4:44

Jay's latest album is easily his most personal, laid-back and self-reflective project he's ever made. He solidifies his position as one of hip hop's elder statesmen. He's vulnerable and apologetic, not something I've ever heard Jay rap about. No I.D. killed the production and it finally provides the cohesiveness and consistency that Jay's weaker LP's lacked. If this is his last album (which is a possibility at this point), it's a damn good way to finish your discography.
