FDR's Controversial Dinner With Booker T. Washington
Jay-Z has been busy making his rounds in Miami and New York promoting his new book 'Decoded.' But now, it's time for the hip hop mogul to say "Hello Brooklyn."
On Nov.18, the 10-time Grammy Award winner will return to his hometown of Brooklyn for an intimate conversation with acclaimed television personality Charlie Rose.
Fans of the 'Empire State of Mind' MC can buy $50 tickets to see Hov on Nov.10 through www.museumtix.com. The ticket price also includes a copy of his book, which according to Jay-Z makes the case for hip-hop being poetry and how the music genre "created a way to take a very specific and powerful experience and turn it into a story that everyone in the world could feel and relate to."
The interview will air on 'The Charlie Rose Show' at a later date.
Jay-Z's 'Decoded' will be published Nov.16 via Random House.

No, I am not interested in reading Jigga Man's book and not interested in paying $50 for it? I remember some one on the blogs made comment about Jigga and Beyonce starting the rumors about being pregnant just to promote this book. I believe it.

No, I am not interested in reading Jezebel's book. I pray that Shawn Carter finds out the truth about the fallen cherub before it's too late. What does it profit a man to gain this whole world and then lose his soul?

As an ex drug dealer, I think it would be more beneficial for him to talk to active drug dealers to convince them that there is a better life - not necessarily in the music industry but education!!!

Wow, I'm glad folks opinion doesn't decpict one's altitude. I was quite surprise when I learned how many haters JZ and Beyonce had, how naive was I.
Anyway JZ managed to take himself from the PIT to the PALACE so "I AIN'T MAD AT HIM, and U shouldn't be either. He was not an educated man but a determined man and when he learned better he did better and changed his life. Bless U JZ and I'm glad you don't have to hurt folks anymore!

Time for to knock up the old lady. It is beginning to look like you do not like the Beyonce poontang. You must be shooting blanks if you are doing the big monkey with jiggabottom. One would think you would hit that thing morning,noon,and night until the Beyonce is knocked! Know what I mean? Hit it when you awake, hit it at noon,hit it after you eat and get drunk, hit it in the limo,hit it untill you cannot hit it no more,then take vitamin E and drink mucho milk and orange and cranberry juice. then start again all over.[old southern hillbilly remedy]
