He does things on his own terms. Accept it already and stop complaining.

Let's be reality, dude is pissing away his opportunity at any sort of success. There's going to come to a point where if he drops anything less than a classic, people are just going to not care.

It suddenly occurred to me today that the career of Jay Electronica is one big elaborate trick :wow:

As any Jay Electronica fan knows, his whole persona is heavily influenced by the amazing film, The Prestige. His first "album" was named "Act 1: The Pledge" and he has regularly inserted sound clips from the movie into his music. After all of these years, he's managed to string us fans along with the promise of releasing an album that is supposedly amazing (according to Questlove, Just Blaze, etc.) which is named "Act 2 - The Turn", following the trend of the movie. For many years, we believed that he would be the one to release the album. The album that would be an amazing (classic) combination of life stories, spiritual journeys and dope rhymes.

But let's actually look at the three acts of every magic trick:



After watching this film again recently, I realised that we are in the middle of one the biggest tricks today in hip-hop.

Act 1 - The Pledge: Jay showed us something (his music catalog and potential)

Act 2 - The Turn: Jay did something extraordinary with his music and managed to develop a following large and loyal enough to get signed to Roc Nation. As a result, he had us all on the edge of our seats looking for the secret (his album) but we're still yet to see it.

Act 3 - The Prestige (The Reveal): There is no album. The hype, promise and hope of an album coming out is all misdirection that has allowed him to make a living/have a career out of not actually having a career.

This man is the GOAT :banderas:

I'm talking shyt :heh: but I'm bored and some of this actually matches up.


But seriously, we're never seeing that album :mjlol:
