It's because Joe has never approached any of his music with any art. It was always cheap beats, cheap mixes, flavor of the month ESPN punchlines and maybe an overlong moody "introspective joint" with some emo vocal sample

This album is art. We are free to disagree with the way it's put together, but it's not a typical rap album and it's not a typical debut. The content here is timeless, the references are timeless, and production is deliberately minimal so the vibes and mood shines.

It's not the album everyone wants and it's not right for every mood, but there's really a lack of music like this right now, where else are we hearing this message? This is not a lyrical contest, they're trying to speak on topics rarely spoken on anymore, and they're shedding light on a part of the culture that's been buried in recent years

So for Joe to use his platform to have the most shallow, basic take on an artist with 100 times more of the vision and integrity than he has, is disappointing. And he sounds bitter that his career didn't play out the same way

Fake deep lyrics don't make the album art bruh. Jay Elec said a whole lot of nothing on a debut album that took 10 years to make and at best, taking out opinions, is 1/3 Instrumentals, 1/3 him rapping and 1/3 Jay-Z rapping. Where they do that at??? :francis:

What's funny is Joe Budden alone sells more than Jay Elec without Jay and probably has more people listening to his podcast than anyone who listens to Jay Elec period.
If you’re bringing up album sales with jay electronica then you’re clearly missing the point of his existence in rap

I’ve been listening to the joe budden podcast since it’s inception when he was in the hot97 studio. Anybody who follows him knows his obsession with jay z. I honestly think he’s jealous that jay electronica got a whole album with jay and joe can’t even get invited to a Roc nation brunch
