    1. leave your relgion and beliefs at home bruh no one cares about your lil sailor costume and the nerd pack

      1. Your just an anonymous troll like me no one really cares what we think least of all the celebrities we bitch about online.

        Anyway keep up the good work sexy cornball

    2. YO DAT NIGGA JAY ELECTROBUZZ AKA ALAH HANUKAH WANTANOBE SUMO SAN UNCLE SAMMY GAVE THAT NIGGA JOE CAMEL A kiss on his cheek like, “Muah nigga, thank you for this jewelry you so seductively put around my clavicle…kisses for you and kisses for me…”

    3. Glad to hear this man clean and sober. Now hop off that damn white girl and release an album, already!

      1. He’s gonna drop a conscious rap album from 2002 that will impress nobody. He won’t have that Kanye production cause he’s mad Jay Z has a new 56 year old little brother.

      1. Jay Electronica most confused nigga in hip hop

        sometimes he got a dot on his head, next he wearing a fez, then he with the FOI wearing a 5% chain

        I’m sure his english white girlfriend thinks he looks cute.

      2. AT LEAST HE REPS SOMETHING. HAVEN’T SEEN HIM THROWING UP A TRIPLE SIX OR NO SHIT LIKE THAT. WHATEVER THE PATH, HE STAYS RIGHT… IN THE MIDDLE. PEACE GOD
        PSALMS82:6

    4. nigga got the jungle fever out here dating white women and then turn around and rep the nation of islam lmao

    5. Jay Electronica’s a confused man, seriously. Simple and plain if you are gonna talk all that farrakhan noi shit and have a white bitch you look like a hypocrite! Believe what you wanna believe but you got no right to lecture others when it’s a pretty established fact that the noi is about staying within the race

      1. The very inception of their nation is about how a black man & white woman had a light skinned child that could infiltrate racist america and help the brothers get on their feet

      2. Thank god Jay Techno and Random Rich White Bitch are here to have the first interracial child in America to save all the black people.

    6. typical 5%.. a drug addict who thinks he can change the world but cant even control himself. their logo should be a crack pipe.

      1. 5% are an offshoot of the Nation Of Islam(they dont have anything to do with real Islam)

        N.O.I is like the freemasons, they were the same shit, same uniform, weird doctrine.

        N.O.I was SUPPOSED to go Sunni Islam but Elijah Died and his son Ward Dean Muhammed continued to preach real Islam. He was known as the American Imam and died a while back, r.i.p

      2. Again what is 5%? People supposedly know enough to talk about them but cant explain exactly what it means. That right there raises a red flag where I don’t believe any of you.

      3. ^^ 5% of the world population which are the poor righteous teachers, non-believers of the mistery god and aware of the fact that the asiatic black man is the original man, cream of the planet earth, father of civilization, god of the universe

        the duty of the five percenter is to teach civilization to the uncivilized: the 85% of the population, the mistery god believers, easily led into the wrong direction and hardly led into the right, kept deaf, dumb and blind by the 10% of the population: the blood suckers of the poor, who teach the 85 about the mistery god

      4. “aware of the fact that the asiatic black man is the original man, cream of the planet earth, father of civilization, god of the universe”

        Hahahahahahahhaha. So they’re wack cartoon versions of jews who dress like butlers and talk like a drunk deepak chopra.

      5. Thank you sir. So basically that can be anybody, not just some ghetto black. Those words are very telling of the dx commenters as well.

    7. Y’all keep shitting on dude for dating a white woman, saying he’s a hypocrite and shit, but you don’t have ANYTHING to say against these so-called christian rappers who wear jesus pieces yet still run around committing fornication, adultery, homosexuality and acts of violence??? I mean damn, if you gonna call a “fake” nigga out, make sure you call ALL of them out.

      1. Still is not correct either way though. A hypocrite is a hypocrite.

        Which is why I just listen to the music knowing deep down the person could be on some bullshit lmao

      2. Funny part is they diss everything that man does but they want music from him thats gonna talk about the very things they dont like

        Smh

      3. “but you don’t have ANYTHING to say against these so-called christian rappers who wear jesus pieces yet still run around committing fornication, adultery, homosexuality and acts of violence??”

        thats because christianity and jesus is all a big sham and all these rappers are suckers.

      4. I didn’t necessarily mean “christian rap” I just meant these gangsta niggas that wear crosses and shit but still commit acts of violence

      5. It isn’t what the cross represents, my friend, it is simply what it’s made outta.
        Most of these rappers would wear Jay Z’s shit, if it was gold and diamond encrusted lol
        The majority of these rappers wear fake diamonds anyway- which to me is little girl make-believe jewelry.
        All trying so desperately to convince people- that they probably don’t even like- that they are rich and successful.
        SMH

    8. I’m sitting here like Jim Carey in the Number23, trying to figure this all out

      Sugar Daddy Hov treating Jay Elec like one of his mistresses, lavishing him with expensive gifts, putting diamond necklaces around his neck. I guess Jay Elec is Roc Nation’s new Amil..

      All this while a loyal solider and a innocent brother who goes by the name of Beanie Sigel, rots in the pen like a Guantanamo Bay detainee.

      Beanie Sigel dropped successful albums, put $$’s in to Jayz pocket, put hands on Jay Z enemies, gave classic features to Jay, protected Jay Z artists, label and brand, gave Rocafella street cred, dissed rappers for Jay… a true solider, who would donate all his organs to Jay, he’d even rape men for Jay on sum booty goon shit.

      What has Jay Elec done for Jay Z to deserve this much luv and respect, over loyal black brother Beanie Sigel?

