One hour.
nah, i just mean you really gotta be going through some shit to just throw that album on on the way home
Shit is so dumb. I'm not supporting this sketchy behavior by honest means I'll tell you that. At least Bey had artistic visuals to go with the tomfoolery
edit: oh isnt this supposed to be a visual album?

if that is true I would be in heaven, and then hope kanye's next album is as well.
Complex is inferring a whole lot from a single tweet.
That tweet says "Sign up for TIDAL HiFi before midnight ET to experience @S_C_‘s ‘4:44' http://tdl.sh/pDVRMK"
Which sounds like typical marketing spin.. SIGN UP BEFORE SO YOU CAN HEAR IT AT MIDNIGHT.
Says nowhere that it won't be streamable for people who sign up after. That idea is fucking stupid; it'll be an album listed on Tidal's app. You think they'd code some garbage where if you sign up after midnight the album won't show up unless you are a Sprint customer? That's just.. weird.. and unlikely.

I think this album might actually be good.
I was not prepared for this.

A little off topic but 13 by Denzel Curry shows glimpses of his potential. This dude is pushing some seriously angry production and can push it further into Death Grips territory. He kinda does the same old lyrical/flow stuff for the most part but idk I think he brings so much energy that it just does exactly what it needs to.
That track with Ugly Mane is particularly great. One track is pretty bad (track 4) tbh but I'm excited to see what he has in store with Taboo.

I don't have tidal and will just find it later.
At least we aren't getting too many hot takes
There's a 3 page thread.

That Future diss has me cracking up (as a Seahawks fan)
I thought both of the tracks were pretty nice.

This is how I feel fam. THESE BEATS DOE.....NO ID the King of these beats mang
my impression so far is, it's a real chill album, feels like a Jay Z on some Grown man hiphop shit with this. I'm loving it after first listen.
People in Gaf are trashing the fuck out of it tho...but I can't take most of their opinions seriously....only opinions in here are respectable when it comes to hiphop imo on this forum.

Black folk over the age of 28 will love this album.

20 year old black person here.
My issue isn't subject matter, it's lyrical choices and vocal inflections and chorus decisions etc etc.
It's all of my pet peeves that usually lead to me disliking something of which topic is irrelevant towards.

Cross posting my thoughts after a couple of listens:
Hov kinda snapped on "Marcy Me." Like, vintage Jay-Z.
Unfortunately I found most of this bleh. I'm not trying to hear these kinds of soul loops anymore, and Jay's flow since BP3 is so boring. It's definitely his most consistent album since American Gangster, and I like the subject matter, but I haven't been in the mood for this sound for a long long time, and don't see myself revisiting this. I much prefer No I.D.'s work with Vince Staples, Common, and Cocaine 80s in recent years.

Animated Music video for The Story of O.J. was put on Tidal too.
For the record. Anybody who wants to sign up for tidal just for this:
"JAY-Z 4:44 is only accessible to Sprint/TIDAL customers and all TIDAL accounts established prior to June 26th during the exclusive period."

I seriously thought I was the only one who listened to them. Glad to see there are others
Really weird. Milo sounding dude rapping on Trap beats.
The beats themselves are really unique, I'm really enjoying how unfamiliar this sounds to me.
