JAY-Z ~ 4:44 (Discussion Thread)

[T.H.E. Goat]

This is going to end up being one of my favorite Jay-Z albums

The content is just real, grown man bars and he's still a beast with the lyrics

Plus the production is so soulful yet still modern

Should I listen ASAP or wait until the hype dies down? I honestly was good with giving Jay his GOAT/Top 5 status and letting him retire from my playlists after MCHG. I was okay with the possibility of never hearing new music from him again.
Anyone who isn't a total Jay-stan wanna weigh in with an objective opinion here? this is fire???

people are overhyping it IMO as they do with jay projects. it's good, it's honest, it's him being age appropriate sans the euro hov we've gotten over the past decade. it's an album that will be better if you listen to on your own terms vs trying to be part of the twitter memes and hype that's going to accompany it in its first week.

The glaring similarities of Afeni Shakur and Jay's mom are crazy

They look eerily similar

Song 4:44 is like the 2017 "Song Cry"

Was thinking the same thing

Heard some of one of these songs on the radio awhile ago. Don't know which on it is, but it sounded like some cold ass soulful shyt

Great album but it is overwhelmingly racist. And I'm scared to listen to it with my white friends so I canceled our planned listening party. We cant bop to this as a group.
