Remember Jay Electronica? Yeah, the guy signed to Roc Nation nearly two years ago? Well, as part of New Balance’s Excellent Makers series, the reclusive Roc Boy gives a glimpse into his life. It’d be funny if it took a sneaker brand to get Jay on the right foot.
This guy…
ALL I CAN SAY IS WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
TWO SONGS EVERY THREE YEAR AVERAGE
[…] Rap Radar […]
[…] Read the rest of this great post here […]
what is with this dude? he drops 2 perfect songs, then 4 OK songs in the years after, then nothing. the lane is wide open for him right now – we’re neck deep in mediocre debut albums from people like yelawolf and j cole right now.
If you been rapping since 10 years old and at 34 years old w/ a major record deal you still haven’t dropped a debut album you either suck really bad or you need to give it up before you get dropped. #dobetterhomie
get in the studio bum
How about making an album?
“Every process is a process that is a process in its self.” Authenticity is just being yourself…if it was that easy we would all be being ourself.” What is he saying?
He’s “Detox” in the flesh.
real lame that rap radar got some kind of profanity filter. i should be allowed to curse and say whatever i want on here. i made a thoughtful comment that didn’t get posted cuz of profanity? in fucking hip hop? lets be real.
all these people talkin the same impatient bullshiit that people said about JCOLE.
“boohoo wheres the album?”
don’t you get it? he is making the music right now. JCOLE took like 2 years to get his album out, and Jay-z specifically said he’s not trying to rush artists and make singles, he’s trying to build artistic careers.
if you guys aren’t willing to read or pay attention then shut the fck up, this is the music industry
Detox
LOL and people were saying he would drop an album before Cole. Please…Cole will be at album #5 before he drops his debut album
Jay is either confused or super lazy.
where the hell is this excellence that you speak of?
Song was really dope, substance and flow. Cole cant touch dude lyrically
I don’t know who moves slower Jay or Dre.
Nice commercial…now if we could get a proper album, or mixtape, or an EP, sumthin??? I’m just sayin…
Jay Electronica is a myth..

*yawn*
Let me know if & when this dude decides to drop some fuggin music again…been missing for almost a damn year & put out a commercial? I’m all for the creative process & taking your time to put out a quality product but this dude is just ridiculous with it now.
jay elec, please drop your album. give the whole world a mood change. we need you right now.
If you appreciate good music, & you believe in Jay Electronica, you’ll sit down and wait for the Act II. Faith is everything.
where’s Act II my man? your lack of faith in the force is disturbin
Man does not stay consistant; he’s lame. eccentric clashes with relevance with Electronica.
He did it without stuttering! thumbs up!!!!!
Cool to see you collect the checks!!!!
I DON’T CARE I LOVE JAY ELECT!!! HE THE BEST IN THE WORLD
Jay-Z Need to take him to the Dentist…
Yall remember what Jay Z said about J Cole dropping an album? He said,”You need to bring me a finished album and have me drop it on the floor and step on it and tell you go do another one…”
You don’t just get to make an album and drop it on Roc Nation. Jay Z for whatever reason feels like artists need to go through something before they can be good artists even if he has to put them through it himself. If Jay Elect brought him an album and Jay told him to go do another one even better, how long do yall think that process would take? JE is slow already. Just a thought.
fuck a project. fuck what’s official/unofficial. he still better than everyone we’re listening too and you know it.
