DERICK G's PORTRAYAL OF "LIGHT UP" from DERICK G on Vimeo.

Decoded by Jay-Z



Jay-Z is about to release his very first book, entitled “Decoded”.

“On Tuesday, November 16, 2010, Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter and publisher Spiegel & Grau, an imprint of the Random House Publishing Group, are set to release Decoded, the first book written by the multi-platinum, 10 time Grammy Award winning entrepreneur and icon. Unique in every sense, Decoded is a narrative journey through the lyrics and life of one of the most prolific artists of our time.

Featuring an image of Andy Warhol’s Rorschach on the cover, the beautifully designed, fully-illustrated book decodes 36 songs from JAY-Z’s extensive catalog. By telling the stories behind some of Jay-Z’s most famous and provocative lyrics, Decoded offers an intimate, first-hand account of an artist, his work, and the culture that so powerfully shaped him.

In addition to the hardcover release, Random House will publish Decoded as an eBook, as well as an interactive iPhone/iPad application that will include exclusive video and customizable content that will allow users to delve into a deeper Decoded experience.”

The book releases on November 16th and can now be pre-ordered from: http://tinyurl.com/2ued3am

Rocksmith Fall 10: I'm The Man

Rocksmith Fall 10: I'm The Man from Rocksmith on Vimeo.



The Rocksmith Fall 2010 lookbook commercial "I'm the Man" takes place
on an upbeat early autumn afternoon in the trains and streets of
Brooklyn. Fourteen of downtown NYC's most notorious nightlife lurkers
and DJs get together to do absolutely nothing.

Of the Rocksmith Fall looks featured in this commercial, some of the
highlights include the Mic Check Reversible Vest and Flannel with
leather detailing. The black Backwoods leather-and-french terry hoodie
ties in directly with the patent-and-duck cloth Brooklyn fitted. Two
graphic crew necks are featured—the Daftrock and Tokyo Megamix, which
feature the standard Rocksmith front pocket. The Rock Solid Chino
pants balance out V-neck teas, such as the Getto OG and Shaolin V-
neck, worn under the General Steele sweater cardigan.
