It’s pretty bold for Jay-Z to make a music video about his own mother’s love story. It must have been quite confronting and I respect him a lot for that
ua-cam.com/video/aO3s-14dW8k/v-deo.html
He never would have broached the subject in 2001. He is going with the current on this one. Its not that ballsy
Lechiffresix six I agree 100% with you. A lot of people like to agree with today's homosexuality. Mind you I have nothing against it. But those same people are only agreeing on it because its trendy and its more acceptable nowadays. 20 years ago it would have been more ballsy. Especially in the hip hop community.
i agree with you k d but tyler the creator ain't gay, if you believe he is, you're just proving his point of making all the white people shook lol
Isaac Arnold hey wass up
“Cried tears of joy when you fell in love Don't matter to me if it's a him or her I just wanna see you smile through all the hate”
ua-cam.com/video/aO3s-14dW8k/v-deo.html
I wish that for people l care for
Real shit
Celene Ramos hey wassop
Andrew Tran
It’s the weirdest thing lol
This album came out when I was 16, I wasn't mature enough to digest a lot of the lyrical content. Im 20 now and coming back to 4:44 with a slightly more elevated perspective- this is the first time I feel like I truly SEE what is being presented. I know Im still young but I wonder what it will feel like in just 10 more years, savoring moments like this. This story is timeless, this music is timeless. Thank you.
A
Feeling those exact same thoughts giving this album a re-listen. Digesting everything the musical shorts he included next to the lyrics is so enlightening. Same age and everything.
I'm 16 now and I love it,and I'm missing some points but still this is classic for me
@@diegoreyes2649 same here
Keep listening brother, I'm also still learning
"A loss ain't a loss, it's a lesson
Appreciate the pain, it's a blessin'"
So good to see such wisdom from you, Hova
Don't skim thru it..
How tf is the pain a blessing
@@RanMaru144 Because pain is how we learn from our mistakes and pain shows us how strong we truly are. Pain is a guaranteed and necessary part of everyone's ife. If you overcome the pain that held you back then you can do anything. So in other words pain is a blessing because it allows you to learn and hopefully grow into a better person.
@@RanMaru144 because you are alive to be able to feel the pain. You could be dead and feeling nothing.
@@courtneysharpley8752 Spend years at the crib so I don't feel the pain no more
I don't feel the pain no more, I gotta get it how I live
I don't feel the pain no more, I don't feel the pain no more
I spend years at the crib so I don't feel the pain no more
I don't feel the pain no more, I gotta get it how I live
So I don't feel the pain no more, I don't feel the pain no -
I spend years at the crib so I don't feel the pain no more
Sorry I've been listening to Joey bada$$ and xxxtentacion infinity but to what you were saying I'm pretty sure death might be lit
Gloria's presence in the end was so powerful. What a beautiful woman. Thank God for Jay; thank God for Gloria.
All the glory to Gloriah
Living in the shadow, can you imagine what kind of life it is to live? In the shadows people see you as happy and free, because that's what you want them to see. Living two lives, happy but not free. You live in the shadows for fear of someone hurting your family or the person you love. The world is changing and it's time to be free. But you live with the fear of just being me. Living in the shadow feels like the safe place to be. No harm for them, no harm for me. But life is short and it's time to be free. Love who you love because life isn't guaranteed. *SMILE* -Gloria Carter
JUST BEAUTIFUL
True art. Amazing.
Wow this is underrated. Cinematic perfection!
Bleu Print I actually play this everyday if only people could appreciate GREAT music
it is
for da poetic minds only
Jay absolutely BLACKED OUT on the 3rd verse
Maaaaaaaaan....💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
@@beezygotti7686 What's the 3rd verse
Jon Lefave he snapped 🥶
Craziest line..yall thought i was washed* im at the cleaners laundering dirty money like a teamster.. His metaphors are off the chain.. Cant see how people dont realize hes the Best rapper ever.. Sneak sublime to.kanye** niggas will love u but hate u cause they cant be u..
Yes he did
"This was meant to be a haiku/ but my story is too wide to fit inside a line or two." 🔥🔥🔥
fire
Chico Espinosa ?
Nasty line its a poem of 17 syllables and various lines .. But my story to wide to fit inside a line or two
Jay Z a genius
@Chico Espinosa we all have
Thank God for black women. My moms, my sis, my exes, my teachers, my co-workers....all of y'all. Y'all just dont understand how important you are to us, especially us black men. Vibes from this video.
