    I get what you’re saying, jay isn’t exactly a daring artist and only went 4:44 route because of Kendrick

    What does Kendrick have to do with it?

    He just been in a zone now..

    He's been trying to get back in the groove since he came out of retirement.

    He sounds a lot better now than he did on Kingdom Come, BP3 and MCHG.

    The last time he was in a zone was on AG after being inspired bv the film


    BP3 and MCHG were rote lyrically. You can try and blame it on the production but it's the bars that were most lacking on those 2 projects. It's like the man was running in place.

    But if he was clearly capable of elevating his craft all this time, exposing glimpses of depth here and there, why did we have to sit thru landfills like BP3 and MCHG?

    Because Jay E wasn't writing all his stuff yet.

    Lemonade and 4:44 were the result of Jay and Bey listening to TPAB

    Nah, he's probably just giving him bars and ideas. He definitely has a huge impact on Jay. As evidenced by the gulf between his material now and BP3/MCHG era.

    Jay did the knowledge with the 5 Percenters. He's always had that influence in his music since he was wearing Hawaiian shirts. This ain't new
