“But I remember we were online chatting once and you were like man, I don’t know to give you this song or not, because if I give you this song then it’s gonna be on Nah Right tomorrow, and the whole world’s gonna be beating me in the head about it”
Shouts to Benji B who also did an incredible J Dilla tribute the week after he passed away. Listen to it below.

I think Nah makes an impact on the way a lot of rappers think, helps people step their game up. But Jay Elec, if you’re reading, you got this. Just leave it all on the track, give your best, and drop the album. Drop Act II and drop more music. No need to do a million mixtapes. Just complete the work that’s already been started within you.

LF: after having a daughter for a couple weeks now, i can confirm that it is the best shit ever. whenever i meet a broad who never knew her father, all i can think is: that dude is an epic fail on top of a fail. shit’s disgustin. daughters ftw.

Jay Elec is that dude (nh), but what is he doing? Nigga we already know you’re dope, you don’t have to campaign. Drop the fucking album. Nigga doing more interviews than Badu and she actually has an album coming out.
March 15th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Elec is overplaying this delay tactic in Act 2….when it drops niggas may just front on it off GP….

40 minutes in[n]?! Aint that longer [n] than the summation of his entire musical output thus far? LOL
Say word he hasn’t stuttered. I heard of a face, but this nicca got a voice for radio?

LF: thank you to everybody who downloaded and listened to Opening Convocation, on some real appreciation. Usually when I make music, I just email it to people I know, a small circle of friends. This time around, I didn’t send it to any of my friends. I knew that Nah was a better proving ground. I knew that as long as I didn’t get the J. Valentime treatment, I would be okay. I’m shouting some of ya’ll out in the liner notes of the album, seriously.
March 15th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
* puts out two tracks*
* put out zillion interviews*
* continues with 70 minute interviews*
March 15th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
Now Jay is a perfect example of someone who should talk less and do more. I would like complete silence from Electronica until the album. I miss the time when the emc only talked through music.

bronzeville is a setup…the realtor is gonna take u over there early when all the niggas are still sleep, in school, or in court…
then in 2 weeks youre gonna come home and find your apartment ramshacked and all your belongings missing…
