    YO I KNOW WE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME FOR ACT II, BUT I TRULY BELIEVE THAT JAY ELECT IS GONNA DELIVER AN ALBUM WORTHY OF TOP 5 STATUS ALL TIME…

    HE STILL HAS A TON OF MATERIAL THAT HE HAS BEEN KEEPING QUIET, JUST WAITING FOR THE RIGHT WAY TO RELEASE IT

    JAY Z WILL GIVE THIS MAN THE ATTENTION HE DESERVES. YALL GONNA SAY THAT JAY Z WONT PROMOTE HIM AND WILL ONLY GIVE HIM AS MUCH BUZZ AS J COLE

    BUT YALL WILL LISTEN TO ANYTHING JAY Z IS FEATURED ON.. JAY Z WOULD HAVE TO BRING HIS ABSOLUTE A GAME TO BE ABLE TO STAY ON A TRACK WITH THIS MAN

    THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR HIP HOP EVEN IF WE HAVE TO WAIT LONGER BECAUSE WE KNOW SEE THAT JAY ELECT WILL GET A PLATFORM THAT HE DESERVES

    PLEASE DONT TRY TO BE NEGATIVE. THIS WILL BE EPIC

  12. Chex says:

    Im fine with this as long as Jay Z doesn’t make Jay Elect go pop like his sorry ass. Jay Elects album should come before Coles, but will definitely include a Cole feature.

  17. mac DIESEL says:

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  18. B. Digital says:

    Jay-z is building a nice roster over there at Roc Nation. As for Jay Electronica, I thought he would keep it independent but at the very least he gets the right amount of promotion and gets better tour money.

    WIZ KHALIFA WIZ KHALIFA WIZ KHALIFA WIZ KHALIFA WIZ KHALIFA WIZ KHALIFA
    :Best choice to me for roc nation is WIZ KHALIFA let’s hope jay get’s wiz next/100% best choice for hova

    But this is Very nice news//
    jay electro was a +6 rep automatic choice for roc nation//
    These black men are more interesting then any white artist
    just because there songs are more about the truth out there
    then a white man singing about is lame girlfriend again or just vulgar white slangs at an extreme//

    PM:Best choice to me for roc nation is WIZ KHALIFA let’s hope jay get’s wiz next/100% best choice for hova// then make a super group/ J-/electronica//riri //j cole //hova ////wiz
    :)

    ^^^

    I think his main successes have been Rihanna, Rick Ross, Ne-yo, Young Jeezy.

  21. ben says:

    super dope. i heard about this awhile back. finally, someone i fuck with on roc nation besides hov.

  22. 15jaymall says:

    I’m a HUGE jay-z fan but when it comes to pushing out potential good, hitmaking talent his track record isn’t too good, with the exception of rihanna and maybe ross, who can you say? Kayne was all Dame and Beans was a G.O.A.T candidate, time will tell though.

  23. B18 says:

    JAY ELECHANUKKAH

  24. harlemite says:

    Yessssssssssssssssss!!!!!!

  25. i said YERR says:

  26. Cli-City.. says:

    Roc nation, Young Money and G.O.O.D music is gonna take over….yes all three….Because commercially Young Money is gonna be the hottest, Musically GOOD Music and Lyrically Rock Nation

  27. t@at&t says:

    when your the best rapper in brooklyn your the best rapper in the world/

    JAY-Z NEEDS TO SIGN RAEKWON from brooklyn there probably the 2 best rappers in the world right now///
    MTV is managed by white jews and black pedophiles ((sorry but you need to give them money or pussy or else they don’t break you when your young= MTV management))

    PM: ACTUALLY why the HELL was Raekwon not on roca fella in the first place that is there biggest mistake of all time as a label.

    And fuck MTV 10//raekwon makes the top3 spot for me //jay/yeezy//raekwon//
    eminem slangs is to white trash and he’s looks like a old man rapper now anyway// plus waka flocka instead of raekwon in top 10//it’s like i told you money will get you far you can buy anything with money/ even the police can escort you to a show if your a performer and it’s legal just have to pay for it?”)
    So JAY only sign rappers from brooklyn except wiz khalifa
