Albums Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony (Discussion Thread)

[Marzupial]

Best album if the decade

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Album is very good so far but it’s wild that Hov is killing Jay E on every song

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Fruits Of The Spirits is vintage Electronica

 

[HiiiPower]

I woulda much rather had act 2

It’s just good, but still underwhelming, but I guess it was always gonna be due to the hype.

Also, as much as I love hov, him being on every song really takes away from this being a jay electronica debut album

This shyt is dense as fukk. Like you gonna have to sit down and run this shyt back a few times over a long period of time to catch all the references.

And this nikka Hov is just...he's just transcendent man. His flow is John Coltrane level genius at times the way he weaves in and out of beats spontaneously and never wastes a bar. No filler here at all.

Beautiful, beautiful album this.

I'm not into the religious angle, it's just one of those things which I've never understood about a lot of people, how they can give it so much priority in their lives when there's no proof. The afterlife is probably like that scene in Goodfellas where Pesci gets made. He enters, looks around, there's nothing “Oh no“.

It obviously bothered me a little bit because I had to mention it, and also the fact that Jigga seems like a phony when he's trying to be spiritual. I feel like Jay E really believes, so i can get into his world more when he talks about that stuff.

But those negatives are personal to me, overall it's a really well crafted, even moving album. Both of them rap really well, especially Jigga, and the production is inventive and sharp. Hopefully Jay Elec does eventually release a proper solo album though.

Makes no sense. Especially considering Jayz switched his style up. He doing a better Jay elect than jay elect on some songs

 

[GunRanger]

Not feeling Elec at all on this. It's like Umar rapping

 

[jimbean]

Ezekiel’s Wheel

 

[Formerly known as...]

This not coming to Spotify?

Ploy by Hov to have it exclusive to Tidal for as long as possible. Spotify always get Jay/B stuff a little later than most other platforms.
