Do you mean to include a DNA link?
Anyway, don't worry. I take him seriously as an artist and I promise I will eventually listen to everything he's done.

I'm sort of confused by 4:44. Actually, just confused by Jay-Z, because I found the music itself to be interesting (except for the handful of pop single songs).
First, technique-wise, I don't get it. He's not even really rapping most of the time. Just reciting. If I can fucking do it, is it any good?
Second, I'm not that familiar with his life, so I have a hard time caring about a lot of the songs. I forget the song, but I was really turned off when he regretted not buying a $2 million piece of property. Poor fellow. And I didn't even really care that much that he cheated on his wife.
Anything can be made interesting, but I had a hard time finding any space in his lyrics to invest any deep interest.
But my listen was just a brief run-through, not a thorough, concentrated effort, so maybe something will click with more attention.

I appreciate Eminem a lot more than you do, but yeah, that song straight up sucks.
