[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Why did GFK pronounce Avianne like that in his verse

Got me thinking his shyt ghostwritten

GFK been in Europe doing tours hearing different caccents galore.

plus Ghost flow is this contemporary Ghost flow.

My boy swears by Dave East and told me to listen. I just can’t get into his music, breh doesn’t move the needle. Flow-wise, lyrics and voice

Like compare him and Cordae on “Long Way”, I don’t even know if Dave East was listening to the same beat, flow doesn’t even fit

 

[Yaddam Yussein]

Wait he back on Def Jam?

 

[kt773]

Can’t make this up is fire, I like the album

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Dave is right



Hotep nikkas like Jay Elec are smart-dumb

He peaked at Karma 2. Him doing acting started a major decline. When he went up to Flex and started fumbling I knew it was a wrap

Kairi Chanel and P2

Sad to say, but dude peaked on Black Rose.

I thought East was gonna put the city on his back, back in like 2015. I don’t know what happened, but his voice is shot. And away from that, the bars are mad mid now. Sh*t like, “I do it so big, you’da thought I signed with Diddy”. Just sounds like he's not even trying anymore, or just going through the motions, with the exception of "DAMN", which is more on the level of what he can do.

Album-wise, the production is all over the place again or just weak. 24 tracks, and no kinda actual sequencing or continuity. Dude has like 17-18 full projects he's done, and the quality has dropped crazy. I don’t know what the story is, but he doesn't have enough people around him telling him the truth.

Kairi Chanel was his peak to me, but yeah idk what the fukk happened

Idk if he changed his voice purposely or if the backwoods did it

Or if he thinks he has to rap like this for mainstream appeal

But it's such a disappointment that it's hard to even be a fan anymore

 

[A187]

album got some heat on it but East doesn't sound as focused as he did on the last few projects
think he makes better music when hes collabing with producers

 

[Escobar305]

No sticky? Mods lackin

 

[surv2syn]

This is meh. Sounds like throwaways or joints that didn’t make other projects. Thought he was on a good roll. His last two projects were better.

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

Do he still sound like he been coaching in the nba for 40 years.

Nikkas would rather be failed rappers than do anything else in life
