Video: Green Lantern Speaks to Jay Electronica
He also spits a verse that’s kinda crazy. I had the chance to meet Jay Electronica when he came through the nicest city in the world with The Jones Experience, and he is definitely the real deal. Down to earth guy, standing in the middle of the crowd for Talib’s performance with his staff. If Erykah & Justin’s creative co-sign elevated him to another level, just imagine coming off a tour with two of the game’s top wordsmiths, as well as being on the bill at Rock The Bells. This may be a longshot, but take Jay Electronica’s film expertise and Green Lantern’s sample/beat/sound-byte picking… the mixtape possibilities could be out of this world.

^yo…lmao i cant believe i didnt find that hilarious before…i just realized that right now AND it was a CD-R *fails class*
August 5th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
>^^ i dunno about all that. You can never take away the feeling of hearing illmatic for the first time from anyone. What we get from the music we like can’t be measured like that and definitely can’t be determined by our age once you are past your 13th b-day.
no, you’re wrong. you’re actually kind of right, but you’re still wrong. sure you can appreciate it, but if you weren’t of a certain age and mindset at the time Illmatic dropped you can NOT fully understand it. this is not up for discussion.

All this age talking could only mean the topic right now is who is a GOAT and who made a classic album, because a person’s age plays a major role. Where are all my 1980 alcoholics at?
August 5th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
>>lmao i cant believe i didnt find that hilarious before…
i find it hilarious you had show and tell in high school. then again, nyc schools…

Artists under 30 who have made classics:
^ Never thought about that, but honestly, nobody. I am having a hard time (none) thinking of someone.
Redman must be the GOAT because he is on your list TWICE TWICE lol
August 5th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
@ green.
that was a joke, missy. cuz that’s the title of one the joints off The Cool.
I can’t say if that album or FNL will be considered a classic in the future.
August 5th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
