No stranger to heartbreak at the hands of black men, I, for one, found the apology to be a breath of fresh air. On 4:44’s eponymous track, Jay apologizes to Beyoncé and all the women he’s hurt because of his immaturity. On the album, Bey opened up about her struggles with her husband Jay-Z’s infidelity, her father’s infidelity to her mother, and how impossible it is to try to convince a man who’s treating you wrong to love you right. By “ Lemonade moment,” I’m referring to the cultural reckoning that Beyoncé made possible with the April 2016 release of her hit album Lemonade. Black men of the Hip-Hop Generation are having their “ Lemonade moment” after the release of Jay-Z’s album 4:44 two weeks ago.
