Jay-Z’s Decoded is not only lovely to look at (the cover is gorgeous and there’s lovely art inside), it also offers a behind the scenes look at the inspiration for some of his greatest hits, as well as a break down of some of the lyrics. It’s not often listeners get a peek inside the mind of an artist but this is well worth a look even if you aren’t a fan of “Dirt Off Your Shoulder.” Can’t knock the hustle…
