WHAT YOU WAITING ON
Jay this is getting silly. You've got hiphop hanging off your every word and you haven't even made a product yet. No viral videos. No r&b feature joints. No rapper feuds. You haven't even gone over any 808's instrus yet? Are you for real?
Everything feels mighty real.
Please, Please bless us with more.
---> also goes to Just, who just sonned every one with this beat >>>>>>>

Love Czars II
Now, i generally see 'mp3 snippets' as a depressing symbol of musics demise . .
--- > seriously, and particularly concerning hiphop, do we ever give pieces of work the volume of listens they deserve? backlogged download manager and rss reader syndrome
However when Jay Electronica is involved, the rule gets somewhat relaxed.
Add this to that candyman snippet that literally has me defenseless. The man is playing with us.
MP3: Sa-Ra Creative Partners - Love Czars II (ft. T'araach & Jay Electronica)
Not that this is a 1 man show - the tune was a jam before this re-rub -

Rain
either the New Royales, Jay Electronica or both need to drop something roundabout now. I'm running out of things to play at 01:57. I keep reaching for the youtube. for this.
A DJ Khalil instrumental cdr would do.
off to fight the flu under a NY hoodie, 2 duvets and a load of thoughts.
gilles too.
& why can't anything that beautiful [video] happen in the car park's near me. It's all mondeo's, mcdonalds & figure 8's.

NO HYPE
it’s eerie like that documentary on lisa lopez
pentagrams pyramids conspiraspicies with goat heads
knock down the levees
knock down the projects
start another project
build another object
a drive thru touchscreen doctrine for me to digest
just horses with our blinders on
drivin’ by the obvious
ridin’ by the obvious
glidin’ by the ovbious
regardless who you vote for
if the mind dont grow
and the poverty line don’t go
but the dope keep coming
and the tv keep flashing images of a
sports car
then you bound for a coke war
the meek get clowned by the coke law
the sheep get drowned in the folklore
then lulled to sleep by tom brokaw
what a pitty
the hope on a politicians tongue
never ever trickles down the city
so if a nigga put a presidents mask on
and run up in the bank with a mac saying gimme
i aint glad at him
but i aint mad at him
if anybody ask you who i be
say
a painter with a felt pen who drew ali
im like cassius when i blast molasses
out the ass of the masses
from fulton street mall to gratiot
im handin out free at last kits
“yo jay where ya staff at?”
“Green (Lantern) said you threw it”
yeah.
i outgrew it
some blogs said “you blew it”
nigga fuck yo blog
jigga man said you cant knock the hussle dog
im on the same launchin pad that shot russel off
thats why i stay dougie

Jay Electronica Performing
@ the Nokia Theatre Show Supporting Mos Def while ago.
I still think there is something really special about him. .
Going to be looking out for the new mos stuff extra hard after that verse on the nu roots track. .Apparently theres a track and a half with madlib!

What makes Jay so special?
...He went on to confirm that Jay Electronica will appear on Nigger, as producer and MC, after thoroughly...
URB
After reading the briefest of interviews, do you think Nas will vocalize his praise for Jay on Act II? a la Just and Erykah on Act I.
...I remain completely in love with the material i've heard from him. Apart from some thugstep with Lil Flip and Guilty. Eugh.

i send the devil to hell every time that i get wicked
I never got shook up by talks of Illuminati
I’m from where niggas talk that talk
then walk around the streets all day
carrying heat like the human body
stress – we mastered that
death – we laugh at that
you niggas sweeter than the cog-ni-ac
i never sleep and when my eyes is closed
i’m in a deep battle for sheep. i’m an insomniac.
but when it comes to the rhymes, a hypochondriac
the flow so sickly, splash a hot round on me
peel off quickly. luckily,
now one of you niggas could fuck with me
i hit you with a plus degree
mind detect mind, plus mind detect matter
with that i say peace to the g.o.‘s
and all my niggas locked away in cages, giving shit to the c.o.‘s
doing long stretches on the track
cuz they fell into the trap of the Neo’s
the Farrakhan of rap, giving dap to the people
busting shots at the eagle
with the arrows in its talon, sneaking shots when you peep through your peephole
spit the abracadabra, manipulate matter with a black magic created to eradicate evil
so if they call me a rapper, okay yeah i can dig it
but if they bring me before the congress, then i can kick it
i send the devil to hell every time that i get wicked
i get to eye (something something) basura, yeah, i get lifted
one for money, two for the pussy and fame
three hundred’ll go to the court to change my name
like cassius. the past just show me lessons.
stay on my grind and pray that time will show me blessings
was my old model. i’m from the magnolia projects
where dice rollers and heroin addicts is role models
so i had no choice but to kick it to full throttle.
my nigga’s in Philly’ll probably tell you – the bol’s thorough
now, either you with me or you with me
cuz even if you against me, running with my enemies
they ain’t nothing but mini-me’s
that i created long, long ago
and they only want to cut off
my lineage like the kennedys
that being the case,
you should be aware I blast many a face
and left niggas displaced like Katrina did
and gave them very little with nothing like Fema did
and I ain’t never seen a bid
well, there was one time when me and ali tussled with one-time
for claiming our sovereignty as a nation and bloodline
you niggas should give a standing ovation
to the mc who stands in the face of satan
hitting them with Creation
Deep Deep Deep Deep.
Jay Electronica is on another level. . Making hiphop excite in '08.
Thanks to OhWord.
MP3: Jay Electronica - A prayer for Micheal Vick & T.I (We Love You Family)
Seriously, on a personal level. It's like first time I heard ignorant Shit. Heads might argue but its just me.

Memo To Fern
Start the day, and indeed the month with this Valentines video from Jay Electronica. . Again showing how creative a man he is. . No idea whats going on if I'm honest. But fern sure is lucky.
Some new material/news on him around the corner. .
- - - - - - - - - -
Closely linked. . Theres a brilliant Just Blaze interview @ Hiphopgame where he talks about Saigon, state of the music industry, future productions.., Jay-Z.. among others. Check it.
Some people loved “Show Me What You Got” and some people hated it, but from the musical standpoint when you get into the instruments, you can’t hate on that. That record was meant to be performed live. When I made that beat, I didn’t expect it to be the lead single for Jay-Z’s comeback album. I knew Jay was going to be touring with a band, probably Amir and the Iladelhphonics and that was a record that they could rock. That record was going to be a showstopper where the bass section could get busy and the horn section could get busy. If you ever saw that record with a live band performing it then you'll get it if you didn't before.
