the hook wasnt ideal, and the vocal effects made it worse, but I just thought it wasnt a great sounding track. Sounded like a youtuber lyricist song with that meh beat too. I still think its the worst on the album but his flow is kinda catching on to me and I think its good for what and who it was trying to talk about

yea I really liked the flow. everything else was very lackluster.

Mostly jay Electronica, with addtl production from just blaze. Couple songs aren’t produced by him tho I think perdition, m&m, better in time

The Bullits were also involved in a couple records

So.. the Jay Electronica rankings are about to start looking a little bit different from here on out.

For better or worse, it’s about time.

Nah it's not the same, probs the same sample though

I know they didn’t produce run and hide

Yh jay e produced that. But Bullits wrote dinner at tiffany's, thinks that's all he did

Jay might have give parts of this song to rick ross as you can hear the same singing that jay e did. Unless jay e coped that from a common sample

Yeah Jay interpolated the melody from the original singing in the sample into his own lyrics

What's the original?

Hello sir, how can I get the link to your remaster of Act II? And also, do you have multiple remasters or just 1 version?

Its 2 version but v2 is the best

Going down as The GOAT Rap Album

I swear if Hov made Jay unhappy about his masterpiece just because it didn't seem like a big seller..... That won't be easily forgiven or forgotten

blinding in top 3 im SICK

This really makes me wonder if We Made It remix was dropped as kinda a promo single to then drop the album. Cus it would fit perfectly with the timing of the 2014 period and fits the bill as a commercial type single. Wonder if that was ever the plan

Love that song. He rides the beat so well

Only Jay Elec would listen to Bonnie and Clyde and go "that beat hard" actually thought that "ough-huh" in the background was a vocal chop at first tho lol, kinda wild that was part of the original. In a way I can see how Jay saw the proto-hip hop in there

S/o to whoever put Oblivion's version on youtube
