Way too much Jay-Z so far for me. But it's been great other than that. Production is completely on point.
Mar 13, 2020·1 replyDelejaynWho can rap better than Jay Elect? Maybe André. Maybe! That nigga really on a tier alone.
Lupe
Mural and Wav Files are elite tier.

As a Muslim this makes absolutely no sense. He says he testifies that Mohammed is the messenger of Allah but then a few lines later says the “honourable” Elijah Mohammed is his backbone.
My Muslim friend said the same thing lol
Mar 13, 2020Damn I guess Act II is really never coming out since he put Shiny Suit Theory on here
Mar 13, 2020Someone needs to spaz on the flux cap outro since these guys didn't
Mar 13, 2020DelejaynI understand What you mean. I think Elect rapping on this very high level. The music was good but I agree it def feels like a good not great album. Still the best album this year so far.
All this hype and you began to expect great or historic
It’s a cool 7/10

I can accept Lupe. But he gets lost on his technique. If elect did mural it would leave you more in awe. Lupe impresses in technical ability but elect connects in a deeper way. If that makes sense.

It makes perfect sense

BlackStarWhen he refers to Muhammad I think he is always talking about Nation of Islam’s Elijah
Nope, at the start of universal soldier he says in Arabic “ahsadu Anna Muhammad arrasoolallah” which means I testify Muhammad is the messenger of God
Not Elijah Muhammad but the prophet Muhammad. Muslims say this/listen to this before each prayer

I hope he takes Malcolm X's understanding of Islam before it's too late for him. May Allah guide him.

How though? Could it be in his delivery?

Vocals could be clearer in the mix. Feels like the beat is drowning them.

Ahhh kinda reminds of the problem with Drogas Wave, although that album was low budget

Obviously I need more listens but Hov is more charismatic and dominant than Jay E on this so far

Really good album so far tbh. I'm on track 4.

I went back to it to hear the difference between then and now... and all I'm walking away with is he really have one of the greatest pen games of all time.. like there is 0 dip in quality in anything he does... I havent heard one miss of a track by him everything is amazes me.

Yeah, I don't disagree. That's why for me, on a long awaited Jay Electronica album, it's waaaay too much Jay-Z. Overshadowing him. Still a great album though. But should be more Jay E's time to shine than Jay-Z's, imo.
Mar 13, 2020I still can't believe he actually dropped an album
