Man, that Sample for 4:44 I cannot believe it is some white lady/band from England.
Since I have the free tidal sub, went and listen to their album. Holy fukk, it is pretty good. Dudes are going to be sampling the shyt out of it. How the fukk No id found this.

No. It’s amazing, the story of it, how it all came together is pretty hilarious. So I run the music department at the University of Winchester and every year we take one of our big choirs to somewhere else in the country and we do a big choir festival with loads of other universities. This year we were going up to Leads to sing the Salisbury Vespers and we were on our way up there and I got a phone call from my drummer and manager Jai saying “You’re not allowed to react. Where are you?”
I said, “I’m on a coach with 50 students…”
He’s like, “Okay. Jay-Z’s gonna call you.” And obviously when somebody says “Don’t react!” what do you do? You react. So I went absolutely mental—what the fukkin’ hell’s happening!??—and everybody looked round and then I was like “Oh it’s fine! Nothing to see here. It’s all fine!” So long story short, nothing happened for the next 24 hours and he didn’t phone me. I’m like “Oh forget about it, I’ll be fine. Whatever. It was a nice pipe dream. ”
Oh no!
Then Sunday when we were driving back on the same coach with the same people my phone rings, I don’t hear it ’cause it’s in my bag. So finally we get back to Winchester and I’ve got a text message from JAY-Z saying “Hi Hannah, it’s Jay here. Can you give me a call when you’ve got a moment so we can chat things over?” So I mean, at that point I just completely lost my shyt. [Laughter]
That 4:44 video, is kinda um, different.

I thought they tweaked the sample but nope, sounds just like the original
Should've kept the Jaybo cartoon theme for 4:44. But I ain't mad at it. Just mostly a bunch of viral internet videos mixed in with this girl and dude doing something I guess you can call it dancing 
I did like the part where Al Green was singing and showed Hov and Beyonce on stage that was nice

Did you see the runt as the front-runner
Leader of the pack
You see that in your youngin
What ancestors did you submit to the summit
To give me what I needed, what you need to take from 'em
The tsunamis that I swam in to become in
Had the cable with the anchor for the places that I sunk in
Unc in a better place but you couldn't function
Shot junkin' your arms more than your veins was punctured
I punted on the feelings, 'cause you said you was coming
You couldn't kick the habit, I wish you said something
You can't avenge these many sins with your own hands
You wanna make God laugh, just tell him your plans
Who would've thought I'd be the dad I never had
Be the husband I've become
You see, nothing come from that
I forgive you as I live through the beautiful present of the past
I'm just thankful that I get all these gifts to unwrap

His mind is elsewhere
3:23 of the sample blew my mind. I thought that shyt was sped up/tweaked or something when I heard it on 4:44, nope, just straight sampled. Insane.
