Why nikkas so mad that some people dont like the album or think its THAT good

Fixed that for ya breh

I love Cole and for well over a Decade I’ve listened to his music.... but he is and never will be capable of a lyrical performance of Jay Elect’s ability.

Man this album got u in your feelings. Breh. Nas has his time. I know it hurt Jay surpassed him at in everything in life. It’s gon be ok. Nas is chilling breh. U should too. So go bump “cops shot the kid” and sip some Hennessy and calm the fukk down. Capeesh?

 

[TEKBEATZ]

[aceboon]

Mach hommy? How

I hear it in Hov's flow, Universal Soldier being the biggest example

 

[Chip Skylark]

[Big Mel]

J Cole is TERRIBLE. Jay Elect is nice. Case closed.

I can cap, after listening for the past few days, Jay electronica’s debut might be the most disappointing debut album since Canibus.

People forget the hype around that first Canibus album because Wyclef gave him a dud but the hype around it was unreal. Canibus was trashing every guest appearance, every freestyle, he trashed LL & then dropped some bullshyt.

That’s not even saying it’s bad because I think it's a solid project. Still, we waited 12 YEARS to watch him get outshined by a 50 year old Hov who spent Jay's debut defying the laws of rap gravity showing he still has it by spitting triple entendres. I just expected more.....

This Jay Electronica album needed Just Blaze. Like none of the songs on this album are as good as Exhibit A, Exhibit C, Dear Moleskin or Better In Tune With The Infinite.

It would have been nice to hear some bars over the last part of Flux Capacitor

 

[GoldenGlove]

Man i’m so happy this album is number 1 on itunes. Hope it hits number 1 overall on the charts next week.


REAL LYRICS ARE BACK! THATS RIGHT I SAID IT!



I hope Nas, Kendrick, The Roots, and J.Cole go EXTRA hard this year. I wanna see a fukking lyrical onslaught in 2020

Real lyrics never left. People are just sleep and act like nobody can rap under the age of 34 unfortunately

 

[RedEye Jedi]

Hell so Funny

Joe Budden hasn’t dropped a classic in his life.

Mood Müzik 2 is a classic and better than this Jay Elect album

 

[Figaro]

I hear it in Hov's flow, Universal Soldier being the biggest example

I hear it on Flux Capacitor too...
