Albums Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony (Discussion Thread)

[Absolut da poet ®]

I wish this would've dropped in the winter

But I'll take it now cause it's definitely quarantine music


The frequencies and undertones are next level.

Very smart to sprinkle Hov in


I do think I need about 30 days to really know how I feel about it

But on first listen.. it's fire straight through


. I got numbers in my phone that'll never ring again

Gave this a few spins today. Overall it was cool with a handful of very high moments. Its understandable why ppl want just Jay Elec though, cause at times I do think either hov steals the show or it just ends up sounding like his song. This also def missed at least a few Just Blaze tracks. Still at this point, cant be mad at basically a jay and jay album.

Its dope but jay elect calling this his solo debut but has jay on every joint.

This aint a jay elect album. He has 9 verses on a 10 song album.

im still waiting jay elect. Love this though.

The jay electronics hype is weird. Dude is like a less interesting Killah Priest.

He also produced the majority of the tracks.

All these years waiting done made me checc out on dude a while ago but Ima give it a listen. That's just how nice he is. But, I KNOW I'll be disappointed. It's just how much disappointed will I be? Too much expectation and many loose gems for him to delivery with some half baked watch the throne joint debut. You could prolly easily make ya own Jay Elec project that would end up being a nicer debut with all the loose tracks/tapes over the years.

Bet and i dig his production. Always have.
But i need a full jay elect album. Still appreciate this

This Ghost of Souljah Slim is very dope!! Beat is fire....and that person saying "blddddddddddddddddd" sound effect is fire!!
Only heard that one track....hopefulthe rest is fire no doubt!!

 

[Omar Little]

I can’t outright say that any track is better than Ghost of Christopher Wallace just when it comes to bars from Jay E.

 

[TripleAgent]

You sure about that? Nas and Em are CONSTANTLY called out for their choices in beats

Add in any Wu not done by RZA, Royce until recently, Canibus, Ras Kass. I could go on and on.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

Sack em?
