    Just saw that the youtube video of my act 2 remastered that someone posted got taken down for copyright, yet they left all the other act leaks on there

    Maybe they took it down cause they didnt want people thinking it was a finished version, and one is coming

    Yeah would make sense. Let's hope, although I guess it doesnt have to mean one is coming could just be they dont want an "improved" version that wasnt authorised by them. I'm being pessimistic here though

    You do know fixing transitions takes only hours. Why remove Oblivions remaster 2/3 weeks after release if you're not gonna release your version imminently.

    I doubt they are gonna change it as you can see in my post above the one you replied to, but this is the only indication they might.

    His verse on Run and Hide is such a fitting closing verse <3

    yeah this happened like 2 days ago, I think multiple full album vids got removed tho only that earliest one (I think) stayed for some reason, some individual track uploads got blocked but others stayed too. Kinda confusing so far

    Fr. Jay’s last words on the record are “Just remember: be yourself, and accept your own. Or run & hide.”

    We know which he did

    How do y'all stand on the whole Jay Elec and antisemitism discussion? Tbh NOI teachings can be ridiculously antisemitic and Jay seems to subscribe to them unquestioned, but when you hear him talk about his Jay ElecHannukah line in Exhibit C it doesn't sound like an antisemite speaking to me
    youtube.com/watch?v=LnDxLTNkf_0&feature=youtu.be&t=3153

    I kinda think he's oblivious to the problems of Farrakhan's whole rhetoric and probably still naively thinks Farrakhan doesn't have a real problem with jews but only "some jews" or something. I think he's mostly just confused tbh. Tho tbf that would also be a fitting description for every other antisemite.

    I dunno, personally I just see it critically but it doesn't take away from my enjoyment of his music that much, since most of his lyricism operates on a much more universal scale anyway

    actually this pretty much sums up my sentiment: "I find Electronica’s overall message to be pro-black, and he often employs pro-Islamic sentiments to that end; there’s nothing innately anti-Semitic about either. But the red flags being raised are valid ..." - "there is much more on the album to relate to than there is to take issue with."

    I'm redoing the remasters of all the songs, and I'm also trying to use false stems in order to try my best at mixing it, so far it sounds nice imo

    Also going to try and make a version of letter to falon w the cello

    I dont think he's anti semitic, he always describe his relationship with Judaism since act 1, and the whole noi just have a thing where they believe they're the true jewish people, wouldnt neccesarily call that anti semitic more so a difference in religious beliefs like Christians and muslim differ over how they see jesus, and I think people take the synagogue of satan line wrong when it's something used to described false Jews who claim their jews.

    But who really knows tbh
