The CONTROVERSIAL Story of Jay Electronica

Jay Electronica has a very confusing legacy. For a time he seemed more like a myth instead of an actual person. At one point he was being propped up to be the savior of hip-hop. But after all that hype that was built, he didn’t manage to release an album for almost a decade.

I’m honestly still rooting for Jay Elec to this day. A Written Testimony got a lot of hate but that album is incredible.

@langbrown7769 2 месяца назад

incredible is a reach ...it was decent but not worth waiting over a decade for 😂

@SolidSnake240 Месяц назад

Its a solid album but Act II is so much betterand should've been dropped instead

@ChozKetchum 2 месяца назад

I remember the morning I found out Act II was leaked and equipped with a link. I neglected everything I had to do that morning to listen and I did not regret it. For it to not have been finished or cleaned up. One of the greatest pieces of music ever

Anyone asking the reasoning and lore around Jay Elec are not from the generation. He was super talented as a writer, wiser beyond his age, a culmination of his travels, and respected by hip hop heads. Jay was the guy that blew you away in your first listen and drew you in. 2000-2010 had a ton of hip hop babies. Remember these are the fans of 80s and 90s rappers which have tagged the “Golden Era”. You gotta be in the know to know

@joebags40 2 месяца назад

It’s crazy because despite having 1 album on streaming services Exhibit C truly is one of the best rap songs ever and the strength of tht song kept him relevant all these years, truly an extremely interesting case of someone tht clearly has the talent but although getting tangled up with arguably the richest family ever is a distraction, he definitely had a lot of time to drop so i think it’s safe to say he wasted some of it. The pens always sharp tho, just missed a massive window of opportunity.

@KarlNova 2 месяца назад

I have his “Victory” mixtape as one of my faves ever but you see it is his greatness that made that “The written testimony” album such a disappointment because it felt like a Jay Z featuring Jay Electronica album. I didn’t want to hear Jay Z, I just wanted to hear Jay Electronica giving me bars over beats as good as or better than Exhibit A & C. The mad thing is Just Blaze has tracks in the vault he did with him that we haven’t heard. Just Blaze said this himself!! A whole album’s worth! There are even unreleased tracks produced by Just Blaze with Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def) they were thinking of being a group!! 😭😢

I was looking at another video when you said you shot up at the new and cameron, that might be true but you shut up because you're one of the best journalism, RU-vid as I've ever seen and I have to check youtubers with a million subscribers from using your voice and content and calling the reaction.

I remember being a freshman in high school when I heard Exhibit A & C and thinking that this dude was THE FUTURE! Insane to think that he not only squandered any opportunity he had to be in the KanYe West (don’t @ me)/Kendrick Lamar/ J. Cole GOAT conversation in terms of consistency & longevity…but at least he didn’t just drop after 12-13 years then go away forever 🤷🏽‍♂️

@cloutcancun 2 месяца назад

I would say watch the video to see. Many people (including me) think he’s quite interesting. Has all the talent in the world but didn’t drop an album for almost a decade. Basically drops a collab album with Jay-Z and then his album he was supposed to drop in 2011 gets leaked and it’s a masterpiece (IMO). There’s a lot of other things I talk about in the video regarding his story but it’s really bizarre to say the least
