New Music: Jay Electronica “The Curse Of Mayweather”
February 15, 2016 @ 4:40 PM EST
Song
Son Of Man.
Just when you thought Jay Electronica didn’t rap anymore, he delivers his first (and maybe only) recording of the year. On the self produced track, Elect fires a few strays that will surely warrant retaliation.
Damn bout time this nigga came out wit some new shit
Finally some of that righteous fire!
This year is looking good.
It took 50 Cent to say he didn’t know who he was for him to release some new music? Damn, Maybe Curtis should do a whole interview for this n*gga to release a whole album
LOL
GOOD one.. lol
………………HA!!!! 50 ALWAYS MAKES EVERYBODY FEEL A CERTAIN AWAY!!!! LMAO!!!!
#QUEENS
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Cause he’s a hoe nigga with bitch like tendencies…. Insta fingers, no bars, and apparently nobody affiliated with him can have success without him attacking and accusing them of disloyalty.
That there is a definition of a fuck nigga, regardless of how much money he has.
HE BULLIED YA FAVORITE RAPPER, HUH??? LMAO!!!! YOU CAN’T TAKE GOLD CHAINS WITH INSTA FINGERS, FUCK NIGGA!!!! HA!!!! YOU SOUND LIKE A DISHEARTENED BROAD!!!!! HOE NIGGA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
AND I BULLY YOUR BITCH ASS LIKE THE FUCKBOY YOU IS!!!! DONT MAKE ME EXPOSE YOU TO THE FOLKS THAT DONT KNOW YOU, JAYWAN!!!!
why would “the folks that dont know” him care about him being “exposed”? cmon son!
YOU JUST DONT GET IT, KID
– mac’s nut hugging fanboy
YOU BITCH MADE
– mac’s nut swinging fanboy
I HEAR THE WHIMPERINGS OF THE SICK LIL FUCKBOY EVEN WHEN HE AINT MAN ENOUGH TO RESPOND IN HIS OWN ACCOUNT. FAGGOT GOTTA HIDE TO DEFEND HIMSELF. THATS HOW I KNOW YOU AINT NOTHING BUT A BITCHBOY, JAYWAN!! I PUNK YOU ALL THE TIME!!!
we dont believe you! how does it feel knowing that greek culture vulture mikey esco is the only one on this website that thinks you’re telling the truth
KEEP AT IT AND WE WILL FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE TOO AND YOU WILL BE LIKE “HOW SWAY?” LMFAO
by your definition isnt jay electriciy instafingers with no songs? how many successful brothers has jay put on? should we compare to 50?
bruh got drunk and felt tough and randomly threatened 50 cent with violence outta nowhere (knowing he wouldnt dare do shit). 50 brushed him off cause hes not on his level and dont wanna give this bum no free promo and jay gets butthurt about it cause he cant take a joke.
tell us again who has bitch like tendencies?
Always like jay elect but with no album out all his shit talking about being the best is starting to get old.
THE BADU CURSE!!!
Jay Elec – “he’s got eleven grammy nominations ya’ll not equal/Maaannn…. FUCK THESE WHITE PEOPLE!!!”….
#THE REALNESS
I loved this part ha!
welp, that’s problematic.
Problematic no, truthful yes!
Problematic? Please… If you scared then idk what to tell you.
Dope record but he should of had the background noise lowered a little bit so we can hear the words clearer.
i agree. i like the beat tho.
Dag, Jay is spitting but the drums on this track are wack. He’s obviously the NEXT #MosDef #DopeBarsWackBeats
Jay elect this shit sound good!!!
Im not feeling the kids screaming yaaay through out the whole song. Other than that he had dem lyrics on deck.
why he always put that shit in his songs?
Lol yo I have no clue.
He should stick to bars this production sounds shit is this un finished
That’s how all his music sounds
As a hiphop fan ….The potential of a Kendrick vs Jay electronica battle would be crazy!!! But I don’t see kdot getting in to that sadly.
I agree. I think if this was a couple of years ago he would respond but I think Kendrick’s main focus now is helping Compton and kids that look up to him.
Kendrick can take it as a diss or he can recognize there’s larger context to the song and the statements made and realize he’s not really being dissed. Jay talking about being a dope rapper but there’s context and other references and subjects connected to the rhymes.
It was a slight…he tried to son him…..how you gonna diss someone when your resume is so thin?? It’s don’t add up!
Megamind
If Kendrick feels some kinda way and wants to escalate the situation then he can pick up his lightsaber and get busy… Nobody is ducking a fight with Kendrick but on some level you gotta recognize where the song was really intended. Its beyond Kendrick.
