The songвЂ™s message drives home that no matter what your financial wealth or status may be, you still belong to the Black community. вЂќ However, in the song, Jay-Z raps about how, no matter what kind of job, status, or wealth a person has, if they were born into the black community, they will remain a part of it. The statement reflects the idea that O.J.вЂ™s вЂњwealth and status somehow helped to transcend the color of skin. The title of the song is also a nod to OJ SimpsonвЂ™s alleged remark вЂњIвЂ™m not black, IвЂ™m O.J.!вЂќ. But how, when you have some type of success, to transform that into something bigger.вЂќ вЂњIвЂ™m not black, IвЂ™m O.J.!вЂќ We all make money, and then we all lose money, as artists especially. In Jay-ZвЂ™s explanation of the song to iHeartRadio he says, вЂњвЂThe Story of OJвЂ™ is really a song about we as a culture, having a plan, how weвЂ™re gonna push this forward. It juxtaposes DisneyвЂ™s vintage cartoon style with images of lynching, slaves, and the Ku Klux Klan. The animated music video for вЂњThe Story of OJвЂќ references racist black caricatures from history. Though both the video and song were impactful, Jay Z did not take home any Grammys, leaving fans frustrated at the lack of recognition from the Recording Academy for the impactful song and video. The song, which talks about modern racism in America, was also nominated for two Grammys best record of the year and best music video. There are many songs worth noting in the 10-track album, but the вЂњThe Story of OJвЂќ created the most buzz. In вЂњKill Jay-ZвЂќ the rapper also talks about the Solange elevator incident.В He even wrote an apology to BeyoncГ© about his alleged affair in the title song вЂњ4:44вЂќ. It includes a song dedicated to his mom, who lived as a closeted lesbian her whole life. The album is one of Jay-zвЂ™s most personal works to date. Jay-zвЂ™s thirteenth studio album, вЂњ4:44вЂќ received a total of 8 Grammy nominations this year.
