Albums Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony (Discussion Thread)

[HeruDat1]

My train is on schedule but I had to take the underground railroad like Harriet
Weave the whole industry, every jab I parried it
My cross I carried it, my crown of thrones to Calvary from Nazareth

I never doubted my G.

Jay Electronica dropped an album 2020. Blessings fam.

This album is fire. I just wished they would've enlisted Nas, and made this a three headed album. Nas definitely feels like he would've been perfect on this. He would've murdered Universal Soldier.

Nas on Universal Soldier, APIDTA, or even Shiny Suit Theory would have been Godly

Ezekiel's Wheel reminds me of All Around The World

Added the “We Made It (Freestyle)” and “Exhibit C” as bonus tracks on my version and it’s

I gotta give this album a few more listens. But man

Which is both deserved and a shame because while I can get why Jay's verses will standout to people on familarity, Electronica is right here matching him imo ans still running point on this album

Jay-Z is going to get a LOT of credit for this album and he deserves it. This is why I was kind of aggy when it was announced it was a joint album. If Jay Elect had been able to drop his debut when the OG Act 2 Tracklisting came out and THEN did a Hov collab album it would have stood more fairly but for this to be Jay Elect’s proper debut and with a FIFTY year old Hov absolutely killing his verses, and his flow so effortless, there are going to be unfair comparisons.


Seriously, i’m super impressed with Hov’s rapping on this album, and not like I didn’t think he still had it in him because I felt 4:44 was a classic. But to just do it so effortlessly. You can HEAR Jay Elect trying his absolute damndest on a few of his verses to keep up. Jay-Z is just supremely talented. His only real competition on the Mic is Nas, Black Thought, and Lupe Fiasco.

I like when Jay Elect raps like he’s speed reading you a bed time story

On another note Ezekiel Wheel is sounding like it will be a single and get a video
