Jay Z's 13th studio album 4:44 is here, and after one listen it's clear that Jay Z is still capable of putting out a world-class album.

While we're still taking time to dissect all of the advice, apologies, and double entendres, and determine whether or not this album is a classic, one thing is already undoubtedly glorious: the memes.

Jay Z comes after Kanye West, he admits to cheating on Beyoncé, and he offers life advice that only a billionaire who came from nothing can give. He gets political and personal, and of course the internet is having a field day breaking down Jigga's bars and turning them into the bite-sized, shareable pieces of hilarious content we love to devour. Even those who can't listen to the TIDAL exclusive album are getting in on the action. Music and memes baby, they make the world go 'round. So kick back, enjoy the album, and check out some of the best memes 4:44 has blessed us with. Young!
