Happy to see Jay Electronica get some big money conpensation for his talent, just hope it's the beginning and not the beginning of the end for my favorite lyricist of late.

    Does this mean he'll be finally dropping an album?

    here's 1 of the 2 brand new tracks he released too, with Jay & The-Dream on It. Called "Shiny Suit Theory". I dig it, but I like anything w/The Ambassadors in the beat...

    I've defeinitely heard some Jay Electronica that I like, but that right^^^ there has to be some of the most flatly boring rapping ever.

    b/w

    I Got a Love.

    getting a signing bonus would imply "yes", or else that is a miserable investment.

    or maybe jay elec will go down as rap's version of a pog.

    WTF is up with taking a potentially awesome sample source and creating something really fucking boring out of it?

    That's the *best* someone could do with "Together"? Fuck that.

    BTW: I would have been far happier if Ghost just rapped over the full length of "Together" (or Jay E over "I Ain't Got the Love") then spitting over a beat even I could have put together in 1 minute.

    Live Nation owns him now. I hope it works out well for him.

    The Ghostface track has one of the most akward segues from intro to beat ever, right up there with that Wu-Massacre 'Our Dreams" track, maybe thats the new Wu sound????

    Yeah thats some really slack/careless/weak production - I was disappointed by the album in general.
