    4:44 is my favorite album of all time, i’ve studied it’s meaning for a long time, it’s clearly one of the most mature piece of music ever released. This album as changed the way I see hip hop nowadays. I recommend people to watch the entire interview of Jay Z by the New York Times if you want to know more about his feelings and the meaning of the project.

  • @jellyjay2674
    @jellyjay2674 5 місяців тому +70

    My favourite line from the album
    “I pressed ahead of your team with one finger curled” - Bam
    - To “press ahead” means to move forward despite opposition; Hov is beyond the competition
    - press “a head”, w/ his finger curled = “gun to your head”
    - hair-scheme - “press” is when someone uses a flat iron “against the head”, to straighten curly hair
    - A “finger curl” = a hair style also called “finger wave” re-popularized in 90’s by Missy
    - skips “leg day,” but (bench) “presses” & (bicep) “curls”
    Hov is an alien 😂😂

    Before this album dropped and they released "The Story of OJ". I knew i had to listen to the album. The day it came out I listened to the album and to this day i go back and listen to it. How vulnerable he is in this album and how he rides each instrumental is amazing. Its still my favorite album from him and the production is superb. I rarely skip a track on here.

Even if I don't agree with all of Jay's philosophy about what's important, it was good to hear him focus on stuff like that more than the gangsta/drug stuff (even though that's still there). The beats are SUPER hip-hop in a way that might throw some people off. NoID went crazy with the sample chops.
