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

[Ziggiy]

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

Me too breh


There was a good three years where I was OBSESSED with everything Jay Electronica.

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

Hip hop song in what sense?

A "boom bappish" track with verses and no hook...
It "POPPED OFF" naturally off of a mixshow. Enough people heard it at that time and wanted to hear it again. I was one of them in NYC that night. No big rollout, just the song.

 

[I love Latina women]

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

He was spitting like he was Rakim.
It's a damn shame he's never put out an album.

 

[The Jewnited States]

Of all the absolute classic tracks and verses he's put out I still think this might be his best and for sure his most underrated




It's frustratin' when you just can't express yourself
And it's hard to trust enough to undress yourself
To stand exposed and naked, in a world full of hatred
Where the sick thoughts of mankind control all the sacred
I pause, take a step back, record all the setbacks
Fast forward towards the stars and the jetpack
My feet might fail me, my heart might ail me
The synagogues of Satan might accuse or jail me
Strip, crown, nail me, brimstone hail me
They might defeat the flesh but they could never ever kill me
They might can feel the music but could never ever feel me
To the lawyers, to the sheriffs, to the judges
To the debt holders and the law makers
fukk you, sue me, bill me
That name on that birth certificate, that ain't the real me
The lies can't conceal me
The sun rise and the moon tides and the sky's gon' reveal me
My brain pours water out my tear ducts to heal me
My Lord's too beneficent
The message grab a hold to every ear it get whispered in
The waters in the bayous of New Orleans still glistenin'
The universe is listenin', be careful what you say in it
My grandma told me every bed a nikka make, he lay in it
The church you go to pray in it, the work is on the outside
Staring out the windows is for love songs and house flies

Just Blaze was MegaTron Don or MGTD something like that*


If my weed soaked brain remembers correctly

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

I could've sworn Jack Tripper was Just. That poster even had a quote from "So What U Sayin'" by Elect in his signature before I was even aware of Jay. I think it was this line:
"I'm trapped in the game, like PacMan, chasing the ghost / Drowning with water in my throat, got leaks in the boat / Squeezing the toast is not an option, I got Pac on, Makaveli Da Don bumping that 'Me & My Glock' song."

Danny Brown- Grown Up? And a host of other songs like that tbh

 

[GeeEffKay]

Incredible tracks. Ive been done with dude though for years. Dudes a mess and ain’t ever dropping an album

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

Danny Brown- Grown Up? And a host of other songs like that tbh

That song didn't have the power or create the moments.
"Exhibit C" wasn't an online viral moment, it was something that just popped.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Mixtapes at least

 

[ViShawn]

Those two songs were magical.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Was there ever an Exhibit B?

 

[T.he I.nformant]

I still believe

 

[Yaboysix]

The fukk that nikka up too?

 

[Chip Skylark]

Danny Brown- Grown Up? And a host of other songs like that tbh

Nope! Its one of those things you really had to be around to see. Everyone was saying jay elect had next, that he was hip hops new savior, and freaking Lupe fiasco was begging dude on Twitter to do a joint album with him. Exhibit A and C was pure hip hop caught fire in every region. The net was going crazy for dude to drop something smh

 

[TillWeDie]

It was like a Neo moment in the hip hop matrix
