A statement concerning the single “Sunshine” sent to JAY-Z by Questlove brought JAY-Z back to Twitter.
He has already started back on Twitter in 2022 after a Questlove tweet brought him online. On Sunday (Jan. 16), Questlove tweeted at JAY-Z praising his In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 1997 sophomore album, replying to a tweet that said a single off the album “Sunshine” is over-hated: “Our main argument is his hate for Vol 1. He is embarrassed for trying to make a monster & not putting numbers up. But ALOT of this lp contains his best moments. Fight me @sc”

It appears that Questlove knows Hov has disdain for that album as he felt it did not live up to his expectations sales-wise. Eight hours later, JAY-Z logged into Twitter and responded by agreeing that some of his best moments are on the album, but that he could have made the entire album better: “Agreed . More so, I know what could have been, so it haunts me … streets is watching was the first song made !”
