Business mogul Jay-Z has gone from the Marcy projects to sold-out shows worldwide, numerous number one albums, starting a couple labels, and most recently, a New York Times best-selling book and complimentary iPhone app. In this clip, a bonus video found with the purchase of the Decoded iPhone app, Jay-Z explains his surroundings as a kid amongst crack fiends and murderers, and details how his rap style emerged and evolved with time. Judging by the reviews for the iPhone and iPad application, we can tell he's a hustler. We never even questioned it.
