Dope album by someone who came up and, perhaps lately, is tryna give niggas some knowledge and man would rather talk about outside negative shit.

Only cah its Jay.

I think it's time we all stopped that man same with Puff and Dre.
 
This is what separates Jay from the rest- that man is a business man. Respect. Call it cheat code, networking, partnering with others to build your brand, being your own master, understanding that you are the talent and working hard, understanding basic economics, supply and demand. I've grown to respect that. And on top of that, delivering quality music. He (and Nas) represents Black excellence. The Money and The Message. They are both coming closer to the middle.
 
I don't like the production on this one. Sounds like the DJ took 4 bars of a sample, chopped up each bar, then mismatched them into a loop. That or threw some weird multi-fxs that warp each bar. Fucked up as dude has some good samples, especially that Legacy joint. Jay Z and older rappers like him are pretty much the set standard. It's their beats that make or break the album for me now, so I ain't fuckin with it.

That what No ID was going for four bar loops.

That Rolling Stone interview with No ID should be read by everyone interested in this album...
 
Gotta say, 4:44 is easily my least fav song

Lotta he could have done with it but it came off as a lazy half assed apology(?)/bearing his soul moment

The production cool but not enough to carry it

Coupled with the video it's down right bad. Not to the point of skipping it yet but I don't pay attention to it once it's on