You know, black men are pretty fly too #blacklove is #blackpower
#BlackLove ty....Black men matter too!!
💖
i'm white and I agree 100%, respect G
Dizzy Day RESPECT
Jay snapped on this one... Best song on the album
He's on A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL, than everybody else!!!! PERIOD!!!!
Fact.
Too crazy just hearing this sht in 2021 gives me the chills
Hell yeah, and it always makes sense, the whole steez
This oj and kill jayz is top 3 off the album.
"They say that I relapsed, I said perhaps that I Freudian slipped into European whips." My God this man is good.
TonyT #Facts
Im the true and living 😇God in the flesh the rest of these niggas is vain🤒👻🔥🔥🔥🔥
TonyT hey wassup
TonyT one of the illest lines of the decade.
That bar alone is worthy of studying
Only Jay Z would come thru w visuals that transport u to a different time zone so naturally. The girls r beautiful,this is like a lit GOOD TIMES episode, the poetry that woman sounded like Queen Maya Angelou🙏🏾
That woman is Jay Z's mother, who's openly gay.
that was his mum😊
Queen AdeReign that's his mom
Priest A. Now she is, as of recent.
That's his mother
Production and visuals are amazing
Ezactly.. Dizzope
acting is on point also
This shit brought me to tears, beautiful.
and still Jay Z’s third verse on this goes down as one of the greatest verses in history. this record is just unfuckwitable.
Kendrick and Hov back to back. What a great day.
Nathan Hamilton and SZA
They ended the year right
And Wayne
Yeah what a match
yeah but jays was way better and more on point
It's not easy being gay AND black... Big ups to you Jay for bringing that reality on screen 🔥
HundredDolla Will or Black man and Gay, that's even harder.
HundredDolla Will super facts
@@bnusabeel If you're black you should really be ashmed of yourself for acting like the system even treat us like we also weren't an "error". Now imagine for our brothers and sisters having to deal with racism and homophobia. The hypocrisy of you wanting to be respect as a black person but you cant respect someone because of their sexuality. We are not in 1800 anymore and you should be proud of that.
@@Isabella-wm3th you no white people where enslaved once too. Actually thats where the word salve came from . Slavanian slaves
@Angel Galvan she liked women from young
“ The more that I reveal me, the more they afraid of the real me! “ real spill !! 🙌🏽💯
🖤
Seeing mama Gloria recite shows us where Jay got his bars. 🔥
Jay-Z drops three new videos, Kendrick drops a video for LOVE and Sza drops a video for The weekend. Life is great!
Meta4z today feel like #UA-camChristmasBonansa
But these videos been out on Tidal.
Edit: Jay-Z drops three new videos, Kendrick drops a video for LOVE and Sza drops a video for The weekend on UA-cam. Life is great!
YESSSSSSS!!!
Meta4z 😭😭😭💯

Yes. Perfection. Smile.
Exactly 💖😭
wbibbs7 absolutely
“That’s why it’s called the projects because it’s exactly that...” deep
De La Soul told that first
@@yashs9345 thats not deep
Pictures so much bigger and deeper than they know 💚
TV "program"
Jay has said this many times, but it's a universal line used by real rap
Im 25 but Jay Z still killin verses gotta read between them lines. Who knows you might learn something.
Chrizjen J Elohim 💡
Two bars⭐
Agreed
You will eventually read them the first time you hear them. Keep at it, lyrical rap keeps your mind sharp and your mind aware
Yea he lead me a long way and I’m only 19, he made me look at the world different and made me realize it’s ok to not be a street dude
This visual embodied what I felt growing up.. I'm a grown man and I cried not even 2 min into this video. words can't even express the value of this man. Jay-Z luv u big homie ✌
LMAO ^
Hes toooo real!!
Give all glory to Gloria they say you raised that boy too fast but you was raisin a warrior
Jose Torres The Joy
We victorious, they'll never take the joy from us
Jose Torres straight bars..and I'm out!
Jose Torres *RAISING
These lyrics are on another level. This is that grown man shit.
“Cried tears of joy when u said was in love, didn’t matter if it was him or her”
Jay Z better win every damn grammy he is nominated for
Arjun Patel Haha, you know Kendrick getting at least one
I swear or there will be a riot. 😂😂
Kendrick Lamar gonna win maybe 3 Grammy awards.
Logic possibly.
Arjun Patel #smile
Jay Z has been around a long time, let the younger, newer rappers get grammies
Jay Z never fails us🔥🔥
This is literally my mom's life... 5 kids later she's finally free!!!😍😘
Ew
much love to your mother. God bless lesbians!
