444 was overwhelming majority about current issues
Do you think Hov doesn't want to drop another album because he's afraid his sales will brick?

85 is well worth it. Will do again. Hopefully summerslam have the same thing
Bro, we know you love Jay-Z, but, that was on the back on huge divorce/cheating drama and behind Beyonce's whole rollout.4:44 was basically the sequel.
I'm not one of those "Jay-Z is only Jay-Z because of who he's married to" types, but, a new Jay album ain't selling 250k-400k.

Who would he work with producer wise?
Nas has attempted to be “radio friendly” he’s just not as good at it as Jay Z. The fukk you think the trackmasters were on IWW for?
If these Jay Z albums haven’t ”stuck” what do you say about all these Nas albums that have completely bombed
You worrying about sales, while Nas has put out great albums
Because he knew it would flop.. just like his joint album with Beyonce

No two rappers ever promoted "sales" and "awards" as the metric for greatness more than Jay and 50..
That's why when Drake eventually passes Jay as the mainstream consensus for GOAT he only has himself to blame.

Hov has so many business ventures directly invested in his continued success that he will NEVER release a “flopped” album sales wise. He’s already shown what his blueprint is. Have a company purchase a million copies so he’s “Platinum” week 1 and gets simultaneous praise for both the music and the BUSINESS of the music.
Its quite ingenious really, can’t hate.
I think the reason he hasn’t dropped an album is because he hasn’t been INSPIRED to. Its really that simple. He’s at the point now where, similar to Nas, anything he releases is to further his legacy and run up the score. He’s not going to just drop some bullshyt for the hell of it

How Jay-Z's "4:44" went platinum instantly and why it's meaningless
When metrics shift and records are bought in bulk by corporations, a questionable honor becomes fully hollow

or he'll give out 1M albums again to cover up the fact he flopped even tho he had $20M worth of promo

First Jay released the Beyonce LP and then the Jay Electronica along with other features with Khaled. So it's not like he hasn't been doing anything. I think Jay-Z is too calculated to flop. You guys haven't been following his career if think he would ever flop at this point. Not happening. He will pick a specific date where it will lock him into the #1. Also the album will be Feature heavy. Probably some Youngin's, J. Cole will finally do a Jay-Z feature out of nowhere. There won't be any Tidal exclusives so it will be on all platforms. Also we do not know what other corporate deals or packages Hov will have for the album like he did with his last two. There might even be some Vets like Nas or someone. Also Jay was smart taking time off. It gives fans a chance to miss you. The other albums weren't really Jay-Z albums he was on. It's already been 6 years since 4:44. So he's given it a nice gap of time. With that said, I won't be shocked if we get another Beyonce joint LP. "Everything is Love 2". or something.
