When you think about how good Exhibit A & Exhibit C are it's just not realistic for anyone to stay at that level. Unfortunately he didn't give us a proper album at that time. No one is elite like that for more than 2-3 years at a time.
He's trying to make it sound like the old heat but he's not tapped into that frequency anymore.

He can't communicate with this level of clarity anymore. This shyt sounds like sunshine.

I loved "A Written Testimony" like the average zookeeper but lets keep it a buck:

A typical Jay Elec verse:

"Walk on eggshells to catch the other side
Swinging swords with the Bee Gees
trying to stay alive
I take a bow like empire kings
fold legs Indian style
crisscross apple sauce
Allah is my stunt double
crashing on another level
Farrakhan's lone rebel
I speak the words of scripture
drink the elixir and spit Walgreen's lanes
Drugs are therapeutic
But I refuse to take mine
so caught up with Allah
Jesus heard it through the grapevine"

Being a great lyricist is too stressful, it's just not rewarding enough imo. Better to be great at just about anything else in life. The people you appeal to (myself included) are far from the ideal "fans".

A producer who isn't hot doesn't have to deal with this type of ridicule and resent.

A media personality doesn't have to deal with this type of ridicule unless they do something wild

A superstar athlete turned role player doesn't have to deal with this type of ridicule.

There are a ton of teachers in the public school system who no longer have what it takes to teach. But they're tenured and they will continue to get paid until they retire.

I'm not mad at the post it's just something I thought about recently.

 

[Pop123]

You got a point

That style had nigs thinking you was FIRE in the mid 90s, lol. shyt done evolved, ain’t nobody impressed off that “rhyming big words and not saying shyt” like that no more

You can't dance with the chancellor, one glance'll have you caught up in the trance of the tarantula.
