It’s some of the best lyricism I’ve heard in Jay-Z’s career and in hip hop the last few years

4:44 the song is so good it’s so poetic

The production for this is cohesive and it’s like a lofi hip hop album by Jay-Z that’s so crazy and it still had modern flows and such it wasn’t dusty at all

Also I apologize for hating on his verse on God Did… he blessed Khaled’s album

W

Exquisite album

Smile verse 3 is better than God Did

I'm just saying people trying to play like that's the be all hov verse

that s*** was not the wave lil bro

God Did shined in that mid Khaled album plus it's 5 minutes of Jay-Z rapping unfiltered and I guess that's why people were into it

Plus it's been years since we heard a Jay-Z verse on that level

(even though AWT had some good ones)

Nah it's just a really enjoyable late career Hov verse

Marcy Me still blows my mind. That s*** is crazy

A classic

Moonlight>>>

Eh he rapped better on A Written Testimony

Marcy Me's beat is one of Jay-Z's best beats and the outro to it is so good

Yeah

his rapping is the worst part of the album

yep

This. Listen to KD1, KD2 and Magic if you wanna hear some top tier rapping

Jay was walking (and struggling) over those beats instead of floating

But hov said he made billionairs!!

Hov is the greatest rapper alive

I feel like people liked the idea of 4:44 instead of what it actually was
