I think 4:44 is awesome as fuck, but I think the best part of it is the instrumentation and production. Jay's rapping has always been really good, but it's the samples and flow and mood that make 4:44 great. No ID has outdone himself.

Yeah, it's probably not BETTER, but I prefer it. Feel more emotional attachment to it anyway. "Kill Jay Z" and "Smile" and "Marcy Me" hit the spot for me.
