Albums Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony (Discussion Thread)

On the LIVE he said he recorded APIDTA the night Kobe Bryant passed.

Mamba

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.

And Mos Def

Yea I always put Nas over Jay but after this I don’t know. Nas raps haven’t been on this level consistently on one project since I can remember.

Agree with this entire post. Hov was spanking that nikka throughout most of this project.

Happy NEVUARY 32ND, brehs
