Almost universally seen and associated with O

Pulled that 7 day shyt out of thin air like no one would notice these idiots need to stop

Most probably to do with his baby twins.

If Jay is flowing like he was on Drug Dealer's Anonymous then we might have something special.

14 year drug dealer and still counting
Who deserves the medal of freedom is my accountant

The news reporter that called you a 14-year drug dealer, this was the inspiration behind it. Here’s my verse. I left some extra beat for you. Let me know what you think either way.

Man, there’s nothing wrong with telling ghost stories. We need them. We love them. We love these things.

Drug Dealers Anonymous was Father & Son on a track

I guess that was mainly because of Jay Z and not the god damn hype machine that has become DJ Khaled
Nah, the guy that can make his fukking baby one of the top 10 most notable people in a year and make THE PROCESS OF RECEIVING VOCALS a social event & relevant, he wasn't the main factor of how big that hit was

Did you think about what you typed? You considered that a song that has Future Hendrix and DJ Khaled was popular in 2017 more so because of Jay Z? I mean at the very best, he'd have a close minority stake maybe, but to insinuate he was the leading reason at all...that's just comical

Y'all nikkas actually think people listen to songs for dj Khaled

 

[Roxx the King]

So this is really a Jay album?

 

[REAL6]

 

[Captain Crunch]

Will this be accessible on other streaming services not named Tidal?

Probably not i'm thinking it will be similar to Lemonade, you can buy it elsewhere but only stream it on Tidal.

 

[The Mad Titan]

A random Jay album?

Funny I was just saying how Jay probably is done with albums. He'd literally be the oldest "main stream" rapper doing it now.
