Jay-Z says: " When I first started working on this I told my editor that I wanted to do three important things. The first was to make the case that Hip Hop lyrics-not just my lyrics, but those of every great MC-are poetry if you look at them closely enough.The second was I wanted the book to tell a little bit of the story of my generation, to show the context for the choices we made at a violent & chaotic crossroads in recent history. And the third piece was that I wanted the book to show how Hip Hop created a way to take a very specific & powerful experience & turn it into a story that everyone in the world could feel & relate to".
