Seems like another war is in the air as punk rocker John Lyndon has launched an attack against hip-hop mogul, Jay-Z. Quoting NME.com, Aceshowbiz said that Jay-Z is just ‘non-sense’ referring to the book Beyonce’s husband has written.

Jay-Z's book, Decoded, described by the Telegraph as a ‘classily produced mash-up of memoir, lyrical analysis and coffee-table art book', tells Jay-Z’s ‘gripping’ story. It describes how a small-time drug dealer like Jay-Z turned out fine and has made himself a multimillionaire rapper and entrepreneur.

And this is the kind of work former Sex Pistol’s frontman refers to as a ‘parody’ of his own book, Mr Rotten's Scrapbook. The rocker’s book highlighted the one-time punk’s music career, containing pictures with his handwritten commentary representing his life in the industry.

“This is my book. It is a scrapbook. It has pictures and writings and x-rays. It has people in it. People that have had an effect on my life, but not all the people, because there are too many to ever catalogue,” he was quoted as saying by Gibson.com. “I would like to thank everyone I ever met and anyone I don’t remember. In fact, I would like to thank anyone.”

Except Jay-Z. The hip-hop artist is certainly not included in Lyndon's thank -you list.

"I'm afraid what he does is parody to me. Jay-Z's just nonsense." Lyndon told NME.com., insisting that he is not a fan of Jay-Z and has no interest in reading the work of his upcoming nemesis.

Decoded and Mr. Rotten’s Scrapbook are now competing for the Best Book at the U.K.'s upcoming NME Awards, said NME.com.

Lyndon recognizes however, that he may be ‘passing judgment blindly’ because he and Jay-Z has not seen the hitmaker of the single, “Empire State of Mind”, in the flesh. He said: “I’ve never met him”.

But Lyndon and Jay-Z are not the only two hopefuls for the upcoming NME awards. They are also racing with Carl Barat's "Threepenny Memoir", Keith Richards' "Life" and Russell Brand's "My Booky Wook 2".
