Jay Electronica Appreciation

[AZwildcats]

I’m not a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, but I am a Muslim. Lot of dope references in the album, probably Jay-Z’s best performance in years.

favorite song is Universal Soldier

 

[BukHumYai]

This really came out?!

 

[seasoned vet]

That was harsh as hell.

wackness should eradicated from the earth like a Thanos snap

im tired of spoonfeeding these clowns

 

[seasoned vet]

You’re so woke bro

you’re such a hip hop head

You were damn near in the kitchen with Raekwon at this point

And forget rap genius, we have a seasoned vet for any biblical lyrical breakdowns

^^ you should change your sn to CHEEKS McGee cause your music taste is ***

 

[P A Z]

A.P.I.D.T.A = All Praise Is Due to Allah?

Also that Khruangbin sample..

 

[checks mcgee]

^^ you should change your sn to CHEEKS McGee cause your music taste is ***

you are once again commenting on other grown men’s music taste

while I am in the thread for Jay Electronica

your name should be seasoned crab cuz you a grumpy *** *****

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

be clear, this album isnt the greatest

but trash tho?
thats some diva looking for attention ****

its SO much garbage music out here
yet clowns wanna nitpick

these dudes grew up without fathers

hey to be fair i said somewhere between decent and trash. which means like a 2.5/5
I really think the production held this project back. i wonder why he decided to produce most songs himself...

 

[m-90]

What’s with these beats and mixing?

 

[m-90]

Mid grade

Where are the drums man?

This. No bass the whole album

 

[MajinZuub]

Mixing has to be intentional I was thinking. A lot of the vocals sound like it’s playing off an old cassette.

 

[Master Zik]

A.P.I.D.T.A = All Praise Due to Allah?

What does the I stand for?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

It is like a sophisticated grown up version of WTT.

I don't know if I can classify lyrical content about a crack pot religion as "sophisticated."

 

[6pac]

 

[6pac]

Yo what the **** Jay Electronica be talking about

He should put this on a shirt

 

[Master Zik]

 

[6pac]

Easter egg raps, makes u go do your homework

rather hear this nowadays then some dude telling me he F**** my B**** 1000 times

this why I don’t get how anyone could complain about the beats or how different it sound

we got enough of anything expected they coulda made

 

[MajinZuub]

Jay Elec was making music like this long before Hommy was a thing.

Also aren't Hov and Hommy cool with each other?

 

[riverdale road]

Is i assume

 

[rocyaice]

was funny to me that first track isn't even a real song (after such a long wait and whole thing only 10 tracks total)

I honestly thought it was gonna be a troll job. I didn’t think the album was real until the second song.

If that's what you're getting out the album I don't think this rap stuff is for you

I think the production is fine, not great but not terrible either. However it’s funny how some rappers get a pass for rapping over mid beats cause the lyrics and message are dope but others get crucified for it.

They're referring to certain pockets and patterns Jay gets into on the album. It's definitely present. Particularly on Universal Solider. I don't think it's a "diss" or a knock on Jay-Z to point out examples of him being influenced by others. We've seen him do it before (Young Chris)

All Praise Is Due to Allah

Feel the same, similar to 4:44
