One of the best hip-hop albums period.

In a few more years it will be looked on a classic.

One of the few "grown man rap albums" that doesn't feel like dad rap.

Anyway not his best but up there and an iconic moment

Amazing album, needs better mixing. 3rd best for me

444 is going to go down as Hov’s most overlooked album but it’s a f***in classic IMO

idk how girls girls girls gets hate

love that song

No the f*** it’s not lmao

Only people that think this bullshit are people whose first Jay album was 4:44

Let me guess 4:44 was your first Hov album and you went back and skimmed through his discog after the fact and came to this nut ass conclusion

Facts. 444 is the fav Jay-Z album for gen-zer, females, and casuals who didn’t have the attention span to appreciate his earlier works

It’s a great album, I would even go as far as to call it a classic so it’s all love but he has 6 other classsics tho soooo…

That title belongs to Vol 1

Two songs away from being a top 3 Jay-Z album

444 is beloved

reasonable doubt

Will always be an acceptable answer as well as The Blueprint and The Black Album

The Holy Trinity

Overlooked? Lmfao it’s gassed to high heavens. Great late career album though

4:44 is an amazing late career album but I’m sick of these zoomers calling it the best jay album. He has at least 3 that are better

Snitches get stitches

Females?

It’s definitely up there no doubt

444 is only hyped up by us Hov Stan’s but is largely ignored by the mainstream

One of my favorite albums of all time

Its cool but his flow too soft tbh. Rather listen to all the Vol albums, Dynasty, Blueprint 2, and American Gangster let alone his big 3

Does the mainstream even favor hov anyways?

I consider this the Bluprint 4

Only Jay album I love apart from Written Testimony tbh masterpiece for sure and one of the best albums of the 10s

i’ve learned to hate this album. apologizing for cheating is corny. it’s not that big of a deal

If all you got outta this album was “apologizing for cheating” you didn’t really listen

his contributions on a written testimony is infinitely better than this. ghost of soulja slim alone is better than every verse on here.
