JAY-Z ~ 4:44 (Discussion Thread)

[Chapter_BLK]

shyt could go platinum off the the tidal spins I gave this.
It is crazy, listening to old Jay stuff this week, the memories and what not(I was in HS when RD dropped). From "I would rather die enormous than live dormant" to "legacy" off this record. 1996 to 2017, hell of a run man.

I mean, I was listening to In My Lifetime a few days ago with Jay saying shyt like," fukk that weed, it keeps you broke--Invest in pounds of herb and profit if nikkas wanna smoke dope"
to saying the things on The Story of OJ (not like it's the first time he's said things like that, but still). Some bookends for a career if I've ever seen one.

Probably gonna be alternating between this and Life Is Good (I've been listening to it alot lately /shrug) at work.

LIG is nowhere near as good as this...and this isn't a Nas vs Jay thing but it's the truth. I never played LIG more than 3 times. I've played this album over 5 times in 12 hours

I wasn't making it a Jay vs Nas thing either...I wasn't even comparing these two albums lol, I was literally just saying Jay & Nas are the only two Elite MCs in the game that are still consistent after all these years.

Doesn't make sense how he's damn near 50 and making better music then 98 percent of these "hip hop" mofos out today.

AOTY and it's not even close. Kendrick did good with Damn. But you can clearly see who the master is and who the student is

Form is temporary, Class is permanent.

This and the Brother Ali album the best have heard this year so far, need to digest more before comparing.

All you had to say was Frank Ocean breh. The obsession with homosexuality is really unnecessary

 

[McPiff]

I was starting to think American Gangster was going to be the last real Jay album

Wish my homie was alive to hear this

Condolences breh

Will probably be updated with a proper master in the coming weeks. Some of these verses were definitely done in the last week or two.

yep that was obvious...not sure why this is going over people's heads ....HOV literally pulling a Pablo ...he'll be updating some shyt too
