Honestly his buzz is dead. His window has closed. Lyrically he doesn't stand out from the rest.

Lol? He's rarely been seen lyrically.
And please don't say Kendrick on Control, Kendrick is the man, But his verse was better cause of the Kurupt line, the new school "diss"/challenge and the delivery/flow and all the effects.

But really, nah.. He kills it every time.

I gotta co-sign @Harry B on this one. the most intriguing thing about jay electronica, is that on the few glimpses that we get of his lyrical ability, he kills every time. He is basically light years ahead of damn near every rapper out right now. now him doing one verse a year, doesn't help his cause, but I can't even lie. that nikka is sick, which is why he is so frustrating. and IMO he had the best verse on "control" regardless of how much emotion or bars kendrick put into that rhyme.

Opening his chakras so that he is able to properly sacrifice Lady Sovereign or some other lesser Hov signing to his cave bytch's Illuminati coven.

It's not the lyrical content it's the voice and his delivery.

The Nikka is about to marry a billionaire.

I doubt he gives a fukk what most heads think about him. He clearly has interest in a lot more things than rap like traveling the world and delving into his spirituality.

That Nikka WON at this point and he don't need to EVER drop a rap CD to prove it.

He went from being a homeless Nikka from New Orleans sleeping on the NYC subways to having a baby wit a neo soul legend who got BREAD, to becoming somthing like a cult figure in hip-hop, while partying worldwide with and getting the respect of the puffs and jiggas of the world , to moving to London and getting engaged to a chick from one of the Most WEALTHY families to ever live on this earth. All while true heads know he can spit.

He don't need the work ethics of a guccie or currency because he's smart as fukk and eating better than both them dudes right now.

I can't do nothing but :salute: the way this dude moves.

The world is much bigger than the rap game.

He don't owe nobody shyt.

He obviously has no interest in being "hot" in the rap game. He might have at one point maybe or maybe not.but people change. If his heart ain't in it full time I'm good wit him dropping a couple verses a year. Just like I am with 3stacks.

I know a lot of y'all think the pinnacle of life is being on top or a major player in the industry, but every dude don't think or move the same way.
