Veteran
He has rapped about social issues before BUT NEVER with conviction. It used to be his weakest shyt when he tried to go that route.
This album you can tell it's his whole mind state is on that page. It doesn't come off forced at all.
After the disappointing MCHG I was done with Jay and I was completely fine with that since his past work has a lot of material I can keep on listening to.
But this is convincing me to give the new album a listen
Spotify been really good to me though and I don't know if one album makes me want to switch. Is he selling a CD version?

Because artists like Lupe, Kendrick, J.cole and Joey Badass brought it out of him to do it.
But you right better late than never.

In-f-ckin-credible visual!

What the fukk. Jay sounds totally rejuvenated, he hasn't sounded this good in like a decade and a half. And that's not even touching the content 
Or the production
Honestly this totally blindsided me. Gotta go listen to this new album immediately

R.I.P. Kobe and Nip, that’s off the rip
For real. I would just get the album in CD or iTunes and be done with it. Spotify here to stay.After the disappointing MCHG I was done with Jay and I was completely fine with that since his past work has a lot of material I can keep on listening to.

Not Cancelling my Apple Music because I get a student discount, but I do support this, and Tidal as a platform has finally matured to a solid app so I`m def going to go ahead and get a legit account.
Can't listen to album during the exclusive period. I downloaded it this morning to listen.
Some people can never be satisfied. 
Personally, I feel that this comes across as more powerful now that Jay-Z is older and closer to 'the end' of his career. He just got inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, is about to be 3 kids deep, married to a pop icon, with his hand in all sorts of financial investments while being one of the most influential artists to transcend multiple eras.
There's a thread a mile-long from LAST week because Jay (a guy who barely uses social media) tweeted a NAME to give an artist props and people felt the need to analyze that. That's the kind of influence and mystique that a younger Jay-Z wouldn't have had.
The past decade has been hard and this year is starting out ROUGH all over again. Yes, you've got conscious rappers that address this, but it's deeper than a competition about who did it first or who it better. It's about Jay-Z going, "That's absolutely right, and I can definitely confirm this because of where I am now. Know what? Here's what else..."
It comes across as sage advice and OG tales. Much more intriguing now, IMO.
