had a very bad personal background.
