Any Music Without Context Is A Lie
Last Night Jay-Z was invited by New York Public Library's Director of LIVE, Paul Holdengraber to discuss his new book 'Decoded' alongside Princeton professor Dr Cornel West.
Jay started the event by stating why he found the need to indulge in such a book... "For me, we're all complex human beings... Nothing is simply black and white. There are multiple reasons why we arrive at such decisions. It's impossible without context to tell a story because you'll be telling some sort of lie. For me it was very important to give these stories context and not just give excuses to everything we've done."
