I cant believe i used to stan this nikka....what convoluted project is this? :unimpressed:

The way he devolved into self-parody and it expanded his audience is a legendary study in society and the human condition. His Farrakhan obsession is apropos - the guy my uncles stanned as the voice of black uplift only to realize he helped kill Malcolm X. That’s Jay Elec’s arc with hip hop. Son went from the ultimate mystic “pure hiphop” disciple to a guy eagerly embracing the role of lapdog/supplicant of the very scoundrels who accelerated the degradation of “pure hiphop.” Yet as he became more clearly a conman he picked up way more fans. Dude is a bozo.

Fresh out the frying pan into the fire and now you're frying
You so pretty, but – you always end up
Coming out the bathroom with puffed up eyes from crying
Never hungry, why you lying?
I ain’t gon' say you out here doing the most, but you sure trying
It’s like you trying to pick a lock to a fight, you just so defiant
She say "Jay, I thought I’d see some progress in my life from trying
But I can’t lie, on the inside, it feel just like I’m dying
I be burning bridges down despite the need to build something
I be crashing out to be alive, just to feel something"
The color that she said she hate the most of all – "invisible"
She pinned it to her Comments on her Stories in her swimming suit
In the daylight, she be feeling tall and invincible
But at night she in somebody section – small and convincible
Another fallen star to crash another crater
So why you had to ask me if we actually need a savior?
:mjcry::wow:

We always say French Montana is the GOAT social climber, but Jay Elec's branding when he is basically a rap socialite is fascinating lol

Lets not get TOO crazy now Jay Elect at his worse is 1000000x the MC French Montana is. French Montana literally has negative levels of talent.

Haha of course

Skillset is a whole different story

I like Jay Elec music most of the time when we get it but there's a lot of silly shyt like sharing that he lived with Puff and Cassie, that's just corny
