i think they mean failure as in commercial success, even though hes successful now. but he couldve been so much more, but everyone is on they own path. this was his
I just want to say I love these comments. It's been a long time since I've heard people discusing the meaning of the lyrics in a song. I love the attention to detail paid by the artist and I love seeing others pick up on it.
all out masterpiece on all levels, breathing life into what they said was dead. love it, lyrically sound just literature and musical Sistine chapel of hip pop
This is so insane. I'm always amazed that I can have such a love for indie folk music, classic rock, 90's rap, heavy metal, and insane fucking awesome hip-hop at the same time. People who limit themselves to genres are missing so much.

Man.. Jay.. you've been writing and producing for SOME TIME NOW... it's time the lost sheep know who you are... THE TIME IS NOW!!! You are powerful!!! THEY NEED TO KNOW! True hip-hop artists!!!!! THEY NEED TO KNOW!
That was dope as hell...Clearly dude is pulling from sources previously untapped. He is rolling with the right camps too...Roots, Mos, Dilla (RIP), Nas, Badu, Hi-Tek, etc.
Jay Electronica, your fans, are ready for the work and product. It's time to put your previous track to rest, and give us what we've all been waiting for. It's time.
@SeptemberGroup This is classic music unlike the fast food that many are putting out today. The labels want whats in now or for the moment. Real hip hop is classic and it has the same effect whenever you listen to it. Its a beautiful art that the corporate execs will never understand.
Not sure when Jay came out, I don't remember him when I got into hip-hop early 00's ... I was down with Non-phixion, dilated peoples, Aesop, Rugged man, Cage ect just to name a few.Atmosphere, and old school stuff like gangstarr, masta ace,
dude...im so proud to be from new orleans right now..im realizing that a guy that can bring hip hop back was born in the N.O. and i love it.. i was always a hip hop head..so lyrics always came first. i was always chose jay z,nas,biggie and the roc a fella crew over shit like the hot boyz,504 boyz and bounce music
@ezes6zy Its good to hear everyone is on the same page with Jay Elec. I feel the same way. This is a breath of fresh air. Real hip hop stand up. This is the best I have felt about a song or particular artist in a minute.
@thesikkesteva Thank you.. Two thumbs up. Good music has no borders or boundaries.. "Aint no best.. East, West, North, South, flossed out. Greetings..."

B**** if you listen I'm paintin' pictures of HOPE" -Before I'm Gone. He is crazy lyrical, deep, has multiple tight flows. Is versatile, has a clean sound. can hold down his true fans as well as a mainstream following. came up through adversity.graduated college summa cum laude,so he's hella smart.He has the works.
If you check Just Blaze's first show on Shade 45, he played a song where Mos Def is singing on a beat that Talib Kweli recognizes as a sample Madlib had used. That track is Exhibit B. Not to mention I saw them make it in the studio on Just Blaze's live stream. Easy mistake to make though!
@hotcoffee15 I feel the same way my dude. Hip Hop in its truest form. I almost broke my neck when I first heard Exihibit C on the radio. I'm a little late on it but never late than never. It feels like 95' again.
Cole is a fucking lyrical monster aswell. His mixtapes the come up, the warm up and friday night lights are better than most albums that's dropped in the past 10 years.
Spring 2024 still knockin 🎶

People say Jay Electronica is one of hip hops greatest failures yet he’s came out with gems like these.
They only say that because he didn't choose commercial success over artistic freedom.
People talk too much🤦♂️🤦♂️
He made hip hop classics, that's a success to me...Record sales are not an accurate metric for talent
i think they mean failure as in commercial success, even though hes successful now. but he couldve been so much more, but everyone is on they own path. this was his
RIP my pops this was his shit
Sorry to hear man
This is everything I love about hip hop, hard bars, hard flow, hard beat and actually talking about something worth listening to.
2020 this song still gives me strength... Salute!!
o7
STILL some of the best rap I have ever heard. And this is 13yrs after the fact.
hearing all 3 of these songs together just makes me get a proud feeling inside. i don't know how to explain it, but jay electronica is the truth
I just want to say I love these comments. It's been a long time since I've heard people discusing the meaning of the lyrics in a song. I love the attention to detail paid by the artist and I love seeing others pick up on it.

Im still shocked every time I hear this... goose bumps... the last bars of exhibit C I still study his flow on that part... too Cold
all out masterpiece on all levels, breathing life into what they said was dead.
love it, lyrically sound just literature and musical Sistine chapel of hip pop
my momma told me never throw a stone and hide ya hand
If this guy goes mainstream and fucks everything up, I'm gonna cry,
Stay indie.
Stay high.
Still there and respected😊

He can rap no doubt. But my favorite thing about him is he seems REAL. Something the world is missing these days
I think he was brilliant, very much underrated. I guess a lot of people never gave him chance.
Not sure when Jay came out, I don't remember him when I got into hip-hop early 00's ...
I was down with Non-phixion, dilated peoples, Aesop, Rugged man, Cage ect just to name a few.Atmosphere, and old school stuff like gangstarr, masta ace,
The Billy Stewart loop is genius!!
WAKE UP AND BARE WITNESS TO WHAT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN,

f**king fire. After listening to this I feel like I took a hit of some pure uncut hip hop and imma be high all day off dis.
He reminds me of Nas and Killah Preist they got the same flow
Well, he was inspired by Nas to even start his career.
Tyrone Tucker u yovvovicxuo
He has a Nas tribute song, doesnt he?
virgos.
this is the realest hiphop artist out or one of them

@hotcoffee15 I feel the same way my dude. Hip Hop in its truest form. I almost broke my neck when I first heard Exihibit C on the radio. I'm a little late on it but never late than never. It feels like 95' again.
I swam down shits creek and came out clean w a new lease on life Andy Dufrean.
Cole is a fucking lyrical monster aswell. His mixtapes the come up, the warm up and friday night lights are better than most albums that's dropped in the past 10 years.
This dude album about to be crazy
i would love to hear a collaboration from him and Lupe Fiasco
