BTW, why these radio personalities ain’t in asking what the Nas collab is going to sound like? Or how many tracks will it be? Or how long were you homeless. Or something other than the delays, cause they gonna keep giving the same answers.

Oh no doubt, I see the influence. But Rakim kinda dissappeared after his fourth album and Nas kinda picked up right where he left off. JE is dope without question, but Nas is as good a lyricist as he’s ever been right now. you can’t say that about Ra post 92.

Nope. But then again, most of all the best rappers out now are about that age or older and dont look like they’re slowing down IMO.

The whole “artist x is egotistical/arrogant” has no bearing on their ultimate success. If you’re driven and talented, you’ll get to where you need to be. Shoutouts to Jay-Z and Kanye, two guys who have already proven this a thousand times over.

yeh true, but at Jay Elecs snail pace he’ll have his sophomore album out at 47, this guy might want to get some type of work ethic, time is not his friend at alll

Yeah true, shits that bad right now. I check Nah 2 or 3 times a day and probably download 5 songs or less or watch 2 videos a week. Dudes saying Eskay sold out, I say this shit we call Hip Hop is on life support and kids build hype like they chasing ice cream trucks, get their flinestones push up ice cream, and don’t even know when the ice cream man gonna come by next time. More people hopped on the Exhibit C bandwagon faster than any other Jay Elec. song and I don’t blame them.

This guy is no Kanye or Jay-z he is a procrastinator and as a 34 year old rapper that is not a good look!

^^^The band wagon was solely due to the Just Blaze production!
January 20th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
this also reflects badly on Just Blaze.
A man who has his pedigree and catalogue shouldnt be taking shit from a Nobody!
If a man’s decade long track record of hit songs isnt enough to make Electronica take heed to his advice he’s a fuckin chump.
This is a business, Just and others have given you an avenue to release records YOU wanna make and you cant abide by shit? FUCK YOU
January 20th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Jay Electronica is a guy who willingly spent his life living homeless from city to city…so why would anyone expect him to have a great work ethic!
January 20th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
he deserves to be the most anticipated rapper. can’t wait for anything that comes out with his name on it.
Exhibit C and Just Begun are dope as hell.
Is Just going to produce most of his album?
