The greatest rapper to never do it
-
jay elect is also an underrated producer(queens get the money, act 1, universal soldier, ezekels wheel, call of duty, ghost of soulja slim, flux capacitor) the dude has weird compelling beats🔥
-
Westside announcing Jay as a new Griselda member was the biggest goddamn tease man
-
I'd like to hear a Madlib Jay Electronica album!
-
Seen dude at a gig in Bristol, UK. There was about 20 people there. He still put on a show and even came off the stage to finish his gig with us. A god MC.
-
Once Kendrick dropped that first album, i said, “ok Jay Elec had no excuse now. He can drop a whole ass concept album & it’ll still sell.” That was like 2012 i think smh.

"They over the hill like Wyclef and Praz-wel. I'm over the hills like ufos in roswell. You lame, I know you guys well. If you can name a mc that's flamer than me, you high as hell. You can't dance with the chancellor, one glance have you caught up in the trance of the tarantula". I was a fan ever since. True wizardry with the words.
-
Exhibit A is such a masterpiece been obsessed with it for months
-
I saw half of the title of in my notifications and guessed immediately it was about Jay Electronica
-
Bro this was spot on. I first heard Jay Elec during the MySpace era and after my first listen to WTF is a Jay Elec I was hooked. Nas Tribute, Trolley Stop, Hard to get, Something to hold onto. Hell I’m bout to run it back now
-
He's still in my top 5 and ever since 2008 I thought he'd be eventually crowned king even over Nas. This video is extremely accurate.
-
I remember where I was exactly and who I was with when I heard Exhibit C for the first time me and my friends in a car had to pull over because we couldn’t believe what we were hearing. It’s a shame he’s now one of the biggest what ifs in hip hop history now
-
I like that song with him and Doom and also the fact that he signed with Griselda or is signing with them is dope
-
This Dude Could've really challenged everyone for the Greatest M.C. from N.O.
-
Jay is a special artist for sure. It's sad though cause we don't measure greatness by talent alone, so he gets left out of the goat debate. Reminds me of Ronaldo Nazário.
-
I remember very distinctively when i heard Exhibit A on the Fight Night Round 4 soundtrack. Loved that guy's music. He had potential to become one of the GOATs if he really put the work in. By the time he released his studio debut, i couldn't have cared less and skipped that album entirely until this very day. Exhibit A and C will always continue to be in my rotation though.
-
Awesome video man. I’m the same as you: AWT and Act 2 filled my stomach for a while but now I’m as hungry as before
-
Jay was a surprise guest at a BadBadNotGood show in Toronto back in the day & he absolutely blew the fucking roof off the place. I’ve never felt chills like that at any show. Insane vibey performance, and he acted really caught off guard by the crowd’s effervescent reaction.
-
Jay Elec with Guilty Simpson would be bananas
-
Hes ahead of his time like canibus was
