Empire State of Mind: How Jay-Z Went From Street Corner to Corner Office by Zack O'Malley GreenburgMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A great look into the life of one of the most interesting (and successful) people alive. It's too bad Jay-Z didn't agree to be interviewed for this, but on the other hand, much like happened with "Sam Walton - The Inside Story of America's Richest Man", this was just because Jay-Z was writing his own autobiography. When this happens, I tend to choose the version that will be less biased and (likely) more thoroughly researched. And this was definitely well-researched. Finding the link between Jay-Z and Armand de Brignac was quite impressive sleuthing.
Unfortunately, however, this book leaves off around 10 years ago. So no mention of his children, of other endeavors like Tidal, tours with Beyonce, etc.
If a revised version ever comes out, I'll probably check it out.
