North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
Seems like rap eventually become a hobby to him.

At the end of the day, unlike artists who rap about the same subject matters over and over again, Jay simply writes what he feels.

Q Tip said he broke up ATCQ because they rapped about all they could as a group.

And he’s 45. He probably wants to focus on other shyt.

He needs to do a cinematic album with a tight, central theme like Kendrick.

He could definitely make a better album than TPAB or GKMC if he wanted to.

Jay Elec a great rapper and i don't know what people hearing. A Written Testimony a brilliant album. I do think a mystique and myth has been built up around him and he's become somewhat overrated due to that. From an MC skills stand point I've never understood when people elevate him as high as they do, but in terms of subject matter, poeticness and imagery he's incredible. Not saying he's not brilliant in terms of MC skills but people really put his skills in the top category i.e top 5 and stuff skill wise when to me at least he's not that level of an MC

I do wonder if he put out albums on the regular when the hype started how he'd do. Not sure his music would cross over to make him mainstream (not that it particularly matters). But there's difference between being loved by hardcore hip hop fans and having a 5 album run with a major label

Yawn. Just go listen to someone who actually drops music.

If you want raw lyrical content just listen to the new K - Rino. Flames.

The whole thing about him being "homeless" I question. He moves like an industry plant, and how he supported himself over the years I have no clue
Jay electronica was homeless before he ever got signed. He was on drugs and the NOI cleaned him up.