      The answer is quite simple…

      Soon as a rich white person comes into the vicinity, Jay Z starts giving preferential treatment to all those who are associated to them. In Amil Electronica’s case, it’s his rich white wife..

      Look how he refused to be Kanye’s bestman, refused to show up to his wedding, but when Gwyneth Paltrow asked him to be her son’s Godparent, he graciously accepted and flew over to England for the Bar Mitzvah.

      Jay Elec shud be warned though, if his white wife divorces him, Jay Z will also ditch him…”I ain’t a bitch but I gotta divorce them”..

      He better hold on tightly to his ugly white vegan wife, cuz that is the only reason Jay Z is fuckin with him and acknowledging his existence. J cole can’t even get a couple of pictures, let alone a diamond necklace and he is Roc Nation’s highest selling rapper… go figure

      Jay aka my presence is charity, is only loyal to rich white folk, this is the same guy who shot his brother’s dick off over a comic book, sold crack to his own mother and uses his lil nephew as a bullet proof vest when Pun and the Goons came to put hands on’em

      1. Cole got his chain already, lol

        I agree with the beans issue but just blaze is the jayE/jayZ common denominator and jigga knows plenty of that nge/noi talk being from marcy and in the game

      2. First of, it isn’t Jay Z’s chain. He wore and spoke on it on a interview with Power 105. He actually said, it wasn’t his. It belongs to a friend.
        Secondly, I couldn’t agree more- Jay Z has been using people his whole career. Especially Beyonce.
        Beans was a beast both in front of and behind the mic. Perfect to against for The Lox, for Jay.
        Jay E on the other hand… I don’t think HE knows who the fuck he is.
        Allah this and Allah that.
        Plus those zoned out Nation of Islam dickie-box wear muthafuckas look like they’re all high too. Not high and mighty, mind you.
        Fucking hypocrites.

      3. “I’m sitting here like Jim Carey in the Number23, trying to figure this all out”

        Maybe pick a better movie you fucking autistic

      4. To knock people who are trying to better self is plain ignorance, even if you dont agree with their principles.

      1. Fuunny how at the other rap sites heads actually respect dude, but here and the other catering site hnhh got a bunch of haters

      1. lol I’m sayin, Khalid Muhammad wouldn’t let that shit slide

        if u out here reppin the nation then do it properly nigga, don’t bring a jewish rapper to your fucking concert and don’t fucking date a white british imperialist

      2. “Khalid Muhammad wouldn’t let that shit slide”

        He absolutely would. He was like one of those white evangelist preachers who hate gay people and then they are found in a motel room sucking dick. That fucking clown was sucking white dick in bathroom stalls and projecting his shame on everyone else

      3. HEY, all you Anonymous fags should go disrespect your parent’s or grandparent’s names or something & let the dead rest in peace. GOD bless the dead. It’s obvious your name holds no weight & never will at this rate!!!! Real talk

      4. OOOH! I WISH I COULD RUN INTO ONE OF YOU BITCH-MADE ASSHOLES!! I’D TEACH YOU SOME RESPECT FOR SURE…ACTUALLY, YOU WOULDN’T LEARN MUCH OF ANYTHING …BE TOO BUSY GETTING CUT DOWN…BUT AN EXAMPLE WOULD DEFINITELY BE MADE OUT OF YOU!!! & YOU’D DESERVE!!!!

    9. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
      THIS IS WHO YOU CROWN THE NEXT KING OF HIP HOP? WAYNE MADE SOME OF HIS BEST MUSIC FUCKED UP. THIS NIGGA JAY ELEC MADE NO MUSIC WHILE BEING FUCKED UP. WHAT REALLY KILLED HIM WAS THAT WHITE WOMEN. WE ALL SAW THIS COMING NIGGA FUCKING RICH MARRIED WHITE WOMEN THE ONLY THING HE WOULD HAVE IN COMMON WITH HER IS DRUGS. PEOPLE MAKE WEIRD FRIENDS WHEN THEY ARE USERS. NIGGA SOBERED UP AND REALIZED NOT EVERY PUSSY IS GOOD PUSSY

    10. Now I guess it’s my turn to talk trash:

      Fuck Jay Electronica, Jay-Z, J Cole, Roc Nation, The Nation of Islam, the Fruit of Islam, the Nation of Gods & Earths, the city of New York, homosexual black men and any and everyone offended by this post.

      1. The Fruit of Islam will show up to your door like they with Jim Jones when made a snide remark about Farrakhan.

    11. mannn you all out here talkin bout “this white bitch this this white bitch that, he a hypocrite” when all of yall would smash a white bitch, you want racism dead yet you go and be the most racist jus cus its a white woman and a black man, aint that a good thing? shit man yall the hypocrits, most confused people on earth. FOH

    12. this nigga is 39 years old and still didnt release his first album. Jay dont give a fuck about him because he would never go gold or platinum. Its better that he retires

      1. the universe is listening, be careful what you say in it

        despite your complete ignorance and lack of intelligence, i still love you because you are a fellow human being.

    13. This dude has 3 official songs yo…what is the goddamn hype I just don’t get it. Anyways, who cares bout this dude…I sure dont’

      1. He sucks, backpackers getting hard about a middle-of-the-road EP where he used a movie score, nobody cares. He has the exact same lyrical content as lupe fiasco except people wanna act like he’s new

      2. You know how RETARDED you 2 look right now? talkin bout Jay Electronica..

        Oh that’s right, you dont know anything about Hip Hop, ya’ll live in the POP world

    14. So now that that’s all behind him; where’s an album? Maybe Allah can
      help you in the studio as well?

    15. But y’all are here sh#tting on his beliefs, his life, his vices, why even ask for his music that will be full of the very things you don’t like?
