This is Side B of our Jay-Z #BSides episode. Claude and Mo continue their analysis of key Jay B-Sides, discussing the irreconcilable moral conflicts at the center of Jay's music and Jay's uncanny ability to play the introspective drug dealer.

 

Claude argues that "Moment of Clarity" is the interpretive key for Jay's career and a moment of meta-revelation (whaaat?). Mo makes his pick for Jay's definitive swan song and Claude reveals the Jay song that most makes him reflect on the concept of grace while reminding us of the complexity of our favorite artists.
 
Songs discussed:

Allure
Dopeman
A week ago
Where I'm from
Beach is better
Moment of clarity
What we do
You must love me
Murder to excellence