In what sense it’s beyond KDot?
Megamind
In the sense of from a lyrical standpoint, 99% of the song is directed at people other then Kendrick himself.
You honestly think he’s better than Kendrick?? Based on WHAT?..the 2 songs he drop per year?? GTFOH!
I like Jay Elect…but until there’s a BODY of work upon which to judge…he’s just a dope rapper throwing rocks at the sun! How is he better than a cat 4 albums deep who’s tried, tested and true?? This nigga got like 6 songs total!…3 of them shits have Prodigy, Hov and The Dream on it!
I’m not saying he might not be able to BATTLE with Kendrick…but this shit ain’t just about battling. And Kendrick is JUST as if not deeper than this cat because he speaks on a uniform level. Not every cat can get into the “God Body” content of Jay Elect…I’m from NYC…so I know where he’s coming from…but more cats can relate to a “Sing For Me…Dying Of Thirst”…than ANYTHING Jay has dropped from a introspective standpoint. And we already know K Dot blade is sharp with the lugs/bars!
So again…HOW is Jay Elect beyond a cat who is ARGUABLY the best rapper doing it right now?? LOL…We both just stated our points…but the metrics are facts…Victory = Kendrick!
Megamind
Yes I think he’s better then Kendrick. Yes based on 2 songs a year. Do I need to base my opinion on what you think? No. I have over 50 songs from Jay Electronica so I have plenty to base my opinion on. If you think its only based on 2 songs thats fine with me.
Fuck a body of work. To me that isn’t the ultimate determination of whether or not somebody is dope or not. Cyhi and Mickey Factz have no official albums and I think their ALOT iller then Kendrick. Ras Kass has like 3 albums in the last 20 years and I think he’s iller then Kendrick. Elzhi, Deltron, Immortal Technique etc… Artists with less bodies of work then Kendrick and I think their all better then Kendrick. Fuck a body of work. Exhibit C, A, Announcement, Road To Perdition, Ghost Of Christopher Wallace, Shiny Suit Theory, Departure, Jazzmatazz, My Would, FYI, Better In Tune, We Made It, Call Of Duty, DMT, Eternal Sunshine, Extra Extra, Spark Em Up etc etc… Gives me more the enough to not only say he’s better then Kendrick but LIGHT YEARS better….
So fuck albums. Its 2016, I get why people make big deals outta having an album but go download Jay Elec’s whole discography mixtape and make your own damn album.
You talk about introspection? Songs like Dealing, Something To Hold On To and I Feel Good sound pretty introspective to me so that chamber aint an issue for Jay Elec.
I don’t think Kendrick is the best rapper doing it right now. I think Lupe is, then MCs like Ka, Fabolous, Skyzoo, Cyhi etc…
I feel like Jay Elec, I don’t care what commercial success he has in terms in terms of strictly bars. In that case I’d say Ab Soul is iller… I get Kendrick is the crowd favorite and he’s ultra famous but that don’t mean I gotta give a fuck about that.
No.
YES
You totally get it.
These naysayers are just Kendrick Swallowing Rosenbergs.
Word.
TL:DR…especially after you put “FUCK A BODY OF WORK”….clowncake/fan shit!…
I HATE when stans/fans/homer…in ANY form of entertainment to enthralled to admit FACTUAL shit.
Kendrick isn’t a crowd favorite…Drake is!….
This clown cake ass nigga talking about “fuck albums!”…WTF type of nigga is you man! LOL…FOH!
Jay Elect is the best that NEVER was!…to you at least!
Megamind
I met Jay Elect in New Orleans last year and blew him in a Wendy’s parking lot while listening to “Alright”! Best night of my life.
Homotroll take your faggot ass mentality elsewhere. Foh
Yeah fuck a body of work and thats because you people can’t think beyond the borders and format an album and recognize skills even when its obvious. I did say clearly that I get why people want an album (because of skills demonstrated already) but lets not get it twisted. Jay has exhibited enough high level skill for anybody to clearly see the nigga is as dope as he says he is. Same with Cyhi, Big L, etc… Artists that don’t have a bunch of albums out but are clearly recognized off skills alone.
I never said he didn’t have skills…but he has SPECIALIZED skills! How can you say he’s better than someone who’s SHOWED he can make multi-format songs & RECORDS…there’s a difference between the 2!
I used to be able to throw a football 50 yrs off my back foot in high school…that’s a skill!…so I’m better than Cam, Peyton, Eli or Brees??!
