Final Edit
The more I listen to Jay Electronica, the more I realize that many other artists ain't really talkin bout shit.
Foreal 😂😂😂😂💯
So To pimp a butterfly don't exist ???
YUNG ILLY 5600 Kendrick is an outlier. He’s also me favorite rapper but notice that you only named one person.
Facts
Nathan S. True but Jay Electronica is one of the artists that helps lift the veil some people are just made not to be able to hear sometimes.
one of my fav Dilla beats
Yesir
You prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can stream all of the latest series on KaldroStream. Been watching with my girlfriend for the last days xD
@Jaxson Alberto Yea, been using instaflixxer for years myself =)
You got good taste in music bro I see you in a lot of comment sections
I thought this was a wutang beat
"The pope is his brother, the hillsides is his mother, the statue with the torch and steel eyes is his lover she's a harlot. Who stood still like time while New York turned scarlet and the levie monsters sucked up New Orleans" goosebumps every time.
👆👆👆look up that handle, he ships swiftly, surest plug 🔌🍄
What does this mean? Please, I need to know.
@@TheMollyman420 he's talking about the US government using metaphors
@@TheMollyman420 The pope (religion) is his brother (the one you argue with) the hillsides (nature) is his mother (who nurtures you) the statue with the torch and steel eyes (statue of Liberty representing freedom) is his lover (the one who seduces you and make you feel like you’re good) she’s a harlet (tramp, because the freedom she represents is a lie). At least that’s my interpretation
@@TheMollyman420 he’s saying that the US is the whore of Babylon described in the Bible. America is for sale therefore, “She’s a harlot”.
"The Pope is his brother. The hillsides is his mother. The statue with the torch and steel eyes is his lover, shes a Harlot ... "
Genius!!!
Actually sounds more like ARYANS in general
Who stood still like Time while New York turned scarlet and the levee monster suck up New Orleans. INSANE
Seriously. I have gotten the chills every time I hear that line and I’ve been listening to this song for like ten years. The way he paints a picture of some villain just beyond our understanding is so effective and keeps me coming back to this song. Makes me feel like there’s monsters in the world to fight.
And made it look easy.
How many rappers u know gonna shoot a vid in Nepal. Jay a real dude for that 1, spitting science
Facts Bro
one of a kind 💯
Or name one of their song's Dimethyltryptamine. Or even know what DMT is
Worddd I'm from Nepal and Jay a Legend for doing it
G. Reid CRT C
This is God level rap...still here In 2020 on the heels of a written testimony 🤲🏾
facts...”oh I must be dreamin’, a lady in a nightgown puffin’ kush screaming...”
I haven't even heard a written testimony yet, only became aware of Jay Elec around when it dropped, so have been grinding through his old songs on repeat since
he could have went harder on a written testimony . but the song here is flawless
You're not wrong
AMEN!
Not 1 cuss word used. All heat. All jewels woven in a slightly esoteric fashion. I'll never stop listening to stuff like this. Salute.
Why he rap like he reading from revelations.
He raps like MF DOOM
Respect the architect, never test the ELOHIM
Cause he is.
Lil B is Jay Electronica's ghost writer. #TYBG
@@FrankWillTV how u know that? Or you trolling?
No lie, this is one of my favorite songs ever, any genre. Dope video too.
Facts
I've been listening to the same Jay elect songs, this being one of them for about the last seven years on and off and every time I come back to it I come across something new. Personally I wouldn't be mad if he never made anything else. If you listen close enough he's dropped more knowledge in a handful of songs than almost any rapper has in their whole career no matter the length. Long Live Jay
MaDDTraXX1 nah fuck that. He gotta drop some more. Why him of all people gotta be the only one that dont drop. That shit is agitating just thinking about it
Man your comment is like a 6 bar rap
That’s facts.
