Remember when Jay Electronica dropped that Exhibit A & Exhibit C?

[Chip Skylark]

Jay and Lupe were the biggest wastes of talent ever. They were supposed to be the chosen ones respectively, like Nas was

Lupe dropped Fahrenehit series, food and liquor. The cool, and tetsuo and youth. Which are certified classics. Has platinum and gold plaques

Jay Electronica prob lurks these boards so I hope he reads this when I say that you a bytch. had the game in a frenzy and too scared to drop. what happen to you? used to be one of my favorites.

But for real, to be a jay electronica fan is the worst feeling in the world

Real question

Is Exhibit C the last Hip Hop song that really blew up organically without a big label push?


I remember when Blaze first premiered it (along with Nas’s The Scientist) on a radio mix show. And wird of mouth was so bug they went ahead and dropped it as a single

Yep. Tony Touch show. There was pressure on him to drop it officially based on that radio show alone.

Definitely a huge moment. If it's not the last that blew up like you said, it's one of them.

these songs were fukkin RIDICULOUS



"I'll blast on judas iscariot and peel off in the chariot"

then dude went ahead n dropped this



and said

"They call me Jay Electronica
fukk that, call me Jay ElecHannukah
Jay ElecYarmulke
Jay ElectRamadan Muhammad Asalama'Aleykum Rasul'Allah subhana wa ta'Allah through your monitor"

i almost fell outta my fukkin chair the first time i heard this dude say that shyt

why doesnt this dude have a classic album under his belt

Who do you think been writing Jay's raps. If you consider Jay's last 4 albums classic then there you go.

Jay signed Electronica to roc nation then shelved him for life and made him a writer instead.

Hip hop song in what sense?

 

[Aje]

I remember Just Blaze telling me on SOHH that they were going to put out Exhibit A,B, and C on CD in like a month after I asked him for the DJ-less versions of Holiday and Exhibit B.

I'm still waiting Justin

Was that Jack Tripper?

 

[Arithmetic]

It breaks my heart we haven't got an album. I can listen to Exhibit C all day.

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Was that Jack Tripper?

Just Blaze was MegaTron Don or MGTD something like that*


If my weed soaked brain remembers correctly

Yea he was MGTD.

He dropped a few jewels on the Sohh message boards

 

[NAUGHTY]

I'll never forget the first time I heard Jay electronica. I was playing Fight Night Round 4 on my 360 doing my career when I heard Exhibit A playing on the menu. Song was so damn good, I made it the only playable track in the game lol.

Looked him up on Youtube and thats when I found the remix with Mos Def and Exhibit C. Jay became one of my favorites at that point.

That was almost 10 years ago.

Andre 3000, Jay Elec, and Biggie; all in my favorite rappers OAT and also some of the biggest "What ifs?" to touch the game.

Ironic.

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

Was that Jack Tripper?

Cant remember but i think so. He used to post under megatrondon too.

 

[Bigblackted4]

Liked all the best lyricist rolled in one he was never going to live up to the hype or how good these songs are

Favorite line are some of the simplest

With a new lease on life like Andy Dufrense

To proud to beg for change back when New York nikkas was closing Southern rappers then jocking our slang

 

[Bigblackted4]

Also the session of Watch the Throne have to be the most legendary rap rooms

 

[Maude]

I legit thought the crown was his when this dropped

He took 3 years to drop the full version.
I remember i would run the video back for hours when it came out.