Skills don’t mean SHIT if they’re not refined! That’s why I don’t knock a nigga hustling their music in front of a barbershop…or back in the day a record store with the CD player in hand for you to listen on the spot!…At the level that all the rappers you mention, they ALL have skills…but who’s going above and beyond to SHOWCASE those skills?? Who’s putting in the work?? it’s not always the most talented who make it…this BUSINESS requires…acumen, skills, discipline an DEDICATION…all i see from Jay Elect is skills!…which ain’t enough to say he’s better than a cat with all the aforementioned! And not to mention raps 2nd biggest draw (in the new school!).
Megamind
Well I think Jay Elec has SHOWED skills. I don’t need a list of songs in a particular format that has been packaged up for me to buy to determine how dope an MC skill set is. Would I like that from JE? Yeah but do I NEED that in order for me to comment on his ability? No. You imply JE skills aint refined? I disagree. I think he has SHOWCASED his skills and I don’t need him to “make it” in order for me to reach that conclusion. I don’t need to see how great JE is at business because maybe his business has worked out for him, Idk know him like that but again I get why people want and album and again, I also want an album but if I had to make a comment about his skills vs Kendrick? I have a long list of songs that demonstrate a skill set that imo is beyond Kendricks and I don’t need them to be packaged up in a format and sold to me by a middle man in order for me to determine that.
This also brings me back to Big L. He only had one album and most people didn’t even support that and the ones that googled it years later weren’t too crazy about it either but we still look at Big L as a lyrical great. Why? SKILLS and thats regardless of his lack of albumS and catalog. RIP. So JE doesn’t have an official album? Ok well the skills is still at a level high enough where they can be recognized as great imo.
You talking about “FACTUAL” shit? What is it that you think I’m lying about? What is it that you want me to admit that you think I’m not? That Kendrick is iller then Jay Electronica? I don’t believe that so I aint just gonna say some shit cause thats how you feel.
Facts are in the metrics…that’s what I’m speaking of…I’ve acknowledge you’re speaking as a fan…we’re both stating opinion as it pertain to WHO we like…but JE doesn’t have the same metrics as Kendrick…it’s all talk and no show…so I’m good!
Enough already…and I’m definitely NOT reading all your comments…because they read like opinion pieces…I’m not trying to convince you otherwise…
Megamind
Again, I think Jay Elec has SHOWN because I have alot of music from Jay Elec so I get the argument your making but its not an issue for me. I have projects/ mixtapes from JE, I have songs from JE, I have lyrics to look at from JE so the fact he aint packaged it up in the format of album to be released commercially doesn’t negate anything I’ve heard from him.
How are you the ONLY one with this content?? LOL…Where can i hear this content? I’m a crate digger and never hear MIXTAPES (plural) worth of content! I could be wrong…but I’ve never heard it!
And it’s not about just having a commercial release….YET it is…you can’t be the baddest man on YOUR block…but never battled or put out content to go against the CITY’s best. That’s like saying my homeboy is better than Hov…i think he’s good…but he must not be that good if he never made it!
Megamind
Google Jay Electronica The complete discography as of May 2013.
Now if your a crate digger then you should understand where I’m coming from because you don’t need any albums or particular format to judge skill if thats the case. If you in them crates then you know its value even in a 5 second soundbite if the artist is dope. So certainly a mixtape with almost everything JE has recorded should be enough to clearly show evidence of dope.
If Jay Elec never “makes it” in the music industry or never goes beyond the block in the city he’s from, thats fine with me. I still can determine the man is dope and imo better then alot of those that have “made it”. I don’t need the fanbase of another artist or the industry’s opinion to validate what my own ears can determine.
Indeed…we NEED fans like you…and that’s not a diss…support the artist you feel that way about…buy tix, content and merch…that keeps them alive.
He still ain’t fucking with K Dot!
Megamind
LYRICALLY he is, album or no album, fame or no fame but yes I would like an album from him as well.
We’ll agree to disagree G!
Megamind
Its all good but aside from this talk of an album, that I would also like to see materialize from JE. The lyricism of Jay Elec is just like the red pill in the Matrix. Its a door that if people have an open mind and decide to walk through, they’ll find its worth looking into.
Not a chance you sexy beast! Bring dat ass to me!!!
Netflix and chill?
You say Jay Elec is throwing rocks at the sun but between him and Kendrick, the only one I hear that deals with the science of solar system is Jay Elec.
