OUT NOW Jay-Z 4:44 Album Discussion Thread

[JUDAH]

Need a flag or a WTF reaction ASAP.

Why tho?

I haven't listened yet, but with the success of Kendrick last two albums that have been labeled "conscious", you don't think it's a coincidence?

 

[Chicity]

I fuck with ross, but he aint ever spit like Hov did on marcy me or had the content that's on 4:44

I agree lyrically but sonically RYTM is nice as fuck

And Ross stepped his bars up to me on that joint

RYTM = 4:44 (off first listen)

 

[Goldie]

Surprised there's not more headlines about jay admitting he was cheating on beyonce.

 

[Joshie Kahn]

Nah, Jay been leaning conscious heavy since WTT

It's the only natural evolution for him

What's your favorite episode of Power?

Exactly shut yo goofy ass up your opinion is now invalid

 

[Judge Dread]

Ok you know this is not my area of expertise anymore. But this is for lack of a better term an adult rap album compared to what is on the radio( don't listen to that much tho or what I hear when I am out in a non roots setting) Can't say I will be listening to it everyday or all day but I appreciated the work he put in. But again I am closer to Cain's age( just know he is above 40) than I am to anyone that is 30 or younger.

The ones when Naturi is nekkid

 

[Goldie]

Jay always sprinkled jewels in his music. But he's never made a full fledged conscious album. I only can think of a few full songs.

Listen to Murder To Excellence
Listen to Primetime

Hell listen to WTT in entirety

I think Cole and Kenny simply made it cool again to rap about shit other than material things and dope ala College Dropout. I wouldn't say there's resurgence in the conscious movement gonna need a cope more projects and acts to follow

It used to be that the last song on his early albums were if not conscious at least thoughtful. Have not listened to them in a while but I think I am right.
