    Jay Elect sounds off on this. Am I the only one who hears that? He’s trying too hard to give out NOI bars instead of telling his story. Almost sounds like a parody of himself. Usually his flow and lyrics are more poetic and introspective....idk....I f*** with the album as a whole though. Just feel like every leak from Act 2 is a better song than what’s on the album, especially based on Jay Elects lyrics. Lemme see if it’ll grow.

    I have listened a few times now....I must admit, I was listening with a very tough ear on Jay Elect. Just because a decade of anticipation for him to drop and the leaks over the years which I legitimately love.

    This album was made and serves a different purpose than a lot of the previous Jay Elect music we've received before.

    This album is more about being a celebration of dropping a project and the accomplishment of being where he is.

    "Act 2 is just the memoirs with no omissions."

    This is entirely different. It's more of a celebration of being where he is and who he is and finally dropping. It does have the classic Jay Elect introspection sprinkled thoughout.

    I really like the album. I think there's more to come. Idk why but I do.

    surprised it took this long for him to get Jay-Z on a beat, he was able to get Eminem in '09

    Baffling, wish his verse was longer but happy with what we got.

    "Sometimes I wonder do the trees get sad when they see leaves fell
    Sleep well
    The last time that I kissed you, you felt cold but you looked peaceful
    I read our message thread when I get low and need a refill
    Sleep well"

    This is just straight up poetry man
