Maybe jay Z is sitting on Jay Elect's album cus he don't have a radio hit neither.

You know what you said isn't true.

I posted a thread at the over a year ago with an interview with Questlove on Neal Brennan's podcast saying the album was finished, he had heard it, it was incredible and Roc Nation was waiting on him to deliver a hit single before they would green light the project...

That's my source....

What's yours?

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

[kt773]

Well you're arguing semantics on rather or not the album is incredible... The point is that it has been completed...

I'm talking about Wu not getting play in 93 if they were signed to Roc Nation.

You know radio, album sales and rap was different back then.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

nikkas will blame Hov for everything

Ya'll acting like this nikka was on some Curren$y shyt (dropping a lot of albums and mixtapes), nikkas was complaining about him releasing music b4 he signed.

If Roc-Nation signed this dude thinking they was gonna get any kinda radio friendly single (and that's actually the hold up), them they need to reconsider what they are doing. You sign Jay Elec bc he will hopefully put together a strong enough project to sell by word of mouth.

Yeah, Jay Elec never seemed like the type to drop club friendly hits with Drake. Labels need variety and stop trying to force artists into a box. They're worried about the money of it all but sitting on a finished album is a loss.

Jay Elect making a single for urban radio or the club is ridiculous, Jay Elect was never that type of rapper. College crowd is who you try to please with non-trap/non-southern rappers.

I guarantee you Exhibit A would have gotten airplay on MTV.

All they have to do is shoot a video throw it out there, let Jay Elect make his rounds and kids 21 & older will catch interest.

If Wu Tang would have signed with LaFace instead of Steve Rifkind in '93 they would have never met their potential.. There have always been labels that placed radio play and sales over everything even in 1993..

Electronica and Roc was always a bad marriage imo.. But I don't blame them, its his fault for signing the deal...

 

[Rani]

maybe at this point he simply isn't interested in putting out a full body of work and i wouldn't even blame him. what's the point, he's exhibited his talent already, maybe he just lost interest

jay electronica for houseman of the year 2014 imo get it mr. rothschild

OutKast never really had radio friendly singles until Stankonia. BoB and Rosa Parks were not playing on radio like that.

Its crazy how the A&Rs are handling his release so badly, the track listing alone, tells me he has to go after the more mature crowd who likes Nas and Lupe Fiasco.
