Jay-z...and the ROC-A-FELLA RECORDS DYNASTY-241 PAGES AUTHOR: Jake Brown Genre: Hip-Hop

The reason we want to read this book is because we want to read about Jay-Z. He is the best rapper alive and he has modernized hip hop. He is from the tri-state area and went to high school in New Jersey. So are we. He has been going strong for over 10 years and has set the bar for the rest of hip hop. He is the Hip-hop king and other rappers look to him for success. Another reason we are choosing this book is because Jay-Z modernized hip hop. We know that he did that but we dont know how he did it. So we want to read how he did it. We also want to read about the life Jay-Z went through and what it was like to be him. Another thing that caught our interest is what he got his lyrics from, in a way what made him write and sing the songs he did. The final reason we choose this book is because is because Jay-Z is a guy who didnt have a easy life. So as group we wanted to read a book that we thought could give us a different perspective on life and not what we see life as. We also wanted to read a book that would keep us very interested through out the whole book and a book we would all enjoy. So we did a little reaserch and found a book about Jay-Z. We all talked about it and said yea we would read a book about him and how he modernized music and how we listen to it today.