@@seandafny shut up cry baby
BoDee6100 no its not fair. Hundreds of weak ass rappers drop shit everyday. Hell even some of the 1s i like and think are great drop every year or so. But out of all of them when i first heard Jay Elect in high school i chose him as my favorite, and out of ALL of them he’s the only 1 that doesnt even rap lol. Its not fair. Now i know how them people on Forest Gump felt when they followed him into the middle of nowhere and he just stopped and went home. Smh
Verse: Jay Electronica]
Pigs with the heads of men spat acid
That lasered my third eye closed like LASIK
A midget in a casket like a baby in a bonnet
With a bottle and a basset horn playing the theme song
From Children of the Corn, oh I must be dreaming
A lady in a night gown puffing kush screaming
Signalled me over, "Psst, you with the waves
I’ve seen you from the Catholic church steeple diggin' graves
I got your number sonny
So ain't no use of fighting, yelling or running from me"
"I never ran ma'am", "Well then you ain't a clever man Sam"
Listen, the two-faced king from Britain and Rome
Had a baby in a bush on the grassy knoll
Where they peel back the orange head peel of a gnome
He said "Hey MC, I know you like killing 'em
You terrorized the skies for 25 millenniums
Now you settin fire to land
You the lion, you the savior, the messiah, the lamb
You need back up, you moving on the youth at dawn
Call Badu and get Tyrone on the megaphone
Tell'em I sent you and your codename is Megatron
If trouble comes use your brain like a telephone
He'll take you to the Chocolate City
Where two-face and the prince of darkness had a Committee of Snakes
Drill 'em, let the skin peel off to reveal him
Then spray 'em wit them rhymes you like spilling
Hit 'em up real, real good but don't kill him
We only want to burn him to the point that they willing
To give the location of the blank face villain
Who split atoms and give mushrooms to civilians
Hiroshima never recovered and all the evidence was smothered
Under a thick cloud of rubble
The pope is his brother
The hillsides is his mother
That statue with the torch and steel eyes is his lover
She's a harlot, who stood still like time while New York turned scarlet
And the levee monster sucked up New Orleans
While they was playin' man vs. man in Afghanistan
With they mind on Iran, Iraq and Sudan
Let him recruit you, he will try to use his powers to seduce you
Just let him think that the feeling is mutual
Because if he found out that you already knew
The atom had a positive, a negative and a neutral
He'll probably salute you
Then wait till you turn your back like a coward and shoot you
People this shit is crucial
Fucking lit
Can you give more insight im really intrigued
@@walterzayas9380 he's describing america🇺🇸 .. pope is his brother..hillsides is his mother..statue of liberty is his lover.. America blew up Hiroshima Japan
America recruit people into their army (they salute) just to throw them back in the streets with no honor or kill em however you wanna decipher it.
-Sweez Muzikk (YDK Sweez)
Trapped in My Darkness (find me)
@@walterzayas9380 this is about jfk's murder by the cia in collusion with wall st and the military+cia giving shrooms to people as an experiment (mkultra)+the development of nuclear weapons and their use by these same forces+the occult and nazi roots of all the above
@@walterzayas9380 also, how can i forget, 9/11 and the new orleans levee during katrina and Afghanistan and further neocolonialism in africa and so much more. This shit is crucial
"Tell em I sent you, your code name Megatron, if trouble comes use ya head like a telephone" fuck.
YaKuZa moon. Lmao

He went over everyone's heads with this one.
@J H gyat damn
J H ur name...FUCK YOU

Been learning about “ancient wisdom” and jay electronica rapping about it is a confirmation of it all
JAY ELECTRONICA is the best rapper of all time.
*****
already did, still not on this level but yea hes dope
Nah Killah Priest is far better than Jay elect .... Jay elect look up to Killah Priest ... Go listen to Killah Priest - Atoms to Adam
So where is my doom in all this?
Jay ele is the best to ever do it
lupe fiasco....cambatta...would have a say in this
Jay Dilla on the beat for you youngsters that don't know.
Props to Jay on the song.
Tony Montana was looking for this comment. most don’t even know
Never knew
Jay & J
Dilla Dilla beats beats
every time I listen I peel back another layer. Jay goes wayyyy in!
+Patrick McCormack Word!
+Patrick McCormack I've been trying to decode this song for years. All I can see is that a certain angelic being came to him with-in his dream and gave him a mission. The mission was to infiltrate government or some secret society out there via music to find something out. When I read about him linking up or dating that Rothschild woman, I keep thinking about his mission and this song as if he was telling us he is only here to complete a task and is not really caught up on the fame from hip hop.
+Yusef Talib Siraj El-Bey i have an idea but i wanna know exactly who two face and the blank face villain are
+Yusef Talib Siraj El-Bey i have an idea but i wanna know exactly who two face and the blank face villain are
FACTS
If only he'd release a full length album!
what would that change? I see this everywhere I can still here his music it might take longer then what I want to wait but he doesn't dissapoint with the tracks he drops
omar g I just want more music lol
Lol word! I prefer quality or quantity since we have no choice 😂😂
+omar g haha...thank you...I feel the same.
MH DOOM Why hasnt he bro?
