Forbes senior editor Zack O'Malley Greenburg reveals the story of Jay Z's legendary rise from the Marcy Projects of Brooklyn to stages and corner offices worldwide. He draws on over 100 interviews with those who knew Jay Z from the beginning: his classmates at George Westinghouse High School; the childhood friend who got him into the drug trade; and the DJ who convinced him to stop dealing and focus on the music. Also bearing witness are the artists who worked alongside him, including J. Cole and Alicia Keys. Jay Z's life is a blueprint for any hustler, businessperson, and entrepreneur who seeks to build something spectacular.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BEYONCÉ & JAY Z: Beyoncé & Jay Z - 2 Books In 1!Featuring...*Beyoncé*Jay Z 2 Great Biographies In 1! Beyoncé Musical megastar and cultural phenomenon, Beyoncé - was born Beyoncé Giselle Knowles on the 4th of September, 1981, at the Park Plaza Hospital in Houston, Texas. Today, her personal and professional life is inextricably bound to her family history. Her father Mathew had managed the band that first made her a star, Destiny's Child; and her mother Tina was the hit-making girl group's stylist and designer, on top of being Beyoncé's collaborator in their later forays into the fashion world. The business of being Beyoncé was therefore, a family affair - and the family, an essential part of the woman that is Beyoncé. This is her story... Jay Z This is the story of Jay-Z, who in his hardscrabble youth grew up in a broken family, was raised by a single mother, had lived in violent projects, needed to hustle to survive, dealt drugs, got shot at and did his own shooting, and he'd even been arrested. In this light, he could have been "a statistic - " another unfortunate number, a nameless faceless figure in America's poor record of systemic injustices against young people of color. But by a mix of talent, intelligence, grit, entrepreneurial savvy and inextricably some luck, Jay-Z defied the odds and made his own numbers and set his own records. After all, these are his personal stats: he holds the record for most number of albums (14!) getting the top spot among solo artists, trailed by no less than Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand's 11 apiece. He is, however, only in second place for most number of albums topping the chart... following no less than the Beatles (who have 19). He has 21 Grammys for his work in music. But more than a successful musician, he is a businessman with diverse interests. In 2018, Forbes estimated his net worth to be at a staggering $900 million, making him the richest man in hip-hop, and the 5th richest person in entertainment - putting him in the same circles as filmmakers George Lucas and Steven Spielberg; media queen Oprah Winfrey; and "Greatest of All-Time" (G.O.A.T.) sports and pop culture icon, Michael Jordan. As husband of the multi-talented phenomenon Beyonce, Jay-Z is one half of entertainment's most powerful pair. Together, they are not only the coolest couple in the world, their joint net worth takes them well past the billion-dollar mark.

Download or read book JAY Z written by Michael Eric Dyson and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW A NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY BESTSELLER "Dyson writes with the affection of a fan but the rigor of an academic. ... Using extensive passages from Jay-Z’s lyrics, 'Made in America' examines the rapper’s role as a poet, an aesthete, an advocate for racial justice and a business, man, but devotes much of its energy to Hova the Hustler." —Allison Stewart, The Washington Post "Dyson's incisive analysis of JAY-Z's brilliance not only offers a brief history of hip-hop's critical place in American culture, but also hints at how we can best move forward." —Questlove JAY-Z: Made in America is the fruit of Michael Eric Dyson’s decade of teaching the work of one of the greatest poets this nation has produced, as gifted a wordsmith as Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Rita Dove. But as a rapper, he’s sometimes not given the credit he deserves for just how great an artist he’s been for so long. This book wrestles with the biggest themes of JAY-Z's career, including hustling, and it recognizes the way that he’s always weaved politics into his music, making important statements about race, criminal justice, black wealth and social injustice. As he enters his fifties, and to mark his thirty years as a recording artist, this is the perfect time to take a look at JAY-Z’s career and his role in making this nation what it is today. In many ways, this is JAY-Z’s America as much as it’s Pelosi’s America, or Trump’s America, or Martin Luther King’s America. JAY-Z has given this country a language to think with and words to live by. Featuring a Foreword by Pharrell

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A TIME Magazine Best Paperback of 2017 One of Oprah Magazine's "Ten Best Books of 2017" "This singular poetry collection is a dynamic meditation on the experience of, and societal narratives surrounding, contemporary black womanhood. . . . These exquisite poems defy categorization." —The New Yorker The only thing more beautiful than Beyoncé is God, and God is a black woman sipping rosé and drawing a lavender bath, texting her mom, belly-laughing in the therapist’s office, feeling unloved, being on display, daring to survive. Morgan Parker stands at the intersections of vulnerability and performance, of desire and disgust, of tragedy and excellence. Unrelentingly feminist, tender, ruthless, and sequined, these poems are an altar to the complexities of black American womanhood in an age of non-indictments and deja vu, and a time of wars over bodies and power. These poems celebrate and mourn. They are a chorus chanting: You’re gonna give us the love we need.
