    The Politics of Love, Race and Class in Jay-Z's 4:44
    Mártin, Krisztián István; Mózes, Dorottya Katalin; DE--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    The following essay uses two tracks from Jay-Z's 13th studio album, titled 4:44, to combat preconceived thoughts about masculinity and to deal with the issue of capitalism. "The Story of O.J" is a reminder that one's social status cannot obliterate one's race. It enlists the benefits of having financial capital and creating generational wealth while also shedding light on the demoralizing effects of fame and success. The track "4:44" serves as the centerpiece of the album. It highlights Jay-Z's atonement to his wife, Beyoncé, accentuates his remorse and expresses regret at the trials and emotional wounds he put his wife through. 4:44, is truly one of a kind album that highlights the harms of social construction, dreams a society of meritocracy and tramps the obsolete, false assumption of what it means to be masculine.
