What Comes Next

So at the end of Decoded, I had a lot more respect for Jay-Z. Yesterday was his birthday, and for his birthday he released a short documentary on his work in making the Barclay's Center. Reading his story, I wasn't sure if it was credible. He could have easily exaggerated the story to make himself sound better. However after watching this documentary, I really do feel his book is accurate. I am sure he really did work for his success. What is more impressive is that he doesn't simply make it to the top and sit. He still works for things he believes in. Several times in this video to people mention how it is bringing jobs to the community. Not only that but several people address him with the utmost respect. He's not just the guy who was put in charge. He is seen as the guy who belongs there. The man with the vision, and the mind-set to get it done. I feel like this video shows him following up on the kind of person he was in the book, and gives both the book, and Jay-Z much more respect in my eyes. Also the subway scene where he talks to an elderly woman was extremely surprising. He wasn't arrogant, or egotistic  but rather humble, and respectful. I would have never guessed that through his stage presence. I can definitely say, Jay-Z is the real deal.
