You know this for fact?

Be interesting to see if you're right, I think it will drop though...

There is no definitive incentive for dropping it. He's already getting shows all over the world, and having never released an album. He realizes he will never go plat. Doesn't matter. He'll still get shows because of Exhibit C. He promises Act II to keep him relevant and the shows coming in.

It's an interesting concept, but you don't spend over a month in the studio to not release something to amp up an album... if it's promised, release it... he's not the type of emcee who couldn't follow up on the hype... so he should keep it flowing and eventually release it...
I see what you're saying with no real incentive in a way, but that's like Nas sitting back on Illmatic as a 19 year old and saying to himself, ahh this will hold me down for a good decade. I think Jay Elec has a lot more hunger than that.

Nas was coming up in the golden age of hip hop. The culture was to make and release music. Nowadays, getting buzz and getting shows off that buzz is what's important to most rappers who can't go plat. The hype is still there. Dude gets crazy love for one fucking track. Only ~60 tracks available. He's winning like crazy.
Act III is most definitely going to be released...maybe in 2 years.

I understand the need for promotion and shows, but I think you mistake Jay for someone who's about the cash only, when I think he's more so about the music. I think this shows with his creativity on Act I to Exhibit C.

I get what you're getting at, my point is, he lives for the music and wants to put out his music and see how it is responded to. The same reason Jay-Z steps in the booth every Spring to bring a new album, only Jay Elec steps in with a passion.
Point is, whatever Jay Electronica touches at the moment is nice, if he has all this music from 6 weeks in the studio (as reported in the video) then he's probably sitting on a lot of dope music that he will want to release. Otherwise it's a waste of studio time... IMO.

Nigga lives because he breathes. He has at least 3 projects that are finished that you will likely never see. Why? Because the monetary benefit does not exceed the risk that he puts out a mediocre tape and kills all buzz he has.
Oh, and he isn't invincible...this is coming from a stan. He put out a terrible verse on the Super Nova feature. His Game verse was average. The Paul Wall verse was repetitive and mediocre. He has a damn good discog, but besides Million in the Morning,Act II ruff, and the Curren$y feature, everything else has been bad.

Im curious to see how this one plays out...i definately think you made a valid point about releasing a mediocre album and killing the hype. In the end though, I think he is gonna drop it.. When? not sure but he will in time. I think kenna also makes a point about his passion for the music itself. I've heard a couple interviews and he seems hungry...

He had to take risks to get to the bolded stage, he'll keep 'em coming IMO. Maybe not this year but certainly first half of 2011, we'll get a new disc to spin.
Maybe he is riding the tracks that have gotten buzz, but if he continues to not release things, dude will be labelled lazy by most (as is already happening now).
Nice to hear he has a deal for Act III, but would be stupid of him to skip a number IMO. Makes no sense.
But we're going backwards and forwards over something that we can't agree on without hindsight.
I just hope he comes with something soon.
