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

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Yeah I'm glad the album has been so well received. I was skeptical about a new Jay album at first given his last few offerings, but he more than made up for those weed plates w/ this new joint. The only negative responses I've read were in the comment section of a Yahoo news article. It was the typical..."he's not a real musician"....."see how this low life drug dealer cheated on his wife"......"Jay is a racist/anti semitic"....."blah blah garbage, trashy nigger noise". Basically just a bunch of clueless/racist mfs whose opinions don't matter anyway.

Nuff of my boys are on some 'he's only doin' it coz it's popular' ting. Had a big argument about it yesterday.

Who knows. Jay is a smart dude, so I wouldn't put it past him. I think the album content is genuine and the timing is perfect. I'm sure Jay pays attention to the success of guys like Kendrick, how uncompromising and honest K-Dot is w/ his artistry and how the world has embraced and championed his music/message. Plus I think in general people are getting tired of the redundant, fake, cookie cutter, bland bullshit that has infested the rap culture. No better time than right now for an artist of Jay's caliber to create this type of album. I'll even go as far as saying that this album is essential to Jay's legacy given all that he's already accomplished and how guarded he's always been w/ his personal life. The album is grown. The messages are honest, introspective & real. The overall production is classic, smooth and flawless. Jay made an entire album w/o one track for radio and that shit is still amazing. Gotta give Hov props and respect for that.

Pretty much my exact thoughts

Mfs over there will quickly remind you that it don't matter how much money your black ass got got, how successful

your black ass is, how many businesses/teams/presidential friends/etc your black ass got........

Light nigga, dark nigga, faux nigga, real nigga

Rich nigga, poor nigga, house nigga, field nigga

Still nigga

Plus Hov been doing the most behind the scenes from freeing the protesters in Ferguson to donating to Mike Brown and Eric Garners family.

He even had a show speaking on police brutality against black people.

People just hate giving hov props

and produced a doc series on kalief browder.... plans on producing a trayvon martin doc as well

hard to argue that he is just riding a wave when he's putting in work

What are they saying is the popular thing? Talking about the cheating allegations?

Nah the black message thing. Try tell me he's too industry for it so it must be for money or sutten else. Like he's just ridin' the KDot and J Cole wave

Nah they're wrong. I get it's a popular topic but it's necessary.

If Jay came out in this climate talking that braggadocios shit, then people would get on him for not speaking about black issues.

Gtfoh. If Jay would've dropped a braggadocios album with the quality of BP. Nigga would've gotten no flack and the usual praise. Niggas would be screaming the same shit he spit on Bam. "Fuck all the pretty Shawn Carter shit, it's Hov!"

 

[Busta Carmichael]

Hov level subliminals on this joint. 50 caught a couple on Bam.

Nah thats a reach

Nah he did diss 50. Caught that on first listen

these fools

Who they EFFEN with, and we got FN's too

Before we had A&R's, we had AR's too

We the only ones really movin' like y'all say y'all do

We still movin' like y'all niggas say y'all did

Emory passed you niggas and he did a bid

Ty Ty jumped over niggas and he's like 5'6"

He's talking about 50. It's clear with the Effen line. And 50 been sending shots and him and puff like forever.

It's not a diss, just a bar. Now the shots he threw at Eric Benet was wack and unnecessary.