Pivot from the subject huh? OK
Megamind
I left a big ass comment about the subject already. Smh
Bruh! I already TOLD you that I’m a know-it-all! Just look through any of my comments! If you don’t agree with I’ll just write another 12 page essay on why I’m always right about everything! There’s no point in arguing with a genius such as myself! P.S. I hate white people just because! Now get out of my dreams and get into my car. Let’s fog up the windows…
LOL, your mad.
Does it really even matter? Shut up and kiss me.
Now you’re mad! LOLOL…so you go to my original comment and get snarky! LOLOL…Nigga GTFOH!
Jay Elect is dope…but all the super scientifical shit he be spitting is bullshit and a contradiction! He’s the most PRO BLACK nigga…but chasing behind a Rothchild who’s family is KNOWN the be in the “Circle”. He want his Black Queen in Badu…talking all that bullshit…then on the other lady jock!
You can listen to that shit in your basement with a tinfoil hat! I’ll take KDot, Drizzy, Sean, etc….miss me with all that fake revolutionary shit him AND Lupe be spitting! I’m good!…I’m old enough to know better! Maybe you’ll catch on later as well.
Megamind
First of all, learn to recognize a troll when you see one. I don’t leave comments just saying dumb shit. My comments are about the topic at hand and they contain information that aint all emotional and outta context. Thats one.
2ndly. You say all the super scientifical shit is bullshit and contradiction? I disagree, I think science is the work of intelligent design (“God”) that man can see with his own eyes so imo all the scientifical rhymes you call bullshit is not bullshit at all. Yes he fucked a wealthy Rothchild, I don’t care who this man is dealing with personally thats his own business but I think he can still be pro black and have love for black people even if he’s fucking a woman from the most wealthy and powerful family on the planet. We don’t know if he’s “chasing” her or if he just shot his game and she went for it but again thats his personal business.
You say miss you with all that revolutionary shit because your mind has never gon through a revolution enough to recognize the value in the lyricism of Jay Electronica. Again I get people want “relatable” music to listen to. Some shit thats not too complicated and that expresses easily understood ideas that everybody has experienced. Thats fine but I think its also great to make the music thats not relatable. Outside of the boxed in mentality that most people have and that expresses ideas and philosophical points that people have not done the knowledge on, do not understand and have to put on their thinking caps to decode.
Good luck with all that bro…I don’t do the troll shit…I’m a grown, adult man…so I’m taking what you’re saying verbatim.
The rest TL:DR….i already have knowledge of self and MY God…good luck with the School of JE!
Megamind
Clearly I’m telling you that just by reading the comments you can tell there was a troll but you shoulda been able to read my comments weren’t about no funny shit. You have knowledge of self but yet you knocking lyricism based in science. So yeah you have knowledge in YOUR God but tell me this is your God acknowledged as something “scientifical”? No and that separation leads to the fact that you may have been deceived in terms of what you were told about YOUR God. This is not about religion to me and I have knowledge of self and I’m God body and I was raised Christian and still hold those beliefs but I NEVER separated science from “belief” because once anybody does that? Its only a “belief” in what you have very little facts about. Its like people that can tell you everything about Jesus but when you ask them was he white, black, arab or asian? Then they do a bunch of verbal gymnastics… I think the “school of thought” JE is coming from is one that should be observed in Hip Hop. Its been here before in the form of Rakim, KRS One, Nas and Wu Tang so why not Jay Electronica.
You, me and a bottle of K-Y! Let’s get it on!
I’m a know-it-all. What can I say? Between that and blowing truck drivers, that’s all I have going for me!
I like Jay Elect but I can’t get excited about anything he does any more. It all leads to nowhere. This whole releasing one or two songs a year is just pointless now. His real mistake was not dropping an album around the time Exhibit C came out. That was what… 6 years ago and we still don’t have 1 album. Like since then Wale, Kendrick, Drake, & Big Sean have all dropped multiple albums and have flourishing careers. This guy has been busy going up to breakfast club and not giving an interview and talking about Ronda Rousey & 50 Cent who are folks that actually work hard and are more successful.
Preach.
If Kanye produced Jay Elect’s new record I’d subscribe to Tidal. And I’d write reviews for the New York Times and Pitchfork.
DAMN
AWWW 50 I’M CUMMING FOR YOU PAPI <3
have you just come out the closet
The Greg Oden of rap finally dropped some music lol
Lol this clown nigga said we’ll smack 50s eyeballs loose.
Jay trash
So 50 said who is this guy and he releases music? Haha savage from fif.
