    Just started listening to this today.

    Never been a big Jay fan so take this with a grain of salt. But this is the most complete album I've heard in a long time. Maybe ever. And this coming from a guy with the King Fu Kenny avy

    There is no fat or filler. No skips, been on repeat all day in the background

    Jay's flows were lazy throughout the album. His wordplay was basic, especially for him. Damn maintains its title for album of the year.

    C/S...LIKE ON THE TITLE TRACK...
    I WAS WAITING HIM TO SAY SOMETHING OR FLOW...
    ? IS THE MOST RELUCTANT SONG OF ALL TIME...

    i hope more rappers follow this shorter album format. give me your best 35 to 45 minutes of content. ? having 17 tracks and the back end being trash.

    I wouldn't be mad at this but they need to adjust the price of albums if that's the case. I didn't buy Bruno's 24k Magic album cause it was $13-14 for a 9 track album

    the price isn't an issue to me because i only buy albums a few times a year max. I will be buying 4:44 and last year i bought coles joint. Everything else i get 9.99 via i tunes like damn from kendrick or just stream only via apple music.

    Bruno make a 9 track album but for fans of that genre it's worth the 13 bucks physical or 9.99 digitally.

    I might be wrong, but I've always heard that artists traditionally get paid by labels based on 12 track albums anyway. Before cds, few albums were more than 12 tracks.

    That OJ Story video is tight. I aint still aint a fan of the beats, but i love the message.

    So I guess thats the line that got ? in they feelings, but the man aint said nothing wrong. Dude just casually gave some good advice, aint even name names.

    Im thinking folks like Boosie low key know they out here wreckless and guilt is kicking in, so they lash out. ? need to get they egoes out the way.

    This album reminds me of when Jay said if he could, he rap like Kweli and/or common if the dollars and cents. He is there now- mature rap. The theme of a few songs reminds me of the Life is Good/untitled feel.

    Jay finally grew up on this album. Finally made music the common man can relate too. That bragadocious ? can only get you so far. I think he also took a page from TPAB when he was brainstorming his beat selection.
