Albums Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony (Discussion Thread)

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Got a good chuckle out of Hov on 'Flux Capacitor'

"You backstabbers gon turn me back to the O(ld) Jay
He's not who you want to see - he's not sweet like the Old 'Ye"

is like he's acknowledging Roc Marci's line about him stabbing Un again on some

 

[BK The Great]

Solid project, soaking it in and i'm feeling the stuff they rapping about. Not everyone will like it though. Production is also good for what it is.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

A.P.I.D.T.A:

I listened to so many albums and just wasn't impressed but this album man...first listen...wow. I haven't felt this way about a hip hop album since T&Y. I'm talking about the levels of appreciating my own blackness and how far I came from the past. I'm talking about hugging my pride and joy and kissing my wife on the forehead type of shyt. No lie, Ace been going through the motions of questioning my own existence with my destination career wise along with personal woes, but this is one of those Negro Spirituals with a modern take that "everything is going to be alright". In this era of confused identity, "Pawgging", and all other sorts of shyt that would make our ancestors OoOf with such anger, we are all going to be alright. We are God's divine children and shall prosper through the ills of the world.

Classic/10

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Lyrically outstanding, production wise....underwhelming.

 

[Formerly known as...]

This album nice. It has a nice flow to it.

Hov really may never truly fall off, dude is just so damn good with it.

I like how he addresses why he isn’t active in music like that on Ezekiel’s Wheel

 

[WhoShotCha]

I'm glad Elec spoke on why he doesn't actively make music. He don't come out often, but when he does he never cheats you.

I don't see how any real nikka would have criticisms of this album. These 10 tracks have more substance and pure poetry than anything that's come out in forever. The things this man says is beautiful.
