When exactly did jay-Z begin taking himself so seriously? I mean, wasn’t he a fun bad boy at some points in his career? I coulda sworn, he wrote some of the nastiest rhymes in the worl…
Now he has written a book called “Decoded” and is sproatting rubbish like “There’s thought behind it and there’s cleverness and there’s inspiration. There’s social reason and there’s political reason and there’s angst and there’s anger and all these different things inside music. Some people don’t realise the depth behind the writing”.
Oh dear.
Being rich, sellling millions of albums, meeting the Prez… being married to beyonce for fucks sake. That’s not enough. He wants people torelaize the depth behind the writing.
Hey, Jay-Z, here’s a clue: if you want people to realize something there is most probably nothing to realize.
On the other hand Rivers Cuomo is threatening “The Pinkerton Diaries”. It’s a collection of all my journals, emails, letters, photos, school papers, everything from those years ’94-’97. So you get an inside look as to exactly what I was thinking.”
OK, this sounds a lot better… I love Pinkerton.
BUT
I loved it a lot more before Rivers kept on running his mouth off about it. It used to be somewhat myserious and it isn’t any more.
