5 years ago today, Exhibit C was officially released.

[DaddyTime]

Swear to gawd I still get chills when I hear this song but you gotta question this nikkas character at this point.
Would any of yall trust a nikka pushing 40 with plans to drop his debut rap album?

I see why he was homeless at one point

 

[ISO]

I bust through the gates of hell like a batterin ram
Clappin yelling profanities like Yosemite Sam
After that, I'm back home scannin the land
Twenty-three million square miles of contraband
I know ya feel me, but still hope the opposition kill me
Cause you don't wanna see god manifest really
UFOs and cabbage water, Willie the Kid
You ain't seen one of these in a trillion years
Abracadabra, I popped out the meat grinder shining
The elegant art form of rhymings just blinding
And that's just a regular hat trick
A trick lock, a ninety gallon tank, yeah I'm back on that shyt
The ark building mad man from Hôtel-Dieu
Act II, coming through a dream by you
Young Slumdog from uptown, pocket full of rupees
Torn up sheets of looseleaf and one Loosey


I remember when I first head this verse

Damn, this shyt is

I'm making my own Jay Elec album with his best released material

 

[Ziggiy]

I legit thought Jay Electronica was going to take over Hip Hop and remold it in his image after the first time I heard his joint


Always imagined the first time people heard Halftime and knew Hip Hop was going in an upward trajectory, it must've been like that feeling


Then this nikka went and fell in love with some European Cac broad



What could have been

 

[ISO]

Can someone post a list of his joints? Im bout to make a mini mix and just appreciate...
exhibit a
exhibit c
shiny suit theory
ghost of christopher wallace
...

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Like honestly i feel sorry for just blaze because he gave this nikka his beats and no album came from it

Jay and dji has distracted justin blaze and the blazettes from working with more artists that could have used it

nikka gave a shout out to detroit hoods
One of the hardest singles lyrically in years...i still know everu word and just blaze on his diddy adlib shyt

 

[Ghpstface]

i havent gotten bored with the stuff hes put out so far .. i still listen to eternal sunshine at least once a week ... so im not really trippin about the album..

 

[Kitsch]

That's my beneficent prophet.

 

[Villn]

jay elec got one of just blaze's best beats on exhibit c, jay z's best verses on shiny suit theory, and a cosign from mos def on exhibit b and didnt do a damn thing about any of that

 

[up in here]

Yo, seriously, wtf. Didn't ?uestlove say he heard the album a year ago when Electronica claimed he handed it in. What the fukk happened?

 

[↓R↑LYB]

I think it's time we accept Jay Elect is a crack head

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

I was listening to the complete Jay Electronica discography as of May 2014 on my phone in my car last night.

Seriously, Act II will probably never come out but I'm satisfied with what he's put out.

In a perfect world his debut would have nothing but J Dilla and Madlib production cause he soars leaps and bounds over their beats. Dude makes throwaways and other people's tracks sound better than the originals...

Extra Extra
Abracadabra
A Prayer For Mike Vick and T.I.
Suckas
So What You Sayin
Renaissance Man


Listen to those joints.

I don't want to give up on Jay Elect....as a fan...but he has the worst work ethic ever.

He still didn't finish the Dear Moleskine video and that came out five years ago too.

 

[beenz]

That song is a classic. I first heard like "Who the fukk is this"????

Classic Just Blaze sample and Electronica goes in with no hook. Hip hop just the way I like it. Then I heard joints like The Ghost of Christopher Wallace and couldn't wait to hear an album. Now I get mad every time I see the nikkas name lol

Man he was us the entire time.