This song still gives me chills the Stevie Wonder sample was absolutely amazing !!!
This has truly touched my heart. I admire the woman your mom is, even if i don't know her whole history. It takes courage to come out, specially in black community were the rate of homophobia and sexism/misogyny/feminicide is so high.
This video is art. I'm really glad you worked with such an awesome team to bring this project to life.
n r honey Idk who you been talking to but black people have no issues with gays or lesbians in fact I see more judgmental people who are white.
n r what a dumbass comment explain places like atlanta then.... white christian conservatives bashes gay more then anyone quiet down with that nonsense
Chyanne McKeller shut the fuck up and stop basing your observations off of fuckin rap music....... rap music does not represent us as a whole and im black and blackass a lie
William Greene black trans women are far and away the most at risk group in the trans community for assault and murder, and that’s largely due to the fact that a lot of black People are transphobic as hell. I’m assuming you’re not LGBT because, no exaggeration, I’ve never heard a gay or trans person of color say that the black community is LGBT-friendly. It is absolutely a problem. It’s also a problem in white conservative communities.
The common denominator is almost always religion. The more religious a demographic is, the more homophobic the group tends to be. Black communities that are particularly religious end up being particularly homophobic
William Greene and honestly, rap music is a pretty decent indication of values in some black communities, so it’s really not that crazy to use homophobia in rap as an example of homophobia in the black community
THAT LAST VERSE THO! 🔥🔥🔥
3:16
"I BET BEFORE I GO I PUT A BILLION ON THE BOARD" Congratulations Sir Jay
So powerful! I grew up with a closeted mom and I feel like she needs to see this.
💜💚❤️💛💯🇺🇸
People gotta understand the the 4:44 album is grown people music and on top of that you gotta read between the line in almost every song to get a clear understanding. In other words Hov said more than most if these mumble rappers ever could. Fan since Day 1.
Derric Smith 👏
Derric Smith yasss
Well stated
Yeah Jay has been hitting people over the head with double and triple entendres. It’s just that people are so conditioned to be satisfied with oversimplification that this music gets overlooked, especially by the generation that needs it the most.
Derric Smith I’m 13 and understand every word and the meaning but I get where you’re coming from
I love my black people!
S/O to anyone who's black, and know they're black
Chris Black who's black and doesn't know they are black?
max johnson Black people who are blind?
Triple shout out homie.✌✊
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
+max johnson Sammy Sosa for one
Dear Jesus, thank you for my brother Jay-Z. Please protect and bless him and his family!
I'm annoyed that it's taken me this long to check out these videos. I listened to and enjoyed this album when it came out. These visuals, though, add a whole new layer to appreciate.
I really cried while watching this, I broke down hearing Gloria's words once again. Living in the shadows is so hard. But it is true: Life isn't guaranteed
This track is beautiful , god bless Jay-Z and his mother "pushing through the pain so we could see new life " 🙏
Don’t add GOD to this. You know darn well I don’t care which Bible you read it’s pure abomination same sex interest. How dare you
The ending is powerful
The whole of it was
"Flying paper planes through the projects, now the whole projects on my jet" i felt that shit 💯💯
Honestly I still have the stink face after hearing this beat for the first time. No ID is a beast for this
Mir Redd lol stink face everytime it comes on honestly
Mir Redd Bc Stevie wonder is a beast lol
Mir Redd lmao on god
In top 3 albums of 2017!!! Classic, 444 might be my favorite Jay album in his catalogue!
GoodxJ Same
2nd Damn.
Jay’s catalogue is insane. 4:44 is definitely a masterpiece
GoodxJ Nope.
Reasonable Doubt #1, 4:44 #2
it’s up there
2017 "bet before I go, I put a billion on the bord."
2019 JAY Z BECOMES THE FIRST BILLIONARE RAPPER.
Jay bodied this did y’all really hEAR the lyrics
How is JAY-Z still this good ?!! 😃😃😅😂 HOVA !!
Daniel Guzman HOV = God
With age comes wisdom, REAL art never ages or dies
Daniel Guzman he stayed true to his craft which is real hip hop aka lyrical.
He do this in his slumber.
This is one of the most beautiful & sophisticated videos I ever seen in my life. Embrace yourself the way you’re and live with a smile. P.S. Jay’s mom example of eternal power & pain is truly impressive. It’s a masterpiece!
With love, your loyal friend from Ukraine.
