But his success is based on 'street knowlege' as a hustler growing up in Bedford-Stuyvesant. I am also from Brooklyn, but unlike Jay-Z, I obtained a four year degree. I have read many literary works, even 75% of the books he has 'claimed' to have read. I can tell you, many of those books probably have very little to do with his success. But if you can get a gullible media to eat it up...more power to you Jay-Z. I guess being a good bullsh*tter is a great way to ensure success in this country! I felt that he tried way too hard in this interview. But if listening to Jay-Z is more likely to get young children to read, and spend less time on the streets...then I wouldn't technically consider his actions a BAD thing!

The former is the novel that most influenced me, but they are both life changing. Also the books, A Course in Miracles, The Art of Seduction, and Think and Grow Rich. Knowledge is Power Kids!!

What, do you think you just up and KNOW how to write in iambic pentameter? PEACE.
