Hov's lyrics were more accessible, and his voice is more known
They really complete each other on some Clipse s***
One is flashy the other is spiritual
After listening to act 2 leaks again... I really think that jay should of drop act 2 instead. It would been better recieved by the public and more of a proper introduction to jay electronica.
I mean niggas are already saying jay ain't really a personal or interesting rapper which is completely false if u heard his other songs, but I feel like with hov's presence on this project, like someone else said ITT he had to tone down his style, same way he did on we made it remix. You see flashes of that old jay on some songs tho, mostly A.P.I.D.T.A.
But then I also get why he decided not to because with act 2, comes 10 years of pressure, which is probably something he didnt want to deal with it, but songs like life on mars, memories, better in tune, letter to Falon, road to, deserve an offical release

Don't think so bc most of it already leaked ages ago, but I do think he should put it out there now as a follow up to AWT so fans can hear the complete version. Then again his engineer said they never finished the album..
This album is generally well received, there are positive reactions from publications and rappers like Lupe and Chance. As time goes on it'll only grow. The only question to me is what Jay does from here. Would be sad if this is the last time we hear from him.

I mean yeah 8 songs did leaked and that is a lil more than half the album... but only so many people heard those leaks and most werent even finished. Plus putting leaked songs on album ain't unprecedented, ye did it with MBDTF which suffered from a lot of leaks as well and it's still a classic.
And I dont know if that engineer was telling the truth, cause just blaze been saying he has the album on his phone for years, even recently
Give it some time, once ur expectations are gone you'll just take it for what it is, never know it might grow on u

Sure but Ye didn't wait more than half a decade. 😂
Tbh even if it's not complete he can just upload it as a leak compilation. If Jai Paul did it, so can Jay E.

I guess
but quality is quality I would still take it
But yeah he should still drop act 2
Finally gave this a spin
stopped listening once I heard the Jay Electricity/Christmas Tree bars on the second track
Wait is the "act 2 rough demo" that leaked (where jay spits the dead presidents lyrics) actually a named album track?
They scared of Jay Elec, yeah, and men know why
'Cause I might turn the Roc to the NOI
Seen a couple people asking for a comp so here's a discog I came across last year https://mega.nz/#F!Xs1DEQwJ
God sent. Much Appreciation

One of the hardest bars ever
