Video: Jay Electronica x Red Bull Music Academy

From when Jay was in LDN last Thursday. As they so eloquently put it:

With more anticipation around his Act II track than the rest of hip hop’s class of ’10 combined, and another project with fellow supa emcees Mos Def and Curren$y in the making, the future couldn’t look brighter for Jay.

Props to Red Bull Music Academy.

He says that there is an Exhibit B on a hard drive somewhere. And that it’s not the Exhibit A (Remix) that Mos Def was featured on (and was defending.)

    Bol going @ Nicki Minaj:

    The most prominent female rapper these days is Nicki Minaj, who’s a unique figure in that she doesn’t seem to fit very well into my pet theory, which might require some revising for the ’90s baby era, where there isn’t as much of an emphasis on standards. Nicki Minaj is being positioned in the marketplace like a female rapper who you might suspect is the puppet of a male rapper, but I can’t imagine that’s how the TIs found her. She has the body of the woman who used to drive me to elementary school – who was in her 40s. And a school bus driver. I know, from the other times I’ve posted on Nicki Minaj, that some of the guys in the comments section would ride her hard and put her back wet, but I wonder where exactly is those guys’ cutoff point? So Nicki Minaj is your typical sex kitten female rapper, except that she’s not very sexy. But she’s also your typical lesbian female rapper, except that she doesn’t have a man’s MC skills. Probably.

    J. Prince engineered that whole shit cause he was down with The Inc & Death Row.

    About a G stack
    ^Closer to a C stack. I think I bought my 500gb drive for about $85. That size (nh) should hold you down for awhile.

    Killer mike dropping gems:

    Considering what most men endure to be good husbands they deserve at least a monthly visit to the Asian spa for a HJ/BJ. I actually believe the richer you are the less taboo “cheating” should be. Since a few thousand years ago during the time when humans were hunter-gatherers the man with the most food and the warmest fire, usually had the largest harem. So if Bentley’s, bar tabs, and big brick homes are rewarded with adoration and affection of jump-offs near and far I totally get why rappers, ball players, rich politicians, business men and lame ass, sell out beige golfers all cheat- it comes with the territory. Most wives of rich men know this and most probably wouldn’t have looked at they ass in the first place had they not been rich already or had the potential to be. True story.

    jay electronica and lupe fiasco are what happens when the major labels cannot push you..

    they’d rather have lupe and jay rap about chains, foreign cars, hoes, bricks, guns and the hood…

    Lupe and Jay electronica on E1/Koch coming near you..

    ^I couldnt agree with this man more. On the low I loved it when he beat the shit outta Big Boi.

    I’ve been to these Asian parlors…and these freaky asian girl stook her finger in my rectum, whilst grasping the boy’s testes.

    Something I will never want to experience again.

    ***nah, I ain’t know for real…I just wanted to use that line, anyway, lol
    ^^

    I never have been they type to clown somebody for not knowing something. Everything everybody knows now, they used to not know at some point.

    Like today, somebody will listen to The Roots or OutKast for the first time. Will I be incredulous? Yes. But I won’t dog them for it. It’s still plenty of classic material that I’ve never heard.

    ^ how much one of these things go for

    ^^^^^ depends on where u get it, but they’re cheap as hell (now). i got one from target during their labor day sale last year for $135, and this western digital joint (the better of the two as for as download speed) for $110 from newegg. i’d google that shit. i wish i did when i got the 1st one.

  25. kufi-Smacks Says:

    yayo latest shit >>>>>>>>

  26. Fresh Huxtable Says:

    At this point, it’s going to very difficult for the following to live up to the hype:

    Act II
    Detox

    they need to benchmark two movies who got crazy hype and lived up to it:
    Heath Ledger as Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight

    and Avatar in IMAX
