Albums Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony (Discussion Thread)

[Ron Mexico]

this shyt is pure garbage

nikkas gotta act like it's good because of Jay Z though

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.

Powerful posting. Exactly how I feel about the situation.

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

Way better

 

[TheJet]

These mfz really used travis on that hook instead of kanye


HOV still big MAD at his lil bro

On another note did they keep nasir off this coz of that EP they did together as well

I was thinking the exact same shot when I heard it

Yeah iv listened a few times now...Iv got no hate for Jay elect, I anticipated Act 2 just as much for just as long as all of you, but this ain’t it for me..

1. Mixed horribly

2. Jay Z on every track takes a lot away from Jay elect on his “debut”

3. Technically only 9 tracks, and a couple of those are barely 2 mins long

4. And to add on to the last point, a few of those beats are awful

5. fukk Travis Scott

Jay Z clearly still a goat, and Jay elect clearly still one of the nicest Mc’s out there, but I’m good on this, y’all enjoy tho

 

[Piff Perkins]

I'm very curious to find out why Just Blaze isn't on this album btw

Whatever....


And why people keep saying outshined by 50yr old Hov? He aint a athlete.. you still can think well at 50 people

 

[Brian O'Conner]

My debut album featuring hov this is highway robbery
It's like I hit the lottery
I bust at the pinayati
Now I'm hot like a tomali
It's just like I caught a body

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

Whatever....

It's his debut album and he didn't even spit the opening verse on the album. What kind of shyt is that?

Rap is a competitive sport. If you're THAT BUL, we need you to stand toe to toe on YOUR album.....especially against a guy who's main focus isn't rap anymore after being in the game 20 years.

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

it would been nice if the scientist was on there instead of that trash ass song with arguably the worst hook in the last 5 years. annoying ass beat too.

 

[TEH]

I love the album but I’m hoping that the next one will be only produced by Jay, Just Blaze and maybe Madlib and that’s it ... hip hop needs it.

 

[El Jefe]

shyt so blatant ..surprised mo folks ain't catch it

2 b fair...sumthin must have gone down ... wat was the last hov project just blaze was a part of now, ??

Breeh is sorely missed on this .. did " just :even tweet or post anytbin related to the project since the release

 

[jadillac]

Why is it mixed so terribly?

Feels like these songs are all old.

Other than that I like it.
"We Made It" would've been nice on there too

Just Blaze won’t answer questions about it low key Jay Z probably blackballed him for some petty shyt ...
