How many records total does he even have?

I'd say at least 30-40. Problem is a lot of it isn't mixed or mastered so quality varies. I have half of the supposed album.

Nah, back in the day there was a zip/rar file going around the net with all his shyt.

I laugh when people talking about what he's dropping cause most don't know dude has around 90 songs out there. Maybe closer to 75-80...and this was before he signed with Jay.

It's funny when u think about it. Bruh been just been releasing a song here and there for the last 11 years with no real motivation to make an album.
If this was the 90's and Hip Hop still had a lot of talented MC's in the game, nikkas would've been forgot all about Jay Electronica if he had never still released an album after over a decade.

All this shows is quality > quantity. People still rock with him with no album and no mainstream push.

Then you have people who rocked with him but then turned into haters since he didn't drop the album they were looking for. Hence, nikkas still dropping by every JE thread to bytch and moan.

If I don't rock with something, I don't give it no energy. :yeshrug:

He performs at the same place in Santa Ana all the time :gucci:

The Observatory is that spot. I saw Kunta's Groove Sessions there when To Pimp A Butterfly dropped
:banderas:

They got ASAP, Uzi, Yatchy, Carti all on the lineup in the next couple weeks. Pretty much, all artists hit The Observatory. I don't listen to all them but for those who do.

Yeah, quality is number 1. Gotta have quality. But a great work ethic is very important too. It's been 11 years and this nikka ain't release ONE album! LOL

And yet, here we are discussing him. I let the album shyt go a long time ago. At the same time, everybody don't want to be a "star." You can listen to his shyt and tell he never dropped anything for the radio or to please a label. Some of the shyt aint even mixed lol. I respect creators/artists.

shyt most of the nikkas running up in this thread probably would quit they job if they didn't have to work.

We here discussing him cause of the irony of him going on a 8 city tour with no album after being "in" Hip Hop for the last 11 years.
Bruh got a good gimmick with this whole no album shyt and like I said, it works for him because he's a talented MC in a weak era of Hip Hop who only releases a song here and there, enough to keep up the mystique about his music.

the last time i saw jay elect, he performed about maybe 4-5 songs total but mostly talked for 1 1/2 to 2 hrs, breh kept having the beat stopped during the songs too:why:....stretched a handful of songs out to 2hrs:comeon:. I do recall him doing a decent Dilla tribute though.