The best thing to happen to fifty.
now that he dropped his 1 track for the year he can go back to drinking his life away in foreign countries only popping up to try and sound deep while hating on people actually putting in work
I have no problem with the diss I like jay elect, but I don’t know what comes from this if none of these guys respond with music. I think I see his aim here I think he really wants a response so he can try and destroy these guys and get everybody excited about him again it could work if they bite. 🙏🏿 jay elect prayer hands
I doubt his intent is to “destroy these guys” because if you asked him if he would like to see Kendrick “destroyed”? He’d likely say no. If he wants to get people exited again? I’m sure he has channels to get his music through (such as this very post) without “destroying” these guys.
also this dude acts like hes a god of rap or some shit he aint even dropped a debut album yet his career hasn’t started lmao
WHO’S GONNA TAKE THE BAIT? JAY ELEC HAS NOTHING TO LOSE!!!
FK YO FEELINGS!!!
YA FAT GREEDY MOMMA WILL!!!! LMAO!!!! YOU GOOFY ASS CRACKA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
OHHH OK JASON YOU HAVE YOUR STRENGH BACK FROM YOUR LIL HOSPITAL STAY!!! YOU SICKLY LIL POS!!! I SHOULD HIDE YOUR INSULIN YOU FKN POSER!!!

we still waiting on that proof michael,. you went ghost on that last post when you got called out for being a liar with no actual evidence to link mac to jason.
WE KNOW MAC IS PUSSY ASS JAYWAN AND THATS THAT
how sway? i wanna believe you guys but you need to provide some solid facts and not just hearsay. i know mikey cant prove it cause he wont respond.
THIS AINT TRIAL AND WE DONT NEED PROOF. WE JUST KNOW AND THATS FINAL
so you admit you got nothing. okay then.
either sh!t or get off the pot elect… k. dot and cole done dropped bodies of work. i think bro scared to not be better than them dudes
@ B.Dot
Just when you thought Jay Electronica didn’t rap anymore, he delivers his first (and maybe only) recording of the year.
^
BREAK OUT THOSE ACE OF SPADES, BENSON!!!! YOUR FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC FINALLY FOUND A RECORDING STUDIO!!!!
……………..HA!!!! A LAZY ALCOHOLIC WHO DRINKS THE DEVIL’S NECTAR AND SLEEPS WITH A BLUE DEVIL AT NIGHT!!!! ELIJAH MOHAMMED WOULD FROWN UPON THIS FALSE PROPHET!!!! LMAO!!!! THE NERVE OF THIS CLOWN!!!! WAITIN’ ON THOSE 50 MEMES AND THAT KENDRICK ETHER!!!!
#FALSEPROPHET
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Dissin the best out and the biggest hip-hop troll? I’d get excited and call it “typical album promo” but we know better at this point. I think Ms Rothchilds keep him on the payroll like “here’s a black card jay now you’ll never have to drop, just do you” #keptman
Guys droppin Big references. No one under 30 gets.
First you get old. Then you get bitter. Then you get lonely and
thirsty for attention. Finally, you do some simple shit like this. If
they ignore him for another week he’ll disappear again for another 5
years. He like a Genie in a 40z bottle who only grant ratchet wishes.
Come out every few years catfishin. Foh bruh.
……………..HA!!!! WORD!!!! THAT’S WHY THE NOI & FOI IS A JOKE AND PURE FUCKERY!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
damn son, you split that skull motherfukkin opennnn!
Dis old fuck is wayyy over rated, garbage…still mad Kendrick killed him on da “control” verse…Jay E verse was dope but nobody remembers it…Kendrick is in a different league dis old head gotta play catch up witch will never happen, dats why he’s all bitter & shit…
He always talking about how he God. How he was sent here by God. Well do something. I like Jay Elec , but it’s real easy to talk when you only put out music like you making Detox.
This song is pretty decent but honestly i’m just starting to get annoyed by Jay Electronica. He drops a song a year but randomly starts running his mouth about Kendrick and 50? I don’t care how good you’re one song a year is, if you can’t produce content at a consistant pace then you don’t get to talk shit to other artists. Come with an album or just quit rap and carry that overrated wifey Badu’s bags around for her.
This bum should have got a job and put in some actual work and got his granny out the hood so she didnt have to die scrubbing floors at 82
It was meticulously written but it still sounds flat and I wasnt blown away at the lines either.As a fan I’m real disappointed. Instead of drunk tweeting he drunk dissing now. Tryna sound majestical while being emotional about fif and kendrick. And if he was gonna go this route he should at least go Hard. Rap voice sounding like a breezy sunday afternoon on a Diss track? He starting to look like Johnny Manziel. Wasted Talent.
if tidal exclusively releases the jay electron album – they’ll officially win.
