Most overrated rap artist of all time
How do you have a 15-year long rookie XXL Magazine buzz?
Got 18-year olds out here with 2 Mixtapes and a Billboard charting album and this dude leaning on a Jay co-sign and 3 songs
I’m no mega Nas fan (Illmatic is a classic, IWW, Stillmatic were fire but then it went downhill for me with Nasir being trash) BUT breh puts in WORK. He delivers ALBUMS. He’s an actual artist and he can be your favorite or you can dislike him but you have to respect him.
This guy’s so hyped up, but is basically playing it mega safe by never releasing full projects and uses that to get this allure. “Oh man new Jay Electronica!!”
He knows he can’t drop an album with consistently hot material, so he drip feeds and so many people fall for it.
I’m not listening to this. Make an album and I’ll check it out: which won’t happen anytime soon if ever.

I notice you mentioned making albums and then followed it with a comment about being an "actual artist". I'm just curious why someone has to make an album to be considered that? I realize albums are standard and it's how we've judged musicians for decades....but why does it necessarily have to be that way? I'm not saying you're wrong and I know dude's history and how he turned in an album and Hov said it wouldn't sell so I get it. I'm just saying maybe we gotta stop with this idea that someone can't be great unless they make an album. Art shouldn't have rules and boundaries

Should be listened to every morning as a daily affirmation
Btw Jay Elec was also being wined and dined by Diddy at one point. Let's not forget. They said Puff felt betrayed when he went to Hov and them.
I just felt like throwing his name in the Diddy Pot for fukkery

They had at least 3 tracks if not a couple more. Someone has to have them all
This one didn't feel right to me. I don't like the invocation

Keep Going
One of my favorite songs since it’s release
Mama said never disrespect your neighbors
Cuz' next week, we might have to check for favors
That's science
I could never thank her for it
And 20/20 hindsight is so euphoric
Keep shining
Nobody could stop your progress
Because unknown forces move some known objects
That's magic
Even when the Mosque got cold
We kept teaching
Selling Final Calls on Broad and Allegheny
Cuz who gon save them babies
And finally put a definite into all those maybes
A scholar and a gentleman to all those ladies
The haters and the naysayers say ya'll so crazy
That's physics
I listen to this regularly man. This is scripture

“I pledge to be no one’s burden”
that line scares me so much.
