Albums Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony (Discussion Thread)

[Tetris v2.0]

I'm not mad at Shiny Suit Theory being old and on here but everytime I hear the beat I remember that Pete Rock flipped that sample much better in 94

 

[Wall]

Any Canadians legally streaming? I'm bumping my Webrip but surprised it ain't up on channels yet here

I'm a Canadian in Hong Kong listening with ease on Spotify

"The last time that I kissed you, you felt cold but you look peaceful" - Jay Electronica

This guy is a seriously incredible writer, I felt that.

 

[THE MACHINE]

i think how he sees religion and how you see it (no diss ) might be different. Jay seems to be a certified 5 Percenter and his religion is that he is a God or Godlike so none of it is really blasphemy. He doesn’t hide it at all

Oh nah its cool, definitely no offense taken, you'd probably be surprised about my thoughts on religion (but that's another thread lol). I think your theory is spot on though.

so what’s the worst production on this since a lot of you complaining about it.

What other producers would you have liked to see on it?

Any j dilla beats on this?

Man my homeboy lost his 4 year old daughter to cancer last year. And i was telling him in particular this song was a vibe. So he quoted the line last time i kissed you, you was cold but you looked peaceful. nikka my eyes got watery i can't front. Not because of the song you know but because of my homeboys circumstance and I know that joint is probably hitting him particularly hard. We're both avid hip hop heads so you know. Sitting at work with tears in my eyes bruh shyts weird. Fatherhood turned me into a ho. I'm fukking 6'3 245 lbs with watery eyes at my job LOL

Man listen

Khruangbin is some real zone out shyt, but combined with the subject matter Elec + Hov dropped it's a great damn song.

I know a couple people here are up on K, but people need to really peep game. They're an incredible band.

I know of them, they did one of their first, if not their first live performance at a venue I frequent for
Jazz performances, I just typically focus on bands where the members are for the most part Black.

No..Every NY nygga was into it somewhat in the 80s..it was actually borderline fad'ish.. along with the red, black and green stuff ..the stuff he kicking now is complete studying mode.

Yes I know he been into it he just dont go overboard with it....

If you remember alot of people was saying he worships the devil because he dont claim to be christain

he Godbody but he never explins it

lyrically Jay.E be saying some dope stuff but i just feel that better beats or more banging beats would have easily put this project over the top. All this drum less loops or minimum drums wave is not for everyone.. And since i make beats i know what i like and what i dont.


Just Blaze could have giving him some quality beats while allowing both Jays lyrics to shine through

I'm a fan of Jay Elec but the Allah shyt is

Album is a 8/10.

Jigga washed Jay on every track.

: Soulja Slim, Blinding, Neverending story, APIDTA

: Shiny suit theory old as fukk, Flux Capacitor is just noise, the dream, only 7 new songs.
