Jay Electronica is one of the last hopes for mankind, I mean hip hop. Now all I need is that mothaf**king album by the end of the year.

Wow, this is awesome. Musically and Lyrically this is HEAD AND SHOULDERS above anything out there right now. This is how you modernize Hip Hop. This is how you take Hip Hop further. This is what it really is to be a Hip Hop artist in 2009. Will the world agree? Probably not. I don’t care. Fuck me get that album out already….

Come back to Atlanta Jay.

Dope.

Jay is a writer. His propensity to pen a compelling personal narrative and still throw flames while developing the character is ill.

So many professional rhymers can be reproduced. Today, almost all of them can: Jay can’t. When I try and put people on to Electro I tell them to read his lyrics. You can throw his shit in a textbook. There’s a little bit of Langston, a little bit of Toni Morrison, a little bit of Clarence, and then the razor sharp b-boy braggadocio. When you think you’ve heard some of the dopest most creative shit that can be said on wax, Jay goes:

“Call Me Jay ElecHannukah
Jay ElecYarmulka
Jay ElectRamadaan Muhammad Asalaamica RasoulAllah Supana Watallah through your monitor”

C’mon, man….

That Jay ElecLive from New Orleans Exhibit C? I have mad degrees & doubt I possess the vocabularic havoc to properly emote on what son just blessed the Just Blaze joint with!

Sorry I ended that sentence in a preposition, but I’ll bet you’re wishing that Will knows the math. Fuck son, I know the whole division… Did you ever wish when The Last Great Craftsman made it his mission to have you listen, it’d be the world’s best decision?

Jay Electronica… Fuckin’ Banoodles Hot with his…

Stay in step…

DUTCHMASSIVE | THE HOBBYSHOP HERO

I can’t front, not even for a moment…….

The original material I heard from Jay Elec, like Sunshine, and DMT, Voodoo man, etc I wasn’t feeling, In fact I had no Idea why all this hype was surrounding duke……

my 1st judgmental thought was he was A spaced out version of killa priest and just never payed him anymore attention…..

When I heard, Exhibit A…….. I went nuts! I really loved the track to death and it still is in heavy rotation….. I then heard…..Love Czars II, the SA-RA jawn, feat. Jay Elec and ta’ raach… and then I really was feeling him, the song is classic, tho the way the song is mixed, and how they have the vocals doubled up sounds like a bad mixdown, Jay Elec’s verse is classic…………………..

After the 50th time listening to Exhibit C, I gotta say, The Hype makes sense………….. From his 1st word to his last he blew me away……. He is not my favorite emcee, but I must say with the proper production, and if he keeps inking verses of this caliber then the world is in store for A dope dope dope album when he finally decides the time is right to release one!!!

It’s crazy how a beat, or A sudden spark of drama , inspiration turns a thought into a verse which ends up on a track that is forever immortalized!

dope Idddddiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish!!!

amidst all the bullsh-t rap and so called hip hop, a blessing of true arsenal rises from the surface to our third eye. and thank you J. Blaze for rising the production bar once again. This is what I knew would come from a cenergy of these two getting togather.The rhyme and beat were A+. Actually with extra cred. This sh-t deserves a Grammy.

Damn…..I can finally exhale! I see who the torch of true MCin’ should be passed to. I hear Diddy is producing some of his tracks? I give Diddy his props (BIG, Black Rob, Mase, Craig Mack, LOX) I hope he doesn’t fuck this up; spending all this time with the the Girl/Pop/R&B groups.

The God did his thing on Exhibit C…and what’s really fuckin cats’ up is the fact HE IS NOT FROM NEW YORK! No more of this cookie-cutter bullshit on the way artists should sound because of where he/she is from! Being that I’m a DJ, his song is in hot rotation wherever I spin!!
