Jason Goldwatch said if Jay wins the Grammy then they’ll release the Into the Light film they did way back. Has new music.



looks slightly pretentious but the theme is perfect with his reemergence this year

This was uploaded today:

A clip from the documentary. It's fascinating experimental film. Without fuller context I'm holding off on labeling it pretentious. Hope it gets released!

I feel the same way, I've just started to disengage unless I'm getting something guaranteed.

A Written Testimony and the raw record of Act II were a great treat considering the drought

Dunno I feel like I’ve been satisfied. I wanted Act II and got it, finally. Plus what feels like a bonus album in hindsight: A Written Testimony. That’s two more Jay Elec albums than I thought we’d ever get.

Sure I want to hear what’s next but I feel like I already got what I wanted and anything else is a bonus.

A Written Testimony is still an incredible album. Replay value is very high.


I think its under appreciated just how WELL Jay-Z was rapping on this album. He stole the show on a few verses from JAY fukkING ELECTRONICA.




Only complaint is they should have put one more song on the album to make up for including old ass Shiny Suit Theory .

Nah I’m straight honestly this man has just been disappointing with his release. He was given more than a decade to drop a dope project and just completed fumbled at this point he’s better off cultivating a protege

Don't know about you, but I got 2 albums last year against all odds.
:unimpressed:
Breh y’all tripping. Dude dropped one album and had Jay-Z on almost every track. That’s a damn shame after we waited over a decade for HIS album. No way around that shyt and y’all accepting that as a serious debut just cause he gave us “something” is a shame too. He has no excuse and had time to really give us something special and tell his story his way.

The other album had to be leaked and was bad quality. In fact both of them were bad quality on the mix. Lyrically he did his thing but for a decade long wait he fell short. Just cause he gave us one half ass album and another album leaked we supposed to just be satisfied with that? fukk nah! If you ask me he needs to get back in the studio and create something else cause he failed. Blew all that hype and everything. He is a serious lyricist but he doesn’t get points for potential.
