Beyonce was asked to compromise for a man who did not always honor his vows. As we now know from the famous elevator incident with Solange, Beyonce’s womanist magnum opus of an album, Lemonade, and Jay-Z’s Usher-like “confessions” on 4:44, their marriage was not built on complete honesty. Jay-Z and Beyonce have one of the world’s most public relationships. The screen fades to a hue of blue before stopping on an image of their daughter Blue Ivy at the video’s conclusion. The sound of their performance is muted as Al Green sings in the background. Kitt’s interview serves as a bookend to the video’s conclusion which features a scene of Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce performing on their 2014 “On the Run” tour. “Falling in love is great, but it has to be done for the right reasons,” she says. She asks the interviewer why she should be expected to compromise for a man to love her. The actress Eartha Kitta shares her thoughts on relationships. The video does have a few defining moments such as the opening which includes an excerpt from the 1982 documentary All by Myself: The Eartha Kitt Story. While I am sure that the director was trying to make a point with these images, for me, they were quite distracting. The video goes wrong when the director weaves in various clips from social media, the nightly news, concerts, and past interviews. The primary subjects in the video are a black man and woman whose dance moves and facial expressions emote the pain exuded in this song. After watching album’s first music video, “The Story of O.J.”, which follows a succinct narrative and provides a historical lesson on race relations worthy of display in the new National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), I was disappointed with this video.

The music video for “4:44” is artistic, humorous, irritating, and utterly confounding. In the following article I will analyze the music video and the accompanying mini-documentary, Footnotes to “4:44.” These mini-documentaries consist of interviews with Jay-Z and various famous black men about the themes explored in the album.

They also have access to a series of documentary film shorts directed by Neal Brennan, the co-creator of Chappelle’s Show (2003-2006). Subscribers to his online streaming service, Tidal, are privy to music videos for the songs on the album. On June 30, 2017, Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) released his 13th studio album 4:44, arguably the most personal and socially conscious album of his career.
