    9k is pricey asf but for an album of this caliber it makes sense

    Only just over 1k per song that we havent heard tbh plus diff versions of the ones we have got so good deal imo

    Its even worse that people are saying thank you for putting it at 9k. Not gonna lie from the snippets it sounds very unfinished and low quality. I wouldnt expect much from it if the whole thing gets leaked. I think it's likely that people will at best say "imagine how good this could have been if it was mastered and finished properly". But I might be wrong because Memories and Merlot is amazing and that's really poor quality

    Btw all three snippets are new bars arent they, I dont remember hearing them before?

    Bro its real and its a bargain lmfao also this was always goin to be the only way we would hear it

    I agree that this was likely the only way it was going to happen but its a rip off regardless. But due to the demand for it, i understand why the person has priced it at that

    A couple of these are floating around.

    What is is about AWT that people don't like?

    It's mainly people that wanted Act 2 and not AWT that hate it

    I agree the mixing is rough and the levels are unequal, but that's also Jay Elec's style (which AWT confirms). We've hardly had officially-released solo material from him so it's hard to judge.

    The "New Illuminati" lyrics are from his Jedi Code feature youtube.com/watch?v=_qDIXDRgeqI&feature=youtu.be&t=207, which came out a year after this version of Act 2.

    Makes you wonder whether he had decided to scrap it by then. I think by late 2013-2014 he or the label had made the decision whether to market Act 2 or keep him as Hov's ghostwriter, he started struggling with d**** around that time iirc.

  • That's cool. Now when the f*** am I getting my A Written Testimony vinyl?

  • ngl if I had 9K id pay it for that. thats honestly worth far more lol

    Dude should probably charge more than 9K to get some good lawyers and fight them legal fees once Jay Z goes after him.

  • PNW

    Honestly AWT wasn't that bad and I don't get the hate for it, though it feels botched version of Act 2 and was kinda forgettable

    great album but it just came at the wrong time due to the start of the pandemic and also the ones that hated it say that just heard of Jay E and don’t like raps like that

    Nah this GB is pretty cheap tbh, one ye mumble demo from the same person is like 2k lol,

    But due to that I think the album is pretty unfinished or something else is wrong w it, I don't really trust this leaker

    Damn that's interesting, no wonder the OG never got released

    Aren't some tracks off AWT from Act 2 though? Can't remember which ones specifically besides Shiny Suit Theory

    people leaked the s*** out of TLOP when he had it exclusive, and that was a project people (outside of the internet) actually wanted

    he'll be aight as long as he isn't just rêtarded

    Yeah the lift yourself thing was a troll tho the seller just didnt want to do it, alek just covered for him so he didnt catch heat

    Hes never really lied that ive seen people just like to set massive expectations for things

    Only shiny suit from the 2012 tracklist and its probably coz it has a jay verse and i know both of them love that song for some reason

    Never knew Elec was ghost writing for Jay Z. I missed out on most of the jay elec discussion on KTT1 though

    Yeah it is his style but I don't think to this extent. Anyway will be good to hear it regardless, but my expectations arent the same as if it was a proper release because these really are unfinished songs as the leaker himself said

    all but confirmed really

    that was 2 years before Hov's line on MCHG. and FUTW 2nd verse has Jay Elec all over it it's amazing.

    you gotta think it's why Hov did the AWT with JE, to pay him back after all these years.
