Jay-Z: The Black Album (w/ Jacquis Neal & Jon Butts)

I've Been Meaning To Listen To That

This week on I’ve Been Meaning to Listen to That, we dive into The Black Album by Jay-Z with special guest Jacquis Neal (Dropout, Comedy Bang! Bang!). Andrew, Stenley, Jon, and Jacquis explore what we expected from Jay-Z’s so-called retirement album and how it serves as a backdoor pilot for legendary superproducers like Kanye West, Pharrell, Timbaland, and Just Blaze. They also tackle the question of whether Jay-Z is truly the Michael Jordan of rap and dive into the ultimate debate: did D.W. deserve to get punched by Arthur after throwing his model airplane out the window? Don’t miss this insightful and hilarious breakdown of one of hip-hop’s most iconic albums!
