Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'm not a businessman-I'm a business, man." --Jay-Z Some people think Jay-Z is just another rapper. Others see him as just another celebrity/mega-star. The reality is, no matter what you think Jay-Z is, he first and foremost a business. And as much as Martha Stewart or Oprah, he has turned himself into a lifestyle. You can wake up to the local radio station playing Jay-Z's latest hit, spritz yourself with his 9IX cologne, slip on a pair of his Rocawear jeans, lace up your Reebok S. Carter sneakers, catch a Nets basketball game in the afternoon, and grab dinner at The Spotted Pig before heading to an evening performance of the Jay-Z-backed Broadway musical Fela! and a nightcap at his 40/40 Club. He'll profit at every turn of your day. But despite Jay-Z's success, there are still many Americans whose impressions of him are foggy, outdated, or downright incorrect. Surprisingly to many, he honed his business philosophy not at a fancy B school, but on the streets of Brooklyn, New York and beyond as a drug dealer in the 1980s. Empire State of Mind tells the story behind Jay-Z's rise to the top as told by the people who lived it with him- from classmates at Brooklyn's George Westinghouse High School; to the childhood friend who got him into the drug trade; to the DJ who convinced him to stop dealing and focus on music. This book explains just how Jay-Z propelled himself from the bleak streets of Brooklyn to the heights of the business world. Zack O'Malley Greenburg draws on his one-on-one interviews with hip-hop luminaries such as DJ Clark Kent, Questlove of The Roots, Damon Dash, Fred "Fab 5 Freddy" Brathwaite, MC Serch; NBA stars Jamal Crawford and Sebastian Telfair; and recording industry executives including Craig Kallman, CEO of Atlantic Records. He also includes new information on Jay-Z's various business dealings, such as: *The feature movie about Jay-Z and his first basketball team that was filmed by Fab 5 Freddy in 2003 but never released. *The Jay-Z branded Jeep that was scrapped just before going into production. *The real story behind his association with Armand de Brignac champagne. *The financial ramifications of his marriage to Beyonce. Jay-Z's tale is compelling not just because of his celebrity, but because it embodies the rags-to-riches American dream and is a model for any entrepreneur looking to build a commercial empire.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insightful and entertaining, Becoming Beyoncé: The Untold Story is the first authoritative biography of the most famous woman in the world today and a must-have for the 'Bey Hive'. She's adored by her millions of fans, writes and performs songs that move and inspire, but Beyoncé is truly known by very few. Now highly acclaimed biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli reveals the woman behind the star. He takes us from a childhood spent performing in talent shows to finding worldwide success with her group, Destiny's Child, managed by her father Matthew. Beyoncé's first solo album, Dangerously in Love, went straight to number one and she has to date released a total of five albums which have sold 75 million copies. Beyoncé prefers to keep her personal life with husband Jay Z and their children carefully under lock and key. She may be a top performer, fashion idol and business mogul in her own right, but fame has come at personal sacrifice and with private heartbreak. Based on exhaustive research, including exclusive interviews with those who have played pivotal roles in her life and career, the book reveals the hard-earned lessons 'Queen Bey' has learned about love, life, loyalty and family.

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: #1 Amazon Best Seller in Philosophy Criticism. The world is increasingly unthinkable, a world of planetary disasters, emerging pandemics, and the looming threat of extinction. In this book Eugene Thacker suggests that we look to the genre of horror as offering a way of thinking about the unthinkable world. To confront this idea is to confront the limit of our ability to understand the world in which we live – a central motif of the horror genre. In the Dust of This Planet explores these relationships between philosophy and horror. In Thacker's hands, philosophy is not academic logic-chopping; instead, it is the thought of the limit of all thought, especially as it dovetails into occultism, demonology, and mysticism. Likewise, Thacker takes horror to mean something beyond the focus on gore and scare tactics, but as the under-appreciated genre of supernatural horror in fiction, film, comics, and music. This relationship between philosophy and horror does not mean the philosophy of horror, if anything, it means the reverse, the horror of philosophy: those moments when philosophical thinking enigmatically confronts the horizon of its own existence. For Thacker, the genre of supernatural horror is the key site in which this paradoxical thought of the unthinkable takes place. The cover of In the Dust of this Planet can be seen in a New York gallery, on a banner at the 2014 Climate Change march in New York and on Jay-Z's back promoting Run. The book influenced the writers of the US TV series True Detective and has been lambasted by ex-Fox News broadcaster, Glenn Beck in this podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IW8OK4_1gQ
