    you could make a serious argument that Jay opened his career with six consecutive classics. I'm not sure I would, but you could do it credibly.

    Nah, I like 4:44 and it's exactly what I want from an almost 50-year-old Jay-Z, but I'm not sure if, especially in the scope of his catalogue, it could quite be considered a classic. It's a tier 2 jay album for me, but even a tier 2 jay album is really good.

    I'm not saying I would put forth the argument, and I definitely agree with your gripe. I just think I could be the laziest defending him. His catalog and influence make it really easy.

    Bar Kendrick Lamar going full Tiger Woods, he'll probably supplant him in a decade. Not sure where you stand on that.
