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

[power_wisdom]

Lol a lot of people grew up with jay z and jaz on here

He lived and went to highschool in my city. Two of my cousin knew him. One ran with him tough. I heard stories.

Y'all wildin calling this album a classic already. I think because there's so much garbage rap, anytime someone puts out a decent album people lose their mind and hype it more than it should be. This is a GOOD album, a lot of grown man rap, but classic!? FOH...RD,Blueprint, Black Album, AG, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2>>>>4:44

If it's a classic 5 years from now, then it's a classic today. But I understand what you are saying. But I think it's better than Vol 2 and Black album.

nope

Nope what?

better than vol 2 & black album

You crazy as hell.

4:44> TBA and Vol2. Production and content alone kills both those albums.

Never understood the hype of that album. It had different sounding production. But it wasn't mind blowing. And for a introspective album, it wasn't that deep. Lyrically it was ok. Not his best. And only a few songs were super dope to me. Plus it's nothing he said it'll would be.

Production was dope. He got that from Common. Content was refreshing. And it was about time. Nigga like Common, Nas and others been making albums with substance and themes for decades. But 4:44 a really dope album regardless.

I don't understand that either.... Jay isn't the first rapper to make a conscious album ok and??? If it doesn't take away from the album being dope what's the point in saying this

 

[soul rattler]

It's because it's Jay Z.

Jay isn't allowed to just be successful, he must be illuminati.

Jay isn't allowed to have business acumen, he must have snaked Dame Dash.

Jay isn't allowed to be a great rapper, he must be stolen all of his raps from Biggie.

Jay isn't allowed to have true form hip hop production or speaking on social or economic issues, he must be copying Nas and Common.

Nigga can't even just marry Beyonce and have kids, he must have gotten her with money and the kids must belong to the bodyguard or some shit.

This goes back to what I said before. People don't really want to attack Jay. They really want to attack people who say or imply stupid shit about Jay. It's not a knock against Jay that he isn't the first rapper to make a conscious album, but it is a response to everyone acting like Jay has done something profound and new by making an album like this.

 

[Ree4er Madness]

I'm still listening to this album every day from start to finish. Smile is my favorite but I don't have to skip any songs.

Don't get your thongs in a bunch. I was responding to what someone said to me by "fixing" my post that wasn't even about 4:44. It was about the TBA . But what he said did have some valid points. The question is why you acting all sensitive about it? You didn't even read the post in the proper context. Ya'll sound like stans. I love the album. But even people outside of Hip-Hop, black intellectuals have question the over exaggeration of people saying how conscious the album is. I myself have no problem with the album. It was long over due.

4:44> TBA and Vol2. Production and content alone kills both those albums.

Niggas will fight u about their allegiance to The Black Album

I don't understand the hype of 4:44. It has a different sounding production. But its not mind blowing. And for an introspective album, it is not that deep. Lyrically its ok. Not his best. And only a few songs are super dope to me. Plus Nas gave him this style that he's running with.

Fixed.

Production was dope. He got that from Common. Content was refreshing. And it was about time. Nigga like Common, Nas and others been making albums with substance and themes for decades. But 4:44 a really dope album regardless.

So what? Why do people keep sayin' this. No one is sayin' Jig is the first person to make a conscious album

I don't understand that either.... Jay isn't the first rapper to make a conscious album ok and??? If it doesn't take away from the album being dope what's the point in saying this

Don't get your thongs in a bunch. I was responding to what someone said to me by "fixing" my post that wasn't even about 4:44. It was about the TBA . But what he said did have some valid points. The question is why you acting all sensitive about it? You didn't even read the post in the proper context. Ya'll sound like stans. I love the album. But even people outside of Hip-Hop, black intellectuals have question the over exaggeration of people saying how conscious the album is. I myself have no problem with the album. It was long over due.

Brudda all I'm askin' for is some examples of what your talkin' about

I'm not attacking the album, but you asked.

Ight but where are the niggas actin' like this is the first conscious album?

All you did was post vids of niggas makin' the same claim as you

Lol a lot of people grew up with jay z and jaz on here

He lived and went to highschool in my city. Two of my cousin knew him. One ran with him tough. I heard stories.

Y'all wildin calling this album a classic already. I think because there's so much garbage rap, anytime someone puts out a decent album people lose their mind and hype it more than it should be. This is a GOOD album, a lot of grown man rap, but classic!? FOH...RD,Blueprint, Black Album, AG, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2>>>>4:44

If it's a classic 5 years from now, then it's a classic today. But I understand what you are saying. But I think it's better than Vol 2 and Black album.

nope

Nope what?

better than vol 2 & black album

You crazy as hell.

Go to Facebook or Twitter. Hit the back button a couple of times on this thread. Come on bro you know some people take it to far. Like I said I like the album alot. Shits is classic material to me. But you got stan that say all kind of crazy shit. Look at how sensitive niggas was acting because they thought I attacked the album.

This just goes to show you that Jay fans hear something else when they listen to his music. Vol. 1 is one of the most boring albums I've heard from a big name. I mean, I don't think AG is a great album, but I can at least see how people like it. The last time I listened to Vol. 1, I spent the whole album wondering how Jay even made it big.

Million questions, streets is watching, friend or foe, imaginary player,where I'm from, lucky me and you must love me

Trying to be as far as I can. Here's how I rate the songs on that album.

Million Questions - 4

City is Mine - 4

I Know What Girls Like - 0

Imaginary Player - 2 (Not terrible, but boring to me)

Streets is Watching - 3

Friend or Foe 98 - 3

Lucky Me - 2 (Again not terrible, but boring to me)

Sunshine - 1

Who You Wit - 2

Face Off - 0

Real Niggas - 4.5

Rap Game/Crack Game - 3

Where I'm From - 4.5

You Must Love Me - 4

It's not like I think there are no good tracks. There is some heat, but there is just as much trash. And even with the songs I gave 3 too, I don't really like them all that much, but I can't say they are bad. It may just be a matter of taste, but that album is forgettable to me.
