listened to a written testimony today on my run and put exhibit c on after I read op
its hard to disagree
I don’t think he’s the best but I do agree he’s absolutely top tier skill wise
Lupe, Jay Elec, Black Thought, 3 Stacks
I lowkey wanna give Pusha that last spot. I know people will clown me for it but I legitimately can’t name another rapper that has as many insane double/triple entendres and quotables as him. He’s easily the best at those and never wastes a single bar. imo that’s the hardest lyricism to do next to making something so emotional it makes someone cry

we call D'Angelo the greatest musician of all time off of 3 albums, I dont wanna hear anything about 'official' releases
This nigga didn’t even make act II. It was an unfinished mess
even in it's unfinished state it's high quality boundary pushing hip hop. Lets not lie and act like it was some scraps, tell me who can make an act II? don't be shy
Nas
Biggie
Wayne
Drake
Kendrick
Blu
Hov
Lupe
Push
Cole
3000
Ye
Pac
Sweatshirts

Niggas really sat here and said Drake and Cole were better than Jay Elec

Act 2 isn’t complete enough for me to answer this question. 😂. The nigga didn’t even release it so why the hypothetical of someone being able to make a leaked/unfinished album
Jay didn’t want the world to hear that. The one he wanted the world to hear was great but it wasn’t life changing or even genre impacting.
how yall feel about this take now that we aren't in the year of AWT
AWT is the greatest rap album of the decade

ok cool so you're just gonna keep ducking the question no worries

It’s nothing to dismiss. You are conflating jay being unique to act 2. Act 2 isn’t finished lol. No one can make anything Jay elect has made. That’s not specific to act 2
An engine can be the most powerful apparatus of its kind, but it's not doing s*** until it's inside of a working car

I believe Act II is his best, most unique project that is why I am using that as an example. If it's not finished or 'official' enough for you to appreciate then I'm sorry for your loss. I don't think you're stupid just a dismissive nitpicker who seems to agree with my main point anyway so I will leave it there.
The synagogue of Satan want me hung by my collar and I bet you a Rothschild I get a bang for my dollar

I respect artist and their product. Jay didn’t want us to hear it unfinished and thats why he pulled it off of streaming. I do think you’re dumb for assuming that im nitpicking but you’re also saying that about jay because he gave us what he wanted us to have. You’re the one that is dismissing it because of some fantasy about an unfinished album that again, he didn’t want us to have and wasn’t finished.

A broken engine that has potential to work isn’t as good as a bicycle.
@op do you have a link to the thread you made on OG KTT?
Jay Electronica should’ve been in the big 3 over Cole
Even if he consistently dropped music he would never been seen in that light by the masses because the things he raps about is not suited for mainstream hip hop.
They criticize Kendrick for TPAB and MMTBS , you can only imagine how they would talk about Jay and his content.
The mainstream audience is only here for “the slaps” and what sounds good on an Instagram reel.
