Albums Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony (Discussion Thread)

[KillbertArenas]

APIDTA is song of the year.

That Jay Elec. verse is what ive been waiting all these years for

 

[SnowflakesByTheOZ]

APIDTA man....fukk

EDIT : I had to run it back 10 times just off first listen. Records like these display how powerful music is. You can feel the emotion that he put into this record, it's indescribable. RIP Kobe, Gigi and Jay Elec's mom.

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Jay still in that 4:44 pocket

 

[Chip Skylark]

You lied. He was rapping like this all over life is good and the lost tapes 2. You are just in the recency bias.

true Nas has been rapping like this the majority of his career. From untitled to now he has really amped it up. So from 2008 to now.

honestly it would be great if Hov and Nas made a joint album because they both are in the same lane now with the same headspace but the hip hop gods will never bless us like that

 

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Only off one listen, but seems to have hit the mark here.

Yea, Nas has been rapping his ass off for a looooong time. Jay did his thing on this album but saying he's been rapping better than Nas recently is fallacy.

 

[King Ming]

killah priest this month announced the new album title ‘rocket to nebula’ on his podcast. it is almost finished


. probably spring or summer

 

[scorpino]

This mug rapping el padre nuestro

 

[Ill-Mind]

After a 12-13 year wait, I’m digging this album. The GOAT and Jay Elect are killing it, but Just Blaze’s production is noticeably absent.

 

[Wargames]

shyt I never thought I would see the day.....


We really living in the end times

Nah Hov is just talking to his grandmother and mother in law


I'm a miracle born with imperial features
I'm a page turner, sage burner, Santeria
Chango, December baby, Mauritius
Saint Hov, story takes place in ancient Egypt
They'll cut off the nose to spite the face, they'll steal ya Jesus
I can't tell Hattie White that blue-eyed virgin is make believe stuff
She throw me out the house, say ye deliver us from this heathen
I say that to Ms. Tina she'll sneeze at son, her photic reflex
They both have straightening combs, little did they know
I hold the heat next
Neither tool, can be used to fix our defects
P.S. we born perfect, fukk all the B.S
Everybody wanna be us for real, we just gotta see us
Insha'Allah

 

[THE MACHINE]

Jay Z, when he speaks on religion is still cringy to me

On one hand he seems to have lived his whole life above religion "J Hova" "Hova tha God" "never prayed to God..."even on here "I created my own Easter" "They sold their souls to me" but then he has moments when he seems genuine about it but if comes off as phony. I guess its just the rapper paradox but I don't know

Someone pass me that link

the most thing of all this is no just blaze collabo. that said, I'm sure just has a gang of jay elec songs in his vault that are
