Has Jay ever confirmed that hes a 5 percenter? I know he rocks the chain and all, but did he ever come out to say it?

He did come up in Brooklyn in the 80s and early 90s which was the capital of 5%ers, so it will make sense if he is one.

He just says hes spiritual and reads on all of them.

So hes still not able to totally admit it.

I get it though. No matter how much you make it 5 percenters are controversial as fuck.
 
This album will come to age like fine wine and people won’t appreciate it till much later I think.

Electrician was low key spitting on this

Verse on Ghost of Soulja Slim took a while to rise on me but its fire

If it come from me and Hov, consider it Qur'an
If it come from any of those, consider it Harām
The minaret that Jigga built me on the Dome of the Roc
Was crafted, so beautifully, consider this Adhan
From a hard place and a rock to the Roc Nation of Islam
I emerged on the wave that Tidal made to drop bombs
