JAY-Z ~ 4:44 (Discussion Thread)

[NoChillJones]

I liked 8 out of 10 songs on here. didn't like "bam" or "moonlight" so much. I'm not a reggae fan, and did not like the damian marley project distant relatives back in the day either.

Breh BAM is one of the Hardest songs on the record........gotta listen to the lyrics....don't let the over used sample turn you off........its the sequel to PSA.....

My inbox is empty, can someone help me out here?

got you

 

[Harry B]

I know that. I was just responding to that post

I see what you're saying now.

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"

is that what you got from that? He clearly stating it was a great investment and something he's going to hand down to his children

 

[HDKG_]

Haven't listened yet..

can someone confirm it's only 10 tracks (just making sure I got the full deal)

yup 10

 

[JayGatsby]

the 4.44 song sounds so good in the whip!!!

You mishearing everything like jay said

After all they did to lauryn hill and still...

Hov did thatvso hopefully you ain't have to go through that. The same feeling he milling bout nearly 15 years later trying to tell the youth that you gotta take chances they still sucking from the tit of the higher ups instead of risking a bit to try and become a master. Why is cash money still an imprint on everything drake does after he saw and sees how they doing Wayne? That's what he's speaking on. Why y'all still taking advances? Look at what chance did and how is it nikkas still signing they lives away to labels?

Drake been in the game ten years and he is still signed to birdman I don't care how much they paying they not making pennies off he dollar. It's a reason why he has to drop an album every year and it isn't because he's the hottest solely. It's cause he stuck and they want to work his ass while he's hot.and yeah he bragged about buying he art like he was stunting but that's the point. Even when hov stunting it's in investments and things that appreciate in value meanwhile he's telling cats when you got to pawn off that chain and hey take your masters to the hills, we gone be in calabasas

And I don't think he's shytting on drake 100% but he's shytting on the tendencies of these young rappers and ballers still not thinking of the larger picture

Hov bought every v12 when he could have bought property in dumbo for 2 million and how it's worth 25 million. Hats a jewel for these young kids letting the Jewish community and white community dominate with generational wealth then the black community and it's young stars still glorifying shyt like chains strip clubs etc

Jay dropped an album every year for a decade.

What are you talking about?


Is Jayz deal with Live nation not an advance?

Jay the GOAT but don't act like he's coming down the mountain with 2 tablets on this album

definitely anorher Easter egg album where you won't find all the hidden jewels on the first few listens.

Wise men learn from their elders Dude's point

Nothing will learn you like experience

the only thing i was disappointed about on the album was Family Feud.
now the song turned out great...i just thought from the track name..Jay was about to go all in on the last days of Rocafella.

NO ID


MY FUHKIN GAWWWWWWWWWWWD

yeah, i was quite skeptical about him doing the whole album..haven't been a fan of his work lately.
but..hold my hands up and can admit i was wrong. he killed this album.

 

[CrimsonTider]

is that what you got from that? He clearly stating it was a great investment and something he's going to hand down to his children

Where did I deny that?

I said when he was first doing the art rap it wasn't about investments and appreciation it was about bragging

It only became that when the youngins said the bars were not relatable

Very solid project from jay , it would have been nice had 40 had a few beats on this album or fine tuned some of them

When are you going to use a classic sample on moonlight you better do a better job on the production

Some cats don't have to put their hand in the flame to know its hot because they listened when they were told that fire burns.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Jay is from the projects

Drake grew up with a white woman in Canada

Don't do this

I know Jay ain't spitting these bars to put someone like Drake up on game

I was just responding to a poster that wants to relate this stuff to him

Jay is speaking to dudes that made out like and him and have the money and opportunity to really build something
