JAY-Z ~ 4:44 (Discussion Thread)

[AlainLocke]

This ain't been true since the 80's, early 90's when the vast majority of artists were teens/21-22 and the fans were around the same age.

The most popular best selling rappers are 30, or above and everyone is a fan from 12 to 60.

Fred.

Best selling rappers are older because they have a chance to build a fanbase and mature as a commercially viable artist...


Hip Hop culture is led by the youth...nobody outchea is getting what is cool and what is hip and what is in from Nas...they get it from younger nikkas...


Jay Z and Nas and 2Chains ain't dictating what Hip Hop is currently is or will be 10 years from now.

And yeah older people are Hip Hop fans...my dad is a Hip Hop fan...and he ain't keeping up with the shyt whatsoever...he couldn't tell you shyt about a Lil Uzi or a Young Thug....

Hip Hop is for the young...and popularized and promoted by the young....

You sound like an idiot. Older people in general don't give a fukk what young artists are doing regardless of genre. You just wanted attention. Give dude no more.

And none of the nikkas you named is doing numbers like Hov, nas and chains

Not streaming, sales, tours, online followers. Not a damn thing

So they influence cool while not influencing anyone to listen to them. Awesome

Then how come the young aren't stepping their rhyming game up?

Wasn't this supposed to be like a movie or something?

I mean I'm looking forward to any new Jay but I'm confused on this whole shyt, we looking at a album coming?

Visual Album is everyone's guess.


Worked for Beyoncé might as well work for Hov.

Hasn't had a legit hit since 09. Just flopped with Beyoncé. Go collect SS already

Holy grail the single was #4 in the country and 4 times plat

Tom ford was plat

Beyoncé did catch a brick as on the run 2 only went gold


But all in all. You wrong. Cause there's about 10-15 other plaques between 09-15

 

[qnsfinest]

Jay is easily in my top 10, but his last few efforts have been beyond disappointing. But I have high hopes for this, it could easily be his American Gangster part 2.

Does anyone know if it's gonna be exclusively on tidal or will apple get it as well?

Just saw the commercial on tv. I hear his footsteps