"Society shame and the pain was too much to take
Cried tears of joy when you fell in love
Don't matter to me if it's a him or her
I just wanna see you smile through all the hate"
A lost ain't a lost its a lesson, appreciate the pain it's a blessing 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
yea man I felt that in my cloaca
Peace God
Finally! Someone sampled the right Stevie Wonder song. Thank you Jay!
Zena Parker hey wassup
which song did he sample
@@lauraconroy5437 loves in need of love today
Deniz Quaresma thank you sm
Zena Parker busts rhymes and eryka bad I sampled it
"Yall thought I was washed..... I'm at the cleaners... laundering Dirty Money like the teamsters".....then the Hoffa shout out. That's one of the hardest bars I ever heard
trill gully2 Yo thought I was the only 1 that notice that homie shoutsout
It’s a double entendre .. Hoffa = jimmy hoffa
Hoffa = Kareem Biggs Burke .. shout out to Hoffa back home he in the church .. Biggs’s just came home from jail
Tinkers
trill gully2 please tell me what that means. I’d appreciate it.
Tinksters is the Casino from the movie casino. All type of skimming goin on. It’s considered leakage
How has this only got 2M views? This is one of the best rap songs I've ever heard!
Gabriel Lacet real talk
A loss ain't a loss it's a lesson, appreciate the pain it's a blessing
The Stevie Wonder Sample
And the Frankie Crocker
Radio Check
Are So Dope.
I agree!
Dope music awesome Cool good lyricism poet powerful deep love song
On repeat in 2020
Don't forget Take 6 as well
Album of the year.
DAMN
Baby Goat DAMN hands down
Leon Mutisya I enjoy 4:44 alot more. The only songs I liked off DAMN were Duckworth, DNA, and Element
Zack Werner I think that was his worst album tbh. TPAB, Good kid m.a.a.d city and Section.80 were all better musically. But thats just my opinion. Its hard for me to back and listen to DAMN without skipping most of the songs.
He may get it. It was a different type of album. He has many ways of delivery. Eminem take note....lol. Damn was a classic also.
i still dont understand why the views are this low. We all need to be THIS honest with ourselves.
Am in Kenya and i see this.Stop making me feel so wise.
America’s taste in rap isn’t really the best when it comes to what’s popular
He's being honored at the GLAAD awards along with his Bey this month . His mom was honored last year, so I know this will make her smile .
The third verse of this gets my vote for the best verse of 2017. What gets yours?
OJ like... I'm not black I'm OJ...
Ras Dam #SuperFacts
Vezu ..........okay.
Miss Gloria’s poetic poem. I love her because she made Hov. 🙏🏾
The last song on Big Kirt album "forever is a mighty long time" is the song of the year but the album is just as good if not better then 4:44!!!!!! Go give it a listen you want be let down Big Kirt dropped a 2017 Illmatic!!!!!!!!
Thank you Jay Z for humanizing lgbtq individuals. Thank you for also shedding light on homosexual life in the 70s since everyone seems to think the world is ending now when this has been going on for years. I was emotional watching this because I’ve experienced hate from homophobic people and it does hurt but I can say the love has definitely always outweighed the hate and for that I’m grateful. SMILE
Homosexuality was always around, it’s just accepted now as opposed to back then in the 70s. Also if you get hate because you’re gay, who cares anymore just brush them off and live life.
TheNadroj10 thank you!! I really appreciate it
So fucking true!!!!🙌🙌🙌
Go girl so proud of u💯😊
@@TheNadroj10 people literally get killed for it though. Back then and still today it's still something that's widely discriminated against. People can't just brush off murder.....
beautiful...Ms Gloria Carter😍😍😍 Jay-Z gotta be the best
His mom should be hella proud of him .they came from far
Jay has the most sickening visuals. i feel like im watching a movie from the 80s or early 90s.💓🙌shawn corey you are legendary..
What a gift to his mom. Salute! #Legacy
Jayz is making real grown man music life!!!!!!!!
Black woman 🥰😍 love every one of y’all 👌🏾
I'm dating myself but that's cool. The visuals hit home for me because I remember those days too. You captured the times which is hard. The flip on the track alone is feat onto itself....I appreciate the level of detail placed upon the entire Album and the visuals...especially the visuals, we can't relive those times but at least we can remember. As for Mrs. Carter thanks for sharing or allowing your son to share your truth, everyone deserves some time to SMILE...to be a part of something that's good and brings joy.
