New Unreleased Jay Electronica Album? - 'The Awakening' (Circa 2000)

[Valentinez A. Kaiser]

Will give this a proper listen but nice to hear so far he's always been consistent with the flow and subject matter.

FYI that "New Orleans" track ended up being "Something to hold onto"

2016 is going to be a very special year

 

[Shawn Jay-Z Carter]

Damn last time son dropped an album I was still mobbin time really flies

 

[BobOblah]

Whoa GOAT. Off a preview that Supreme Mathematics has a same verse as Something to Hold but I don't think I've heard anything else. Who's got a download link?

 

[BobOblah]

In before Jay Elect tweets that these weren't supposed to be released and he was gonna release 1 song a year until 2030

 

[EyeofAsaru]

The lyrics are amazingly strong but the production is lacking

Some nice gems on here tho

 

[RawAce]

Woooow

So something to hold on tocame from multiple songs

Crazy the road he has taken

 

[south4life]

Guess this is the only way we will get an album from him

 

[Colin$mackabi$h]

Lord yeezus!!! My weekend is set..

 

[CashmoneyDux]

So does this count as an album

 

[Lincoln]

There is some debate as to whether it's really him, but apparently this dropped in 2000 and then disappeared from the internet. It's now resurfaced.

Annnn not one fck was given cuz his buzz died, had a funeral and was buried along time ago

We might have a candle light visual for the nigga but we ain't caring like we use to

 

[TheGOAT]

There was a thread on this a few days ago

...nobody cared

Dude is an arrogant idiot SMMFH. He's sitting up getting mad b/c fans want an album or even a mixtape from him and he's scoffing at them. We're not just asking for new music b/c we want to "bother" you, but we also asking b/c we think you dope enough to have a long-lasting career and therefore be able to provide for yourself SMMFH.

He can diss J.Cole and Drake all he wants but they're about 3-5 albums deep not including mixtapes. Bullshit a rap if you want.

This. Niggas get a lil buzz then think they Jay or Nas or someshit like they got enough weight to not have to drop a mixtape. Shit 50 might be one of the most successful rappers in the game and he still drop mixtapes

Eye still think Jay E is one of the greatest lyricists ever

The man be spitting some deep shit

 

[RawAce]

I don't think JE view music the way everyone does.

An artist is his that, a creator of art.

There's no time table or constricted structure on how art should be made or released

Jus getting paid to be heard is all alot of artists want or dream of. It's the fans and the press that make everything about dates, sales and imagery

Just realized its going on year 7 since I first heard Exhibit C, smh. So much talent unused. Maybe he found another calling.

 

[Noble Al Lee]

An actual album would be nice. But I could live off his current discography just the same. Hes got songs I've heard over a dozen times yet still catch new jewels when I play it back.

I still got hope that we'll hear a complete album from electro.

---sincerely, an electrolyte.
