JAY-Z ~ 4:44 (Discussion Thread)

[T.he I.nformant]

I am really likening Moonlight..

I may be be reaching..

But man...

..Is Jay taking shots at Ye on the first couple bars?

"I know Killer's
You know Killa, Huh."

Then 2 or so bars after..

"Stop walking around like you made thriller, huh."

Yeah that's clearly at Kanye.. One of several shots on the album..

Yeah, the Thriller line confirmed it for me especially since Chris Rock's silly ass said MBDTF was better than Thriller. Probably had Kanye walking round like he was really really that nikka.

Chris Rock says Kanye West's 'Dark Twisted Fantasy' is better than 'Thriller' | theGrio

Have you seen the Documentary Fade To Black? They show Hov recording 99 Problems and some of Allure and Dirt Of Your Shoulders and it's exactly how @AkaDemiK said it

Can you read simple English?

Victory Freestyle or Banks Workout???

Why weren't you in that thread or any of the other countless threads that refers to writtens as "freestyles", policing the term?

 

[avon barksdale]

I thought that last one was a shot at Drake

It was a shot at Kanye when kanye said dont send your killers at me when he was going off that rant on stage

Yep


I meant the "You acting like you made Thriller" line.

Drake's been doing a lot of taking in recent years about being seen as this iconic MC with classic songs, verses, and albums under his belt. Plus the sales success of Views has him
thinking that he belongs in the upper echelon.


I took that line as Jay telling Drake that musically speaking he hasn't accomplished NEAR what he thinks he has. Ghostwriters and all

Right

Homie got straight up in his feelings over a simple explanation of Hov's studio recording process. Everybody and they momma knows that Jay can spit off the dome with the best of them if he wants to. That's just not exactly how he records his albums...

 

[Hoodoo Child]

All I'mma say is, this album was needed.

No actually you're in your feelings over a simple question and you're looking for consolation in that other geek's arms. I was not debating Jay's writing process when you quoted me interjecting your lame ass in my exchange with someone else.

99 Problems HAD to be punched in, he was doing different characters.

Dirt Off Your Shoulders, it was an unreleased verse that was shown, before the last verse. And that wasn't a 1-2 bar punch-in either.

The recording of Jay's Allure verse wasn't shown, just Pharrell playing him the beat.