Still the greatest rap verse ive ever heard in my life
Over most heads, do research on his bars.. its even doper when you know what he's talking about
ArmageddonMusiq link some stuff here so we can read
Engineer Eleven look into teachings of Alchemy, from there you can choose to sink or swim, your choice. just dont drown. pay attention
Jay Electronica in my home country. Reppin' Nepal, spitting some real rap. Jay's always been on a completely different platform than other rappers. So excited for his album finally coming out this year :)
4 years later... Lol
STILL WAITING
Well.. im a nepalese as well.. and i dnt mean any hate or anythin cuz i liked the beat and above all.. him shootin a vid in nepal.. but damn.. im on EMINEM'S side..
To hell with this dude
enh....2019 and that's album ain't out yet🤓
Ah this comment aged terribly. It’s okay though, I’m sad about it too
Every once in a while I come back to this and think about what was, and what could have been.
this is GOD LEVEL rap, respect. 40 days and 40 nights
The greatest hypnotic hip hop beat ever paired with one of the greatest verses ever. Untouchable.
th-cam.com/video/ZUqWj2f6oxs/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
This is truly one of the greatest MC ever..........
Honestly, the first dozen times you do it, you'll be too blown away by the sheer amount of information being thrown at you all at once to gain ANYTHING out of it, let alone a "revelation" or "secret". You learn to humble yourself more, I feel that's the greatest part of the substance. It makes you feel so tiny, but extremely large at the same time.
"Pigs with the heads of men,"
I think this is a reference to Black Sabbath's "War Pigs," considering the overall theme of the track; Hiroshima, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan...
The (war) pigs are the Mythical figures:
"The Two-Faced King from Britain and Rome" (two civilizations that were built through military conquest)
"Had a baby in a Bush" George W. and George H.W. represent the baby, as they followed Britain and Rome's blueprint of conquering through military force.
"He'll take you to the Chocolate City (Washington DC)
, where Two-Face and The Prince of Darkness had a Committee of Snakes."
"Two-Face" is, of course, Brittain and Italy (Rome). "The Prince of Darkness" (Satan) is The United States because the pentagram (5-point star) often represents Satanism, and as Ras Kass put it, "Inside every pentagram is a pentagon." The Pentagon, (Headquarters of the Department of Defense). The "Committee of Snakes" could be George Bush's "Coalition" for the invasion of Iraq, or he might be referring to NATO
It's crazy how Jay established himself as one of the GOATS with just a handful of songs. Interdimensional shit right here
It’s official man he’s the greatest of all time
One of my favorite videos of all time those laser beam eyes are everything!
“Pigs with the heads of men spat acid that laser my third eye closed like lasik”🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
👆👆look up that handle, he ships swiftly, surest plug 🔌🍄
This that mathematics! Peace to the Gods and the Earths
Peace 7
Peace 7... Keep on ur 1, 2, &3
Peace God!!
One of the hardest videos
One of the deepest and complex rhymes ever written. You have to be well educated to understand the metaphors and hyperboles
Favorite dills beat as well as Jay electronica verse EVER.
My great great great grandchitlins will be waiting for your album to drop....imma will em my beats phones
Jay Elect is my absolute favorite rapper in existence.
PERIOD 💯
Funny how I've heard people compare him to everyone except the MC hes obviously most influenced by, and that is Killah Priest.
Especially most of his earlier stuff.
Still one of the best lyricists , but always found it weird he did his conspiracy theory raps only to sign with Jay Z, do thr mountain dew commercial with a ton of masonic imagery and then date a Rothschild .
It's like Jay Z paid him not to make music. Such an emigma
BazurkMC It is a crazy crazy world we live in.....Sidebar about your first statement though, I find everyone compares him to Priest...that is literally the only person I ever hear people compare him to. Maybe I'm not reading through thoroughly enough. I just saw Priest, GZA, Starks and Cap in Tdot 2 weeks ago....show was delayed but Priest, Cap and Face lit it up.
***** I think you may have missed the messages he used to deliver in his early years. I understand the majority of the message since then has been all about the money, and your right he has put on some great cats, then turned around and left them shelved.
The New priest
Exactly! Killah priest
more rappers should rap like this
"He'll try to use his powers to seduce you, you let him think that the feeling is mutual. 'Cause if he finds out that you already knew the atom has a positive, a negative, and a neutral...he'll probably salute you, then wait 'till you turn your back, like a coward and shoot you...." I wish I could hear what he said after this...every version fades after this line!
“man, this shit is crucial.”
@@saltaenutrof right!
@@saltaenutrof ok, it was hard to hear, thx!
Yea u from the 3rd Ward Right? Very Treacherous a place where they kidnap assassins and burry specialists
Unbelievable
he's too good to release an album. if he does, next he'll be rapping with chris rock at the Oscars. he's more ambitious than that.
