4:44 Album - *JAY-Z* (06/30/17).

[Breezy_Kilroy]

Idk why people care so much. Fuck the "system"

Not even just Jay but I've seen niggas complain about streaming and how it relates to sales and they get upset about it. Why?

I remember Outkast went diamond because it was a double album and niggas was like it doesn't count. Congrats to the them fuck the system.

Outkast still had to get niggas to physically purchase the double album. Jay is Mr. "Numbers don't lie" and he is literally cutting corners to get numbers. Sprint who is invested in tidal essentially paid Jay Z to go plat. You know damn well if some white artist did this and was going head to head with a kendrick niggas would be outraged.

People suspected Birdman bought Cash Money albums. Jay literally took the entire samsung customer base (and now sprint) and then had those companies pay him to go platinum. Fuck the RIAA "if the public shows demand" bullshit. This is cheating plain and simple. But support black business lmao.

Here’s an idea. Let’s get back to discussing the content and artistry and stop bickering about white people accolades.

haven't heard a bad song yet....if i had to choose...maybe Moonlight is the least likable track on here to me....the album is short and concise...beats are banging....content is worth a conversation....Jay got another one

He is trying to dick ride the new wave but the new wave is not moving units and packing stadiums like his own prime. And these new fans is not fucking with 50 at all no matter what mumble rapper he throws on a hook. He would be better off reinventing himself as a mature rapper instead of living a second childhood.

I would fuck with 50 if he finally took off the bulletproof vest and bared his soul.

Jay can't win for shit, if jay was rapping about the same shit he did on vol 2,niggas will be like "he too old for that shit" or "jay rap about the same shit" like Some people did for drug dealer anonymous when that came out but instead he dropped a grown man album and inspiring shit and some people still find a way to complain. If you a real fan of the genre you should appreciate when a artist drop quality shit that they feel. How can so many so called fans be mad at that

Honestly, it's a battle between dickriders and haters. It ain't even just with Jay. This happens in music, sports, etc... Basically, a dickrider will make a stupid over the top claim. Then a hater will feel the need to say something equally stupid and over the top to refute the first claim. It ends up with a battle between the two sides. There are reasonable people that don't get caught up in all that though. And there is no reason to exaggerate the significance of this. Jay already went platinum so obviously he can win.

You already know what it is.

Like somebody else said in another thread..."sometimes it feels like I'm playing for the losing team"....smh.

I agree 100%. I think he's afraid that the perception and the image he created would change. I think that's how 50 really is but we know just as humans that there is another side.

I've seen it in here many times over in this very thread. "Jay is just riding the conscious wave"

No he sounds like a man that's been through some real life shit and has 3 kids.

We don't allow growth or truly want it. We claim we want substance but turn around and call a nigga a hypocrite. Like that's crazy to me.

"Jay created balling and flaunted his wealth too. He's fake"

Yeah he was also in his late 20s too. If he was still on that at 40+ he would look and sound foolish. It's hard to judge anyone for what they did 20 years ago.

Rappers have the most influence on these young niggas and 30-40 year olds in their second childhood. Nevermind that jay profited but if his music gets people to be more respinsible, why be upset with that? If it was your favorite rapper would you niggas accept the message a little better? Yes other artist been saying the same shit for years but most niggas aint listening to conscious rappers and the Chuck Ds of the world and niggas definitely not looking at their surrounds like i need to do better to get out of this bad situation. Crack babies crack babies era full of ignorance
