JAY-Z ~ 4:44 (Discussion Thread)

[Alexander The Great]

Hov was struggling to find his pocket on Smile, but the bars make up for it.

Sonically and flow wise, Smile is the weakest song for me... but damn, I've already spun this twice and going on the 3rd spin right now


I literally am sitting here rewinding shyt back and playing it back. I haven't done this like this in years

he spitting some of the realest shyt on Smile

 

[Barney Rubble]

I was afraid of what direction he might take on this album. I should have never doubted the Gawd

 

[King Jove]

Trap shyt is cool but classic hip-hop beats and live instrumentation works in any era.

 

[Zero]

[GoldenGlove]

Old nikkas never accepted me
New nikkas is the reason I stopped drinking Dos Equis

Hov spitting the hardest since maybe Vol. 3 I'd say...?

Can someone explain the 'Ye bars about $20 mill?

 

[BadBoy]

where the fukk is adnis

 

[iamduval]

Listening to this for the 2nd time straight with a big ass grin....i should be fukking sleep

I was listening to smile on the road and I literally couldn't stop grinning when he blacked out on that 3rd verse



We havent heard hov black in a WHILE.. he did it 3 different times on this album

 

[King Jove]

Breh cheated on Beyoncé and got her singing on a song about cheating on Beyoncé

 

[Zero]

Mane, fukk Magna Carta after this release. As a Chicago native, this album is just incredible. Based on the NO I.D. production alone.

It's like I'm hearing a Jigga album and a Common album at the same time. Why I say Common album? Because Jigga took a page out of his book by putting Gloria Carter on the end of the song reciting shyt just like Common's dad (RIP) Lonnie did on his albums.

AND the album is 10 tracks on some Illmatic shyt........Jigga know what's he's doing 4real this time, mane.

He's really rhyming like Common Sense

 

[GoldenGlove]

2017 and n*ggas STILL don't know how to get music "free" :PlaneMelo:

2017 nikkas on forums don't know how to get music



I got a streaming service and still know how to get 'exclusives'... Who ARE these nikkas?

 

[Rigby.]

Man, I was sitting in the bed like 5 hours ago thinking "I dont reallly give a shyt bout music no more.....this reviewing shyt cool or whatever, but I aint got no PASSION in this shyt anymore."

S/o Hov for making a nikka care again Good night brehs
