thread is blasphemous, but this jay verse is probably 15 years old. it sounds off in comparison to the rest of the song.

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"
Not gon front....this shyt low-key hard lol

im confused

Am i reading that “rapping without saying shyt” is something todays rap evolved from?

That todays music has more substance today then it did?

To me thats absurd but ok.

Jay elect half assed the album. The last track is legendary tho. Some good tracks but a lot of eh stuff because hes stuck in a loop.

Whoever made that chart is dead on. He repeats himself and uses the same movies and ish but failed to make them connect.

He has much better songs with actual topics and fully fleshed out ideas. This one felt forced and jay came thru to help him. Prolly wanted their album after giving him an advance, and they made the best of it.

Cool album overall. I like older jay.

Who tf is really saying shyt everything nowadays is about being a scammer, drug addict/dealer, or killing opps. You can let this one ride too op

Fair enough. I recorded a track called legacies to inspire people on what kind of life legacies they want to leave.

It's all 100% factual rhymes. I studied over 5 real life biographies including Sam Walton, Lauren Baccal, The singing nun.

And I state them. Both messed up and inspiring life legacies. I also produced it. Check it out here
