I'ma just get straight to the point.
This nigga been on autopilot for the last few years. If it's not a Star Wars or a Michael Jackson reference, the man gotta make some bar from Revelations (and only revelations lol) or the synagogues of Satan or Farrahkhan.
And I feel you on your 5%-er s*** (while being a full on alcoholic that has discord/twitter meltdowns) but bro you mentioning him EVERY VERSE is annoying like dawg I know Farrahkhan be listening to some of these shoutouts like
Bruh legit don't even stick to the subject matter on these features anymore just gets on and start talking s*** that I've already heard in the last feature lol.
and idk, I miss the Jay that was human/relatable (Better In Tune/APIDTA/Exhibit C/Life On Mars) and not just ad placement for the Nation man.
He doesn’t make music much because he has very little to say. Loving Farrakhan is his whole personality atp.
act 2 a 10 but i agree his guest verse sounds like AI written. Hes pushing 50 so he probably doesnt give af anymore
He doesn’t make music much because he has very little to say. Loving Farrakhan is his whole personality atp.
From the outside looking in, I think his whole lifestyle kind of bit him in the ass and made him run out of things to talk about
You can't be out here rapping about metaphysics and the human condition then going on banning sprees on discord
I think Jay Elec is actually one of the few guys whose music would really have benefitted from more mainstream fame, and not just in terms of a higher budget but for the sake of his development as an artist
Been listening to the old Jay E comps of his old stuff and damn I forgot how much I loved his old stuff
Uzi Weighs A Ton, his The World Is Yours, Dimethyltriptamine, etc etc
AWT and Act II both classics
Only one of these officially dropped bro why we only do this for jay lol
Bro got a Rothschild and a mysterious contract from Roc Nation funding him for a third of his life it's not worth a discussion when both the fans and probably himself know what's he's been getting away with
I mean really what do you think expect him to rap about. He's put his heart and soul on the line with those human/relatable songs
I think he'll be fine if he ever drops another album. AWT really only had a few NOI references throughout the whole thing and quite of bit of human moments or just different subject matter.
It's really just this string of features he's been doing.
Like this, shows he still got it
Only one of these officially dropped bro why we only do this for jay lol
Because act 2 still some of the best music we got this last decade even if late and unfinished
I mean we know what it is with Jay all these years later. A rapper who didn’t live up to his potential.
But bar for bar
Jay Elec watched The Prestige with me on discord ain’t many rappers that can say that
Only one of these officially dropped bro why we only do this for jay lol
it officially dropped on tidal after it leaked, but taken down cause they could never clear all the samples
same as act 1
saw him react to being left off a Nola mt Rushmore in a comment section or quote tweet or something and wondered why he didn’t just release more music if he felt he was underrated lol
Only one of these officially dropped bro why we only do this for jay lol
Because Act II is one of the best rap albums of the past 20 years even in its unfinished state
I wish he just released it back in 2012 like he was supposed to
Can't understand how he was too shook to drop this heat
i know this sounds weird but i've never actually been sure if he makes genuinely really good music or not. like i've listened to most of his stuff. he can definitely 'rap' i guess but even then...
When I was young, I was confused, I thought God was a mystery
But everything I knew since the time I began to grew
Was taught to me by the wickedest men, who twist the histories
Who pulled out the cuffs of deception and and hitched their wrist to we
Now all praises due to Allah, we seein' crystally
The Pyramids are there to bear witness to the gods
So when the angels heard me spit, they bit their lip, this s*** is hard
sometimes he's on bullshit but sometimes he's the goat. we just accept him as he is.
It’s sad he didn’t release Act II back in 2012. Who knows if he’s working on another album
Because Act II is one of the best rap albums of the past 20 years even in its unfinished state
I wish he just released it back in 2012 like he was supposed to
Can't understand how he was too shook to drop this heat
the world would not have accepted an unfinished album in 2012.. i think it made sense when it did because we got used to listening to snippets and s***
