The entire point of releasing singles is for them to catch on.why would any of the "singles" catch on
anyway, continue with your real agenda for this thread, you aint low
This is the same lazy
deflection from 49 year Olds upset that albums they like didn't have any staying power.
I don't agree with the first part.Good album but everything kind of comes and goes in this new era where we literally get dozens of new releases every month and we can stream them so it's not like we have to pay for each and every one.
That Kendrick didnt come and go though
Not to mention the antisemitic blow back, the acclaimed video, what!? Other than Damn, no other album got as much discussion, praise or adulation.
Charts are relevant, I'm sorry that your upset about the album and song not being relevant anymore.Charted? Is that the only language culture vultures know?
Nobody talked about it? Every other artist responded to the last line of the song.
"Y'all on the 'Gram holdin' money to your ear - There's a disconnect, we don't call that money over here."
Probably the most real response in herethe thing that made Jay Z great was
1. His ability to drop hit records consistently. From 96 - 2003 Jay Z dropped heat.
2. His ability to adapt to the times while maintaining a somewhat unique style.
After coming back from a 3 year hiatus, the times were changing. And while he still was able to make decent records, the demographics were changing.
Jay Z was never an introspective/social rapper. He may have dropped a song like "Song Cry" but that wasn't who he was.
4.44 wasn't shyt, but it honestly doesn't fit the brand he built and it doesn't fit into is collection of albums.The rap landscape has changed. This album won't be remembered in another 18 months.
Most people can't
Which is why for a week everybody pretended 4:44 was the best album ever because it was the new Jay album and everybody was listening to it and talking about itMost people can't
