Jay-Z - 4:44 (June 30,2017) Album • Page 5

NSFW

 

I think Vol 1 is highly underrated and better as a whole than Vol 2. Unfortunately, Sunshine and (especially) I Know What Girls Like really disrupt the flow of the album.

Use "Sprint" as the code and get a free legal download of the album without having tidal!

 

Vol.2 is just so long. There's one hell of a single album in there, but like most double albums (for me), the two hour commitment isn't worth it.

 

You're thinking of The Blueprint 2

 

Haha shit you're absolutely right. My bad!

 

Damn...

Hate to see that.

 

Damn, if TIDAL really didn't pay him then that's pretty fucked

 

I have posted about this album in the Hip Hop thread before, so I'll just repeat it here: 4:44 is amazing. Really, really good. It's exactly what I wanted from Jay. It's my favorite relesse of his since The Black Album.

I don't understand some of the backlash the production is getting. I think it's great and exactly what this album needed. No I.D. is a genious. There is also a lot of praise for the production out there though so apparently it's divisive.

Also, this is great:

 

Anybody else able to do this? Every time I click the link it just redirects me back to the tidal homepage : (

 

I think they fixed it. I don't think it was supposed to be available to everyone, haha.

 

Not working for me either.

 

Jay definitely sounds conversational here. The lyrics aren't bad (although I side-eyed that line in "The Story of OJ" pretty hard). I just think it's funny how mismatched the energy feels here...the beats are at like, a 9, and Jay sounds like he's at a 6 lol

Regardless, this is good and will probably continue to grow on me. That "Smile" beat is pure sunshine

 

Watch JAY-Z's 'Footnotes of 'The Story of O.J." featuring Kendrick Lamar & Will Smith

 

lol Snoop

 

Gave this a second listen today and I think it's a really great album.

 

take my opinion with a grain of salt considering I just listened to my first full jay z album last month (reasonable doubt), but I love this. The length of the album makes for perfect listening. His lyrics are on point pretty much through the whole thing.

 

4:44 went platinum already

 

Sprint probably bought the million

 

No, that was how the Samsung deal worked though

 

Ok I'll admit it - this album is p good

 

Jay's like my #2 of all time and I love it too. Probably number four on my list of favorite Jay Z albums, which doesn't sound impressive, but it is, haha.

 

I'm enjoying it a lot too. Jay has been one of my favorite rappers since The Blueprint came out. I'll admit that most of his albums have some filler on them, but I enjoy the majority of all of them.

It's too early for me to properly place this, but it's definitely in the top half of his discography. Behind RD, Blueprint, Black Album, and American Gangster for sure, but might sit solidly at number 5.

 

I want to take this opportunity to say Streets Is Watching is an underrated Jay Z album that isn't actually a Jay Z album
