JAY-Z ~ 4:44 (Discussion Thread)

[HoLLaBaCK]

People in this thread trying to make it seem like Hov dropping an album isn't a big deal

There is a reason why a company would tie itself to a JAY Z release (sprint) and it's the same reason that Samsung did 2...because its a big deal. Now whether I like the product or not is a whole other story.

Young kids might not be hyped for it like say someone my age...they'll check it tho.

Damn I hope Jigga bout to drop some Blueprint like "take it back". I really don't want or need any Hov trying to do his rendition of whatever he thinks is going on right now. Just the thought that NO ID is doing the whole shyt has me hoping for the best.

 

[Insensitive]

I genuinely hope this album is dope as fukk and doesn't have the "Buy my old albums" vibe.
I'm all for artists growing and changing but I hope he comes hard on these tracks and reminds
heads how nice he really is.

I'm ready for this album release, I might even be able to see him this go around if he goes on tour.

Even tho 2chainz is old he is new. Chainz started blowing up in 2012

Its not about age its about tenure. Rappers have primes

No he wasn't, he was broke. He made more in 2012 then he did combining all the years kiln dtp(from his own mouth)

lmao broke? you really gonna type that he was broke even though he had gold albums out, and was featured on platinum albums? only on the coli breh, how old are you? and yeah he probably did make more in 2012, same way im sure you've made more this year than previous years combined, its called evolution

Bruh his moms and family was still living in the hood. He didn't have no money like that fam. U said he was rich, he wasn't tho. It's a difference from me upgrading in life by 10s of thousands and what he did.

State property was broke and they had good albums out, on multiple plat albums, had movies and clothing.

That's like thinking the random nikkaz in the st. Lunatics was rich.

im not an a$$hole so ill admit you're correct, however regardless of when he got his money he is old

same with kanye, he is old, and one of the most influencial

fact is... the youth don't really push the culture forward, its the old guys, kanye, jayz, 2chainz, jeezy, gucci mane, etc that push things forward.

I agree. I still listen to all eras

 

[DontEemTry]

nikkas really think young nikkas don't listen to Jay-Z?

shyt I'm always shocked at just how many little nikkas revere Hov. They might not know the whole catalog back to 96, but they stay checking for him.

And that has a lot to do with how he moves. Social media is the worst thing that ever happened to rappers. Legends lose a lot of their aura by revealing their corniness on twitter and instagram. Stay off that shyt and keep it mysterious. That's why every Hov/Nas album seems like an event.

Jay still needs gimmicks to sell ayeeeee

lmao you must be a child. and an obvious troll.
