Better in tune is the best verse hes ever spit
Bonnie and clyde verse 1 is also up there
How you doing old friend
Not saying this was Jay's plan all along for the album to necessarily "disappear" and pop-up again randomly, but in September 2012 I feel like it was zipped up and thrown somewhere ready for it to be found.
S*** this could've leaked even around that time, I'm still glad someone found a way to get the album

I’m glad he decided to officially release it, but I swear to god of the version on my iTunes when it drops is the same version as the leak (unmastered) it’s going straight in the recycle bin
I have no doubt in my mind this was planned.
This man is a planner and tactician.
Genius.
I am a huge stan. But there’s no elaborate plan here. It just finally leaked and the positive feedback motivated him to pull the leak onto streaming. It’s a blessing either way tho.
had never followed the leaks and only heard part 1 a handful of times.
Just listened through and really enjoyed, needs a lot more listens. But Better in Tune is crazy good.
as soon as they album finished I went back to it and have listened through 3 times
Shaping up to be one of my fav albums
This is really up there with the greats in quality


"the Turn"
This is more wild to me than the extra extra post because he mentions getting Tidal and we're all inspecting the album now after the leak was uploaded to Tidal to see if it's the real final version that will be updated.
Glad we've made it to this point though

Yeah I dont think it was, just a lot of crazy coincidences, only way I would buy is if in the "into the light" doc he says it's coming out in 2020
He said he was gonna disappear then on the album that disappeared (act 2) that just leaked after 8 years he said he was gonna reappear with hov (Awt)
Then add in the context that the album was first gonna drop on Sept 19 and that's when the leaked snippets came out and also the whole concepts of the Acts, which has the second act/"The Turn" being the disappearing act, the whole thing is a crazy coincidence
My guy could I test your work on this album? Just hit you with a follow
Better in tune on a late night drive
Letter to falon sounds so apocalyptic in the car too
The sun rise and the moon tides and the sky's gon' reveal me
My brain pours water out my tear ducts to heal me
My Lord's too beneficent
The message grab a hold to every ear it get whispered in
The waters in the bayous of New Orleans still glistenin'
The universe is listenin',
be careful what you say in it
My grandma told me every bed a nigga make, he lay in it
The church you go to pray in it, the work is on the outside
Staring out the windows is for love songs and house flies
imma prolly post this again cause most of you just wanna listen to Jay Elec in here rn, but Charlotte Gainsbourg is a really great artist in her own right and pretty underrated imo
made a great album prod by Beck (I don't even like dude that much but he snapped on this)
!https://youtu.be/-RSRmQ6WiUUand an even better album prod by Sebastian (the fazebook dude from Blonde)
!https://youtu.be/OmW-gkTrj4Aalso as an actress apart from all her great work with Lars Von Trier she also made a really good film with the Eternal Sunshine director Michel Gondry called Science of Sleep. Not quite the masterpiece that film is, more wacky fun but really charming imo

When he first released this song, I played it daily first thing in the morning almost like it was a daily prayer. The s*** is therapeutic for me.
“The fazebook dude from blonde”
?
no disrespect, don't think all that many people know who Sebastian is
not sure what the sentence "my mom is right here rolling up" is supposed to mean tho?
