Third Eye Blind
Joey Badass’ annual STEEZ Day Festival took place two nights ago in Los Angeles. Sometime during the concert, Ab-Soul blessed the stage and recited some bars aimed at Troy Ave and Jay Electronica. Battle for the third eye?
fucking crackhead better keep troys name out his mouth
How about you recognize this is hip hop and quit cryin’ ho. When Troy should’ve kept his mouth shut he wouldn’t do so. Now, it’s all come full circle. I feel for him, but he attracted this chaos to himself.
Wtf u gonna do bitch? This TDE and the whole west coast behind us
it take a faggot nigga to kick a man while his down.
oh like Troy did Steez? FOH homie

after control system i would told you this nigga was better than kendrick, smh damn
then he went left
Ab Soul got bars and an opinion… But anybody who thinks Kendrick is
actually a better rapper than Jay Electronica doesn’t know anything
about rap.
Kendrick is a FAR SUPERIOR ARTIST than Jay Elec, because ‘artist’ includes work ethic, live performance and answering your calling within the art form (whatever that calling may be), but as far as actual bars, the two emcees aren’t even comparable.
If Jay Electronica wasn’t a bum and actually released his music/a;bum when he was supposed to, not only would this not even be a conversation, it’s my firm belief that Kendrick wouldn’t even be in the position he is today. He is as talented a rapper as Kevin Hart is a talented comedian, but if Katt Williams wasn’t a lunatic crackhead who went off the rails, the throne wouldn’t have even been vacant for Kevin to sit on.
Jay Elec was crowned as THE SAVIOUR OF RAP when he entered the game, but he didn’t deliver on that promise and it was then that hip hop appointed Kendrick ‘King’ because he was the closest thing, in that he stood for bars over materialism, he stood for the essence over what hip hop had become. But unlike Jay, who has absolutely ZERO work ethic, Kendrick EMBRACED the path and raced toward pushing the culture forward.
But as far as actual rap goes, I won’t even indulge a back and forth over who is the better of the two. It’s like comparing De Niro to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Listen to Jay Electronica’s verse on Common’s ‘Kingdom’ remix and tell me who alive right now even has the ability to spit like that. Listen to Exhibit A (not ‘C’) and compare it lyrically to any song of Kendrick’s or anyone else’s.
The phrase; “Music is subjective” is the biggest myth you will ever hear. It isn’t. Vanilla Ice is Vanilla Ice and Rakim is Rakim. Facts are facts and with that said, as far as rap goes and only rap, Jay Electronica is in a class of HIS OWN, whether you agree or not, the facts are the facts.
To give crystal clarity, Jay Electronica is Earl Manigault. Do your Googles.

I agree with most of what your saying so my comment aint a counter to yours, I’m just adding on. Lets say Jay Elec was just an underground rapper with no fame? Didn’t care about any rap thrones, or crowns and wasn’t trying to be the savior of rap or wasn’t concerned about releasing an album unless it was on his time? All he cared about was rhymes and beats period…
If he came up and said google Jay Electronica – The Complete Discography as of May 2013? People would say his music and work ethic was ridiculous. And there’s an albums worth of other songs outside of that on the net as well. Peace to Ab Soul for the competition bars though but just like Jay Elec came with Curse Of Mayweather shortly after being challenged by a fan about his skills vs Kendricks, I’m sure if he felt the need to he’d have dope bars for Ab Soul too.
