JAY-Z Teams Up With Meek Mill, Will Smith, Kendrick Lamar & More For Candid “4:44” Footnotes Video

    Chris Rock, Chris Paul, Lil Rel and more have teamed up with JAY-Z for an extremely candid footnotes video for the title track from 4:44 that dropped last week.

    The video features several major stars talking about issues they’ve faced with the women in their lives and the ever-changing roles of men in the context of romantic relationships.

    JAY won a lot of praise for opening up about his life and marital troubles with Beyoncé on his latest album, and this latest video sees a whole host of superstars such as Kendrick Lamar, Aziz Ansari and Meek Mill getting introspective as well.

    “People see your family, they see Instagram pictures of you smiling all the time and they don’t think you got real issues,” says Chris Paul. “They don’t think you gotta sleep back to back, that you climb into bed you look over your shoulder and see that back rolled over.”

    “That’s the worst feeling in the world.”

      1. Jay has to ally himself with meek and anyone else who has tension with drake – jay Z is not profiting off anything drake does – this is really his only option

      2. Probably tasted his nut like u did. Got upset wen u couldnt get no more . Fuck outta here.

    1. this shows how black people is not evolved emotionaly and they act like little kids when somebody touches the subject of treating a woman in the right way, a lot of athletic power but no brain or emotional understanding

      1. Somehow you feel like you can generalize a whole race of humans, but you can’t even grasp simple grammar. Black people are like cavemen is probably what you meant. Either way you’re an idiot.

    2. They should also have me (LaQuita Suggs, LCSW) and my colleague (Marion Sanders, ASW) as a Consultants. I have practice in the field of relationships, grief that is strongly attached to the process of working through betrayal. In order to keep the family system in tack, more men and women need to really look at how the love, care and needs of the family are met. Divorce, separation and the like are so devastating to the emotional health of children. We are also writing something about the demise of the family system that exist with each affair. We believe that education about this very thing, from a clinical perspective is warranted. We are both Mastered Level Social Workers. I am Licensed and she is preparing for her exams.

    3. Take a big man to be as raw as Jay was. Can’t help but respect him. Wish him and his family. All the health and happiness always ?
