On this day 5 years ago, Jay Z released his 4:44 Album

[Budda]

Bruh, I survived readin' guys like you
I'm surprised y'all think you can disguise y'all truths
I seen eyes wide as they're about to shoot
You can be a hairpin, off and you can trigger your roots
I wave to these haters, don't give me dap
You know the world can see just how phony you act, bruh
Y'all body language is all remedial
How could you see the difference between you and I?
My crash course was much tougher
Round friends who kill they friends
Then hug their friends' mothers
And show up at the funeral, complete with blank stares
Invisible ink, I had to read things that wasn't there
Memories may sneak down my cheek
But I could see a side-eye in my sleep

Hov is an elite lyricist.

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

[Switch]

[ReasonableMatic]

TyTy jumped over nikkas, he’s like 5’6”
Got the heart of a Giant, don’t you EVER forget

[Da King]

All time corny “deep” album from the ultimate hypocrite

 

[I'm Blackman]

All time corny “deep” album from the ultimate hypocrite

i wonder what the subject matter of his next album will be.

 

[Iverson_64]

i wonder what the subject matter of his next album will be.

It might tie into his next movie project and be about Black Cowboys and each song will be Western themed and be an allegory for Black issues today.

And the album will be named "Guns & Roses"(after the BP2 song).

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Never forget when this album came out my daughter had just turned one and I was viewing life and family through a whole new prism. Not gonna say any corny shyt about influence or anything but it definitely hit me a certain way at that point.
Classic in my eyes and the tour was great too.

Hov Stans are embarrassing

Exhbit: 632

This album never clicked for me.
I always thought it was disrespectful that he dropped it right after Prodigy died. He should have pushed it back a few months. Maybe even to 2018. I didn’t really even listen to it until 2018 because I played nothing but Mobb Deep for months.

RIP Prodigy

 

[Sauce Dab]

That was a good ass album. Arguably top 3 Jay album

At least. You think it should have been a full year?
