JAY-Z ~ 4:44 (Discussion Thread)

[CrimsonTider]

I feel like him talking about he art investments he made back around mchg and how he quadrupled it's worth is a reminder off how nikkas like drake shytted on hov for talking about art

Plus that money to the ears we don't call that money over here shyt was a shot at all these new rappers including drake. The stripper shyt ala drake and his once affinity for giving strippers 50 bands

Owning your own masters and how nikkas still taking advances aka drake and various newer artists flashing how they building wealth yet still signed to the bigger fish meanwhile jay and his team building they own empire with tidal/roc nation etc

The first paragraph Jay is trying to change the narrative

He was using those Art bars as a another way to Brag not as an educational tool.

Jay was on some " I'm on some rich shyt, nikkas not on this level"

And for the rest of this post Drake said it best

" you didn't own it right away you had to wait on nikkas and I'm only 29 have some patience with us"

Let these young nikkas fail and figure it out like you did

Mad he didnt release the adnis joint

 

[Mr210]

I have sprint...how do I get this album?

 

[vampire xtc]

The flow talk is pointless and mentioning his age when his guest spots like on drug dealer with push it was great


He intentionally flowed this way

I'll admit didn't expect him to switch the flow up which is why I think everyone like wtf with ththe flow

But I'm use to it now shyt sounds exceptional

 

[NoHalfWay]

They blood money, I giggle at it
Can't even support my Mrs.' habit

Hov went conscious but still stunting on nikkas

 

[The ADD]

I don't even know what you'd had done. In the FUTURE, other nikkas playing football with your son.

That's one of the best things, he's adding some layers without losing his essence. The comedy, stunting and on.

I'm glad that Jay-Z came through and brought back the purpose of rap, but students need to start becoming masters out here.

I feel like this album is bittersweet in that JayZ basically had to come through and lecture the masses. The same masses that continue to hand out passes. I felt like this project was more something needed as opposed to inspired. It feels like what if Watch the Throne 2 needed to be made without Kanye.

The internet is about to rinse this shyt and then it's going to be on to the next.

 

[Absolut da poet ®]