The greatest trickster of all time
Fact
The lyricism here is just so... freaking... awesome. I can't help but put this on repeat. Damn.
JAY ELECTRONICA THE ONE & ONLY 💯
cant believe we finally got a vid for this..its funny i hit jay up the other day on twitter,asked him when we gonna hear more dimethyltryptamine.....he didnt back to me.........but when i see this i guess he did!!

Phewww straight Lava..that beat is serious too
Best song by jay Hands down

I am from nepal recently in London but I got so much respect for jay not only because he went to my country. But he proves you knowledge is really a powerful thing. Personally he has the most knowledge than most of the rapper ! Big up JAY ELECTRONICA. YOUR truly blessed!
he said it all in this track. just let them think that the feeling is mutual.
The instrumental from Midnight express plus the lyrics about Dimethyltryptamine, simply awesome!

The visual for this makes it 100 times better
Always come back to this 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Seriously!!! 🤯🤯🤯
WOW, the soong is off the chain, and the video looks like a late 80's early 90's underground scene. i LOVE it! big ups to Jay electronica.
The best MC ever
Dude shoot videos in Nepal like the Golden Child!!! Jay Elect is the TRUTH!!!
These lyrics are embedded in my head now so important
i used to have dreams as a kid of people beaming lasers from their eyes, but as if it was normal. almost like infrared beams, but thicker and incapable of doing harmful damage. jay electronica has read my mind and i love it
2023 and this shit is still fire
it will never not be fire lol
This song may sound just like a good tune. But there are so many hidden messages conveyed in Jay Electronica's lyrics. This man is synonymous to genius.
He GZA'd the joint!
I’ve been watching this for years and I just realized Jay walked through fire at 0:40
Jay Electronica and J Dilla thanks for this !

Can't tell how much of an awesome dude you are for actually putting Captal STEEZ, right under Jay Electronica. That's whats up!
This joint is still Immaculate!
ABOUT TIME!!... Keep doin it Jay!! Possibly THE ONE in this Matrix?...
Love from Nepal
finally a video. streets of kathmandu playing cards in a *BHATTI* which basically is a like a cheap place for food and drinks but the best place for food and local drinks nepalese style. you can smoke weed @ some of the bhattis. Jay elec hannuka, we need an album
Favorite song by him
👆👆look up that handle, he ships swiftly, surest plug 🔌🍄
man, it feels good to see someone popular like jay electronica walking in my country , Nepal. feels really good.
This is on some other level lyricism.
Finally something from Jay Electronica. Sick video....
40 fucking days. New album. 40 days ughhhhh i cannot waittt broooo
Prepare for the rapture in 40 days
Tim Whitley ive been putting up with this man’s bs for 10 years, I’ll believe it when I see it
The beat is eerie, kinda makes me think of a setting in the far east or in Egypt. Well done, Jay.
i once heard this when i was in highschool, all i could think was what the f*** was he talking about. Fastforward today im in awe of understandings of this world.
WE BACK BABBBYYYYYY
I dunno who can rap like this....ever? This shit is crazy
Ras Kass , killah priest.... K rino .... Underground got consciousness rap on lock ....
So true, I cant wait to see how much Kendrick can improve over the years.
Are we all going to act like buddy didnt just walk through fire at about the :40 mark?
Cartie King hip like wtf
He used to it lol he been about that fire 🔥😂
this song is an entire college course in-itself.
jay always spits truth on every verse
if he found out that you already knew the atom had a positive negative and a neutral
MR J hmm
Gaddam this has to be the illest video I've seen since like 95
He’s a different kind of gifted...
wow they got a vid for this awesome this is my jam right here!!!!!!!! no one is rapping like this these days!!!!!
still one of the dirtiest sample and beat combos ever 🔥🎶
👆👆👆look up that handle, he ships swiftly, surest plug 🔌🍄
Wow j Dilla made this beat 🔥 one of the best songs ever made
This video is so underrated
The fact that he's still relevant with no album only a mixtape from 4 years ago... Should tell you all that you need to know!
shits so sick, so much symbolizim hard to keep up.
Wow. I hope this guy never sacrifices his intellectual creativity to a major label. Keep it 100 jay!
he walked right through the fire
Ok. If anybody was wondering this song was sampled from (not j-dilla) midnight express. The song is played at the end credits and other parts of the movie. I'm not beefing here, fkn this racked my brain for awhile thought i'd save some time.
I can't remember a verse harder than this one
Giorgio Moroder with the 5 stars assist, Jay Dee & Outkast with the 2020 vision. Those guys are musical geniuses.
