Jay Z's Career from 2006-2025 Has Been a Major Disappointment.

[Mike Wins]

So aside from cheating on his wife and his mom being gay there was nothing he talked about on this album that he hasn’t covered before(Racism, entrepreneurship, family, hustling etc)

And the Producer that helmed the album is a guy he used 15 years prior.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Jay stans on this very board said they never thought about investing or finances until he gave them a million dollars worth of game for $9.99 on 4:44

Tbh I’d take the dinner with Jay Z

 

[CP3.]

4:44 is a great album IMO. Marcy, Marcy Meeeee

Don't care for the rest of them tbh.

Till this day the only people I know who claim 4:44 is great live on this forum. More mature doesn’t equal a great album.

 

[BlueHeffner]

Nasir stanleys yall

How was 4:44 a mediocre album that aged poorly lmao?

copied the concept from Nas, I had talk/whisper rap hov.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

And 99% of his peers from that era washed out or haven’t had a song or verse people cared about in ages

Why would Big be different?

Jay is anomaly breh

Go find me a lyrically respected rapper whose first two albums were multi platinum commercial and critical successes with a star understudy who magically fell off.

 

[GunRanger]

A classic with zero classic rap songs verses or lines?

Rare
Nas is Good
The Pressure





Nas said it best and it made me think of Jay:

Now y'all woke, I'm laughing at nikkas
Y'all used to say, "Nas talking that anti-establishment business"
Look at my settlement cases, gave they asses some stitches



Nas did everything on that album Jay has been trying to do as a "grown businessman" but better.

Nas created the concept of making personal rap albums in your late 30s/early 40s?

I took Jigga man serious on Black Album when he rapped: "What more can I say? You heard it all"

This is true too lol. Main point is no one talks about that album.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

@Cladyclad duckin this bloodbath

 

[Shadow King]

Lol don’t believe it

As a young Millennial I absolutely believe it.

You’re 100% right

Just checked myself

Run this town, Empire State of mind, and forever young carried BP3

Same Way that Justin Timberlake song carried Magna Carta

Those albums are not or will ever be good

You're your own person. You don't speak for all 90s born people.
