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.
He’s a member of the Nation of Islam and an FOI - he’s fully on board ideologically with the Nation - intermixed with teachings from Five Percenters and the Moorish Science Temple.
And he’s close with the titans of hip-hop, I find it inconsistent, but I don’t necessarily listen to artists because I care about how they move. Unless it’s abusive.
Can someone please domain what these albums are? Is it new stuff? Remastered stuff? Loosies that are just put into one album? And has there been 3 drops currently ?
Act I and II are previously released tracks, the two EPs and LP under A Written Testimony - are brand new tracks.
