Ray Stultz Quit talking out your ass. Your comprehending skills are lacking. Only mature, thought provoking mindsets will understand 4:44. The Blueprint and 4:44 aren't comparable at all. They both are great.
Its one of his best. It shouldn't be compared to his other albums because it's different from those. It's in it's own lane. It's a classic album. Everything doesn't have to be a club banger. This is thought provoking music
That's what the art of music is ment to be, to express ones feelings and ideas. I agree that it's not the best album he's done musically but when you sit with it for a few days you find your self drawn in from the honesty and originality of its content.
Dame have been on this wave -black ownership, legacy etc for at-least 5-7 years ( publicly). We live in a bandwagon society. Now J is " deep" when again Dame , Nas etc been on this info and disseminating it for a while now.
kenyatta griggs. i really follow what you n dame be doing i fuck wit yall heavy bro... your take on jayz album got me confused.. i mean im all for not being biased in your comments, granted its ina humans nature to default because none of us are perfect. but the way jayz did his then brother dame as far as rockafella was concerned.. he never publicly or privatly for the matter admiting to scum bagging dame nor appologize to dame personally. this album was a perfect opportunity to do so, andddd nothing.. no disrespect big bro but i say fuck jayz 2pcac voice. peace bro
Camaro Kaiser Dame wouldn't have an issue with sun givin his take on the 444 album. And Jay never snaked Dame. Biggs said they got into Roca fella to make it big and sell it. That's what they did. Everybody went their separate ways after that. stop it..
I felt Jay Z needed a more conscious album like 4:44 in his discography. I began to think this way before I knew he was dropping 44 with the release and hype and videos of the movie All Eyes on Me/Tupac. With Tupac dead, everyone remembers his consciousness more than is gansta. It was then i thought of Jay being alive and hasn't produced any of that type of album nor came, as a great with anything that mirrors what the people want. 4:44 was a good album. I appreciated as a female but it wasn't jammed packed with jewels and knowledge. The beats and inspired songs are and were more touching.....Nina Simone etc.
I like the work you're putting out Kenyatta. Great stuff. Maybe writing out some of your comments before recording to would be better. You make some great points, but the ideas seem fragmented because they are improvised. One love. Peace! Upvoted!
yo kenyatta. you gave me good advice a while back and i applied it to my life and its helping me thanks bro. the shit i say bout yo comments aint personal just opinion bro. mabey thats the space youre coming from in this vid. thousand pardons if thatz the case
The album is weak and so many people talking about it like it's the Blueprint. F@$# outta here. There is nothing special about the album. It's okay. Blue rhyming is the best part about it.
Ronald Wilson How can it be an adult album if he's exaggerating and shit? For example, his ass couldn't have bought a building in dumbo, whether he had 2 million dollars or not at the time. That's not how shit works. And even if he couldn't buy in dumbo, then why doesn't he own a lot of shit in Bed Stuy? And don't give that silent partner bullshit, because we know this nigga would tell everybody he owns his old neighborhood. And is he being an adult by bragging about buying a million dollar piece of art? So, every adult should invest in art the stupid way? The smart adult way to invest in art is to dive into art culture, by visiting exhibits, studying different styles, researching up and coming artist and then buying a piece by an up and coming artist at a cheap price. So, guess what? After the up and coming artist becomes famous, then your piece of art will be a smart invest for MOST ADULTS. Most adults, regardless of age or race, do not have a million dollars to invest in a piece of art. And don't let me get started on him rapping about infidelity. Nigga, no man should EVER confess. Of course we have the side baby exception. But other than that, no man should EVER confess, under no circumstance should he tell on himself. Like, why don't you think we haven't heard and huge hits from Usher after Confessions? Don't nobody want to hear that BS. No grown should confess.
Remember this. jay-z(444) vs PRODIGY(333 666 999 tatooed on his neck). jay-z drops his album tha same week of PRODIGY'S(KING VULTURE)TRANSITION. jay-z(JAZ-O JR.) uses perception as his magic. Malachai York is JAZ-O and jay-z teacher. PRODIGY used to read Dr. Yorks books as a teenager. Check out GENESIS by PRODIGY on H.N.I.C. Guess who that song was about???
