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.

:aicmon:

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?

:aicmon:

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... :heh:

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...

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.
