this shyt is the perfect temperature, jay electronica was always gonna disappoint for some people, regardless of what he dropped, especially on a solo project.

this is cool enough under a microscope where it was do or easily die.

i don't think it's classic or anything, but the production is great, nobody is trash, jay-z was the weakest link on it all things considered, but being the weakest link on this project isn't something to be ashamed about.

Why does it sound like it was mixed and mastered in the back of a moving UPS truck?

This is my biggest issue with the record. I thought it was my earbuds or something.

That's me right there with my thinking


Some of the stuff they both was saying invites conversation

And for you to look it up to see the true meaning


For example

When dwyx came out (gangstarr and nice and smooth)

I was super young but loved music

Smooth B said the line

"I'm a diamond your a cubic zirconia"


At the time I had no earthly idea what that meant so i went to look not up

When i found out what he ment it clicked and opened me up to more hip-hop that made me think





Then I found out about the 5%'ers the native tounges

The samples the loops the layering the tagging


It was a new world for me I love Hip-Hop

Gave it one listen so far. It’s got a few bangers. The first song is dope, and the one with the Alchemist of course. I like Universal Soldier and ADIPTA. But overall

The decade + buildup didn’t help expectations.

 

[Rivoli]

dope Album!!!

You're not supposed to worshiping Muhammed, you worship Allah and honor his prophets.

NOI don't worship Master Fard Muhammed

They dont think Master Fard Muhammed is god?

 

[Suspicions]

Muslims don't worship no man!

My fault, so they worship allah which is their god and honor the prophets like the other dude on here said?

And the NOI doesnt view WFM as god in human form? Swear I saw that's what they do and Elijah was his messenger
