Aug 31, 2017 Jay released a very relevant album that literally showcases how every OG should present themselves in the modern day Mmlp2 has introspective aspects scattered throughout but it wasn't very good and didn't really have many highs
Aug 31, 2017 I think it's hard to say considering we don't know what direction he's going with the album and haven't heard a single.
Aug 31, 2017 Nope.... just because 4:44 was in the making a way way back in the day...with stories developing...and Eminem will rap about his slim shady persona, his boring life in his mansion, Jay-Z is living a wild life...as a billionarie man, beyonce's husband, cheater, ex d--- dealer, gangsta life... he has so much to talk about....
Aug 31, 2017 He's basically going to be doing the undertakers "gunslinger with a few left in the chamber" direction
Aug 31, 2017 Marshall got addiction, family issues, being a recluse, Kim and his love life, kids, politics ect to still dwelve into although he's done some topics to death
Aug 31, 2017 he has taken this topics waaaaaaaaaaaaaay further.... there's nothing to talk about..his wife is a normal regular b----.... hi's kids are grown... he is a uncle now...WTF? is this something a rapper needs to keep talking to fans? there are millions of drug addicteds in the world...nobody cares if he has relapsed again
Aug 31, 2017 It will probably be better in lyrics and entertainment. But it won't be better in cohesion and focus.
Aug 31, 2017 I really hope this is a more mature album. When he decides to do mature songs, they usually turn out to be amazing. I'm not sure how I feel about Jay-Z's album. It's good, but nothing amazing. He definitely went with the right content though. With that being said, Jay-Z said that 4:44 is probably the best song he has ever written, but after listening to it, it is a good content song, but it doesn't even hardly rhyme. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Does a lyricist have to rhyme to have a good song, or is it more about the message? What you guys think? Lyrics for reference: Do I find it so hard When I know in my heart I'm letting you down everyday Letting you down everyday Why do I keep on running away? Look, I apologize, often womanize Took for my child to be born See through a woman's eyes Took for these natural twins to believe in miracles Took me too long for this song I don't deserve you, I harass you out in Paris Please come back to Rome, you make it home We talked for hours when you were on tour Please pick up the phone, pick up the phone Said: "Don't embarrass me, " instead of "Be mine" That was my proposal for us to go steady That was your 21st birthday, you mature faster than me I wasn't ready, so I apologize I've seen the innocence leave your eyes I still mourn this death, I apologize for all the stillborns 'Cause I wasn't present, your body wouldn't accept it I apologize to all the woman whom I Toyed with you emotions because I was emotionless I apologize 'cause at your best you are love And because I fall short of what I say I'm all about Your eyes leave with the soul that your body once housed And you stare blankly into space Thinkin' of all the time you wasted it, on all this basic s--- So I apologize I'm never gonna treat you I'm never gonna treat you like I should I apologize, our love was one for the ages and I contained us And all this ratchet s--- and we more expansive now Meant to cry and die alone in these mansions Or sleep with our back turned We're supposed to vacay 'til our backs burn We're supposed to laugh 'til our hearts stop And then we end a space with a dark stop And let love light the way Like the men before me, I cut off my nose to spite my face I never wanted another woman to know Something about me that you didn't know I promised, I cried, I couldn't hold I s--- at love, I think I need a do-over I will be emotionally available if I invited you over I stew over what if you over my s---? I'm never gonna treat you I'm never gonna treat you like I should And if my children knew, I don't even know what I would do If they ain't look at me the same I would prob'ly die with all the shame "You did what with who?" What good is a ménage à trois when you have a soulmate? "You risked that for Blue?" If I wasn't a superhero in your face My heart breaks for the day I had to explain my mistakes And the mask goes away and Santa Claus is fake And you go online and see For Blue's tooth, the tooth fairy didn't pay I'm never gonna treat you like I should
Aug 31, 2017 BUT HE'LL NEVER TALK ABOUT them again..he refused to do Nas's "Daughters" remix, cuz of that.
Aug 31, 2017 Thought 4:44 was overrated and not replayable, even if it was cohesive and followed a nice concept. Too short for me too (Although I hope Ems album follows this route, MMLP2 would've been a good album had he made it 10-12 songs and removed the corny s---) Having said that 4:44 was Jays best album since American Gangster and a lot better than Blueprint 3/MCHG. Don't know what Em's album will be like, I do know that places like KTT and here will most likely trash it even if it turns out to be on par with 4:44.
Aug 31, 2017 It's gon' be more entertaining and not golf course music, but I don't know if better. Probably not.
