Is that why Malcolms daughter tried to get Farrakhan wacked? She obviously didn’t believe none of that rogue shyt and neither do we.

He’s god body like the Wu. 5%ers. He dropped that on the last album
Arm, leg, leg, arm, head, this is God body
Knowledge, wisdom, freedom, understanding we just want our equality
Food, clothing, shelter help a nikka find some peace
Happiness for a gangsta, ain't no love in these streets
that’s all god body beliefs. It’s like off brand Muslims.
Yeah I remember that but I'm sure he also said he doesn't follow religion?
But one thing for sure is he spittin this nikka still got it
There's a mass amount of evidence for that. And Qubilah was around 4 or 5 when her father died so she's not gonna know all the intricacies. And this is pretty much a well known fact by people who have knowledge of the situation that there was F.B.I/C.I.A involvement, C.I.A booked the Audubon Ballroom the week prior, there was agents that infiltrated both N.O.I and Malcolm's organizations at the time and undercover operatives present too. Malcolm himself knew it was wasn't just N.O.I, there was people in the N.O.I that wanted to harm/kill him for sure, but the people that actually killed him were the goverment and they orchestrated the whole thing. There's an FBI letter that said they wanted to deal with him and saying what a threat he was. The evidence is really overwhelming, I hope it comes to light for more people, cause if people think it was just the N.O.I they are dead wrong, shyt was happening to Malcolm in whole other countries and continents where N.O.I didn't have reach and power, he was being constantly harassed and tapped by them, there are some tapes of it out there. They wanted to get rid of him and they did, not long after that they assassinated some of his key allies abroad too.

Lol, that order came from the very top of the NOI. They can deny it all they want but they knew what they were doing by planting those seeds of hate against Malcolm
Not true, it's very convenient for them to say that because that's what they want people to believe. Are the N.O.I innocent angels? Absolutely not, some of them had a lot of anger towards Malcolm cause of the beef with Elijah, but to absolve the goverment of responsibility is not right when they were clearly involved. They were tapping Elijah constantly, if he made a clear order that was carried out they would have brought them down too. Would of been a perfect way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. There was things that were going on that was way beyond N.O.I reach at the time, Malcolm himself said that. He was being followed internationally, he was even poisoned abroad. This is such a broad in depth situation, do the research on it. As I said N.O.I certainly created a climate against him cause of the issues he had with Elijah, he was deemed as a hypocrite and ungrateful but this doesn't explain the vast array of evidence of goverment involvement, they were literally everywhere on both sides orchestrating the situation, John Ali being just 1 example.
Exhibit C was a first spin instant classic in my book. Dear Molestine and Exhibit A all seal it for me. I didn't go super deep but managed to get all those CDQ tracks he leaked a few years ago and was expecting more like that. Great MC and lyrics are all tight so it will have to grow on me. IMO, he didn't need Jay Z. It kind of reminded me of what Dame said about Kanye on that Last Call track when he suggested putting Cam on the tracks to save the album so it wouldn't brick and Jay electronica ain't no wack Kanye-level MC so it kind of lessens the impact of his first album for me.

I'm enjoying the album. However, it's definitely a step back (lyrically) for Jay Elect. There's no denying that.
Maybe three songs does he tap into his true potential
APIDTA, Shiny Suit, and Fruits of the Spirit
Hov is walking and talking on every song so inspired and so hungry it’s insane given his age, social status, and wealth. You would think it was Jay Z debut and not Jay

Thing is Hov is a the biggest Jay-E stan on the planet. There was no way he was gonna give him his throwaway bars after he been beggin this nikka to drop an album for a decade.
With Jay-Z and Jay Elec I see it as a chemistry and synergy rather than competition, I don't believe the intent is competing, it's more of a team, however....
Ghost Of Soulja Slim I'd say is equal, if pushed maybe Jay-Z
The Blinding is kind of back and forth so it's hard to give a rating, slightly Jay Elec if pushed.
The Neverending Story I got Jay Elec comfortably.
Shiny Suit Theory I like Jay Elec verse better,
Universal Solider I got Jay Elec.
Flux Capacitor would have to Jay-Z cause of the flow, ill.
So that would be Jay-Z on 2 and Jay Elec on 4 out of the 6 collabs they did on the album for me, so I don't buy into the theory Jay-Z washed Jay Elec at all, I saw it as a great chemistry between them. And it also makes sense when you are working with a legend like Jay-Z that he may get you, but the only 1 that's clear for me is Flux Capacitor because Jay-Z's flow is so ill, and even Jay Elec's verse on that is ill, it's just shorter. People may have that opinion which is fine, but it's not a narrative I agree with, I don't even subscribe to that theory on this kind of album.

The Dust King
A Childrens Story
Nah
He is dope though. If Nas did something like get the gat he would have been trending with hate. All type of jokes about him picking beats.
This album is dope but it again sees hov following in the footsteps of the true G.O.A.T.
When Dream was singing on Nasir it was too much but here it's perfect. That nit picking. I'm watching the twilight of their careers... And who's in who's lane?
album is jayz doing his best nas impression and elec givin up the rest of his untitled verses
I like the album. Solid effort. But the over the top dramatic shyt by these dudes in here is ridiculous. nikkas in here talking about crying over lyrics and the verses made them proud to be a Black man again
And I saw it coming too. I'm at the point in my Coli membership now where I literally KNOW which albums these cats gonna overhype. I said it yesterday before the album dropped nikkas was gonna overhype it. I wanna know how you feel about it after you listen, bro.
album is definitely not solid.
feels hollow as fukk actually.
nobody on this board can talk to me about nas or being off beat or nas beat selection.
its 2020. no reason i have to listen to beats worse than zone out while jayz and jay elec are OFF BEAT.
album dead ass loses a whole mic for that travesty. 4 mics?
nah this shyt is light. 3.
was expecting waaaay more. album was a definite disappointment. i rather jus listen to his old shyt.
let jayz kick intros on YOUR debut? smh
Thanks for your unsolicited opinion
he released an album when jay elec was supposed to drop.
back in 2012
also peeping views on youtube hes always in the Ks. 50k, 100k, 200k etc
there numbers are very similar which is odd considering jay elec has jayz on his side
breh they have killed him for much much less
the new jay elec is the least interesting. no jems only NOI speeches
any jay elec project is better than this jayz album
exactly what i thought. made me go back and pull up priest.
Who the fukk listens to Killah Priest
him and jay elec numbers are similar on youtube. they both are in the average of thousands of views
difference is this comment sounds retarded since jay elec aint never drop
