it applies to you my friend.


You still here interested in what I have to say about an album you don’t like or care about.

 

[Mr.LV]

doubt joe is even thinking like that lmao

Joe Budden has said it himself on his podcast that Jay E hasn't done enough in hip hop to get all these Jay Z verse for a debut album

 

[AP2.5]

if you have to ask maybe you should sit back

or you can just clarify what this means...Shrugs

i've seen a lot of people compare a lot of new music to it trying to sound like "griselda" and i dont understand why, so i was wondering where is the connection?

The machine gun adlib is literally the only thing.

I dunno why they included that shit, tbh

 

[Race Jones]

But you just said you only listened ONCE.


You don’t even know what the fuck they are talking about.


and because you don’t understand em, it doesn’t mean that he’s nice.

But because you didn’t really even listen to it, who cares about what you hafta say for real.

Just sayin

I listened to the album 2 days in a row.
at first i was like this is a 1 and done for me but the way yall niggas was acting like it was the second coming of christ, i said hmm maybe im missing something??


come to find out, yall be stanning and lying

Stanning and lying about what?

Lol

Again, this just keeps getting funnier. The only thing I’ve said in this thread since the album dropped is that I like it and that I think it’s damn good.

 

[Race Jones]

and hes right. nigga should have let that man do his own album. maybe give some advice since jay e forgot how this shit goes

:word?:

 

[LurkerSix]

Some of yall waited a decade to hear a rapper drop an album. And when it came out, you mainly heard him quote from scriptures and speeches. And you hotep niggas consider this 5 mics.

Shit is basically TED talk excerpts over beats.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[AP2.5]

oh ok. do you listen to griselda?

yes

the subject matter not the same

the production not the same

the cadences/flow/delivery not the same

for more context, I thought "the plugs i met" was one of the best albums I heard last year and I've been entrenching myself in Westside Gunn's catalog over the past few months

 

[Jeromeallentown]

This thread still open? Sheesh

 

[LurkerSix]

Jay Electronica is basically DJ Khalid on his debut album. He does some talking, while other niggas rap.

 

[Race Jones]

yes

the subject matter not the same

the production not the same

the cadences/flow/delivery not the same

thats the only griselda album u heard? benny?

what other albums have you listened to because a lot of ppl has said this sounds the same.

nobody is talking about lyrical content or rapping style

 

[SeaSnake]

Somebody on twitter said this and I couldn’t agree more.

“ These guys rapped about Solomon being in the desert. Spiritual awakening, Origins of the Nation of Islam etc and the only thing these negros want to talk about is who has the better verse. Man we gotta wake up!”

fuck outta here nigga had one line about Solomon and it was basic there was nothing to dissect. I’m thinking Jay Elect was gonna drop the secrets to Solomon ring type shit. If conscious niggas trying to say we sleep they trippin. This shit was not deep.

race, boo, are you skimming my posts...lol

I've listened to a ton of westside gunn as he is my favorite in the group

you said they tried to be griselda, and i wasnt sure what that meant which is why i asked you to clarify

 

[King Freeman]

Shutcho dumbass up especially when you said Lil fucking Baby. Nigga your opinion is shit as of today when it comes to music. Jesus Christ nigga said Lil Baby

It's better than jadakiss' album but niggas will lie. I've listened to 3 new albums in 2020. Jada, lil baby and hov. All 3 of those shits was lukewarm.

 

[SeaSnake]

Failed rappers w opinions ....... #scust

well I mean after this Jay Elect a failed rapper
