4:44 isn’t JAY-Z’s Lemonade, a response to Lemonade, or a Lemonade companion piece.The album is certainly built around a betrayal, but his duplicity, the corresponding apology, and his reassessment are vehicles for his own maturation.Before, he was unfadable, the supreme hustler without error.Fatherhood has eroded some of that cool, but 4:44 deconstructs an entire worldview.This is Hov’s gospel, a Shawn Carter retrospective measuring missteps and triumphs, wondering aloud if his work will appreciate in value, and what exactly is worth valuing.
