nice, had the pleasure of meeting the man in montreal

good lord almighty!!!!!!
jay electronica is the future! these are perfect how they are!
dam…..

yo fix that annakins prayer link….wrong song

gotchoo. link fixed

thanks!
yo these joints are ill….”annakins prayer”……maaaaaaan i wanna hear more of that!

My ranking

1. Hagler (the verse, the beat…not so much, but I know its a demo)
2. Not Too Far From Nothing
3. Annakin’s Prayer

I was hoping to hear some really pared down, minimal type beats (i.e. Queens Get The Money) they are more unique.

he should always finish whatever he starts.

i find him..and the music to be that important.

aaahhhh put it out mayne! still waiting on Act. III since last new years

these snippets are like torture.

Jay will become a living legend. I can’t wait that Tape Volume I sooo dope!

Finish all 5 and bless the masses.

bump
although i wasn’t really feeling the 1st one, “hagler” and “not too far from nothing” are keepers.

Jay Elec is the sickest! nuff said!

the first wasnt bad but the 2nd and 3rd definitely are much better. finish!

This is the illest rapper out of New Orleans Period. BUMP IT…..The flow is unique….

he can re-record the vocals for annakin’s prayer with a more urgent delivery, but the beat and the lyrics are fire. he sounds depressed the way he delivers it currently, not with his usual fire.

hagler has the lyrics and delivery on point, but the beat sounds unfinished. maybe a more dynamic drum pattern? i like the vocal sample and how it’s chopped (the singing in the background that comes in and out). maybe a different mix would change the impact of it.

not too far from nothing is my favorite beat of the three. and jay brings the fire! that’s a keeper! i think the levels could be brought up a bit on the beat, but the sonic elements are all there. wish he kept rapping longer on that one.

new orleans represent!!!!!

(spirit equality…bred in new orleans east….signing off….)

Peace Jay, Thanks for dropping. Keep puttin in that work son. Love u back in the N.O.

Bump ‘em

“Annakin’s Prayer” is the s***… the rest of them need a little touching up but are greatness just the same..

Finish Them Jay! We need more Jay Electronica in our lives. Much love from HyPE LG.

FINISH ALL & THEN MAKE MORE

FINISH THEM! (in Mortal Kombat voice)

It will be a crime against humanity if he doesn’t finish “Hagler.” PLEASE. PLEASE.

HAGLER….IS A BANGER!!!! Mr Porter put his foot into that beat for you Jay…that one has to make tha Cut!!! I love your calm I-make-this-look-easy delivery over that cosmic soundscape that Porter laid down!

Not too far…This is Texbook Jay right here, I say this track stays because this is you in a comfortable familiar space. If it aint broke dont fix right!?!

Annakin’s Prayer, hmmmm….The content has a very deep shock value to it but it probably might go over too many kids heads…I see this track having a better home on a mixtape or side project rather than a album.

I hope my 2 cents added value to this evaluation process!!!

finish all of ‘em..

Finish all them please!!!!!!!!!!!!

i need to produce a track on this bitch… lol

Well my Fav Here is “NOt too far from Nuthin” By…..BEAT Autopsy…MOre Tracks Jay More Tracks Let em Know…Word is This cat is going to be The Future…

Anakins’ Prayer is heavy!!!! The beat is heavy, and subject matter a little different to what most might get, but all the same a heavy heavy track.

The other tracks are the same, definately needs to be finished as they sound really so far and it would be a crime sir to leave them on the shelf.

Dump the first one.. The last 2 are nice though.

coming from an up and coming producer…
i love Hagler… its eerie and different. Mr. Porter goes hard with the synths and drums. that sample brings it to a new level! and of coarse, Jay is a beast on the mic.

Annakin’s Prayer was a lil tuff to listen to. there’s too much going on.

Not to Far from Nothing is xtra ill too. Jay’s just what the game’s been missing. i cant wait to hear an album or somthing. fkk it im anxious to hear a full mixtape!

Keep em` all. Show them why God put you on this earth.

Keep em` all. Show them why God put you on this earth.

definately keep

definately keep…cant wait for the rest!

Keep the them all. Number 3 needs a better beat thou.

Annakin’s Prayer is genius i dnt care what u do with the others jus make sure thats on the mixtape i cant stop listenin to it.

wait, were any of these going on Act II? is that even still dropping?

ActIII????

1. Annakins Prayer – KEEEPP!!! PLZZ finish. some ppl won’t understand but fuck em.
2. Hagler (demo) – Plz finish that one sounds like a classic to me. BANGER!!!!!!!!!
3. Not too far from nothing – i got to get that on a cd in my car. BANGER!!!!!!

N.O STAND UP!!!! THE SOUTH IS BACK!!!!
JAY ELECTRONICA = FUTURE OF HIP-HOP
all other rappers go to sleep and take notes in your dreams.

Finish them ALLL!!!!. NOWWWW!!!!!! My favorites are 2 & 3. BUMP EM!

