Jay Electronica just signed to Roc Nation!

[usmarin3]

It's not about whether or not he's the "right fit" for Roc Nation.

If you notice, Jay-Z (lol I can't even just say Jay now) sorta learned from his and Dames mistakes with Rocafella. Everybody in Rocafella had the same subject matter and was basically cut from the same cloth. This time around he seems to be picking up people who are already talented and have a buzz in their own rite and just let them keep doing what made them popular in the first place.

That was his problem with the original team...nobody was self-contained except for Kanye. Everybody needed his help to be relevant..and as you can see now that they don't have it, they've disappeared. Jay clearly doesn't have time for that being an artist himself, so he changed his model.

Thank you, i was tryna explain it to this dumb bitch this morning. Talking about why won't Jay shout out J Cole in interviews and what not like Drake and Wayne, i'm like Cole needs to show he can stand on his own, he doesn't want that Memphis Bleek Jay-z sidekick role. These artist need to have their own movement going, so in case the popular rapper (Wayne,Jay,Kanye,etc) aint hot no more, they don't go down with the ship.

I don't understand how this move is getting so much hate. This dude needs powerful label support to be able to do the kind of music he wants to do. J. Cole is doing that right now, and he's got the fans going crazy. It's a different world, it's not about record sales anymore, it's about fanbase, and ROC Nation artists have that in bundles.

If you see a hater point him out.

Jay Electronica, Curren$y, and Mos Def have a group: Center Edge Territory. All three artists are now managed Jay, Dame, and Kanye, respectively.

So here's something for you conspiracy theorists.

The Roc didnt fall apart. They just switched stash spots.

Jay Electro is just happy to have a platform to release his music. Now he'll still be relevant if Obama pushes that button that shuts down the internets or when/ if Badu moves on to another talented young lyricist (Diggy?).

He could have released projects at countless times. I don't think anyone who never heard of Jay is going to all of sudden check him out because he signed to Roc Nation.

 

[xRapHeadx]

Jay Electronica cares about money, so this signing is a natural fit. I'll never knock the next man's grind.

[Ounceman]

im a huge fan of jay elec. and considered him to be one of, if not the best artists in the crop of new emcees trying to breakout. but i dont know how i feel about this signing. on one hand i see he did it for the money. but on the other, i feel like his talents are now going to go to waste

 

[mek]
