School me on jay Electronica

[biggar]

Cant say I know all of his shit but the track "Exhibit C" is one of the best rap records of all time in my opinion

 

[DMTxTHC]

Jay Electrolysis, probing the globe like a geologist/ putting all you pussies on display like gynecologists.

 

[alibaba]

Never understood the fuss around him...seems like all talk and lil action (music wise)

 

[Kame]

They call me Jay Electronica
Fuck that.
Call me Jay ElecHannukah
Jay ElecYarmulke
Jay ElecRamadaan Muhammad Asalaamica RasoulAllah Supana Watallah through your monitor.

This was the first time I was actually impressed by the guy:

Then I heard this and was convinced:

This is my personal favorite by him:

And this is his biggest masterpiece:

"Call me Jay ElecHannukah, Jay ElecYarmulke/ Jay ElecRamadaan Muhammad Asalaamica RasoulAllah Supana Watallah through your monitor."

For those that don't know, 'Asalaamica RasoulAllah Supana Watallah' is a way of saying a prayer, which Muslims usually say after mentioning their prophet Muhammad. Kinda like how Christians say a prayer, then say 'amen', but in reverse. And a 'yarmulke' is a traditonal Jewish hat, the bars i posted^ alludes to Jay Elect's spirituality.

This nigga had multi-syllabic rhymes in another language, nobody can't tell me that Jay Elect isn't dope, and that Exhibit C isn't a classic.

My fav Jay Electronica song

You niggas sweeter than the cognac/I never sleep

And when my eyes is closed, I’m in the deep battle for sheep, I’m an insomniac/

And when it come to the rhymes, I hypochondriac

im a huge jay elec fan and think exhibit c is overrated. i like exhibit a and b more. :/
he seems like a throwback rapper. has knowledge of self and of the world, but still can connect on a hood level. creative and has a lot of good songs that range from old school sounding(retro electro), to social conscious like swagger jackson's revenge and everything in between. i think he's a rapper's rapper, which means real mc's and rappers can enjoy and appreciate his music more than the average rap fan now. his flow be on point though.

from what i saw so far he doesn't have many meaningless throw away freestyle songs, but i love this.

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

he is a dope lyricist but a lazy one too. He has some great songs but in his late 30's still has no offical album. He averages 2 mins of rapping a year

 

[usmarin3]

If Lauryn Hill, Nas, and Andre 3000 had a baby it would be Jay E. He has the street narrative sensibilities of a Nas, introspective like a Lauryn Hill, and a abstract delivery like a Andre 3000. He also has the laziness of 2 of the three.
