JAY-Z ~ 4:44 (Discussion Thread)

[Hypris]

Love the album. This is the Jay-Z I want to hear in 2017. I'm glad he didn't try to sound like the current wave of new artists to fit in. No I.D came correct with the production.

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

Couldn't disagree more

LIG and 4:44 are both incredible works

He is crazy in tune to EVERYTHING that wasn't even a week ago

You literally made this line up

This gif perfectly describes my feelings after listening. Some cold shyt here. Grown man, honest, music. Jay in top form lyrically, and the production fits those lyrics. Can't complain about anything really

I've listened to it about 3 times already today, wanted to listen to it a few times before I gave my opinion.

I liked it, it wasn't great but definitely better than magna carter. I feel like he used Nas LIG template and tried to outdo it but that's not really Jays lane.

I felt like the album started off pretty weak but after Bam it picked up. I wasn't really feeling family feud and 4:44, but he killed marcy and moonlight. Clearly he took shots at these new rappers to come out within the past few yrs and I feel the same he does, I have no idea who is who anymore.

Solid solid album. I give it 4 mics

Jay shouting out Biggs needs to be noted.

Smile.

"Shout out to Hoffa back home, he in the church
When I heard you got booked, that shyt hurt
Feared for you, bro, we know the system don't work
Take a young nikkas freedom over some dirt
Yet it's legal in Colorado
Yeah, we deny
Black entrepreneurs, free enterprise"

Lyrically on this album, this is the Hov i've been begging for, for years.
yet production wise this album is ight. it ain't bad, but it ain't the best . the production on MCHG was impeccable, them beats on MCHG ,too bad Hov wasted them with his lifeless bars and empty flows.. Hov bars on Picasso baby.


DAMN is still album of the year for me>>
444 is still a good album tho.

 

[Idaeo]

this nikka making me go to Akihabra just to buy some decent headphones.

i can't disrespect this work with the shytty earbuds i got with me. got to get some sealed over the ear's to appreciate this

International Hov shytting on Augustin Legrand for no reason is hilarious to me for some reason. I know it was just the flow, but ol boy might join Isis after that.

There were like 4 good beats on there, 2 of which the songs were barely a minute long. Overall, that album was forgettable as hell

 

[Sauce Dab]

Playboi Carti for inspiring this album

 

[OG Talk]

He shytted on Drake, Kanye and Game with that Calabasas line..

That's becoming the LA suburb for "New Money" to keep them out of Bel Air and Beverly Hills..

That was his zipcode stunting version of the "4.0 vs 4.6 Range"

And also the nerve of Jigga to diss Kanye, one of two producers who help make his career what it is by providing classic beats. Jigga smartly rode the wave of Kanye enough to do an whole album but now Kanye kinda cooled off it's ok to diss him.

And Kanye did throw shots first but it was justified. I told jigga I did a song with Coldplay. Next thing I see He did a song with Coldplay....
