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

[CeLLaR-DooR]

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.

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

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.

Yeah I knew it niggas hate providin' evidence.

I don't kno' what people are talkin' about when they say niggas act like this the first conscious album. Sincerely, I don't.

If it appears as tho' this album is bein' discussed more than say a Common or Nas conscious album, its because Jay has a much higher profile in the mainstream.

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.

You got any examples?

You can go through the topic and read for yourself. Someone basically said the album is already a classic because Jay is 50 and he dropped real knowledge in his lyrics. We really going to act like that's not "acting like Jay has done something profound."

 

[power_wisdom]

Niggas have to remember in the 90s publication like the Source and XXL used to shit on underground artist and conscious artist who didn't sell, when it came down to rating them. Platinum artist got 4 mics for an average album while an underground artist got 3.5 for a classic. So people are aware of the favoritism that existed. And they're going to call out the bullshit now, because they have a voice via the internet. It's not that people don't like Jay-z album. It's that other artist don't get the same amount of appreciation for work just as good or better.

 

[soul rattler]

Some of y'all hate it when people enjoy things. It must be so agonizing to see people happy about music.

Fact.

 

[Turfaholic]

Yeah the shits a good album. First The Story Of OJ was my favorite. Then it was 4:44. Now it's Through Their Eyes. I've heard most of Hov albums. This is the one I enjoy most.

Nobody saying or acting like it's new tho ppl are saying it's dope and giving the reasons why it's dope... Nobody has said they've never heard what Jay is talking about B4 they've said I've never heard this from JAY in this manner so ppl are acknowledging this is new from Jay but y'all want ppl to give other rappers credit for Jay album instead of giving Jay the credit I don't get it
