Albums Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony (Discussion Thread)

[beenz]

Jay doesn't have a verse on the last 3 songs though

Yes he does. The only song he's not on is track 8 and track 1 which is simply the intro.

are you god?
they came from the same lessons.

Yes I am.

Just because we have the same information(lessons), does not mean we are the same.

The NOI are religious believers who take the lessons on face value and acknowledge WD Fard as God. Everyone else are muslim.

The 5% are NOT muslims, and we DO NOT take the lessons on face value, and we apply them to our every day life using Supreme Mathematics and alphabets. Although the nation was founded by Allah, we teach that the black man is God, not just WD Fard (who is no longer alive).

It ain’t about the album being “different”. Even as far as production. I think Roc Marci is the GOAT of the 2010s and his production is different as fukk. But my issue is this album feels kinda rushed and incomplete. No constant theme. Seems like songs thrown together. The nikka Jay Z got more verses than Jay Elect on the album. And Jay Z been dropping albums since 1996 and still had enough in his tank to match and even outshine Jay Elect on most of the tracks. Except when Jay Elect REALLY gets in his bag lyrically. And I’m pretty sure this some shyt Jay kinda just wrote some shyt for to make sure it came out. Prolly wasn’t even as focused as he could get. To me. It’s a decent project. Not really amazing. Doesn’t really feel like an album. And Hov got way too much airplay for this to be a DEBUT album. 3.5 out of 5.

I agree but I think this will bring Jay Elec. out of that comfort zone and he will release another "complete" album soon.

This is more of a teaser/feeler album. Jay Z was genius for doing this

Flux Capacitor is heat.

Cacs mad they can’t catch the beat.

is there a physical for sale?

I always prefer a CD for the ride, but am selective these days, this qualifies but not seeing one for sale anywhere

but man if flux capacitor is just straight unlistenable. Its just them spitting over random incoherent noises. Shiny suit beat is trash too and the dream random babbling at the end totally makes a meh song into an instant skip.

I keep seeing this and I did think the same but I gave it a listen with some decent headphones and the beat sounded very coherent. They also didn't sound off beat at all. It's only sounded offbeat when I listen to it through speakers.

Maybe I was just high

How many songs did Rae share with Ghost on the Purple Tape?

It seems like all of them, but I think maybe 9-10 in reality. And I believe there were like 17 tracks on there.

 

[head shots101]

Universal Soldier sounds like something Westside Gunn would rap over. This kind of album you have to sit with and digest all of the content cause it’s pretty heavy on here. A lot of dope quotables.

Yea that's what I'm getting for this...heard it twice but didn't really listen hard I was busy both times

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

The more I've listened to this album, it reminds me of 'Act 1' a lot, mainly because Jay E produced damn near all of it.

The Alchemist beat, may not be one of his most recent sounding, but I get that it was on there because it meshed with the vibe. Also had me a moment, when he mentions 'Santiago disappearing in the wind', on account Santiago being the main character in 'The Alchemist'

I fukks with Flux Capacitor, but probably because I listen to all that Brain Feeder LA beat scene Adult Swim type of shyt(if you know you know)

Very much this. 'Ezekiel's Wheel' would be right at home on 'You're Dead' next to
