why is this jiggaboo time cartoon being used as imagery?

I think that I would have felt better about the usage of such provocative racial imagery if he didn't use a white director for it, bypassing Ryan Coogler, Hype, Benny Boom, Paris Barclay,
Spike Lee, Ava Duvernay, Malcolm Lee, John Singleton, Carl Franklin, Kevin Bray, etc.

After weeks of hints, teases, trailers, and promos, JAY-Z has dropped his latest album “4:44” — available only on streaming service Tidal — along with a much-hyped visual accompaniment in the form of an animated music video directed by the rapper and Mark Romanek.

While expectations long held that JAY-Z would deliver a full visual album to match the new album, likely drawing inspiration from his own wife Beyonce’s work on her lauded “Lemonade,” a lush and compelling visual album that accompanied her latest album while standing magnificently on its own, the result appears to be something much slimmer and more traditional.

Did u even listen to the lyrics? :dead:

He telling u in the song
Crackas will never view u as nothing but a nikka no matter who u are
Then used imagery to prove it
Which is the way they portrayed nikkas in cartoons

So these new nikkas will realize the fake props they get now don't mean shyt from whitey

@Wallychamp @LEE Everyday

Wasn't a knock on Jay's work here, nor an unneeded comparison (E-40 vs Rakim: who betta??)

What I meant are two things, to get it clear:

1 Jay hops on a lane he isn't really suited for because it's hot righ now (racism, crimes against blacks, Get Out movie, Kendrick among others putting popular work out including these issues)

2 we all know he don't really care. Dude lives the most luxurious lavish life not giving a fukk about you lil nikkas in here

Breh are you aware of all the things Jay has done as far as charities, programs and giving back since he's been rich?

he's been involved when it comes black social matters and black youth... to say he doesn't care is just plain ridiculous or you're highly misinformed... but you feel how you feel... :yeshrug:

Jay rapped a lot about hustling and i loved those songs. Great to see him switch it up a bit cause i felt like the hustling thing was a bit outplayed by him. But than it's his persona. Jay was the ultimate hustler when he came out with Reasonable Doubt.
He rapped about hustling in this song too tho

It's unbelievable people actually don't get the basic concept to the video... :what:
