Jay-Z On The Howard Stern Show Promoting New Book 'Decoded' (COOL)

Howard Stern has always been one of the best interviewers in the media for a long time and his interview of Jay-Z from yesterday's show (11.15.10) was no exception.  Stern doesn't usually interview a ton of rappers but when he does it's always very interesting.

He doesn't know much about Hip Hop as a whole so he ends up asking questions that are very different from the typical Urban Radio/TV interview which is refreshing.  He always gets very deep with his guests almost like he is putting them through a therapy session and it almost always ends up being one of the best interviews that artist has ever given.  I thought Jay-Z was very cool and forthcoming in this interview.  He's usually very guarded so it was nice hearing him open up about his life quite a bit.


Jay-Z was promoting his new book Decoded which is available in stores today.  Although I generally hate to read books, this is a definite must cop.
