Jay Electronica is the living embodiment of :flabbynsick: How did he ever have any mainstream buzz?

[SirBiatch]

A carefully planned media campaign with a good cover story to make him seem "real"

and so-called "hip hop fans who know and love the real" fall for it every time.

Once Killah Priest dropped the album Electronica should've dropped, I more or less washed my hands of him

Which album dat, breh?

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

he doesn't have mainstream success


i think a lot of people confuse being a hip hop success with mainstream


can you walk up to 20 random people and ask them about jay electronica and they know ANYTHING about him? no

I said a mainstream buzz, not success. He did have a buzz that went beyond the crevices of the internet. He had Puffy and Jay Z endorsing him.

Album was triple the entire work of JE over 10 years.

When people drop tracks for people who don't like an artist to "change their mind."

Jay Ltronica is the GOAT Hip-Hop Svengali, tho

Corny ass thread

And so

Acting like Jay Electronica is flooding the airwaves or some shyt

If you don't like his shyt he's easily avoidable since he literally has ZERO ALBUMS

The buzz after Exhibit C was real. It was legit. I've never known a song with no hook and just bars to take off like that this side of the year 2000.

He had a great opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. He's a weirdo and he's lazy, but I wouldn't really say he's Larry Holmes status. I mean for sure I'm no longer anticipating the album and I don't think it'll ever drop, but if it does I don't think it would be bad.

I think it would be like Saigon's GSNT album. Good, but you could tell it would've been better if it came out when it was supposed to.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

You know how :flabby: it sounds to make a thread ranting about some artist just for gp

I can understand if the artist just released some new shyt
But to do so just out of no where is some old man "you kids get off my lawn" shyt

 

[The Jewnited States]

How many of y'all criticizing his work ethic and him being "wack" have actually heard his 100+ songs?
