Jay Elect sounds off on this. Am I the only one who hears that? He’s trying too hard to give out NOI bars instead of telling his story. Almost sounds like a parody of himself. Usually his flow and lyrics are more poetic and introspective....idk....I f*** with the album as a whole though. Just feel like every leak from Act 2 is a better song than what’s on the album, especially based on Jay Elects lyrics. Lemme see if it’ll grow.
I have listened a few times now....I must admit, I was listening with a very tough ear on Jay Elect. Just because a decade of anticipation for him to drop and the leaks over the years which I legitimately love.
This album was made and serves a different purpose than a lot of the previous Jay Elect music we've received before.
This album is more about being a celebration of dropping a project and the accomplishment of being where he is.
"Act 2 is just the memoirs with no omissions."
This is entirely different. It's more of a celebration of being where he is and who he is and finally dropping. It does have the classic Jay Elect introspection sprinkled thoughout.
I really like the album. I think there's more to come. Idk why but I do.
surprised it took this long for him to get Jay-Z on a beat, he was able to get Eminem in '09
Baffling, wish his verse was longer but happy with what we got.
Listen, I named my son, sir, so you gotta call my son, "Sir"
That boy already knighted, he ain't even out his romper
I've never listened to this guy at all before but this album is f***ing amazing dude the production is impeccable, are all his other albums this good?
"The day my mama died, I scrolled her texts all day long
The physical returns but the connection still stay strong
Now I understand why you used to cry sometimes we ride down Claybourne
You just missed your— You just missed your mama
Now I just miss my mamas"
RIP to his mom and his grandma
Jay going crazy on this track

There is no other albums
Listened.
It is good. Hov dropping some bars.
I probably wont listen to it again though. Can’t see myself just throwing it on or bumping it.
"Sometimes I wonder do the trees get sad when they see leaves fell
Sleep well
The last time that I kissed you, you felt cold but you looked peaceful
I read our message thread when I get low and need a refill
Sleep well"
This is just straight up poetry man
Hov's verse on Shiny Suit Theory is elite!
