I started in om the chapters today. i didn't get to finish chapter one but so far so good. this chapter went into more depth about Jay-Z's life as a teen leading up to when he became noticed.

Today i finished the first chapter. it was good. it talked about how jay-Z started to come up and how at first he didn't even want to be in the industry because he was making a lot of money selling d** and being a part of the drug cartel. Also it talked about how he fell out with one of his closest friends and it gave a foreshadow at the end that him and Damon Dash became friends but it went on to state that "if they were still working together they would be billionaires."