Stephen Lee well spoken sir
This is so sweet, that he wrote this for his mom 💓
"That's why it's a black market, that's why it's called the trap
That's why it's called the project 'cause it's exactly that"
damn
Had to give you that hundredth like 💯
Probably his best album hands down only the woke would understand
Texas Jay not the best but almost top 5 he got a great catalogue
Blue print
Reasonable Doubt had the total package of lyrics and production
The Blueprint 2 Is His Best Album
Marco Alexander what ? Blueprint 2? This is one of his worst album lol. The best are reasonable doubt, blueprint, Black Album ... After that Vol 1, Vol 2 and vol 3, american gangster, blueprint 3, watch the throne and 444.
His bad album are blueprint 2, mchg, dynasty and, kingdome come.
Long time Jay Z fan and this has got to be one of his best tracks and that is saying something with all the great music he has put out.
Kelechi Onunka it really is I've been addicted to this song since I first heard it. That last verse is one the best rap verses of all time. Defintely top 50
Bro this is the greatest album of all time
_HOW MANY_ people got love for *_JAY Z?_*
stfu
Art Sensei you clearly don't know what a real rapper is.
you really need to fuckin stop i see u on literally every video
BLAQK ! I'm one of them!!

A loss ain’t a loss its a lesson appreciate the pain its a blessin
I still havent heard an album,mixtape,or artist old or new thats fucking with this and it 2020 now. #RealSpit
If Jay dropping albums when he's 80 years old I'll be good with that
This video is so beautiful and cinematic. 4:44 is going to be remembered as one of the classics.
chyna doll hey wass gud
This Nigga's SICK WITH IT!!!!!!! STRAIGHT LYRICAL!!!!!! G.O.AT

Just making the impossible possible
"thats why its call the trap, thats why its called the projects cus its exactl that" damn i felt that
That 3rd verse is something special
Jay-z is definitely in my top 5
JAY-Z IS TOP 1
The Lady Who Said The Smile Poem Is Jay Z's Mom Isnt It?
Devin D yes
Dope music awesome Cool good Listen wow powerful poet hip-hop sound soul black vbes flow Steve wonder samples dope
Devin D Dr. Gloria Carter. Yes indeed.
Yeah
Yes
This man spilled his heart out.
With all the hype around this album when it first dropped I was deterred from looking into the videos and Such but I’m here now and I’m amazed. This was my favorite song from the album with the double meanings and all, just a masterpiece in itself. This video adds a cherry to the cake.The emotion of it all was so heavy yet relaxing. Seeing her rejoice in the end also allowed me to exhale.
I thought it had double meaning too.
ONE OF THE BEST SONGS ON THE ALBUM! JUST SMILE😁
My Mom's last name was Carter and I always thought she had a sister named Gloria
*THE best
That’s a fact and the last verse is one of hovs best flows ever
Dope music awesome Cool good lyricism poet powerful gorgeous Classic hip-hop album favorite 444 good Listen smile love song favorite
Brought me to tears😭
Makeup By Mia hey
Me too
How could anyone say jay z is trash! Straight 🔥🔥 707 don’t know good music
Michael Carr their haters who see his success as a reflection of everything their not.
Living in the shadows can you imagine what kinda life it is to live...❤
I wonder how it feels to OWN THE SAME PROJECTS YOU WERE RAISED IN. 🤔🤔🤔🤗MARCY🔥
It gotta feel good I bet most of the dudes he grew up with was trynna own the block but now they probably dead or in jail.
This video brought me to tears and it made me feel so warm inside. There's something about seeing black people with pride in who they are (the afros). I wanna be successful in life but I'm far from a Beyoncé . Can't use my vocal talents lol I'm so proud of Jay and Bey ! They really made it ! It's so beautiful to see my people prosper .
I am far from a Beyoncé too so We gottta start where WE AT. Aim for your success❤️

Just noticed the Twin Towers. Nice editing there.

After watching bitcoin just drop to 12k this track is right on time Hov!
K Harris What is Bitcoin? Can u explain to me what it is
Its a crypto currency( digital money) untraceable by the government and can't be taxed. Possibly the future of money to replace our current currencies. Some say it will pop which it probably will but theres tons of other crypto currencies that can and will grow.
AllLivesMatter how does one acquire this currency?
+Corey Foster you can buy and sell bitcoins at one of these websites called Coinbase.com that's how you'll aquire them.
OMG LOL !
2019 still rocking this ..
How many of you got love for jay z
I’m not one for rap normally but I have to say I do love JAY Z
