Albums Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony (Discussion Thread)

Cool project. Not worth a 10-year wait. A little underwhelming.

Back when Emory Jones was catchin' the fed charge
I knew less about who Chesimard
Although I'm Pablo Escobar
Thinkin' I was the last one Allah would lay his blessings on
I was tryna not to end up like Tony in the restaurant

This is strange. I think Jay Z’s rapping on here is better than on 4:44, but there’s also something about the religious angle that doesn’t seem super authentic from him. I think his contributions are dope on here, but I still wish this was a true Jay electronica solo.

Favorite tracks are Universal Soldier, Blinding, Neverending Story 2nd half, and APIDTA.

Fruits of the Spirit I wish had been longer. I’ve always loved that sample.

I wonder about that Flux Capacitor track name. Alchemist always trolls interviewers that ask them what beat machine he uses and he tells them it’s a flux capacitor. Anyways...I don’t love that track. It sounds a little busy.

I really hate to say this, because I don’t want to live off nostalgia, but I don’t like anything on here as much as I like exhibit A and exhibit C

Camel jockeys, idgaf about your negs. Your mans is a victim of his own rhymes: sun don’t shine if son don’t shine. Make your own album. I wanted a true solo album. Hope they release what the OG solo version was supposed to be

When I die please don't tweet about my death (death)
Tryna get mentions, bringin’ attention to yourself
Please don’t post some pic from in the club
With some quote you stole like we was tighter than what we was
Tryna get likes from my love
If you can't go by the crib then give my momma a hug




GOD DAMNNNNNNN HOVVVV STOP ITTTTT

That production.

I need some other high caliber to flex on this track. Lyrics are cool as hell, but it's even more in there to extract.

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

For the non muslims this is underwhelming as fukk.

And isn't Jay Elec fukking with the rosthchilds while rapping abou the Elohim? Dude is a clown.

 

[Nostalgic]

Electronica got Jay-Z to tap into a deep side of himself on ''The Neverending Story''

 

[Razzay]

Should of went the Puff executive producer route and had that ghost of Christopher Wallace soul to it!

this shyt worse than the Uzi album

hip hop is doomed

 

[lightskin jermaine]

As a fan of classic jazz, I really like the production and the vibe it gives to the album.

 

[Jimmy ValenTime]

After the shock of it dropping

Bumping the album now it's a 3.5 or. A 4

Jay not need the alchemist song should -be a solo track

It's like do one new jay verse and shiny suit can be a bonus track . Jay good on this but its jarring

This felt very much him doing an illmattic copy


we got 8 new songs - a intro with no rap and an an old song

 

[MusicConsulting]

The Psychic World of Walter Reed will definitely get ran back this weekend.
