JAY-Z ~ 4:44 (Discussion Thread)

[Tommy Sheppard]

Great album but it is overwhelmingly racist. And I'm scared to listen to it with my white friends so I canceled our planned listening party. We cant bop to this as a group.

4:44 verdict:
6/10 tracks were above average
The rest were meh.
Lyrically he is sharp on most tunes but the beats in most cases are not good enough.

Dude is getting massive critical acclaim from all over right now

Someone on twitter said

"Jay z gave us a TED talk over beats"

Lol

 

[2manyFCKNrappers]

It's either 1 starred or 5 starred. And all the 1 starring fakkits are bytch ass nikkas/cacs with no taste, soul or standards

people are overhyping it IMO as they do with jay projects. it's good, it's honest, it's him being age appropriate sans the euro hov we've gotten over the past decade. it's an album that will be better if you listen to on your own terms vs trying to be part of the twitter memes and hype that's going to accompany it in its first week.

This shyt is FAR from overhyped. It actually gets better with each listen

 

[dem bath salts]

Yeah, family feud my fav cut.
That what's better than 1 billionaire? 2, is resonating with my spirit Not enough for me to be doing well. Got get my fam and nikkas on the right track too.

This is vintage Jigga. If you don't like this album, go back to bumping that trash that is currently being released and packaged to the masses as hiphop. Hova is everything that is right about hiphop. He literally came from nothing and built an empire. Whether or not you like his music, you have to be an eternal hater to not respect his hustle. On top of that, he is one of the nicest emcees of all time.

Is their a visual album to this? If so how can I this

 

[BamdaDon]

I was ready to come in with earlier today had smile on repeat I'm living in them shadow realms that nikka mama talking about. But Not them rich nikka showdows either.

shyt might be a top jay album. I'll keep it real sometimes I just have to too much real shyt going on in my life to even appreciate a stupid rich, life is good type nikka. But this a dope album

Jay made his version of Resurrection. He finally felt secure enough to rhyme like Common Sense. Not Common. But Common Sense..

His best work since America Gangster.

No I.D. is the gawd.