Jay Electronica is on an entire different level.
Arguably, the future of hip-hop.
Personally, I would like to see Jay collaborate with Flying Lotus.
That shit would be fire!

“Hagler” is ridiculous Keeper!

“anakin’s prayer” is ill. i’m not a star wars fan, but the track is a thumper & the concept is highly original & dope.

mr. porter’s a dope producer, but the vocal sample on “hagler” detracts from the verse. jay kills the verse. this would be a certified heater to me if there was less of that sample in my ear.

the beat on “not too far from nothing” is too monotonous & repetitious to me. i dig the mood of the track, but i think jay’s verse needs something with a little more flavor to make this a keeper. obviously this is a rough mix, but i really had to strain to hear the vocals.

my fav would have to be hagler the other two are good but if he is trying to reach the kanye market which it looks like he will be doing with all the buzz for the last years, i don’t know if the masses will accept the mad max atmosphere of those tracks (remember people didnt get company flow when they first came out). i personally would like to know the movie anniken’s prayer comens from?????? anyone know.

oh and p.s. its good to finally hear actual tracks from this guy seeing as how VIDEOKING doesn’t do mixtapes (saturation please stop and put more work into making good albums). lets hope all the hype will make for something to look foward to.

dump em…

after hearing transformations, the pledge, extra extra, these tracks don’t seem that great. GOOD, but not great.

peace.

I’m really feel the Hagler song that shit is Hot For Real. Annakin’s Prayer: we could do without or try reworking it. Not Too Far From Nothing: It OK!! But that Hagler Shit FIRE. Thats a Head Bobbin Song

Not too much I can say cause things ain’t finish. There’s direction so I guess that’s a good thing. I’d bump or dump depending on the finishing touches.

Annakins Prayer is awesome. Some of my friends say you comin too slow. I told em you’re apathetic like anakin. I love it man. Hagler is awesome too.

Keep it up man.

SWEET LORD those r FUCKING ILL ! but for me “Annakin’s Prayer” is the standout, super advanced delivery on that psycho of a beat, especially the moons,sick/slick mofucka,slay devil LINES. wowser my dude your def on ur way to being the greatest, honestly.

jay Elect : Listen to my beats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – click on my link!

the clarity and precision lies in Annakins Prayer. this is a wonderful composition that allows the old heads who was listening to you remember you, while pointing us forward to a new frontier . it is a masterful sound that encompasses a journey be it conscious or unconscious (but we know which one to chose) of our experience. it propels us into places that we are forgotten or erased i.e. science fiction. now we are making our way through rux,ladd, ra(may peace be upon him),delany and butler to name a few. the unknown universe a place where black souls exist and wait for the right time to appear. in this, we and our ancestors live on creating and improvising the galaxy.

saudade

keep em all, if anyone wants transcribed jay elect lyrics for like 30 songs

http://www.zshare.net/download/509125756ed4e18f/

Intros to each song seem way 2 long

DAMN…jay if you DON’T keep that hagler track I swear to god as a big fan I’m going to be so fucking pissed with you. That track is so ill…wow too many quotables.

Yeah!! that hagler (Demo) produced by Denaun Porter is the heat !

Hagler is ill. The other two could use some work.

yo u a beast jay.

Finish Hagler and Not Too Far From Nothing, both sound potentially epic.

Not really feeling the first 2 but that “Not Too Far From Nothing” has crazy potential… beat is hard.lyrics are tight. but you gotta murder that beat tho and you’ll have a keeper.

I have 2 beat CD’s full of production just for Jay Electronica…. holla at me mstreetz1@gmail.com

jay when r u coming out so i can invest my 12.00 dollars

Whatever you do keep Annakin’s Prayer, the track is a marriage to your style. I was blown anyway when I heard it, only you and MF Doom could pull this one off! Not too Far From Nothing is dope as well but not really feeling Hagler as of yet. But I’m ready for whatever you drop, it’s a new day!

Annakin’s Prayer is brilliant.
Lyrically Crown Chakra.
With the Third Eye staring
Glare can
Crack, glass jaw Nagas with the Osirian Opera.
I’m the Omnipotent Occular
Rapper with a problem, bruh…

Soon, Jay, we’ll rhyme together. When I came across your music I found hope; I found a fellow traveler. I’m in Atlanta; right by CP. I’m out here. Peace.

I apologize for not giving a full critique. Keep them all. They’re all beautiful. Any creation that you originate should be cultivated. You’re learning to channel/translate the implicate; this should not be subject to critique or abbreviation. If you don’t want to include it on Abra- find another medium. Once you put energy into a project, regardless of scale, you breathe life into it. There is no virtue in stunting positive energy. Your music is positive.

Aight so where is this album at??? Jay keeps niggas guessing..first Act 2 and now this…

Not Too Far From Nothing is insane…

These beats are weak… He needs to reach out to Beat Fanatic! Jay what up??? -Sponatola
