Jay-Z Says Jay Electronica Album Is Coming, Lyrics Are 'Scary-Good' | News Video | MTV

^in this video interview last year Jay-Z said he was going to do "untraditional" to it. Jay-Z is too smart of a businessman and too knowledgeable about music to get Jay Elec to put out a "single". I could def see maybe another Exhibit C type song to get buzz, that song had 0 promo and got top 10 on the iTunes hip hop charts.

Ok, one thing I never understood is that you can see, from a mile away, that Jay Electronica isn't the type of artist to make/deliver/work a radio friendly "pop" single.



So why would you sign an artist like this then claim, supposedly, that the reason their album is shelved is because they cant deliver something that ANYONE could have told you that they most likely would not be able to deliver?



You don't buy a CAT and hope that it magically turns into a DOG once you bring it home.

nikka was better off signing to Puff...

Better yet he should have stayed with Just Blaze, gone independent, and caked. That was the original plan before Hov swooped in. I honestly don't see the "point" of this signing from Roc Nation's perspective. He's not touring, he's not doing guest verses (that Mac Miller verse is the first in a long time), he's not doing interviews, he doesn't really have a presence on twitter, he's not even in the United States! It makes no sense...

Lmao b*stard

 

[RAX 010]

Im not. Watching those vids unless you say wtf is on it

 

[Awesome Wells]

It is insanely fukking stupid to base the release of an artist like JE on singles. fukkin mind bogglingly stupid....

This.

Haven't heard much, but I kinda feel like the material this cat would drop, should be based as an complete body of work. He's entirely too dope to worry about gettin' radio joints from him. He's not that kind of artist at all.

i bet he'll sell more than french montana

i bet he'll sell more than french montana

my mom's distant cousin's babysitter's dog would sell more than french montana with an all bark no beats mixtape

I don't think jay makes the final call at roc nation, remember j.coles story jay was rocking with all the songs j.cole submitted

 

[Long Live The Kane]

I'd trade both of J. Cole's ole "I'm having an existential crisis because I didn't call back a broad I smashed during my freshman year of college " ass albums for a 8-song Jay Elect EP...what a cruel world we live in

 

[T.he I.nformant]
