I'm gonna assume the MJ song has an uncleared sample lol. I'm seeing people on twitter create wild conspiracies about it.

It’s not a deep conspiracy - he rapped over a viral beat that’s been used in hundreds and thousands of memes and social media videos and he probably didn’t pay for it.

The producer is some kid from Ukraine (LoVibe.) who tweets constantly about how his beat has gone viral and is talking about how many impressions, views and shares it’s gotten (1bn views across all platforms in 2 weeks according to him) but he didn’t Tweet a single thing about Jay Electronica using it.

He probably got a lawyer on the phone and told them he didn’t give Jay permission.

They’re not really that wild. Jay Elec lived with Diddy. Diddy’s ‘head of security’ (fixer) was Michael Jackson head of security. He was on the scene when Mike allegedly overdosed

.... Killah Priest just dropped a new LP fully produced by Purpose named "Abraxas 2" . . . . . coincidence or chess ?!?!!!



Ya'll need to get over this Killah Priest shyt. There's an infinite amount of trap rappers and thot rap and charisma vacuum battle rappers but you don't think there's room for two five percenter abstract weirdo rappers who dabble in conspiracy theories and the arcane? :heh:

Agreed. He's clearly just dumping everything he has made with no regard for the clearances and shyt, same shyt the Doom/Madlib's of the world would do when they just wanted people to hear the music.


I have no idea why everyone is so quick to jump off a cliff with anything related to Jay Elect, but between the conspiracy theorists regarding that song, and the nikkas in here who feel like they have some stake in his career and are genuinely upset he didn't do things how they wanted him to do it.

The fans/disgruntled old fans quickly became more insufferable than whatever shenanigans they are mad at him for.


Just take the damn music and go about your day :what: that nikka did absolutely nothing to anyone in here personally for nikkas to be acting like this

It was weird to hear that beat on the album because it's been going around social media for like a couple years now, with the producer damn near spamming the shyt, usually in a mashup with a Kendrick song.

I doubt he paid the dude.

I can't believe jay elec missed out on his opportunity to fill in that mos Def lane.

He fumbled the bag, I can't even be hyped for any new Jay elec

Damn, I was hoping for another drop this weekend...

I was thinking these mini-projects have to be leading up to a proper album, but with his track record he might disappear for another 5 years.
