Yea nah... this kinda mid. Hov outshined Jay.

Hard to appreciate lyrics when all these beats kinda ass.

I don’t understand how ppl are saying this.

Only low point on the album is honestly Travis on The Blinding

Are u taking the piss

Dunno how anyone could hate on this

The people not understanding how Hov outshined Elect on here are the same niggas that don't understand how Kendrick outshined Elect on Control my g.

/thread

Nah. Kendrick outshines on Control hut Hov def got smoked on this

Have you ever heard the tale of
The noblest of gentlemen who rose up from squalor?
Tall, dark, and decked out in customary regalia
Smellin' like paraphernalia
Hailin' from the home of Mahalia
His uptown smile was gold like a Frankie Beverly day
His favorite song from Prince was not "Raspberry Beret"
It was "Sometimes It Snows In April"
He was brought up by the faithful
In the cage of every unclean bird, ungrateful and hateful
The legend of the clandestine reverend from the Bricks
With the master's grip to pull the sleeping giant out the ditch
And I ain't even have to wiggle my nose like Bewitched
I just up-shift to six, convert the V4 to a broomstick
Though I tarry through the valley of death, my Lord give me pasture
If you want to be a master in life, you must submit to a master
I was born to lock horns with the Devil at the brink of the hereafter
Me, the socket, the plug, and universal adapter
The prodigal son who went from his own vomit
To the top of the mountain with five pillars and a sonnet
The autobiography read Quranic
Spread love like Kermit the Frog, that permeate the fog
I'm at war like the Dukes of Hazard against the Bosses of the Hogs
Gip-Gip-Giggity, Alchemist put the icing on the soliloquy
Let it be forever known that I niced up to pen something considerably
Jay Electollah Flomeini mainly is support mainly
The fatwa he issued on al-Shayṭān was delivered plainly
It's the day of Qiyāmah
To the believers, I bring you tidings of joy
But if you want beef, I'll filet mignon ya
You could catch me bummy as f*** or decked out in designer
On I-10 West to the desert, on a Diavel like a recliner
Listen to everything from a lecture
From the honorable minister Louis Farrakhan
To Serge Gainsbourg or Madonna or a podcast on piranhas
What a time we livin' in, just like the scripture says
Earthquakes, fires, and plagues, the resurrection of the dead

I don't hate it. I'm not in love with it.

The fake deep niggas cappin hard for Jay E itt.

Hood reporter comin in with the #FakeNews.

Ruined the whole song with 2 lines

this is probably my AOTY

really love this

lowkey tryna hear a whole song with that weird travis voice

U dont respect cuban links then

“Now I understand why you used to cry sometimes we ride down Claybourne

You just missed your—
You just missed your mama

Now I just miss my mamas“

The way he brought that whole verse together. Just wow. Masterful. The way he rapped about grief hits close to home

“The last time that I kissed you, you felt cold but you looked peaceful”

Except Cuban Linx didn't advertise itself as a Raekwon only album my g.

Dont even try to pull that card yo.

Just got to it. Lemme listen and see

Well, like, that's just your opinion my g

we all agree he outshined him but yall act like jay elec was spitting bunny hop wit it type bars on this s*** lmao

Jay Electronica had the best verse on Control, end of discussion.
