    Imagine he put it in a place so that a leaker such as Alek would one day stumble upon it

    Was thinking this, like how was act 2 randomly just found after 8 years and i think alek said someone offered him it and beforehand I believe a song or 2 leaked or dropped almost yearly

    "2020 hindsight is so euphoric"

    "If one would open up truth, such as the truth of God to the people, I do think that He's within his rights to stay out of the sight of the people until He has won everything to Himself; as the Bible refers to it like this: He's something like a king looking for a kingdom. And that He goes and he visits the people, then He leaves the people, goes away and waits until the time when that He can secure the kingdom. Then He returns to the people that He had made Himself manifest to. So I think that's a pretty good answer"

    Forgot about the sample in better in tune

    Idk but it seems far too elaborate to be planned, but maybe it was planned but when off the rails

    Just did say jay was "such a planner and tactician" tho

    Are you watching closely

    @PNWlitty @Teal_ hocus pocus abracadabra rap

    abra cadabra raps dead.. lol you pretty much nailed it.

  • Lol at people unable to appreciate the version uploaded. It's raw and f***ing beautiful. I'm listening on $500 Sennheiser with an amp.
    Tidal version. Bonnie and Clyde is f***ing amazing. Jay's voice sounds like it's in the back of my head

    I can see the artistry in it. It's not just some dude bullshitting. This feels like a really curious intelligent man made an album really great and personal to him. He just wanted to create and express himself

    Uhoh

    Are you watching closely

    I think its was partly by design at the beginning but then it went off the rails but its somehow still aligned with his plan.

    Honestly AWT being Act 3 makes so much sense and fits in with the original plan, I think he should just go along with it and rename AWT to Act 3: A Written Testimony.

    Also wasnt the original title of Act 3 The Last Will and Testament of Elpardo Flowers? Its a similar name to AWT

    I didn't listen to it. I wasn't interested. Jay Electronica is the Basquiat of Hip Hop no matter how much Jay Z wants to be.

    Yeah i remember when the awt title was given i was thinking l, was that not the subtitle of act3? Yeah it is pretty similar

    But i think if it was that exact title it would be too on the nose for jay this keeps the mystery

    Holy s***.
    Better in Tune uses the same sample/piano as "Can't be Friends" by Trey Songz
    I'm not someone who's followed the leaks, I just waited.. Letter to Falon is great but the auto tune isn't done obviously.
    I think it's really important we got this version

    Also the way Act 2 nicely flows into AWT

    I personally consider it to be Act 3 (even if that wasnt the plan), and with SST even being in it, it makes sense.

    If it was never meant to be Act 3 then I wonder if Jay will make it. Now that hes officially released Act 2 he kind of has to finish the whole thing with Act 3 (even though this could be AWT now)

    Lotta people not gonna appreciate this for what it is. At this point tho it doesn't matter.
    I love this a lot. It's pure emotion of a man lost in his own world.
    Just f***ing listen to what he released. He put it out. It doesn't need to be perfectly mastered and how YOU expect music to be. It's so sad people are "fixing" it and hating on Jay.
    You just don't understand artistic process. It's okay to edit it but don't invalidate the raw art

    I’m pretty sure the “Hailed back with Hova” references his signing with Roc Nation and not AWT/collab album with Hov. I’m not sure but Elect is a genius either way
