the lyrics are ill….the beat cool. was expecting something much more epic, def over-hyped today. gets better after a few listens on some good speakers or headphones. still can’t wait for the whole album. HE”S IT.
thats it everyone! thats our jay electronica track for the year! I’ll see ya’ll some time next year for the next one, maybe it’ll have something to do with the new mario or sonic on the cover…
This makes no sense? Prodigy hates rocafella..? and he said he aint wear jewls no more cause he represents the hood and poverty>? now he throws his diamonds in the sky>?
TALKIN BOUT BABY MONEY? I GOT YA BABY MONEY, KIDNAP YA BITCH MAKE HER WATCH ME N BABY KISS ON TOP OF MONEY,
i WOULDV’E SAID THAT REAL BLOOD SHIT HERE SON,
I GOT MY TIGHT JEANS I GOT MY AUTOTUNE,/ I KISS MEN, CALL EM MY DADDY WE BOTH SHARE A ROOM/FIVE STAR NOW BETWEEN MY LEGS/ HE LOOK UP I LOOK DOWN NOW WE HAVING SEX/ AND I RECEIVE, HE DA PITCHA/ TAKE IT IN MY BUTT SO WHAT, WHAT YA SAYING NIIIIGGGGGA
If u listen closely p says “get jux for ya shine” meaning get robbed but the sampling is off and annoying as hell not too bad tho they did speak much bout da game either so this disappointing since this is the last we gonna hear from jay until 12/31/12
Come on man. I know you can make better music than this. Is this what you where hyping us up for over on Twitter?
I thought you where the GOD MC? Mobb Deep is TRASH and they sound like ASS on the hook and the verse. I waited a year to hear a song with a good beat and ONLY Jay E rapping on the track. But NOOOO! You had to put lame ass Mobb Deep on the song and cheate me out of hearing a WHOLE song with just you rapping. Cmon black king you can do better than this.
I knew the song was gonna be lame when you had Mobb Deep come in at the last damn minute of the damn day. What the fuck where you thinking? I knew the song was sub par because by the end of the night you stopped tweeting about it, Young Guru stopped tweeting, and JustBlaze stopped tweeting about the song. Hell you didnt even release the son, change the artwork on your Tumbler page, or mention it on your twitter when it was finished cuz u was probably so embarrassed about how bad it sounded. Ha Ha
To be honest you shold have used the beat that was on the Rough Demo track that you put out a few weeks earlier. Now that would have been tight. But Nooo, you wanted to use some lame ass, corny ass beat. SMH
Jay Electronica, dont you eva put no bull shit out like this eva agian. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?
This song was some strait up nigga shit and sub par at best. I know the black god still dwells deep inside of you, so im asking the god within you to put out some better music than this next time. Please
What is jay electronica suppose to be changing? What is he saying that has NOT already been said before? He name drops religions, he talks about the moon and the stars, the motherland…and so what? He makes up words that sound profound to an average educated person and he is what you hip hop purist call a “game changer.” Rakim, Wu, KRS 1, Killah Priest, Mobb Deep and countless emcees have all rapped like this 100 times better than this dude is trying to do today. This dude wants to be a NY emcee so bad.
Agree 100% man…he’s good, not great imo…it’s not hating to say someone isn’t GREAT…
If anyone on this site thinks Electronic is a doper emcee than Elzhi (a game changer imo as a solo artist…been around since late 90s, but last 5 years focusing on solo career has been REMARKABLY ILL) for example, they need to do research…I like MCs that make me press rewind or say GOD DAMN
decent,,,,,,theres worst shit out there,,,,,a lot of pink panty rap runnin around,,,,give it some time,,,,it’ll grow,,,,,the rothchild reference was,,,,,,,not hot,,,,,,,how about having lunch,,,with your people,,,,hmmmm
JAY ELECTRONICA needs to stop riding his own dick and buying the hype.
dude dropped ONE dope track. ONE.
his beats suck. he’s a weak producer. it’s like pulling teeth getting this guy to release music. he’s lazy. then he drops a joint, and it’s weak. and every corny hip hop blog plays right into it. they give him the platform and play into his terms. show n prove. you been out for YEARS, and there’s no body of work.
i don’t know ANYONE that can quote a jay electronica joint in real life. he’s internet hype at its finest. cats act like exhibit c was “juicy”. best part about this track was prodigy.
all this hype for one damn track. “it’s coming” “i’m gonna make NY come to a standstill”, just drop the track and let the music do the talking you clown. this guy couldn’t compete in the 90’s, all smoke n mirrors.
Well said my man, well said…way overhyped…dudes like him, j. cole, and even lupe (Although he’s proven he can be dope, but i still feel overrated) are overhyped and their comp in the mainstream is wack for the most part.
Dudes who SHOULD be hyped that are super duper dope emcees include ELZHI (ILLEST alive imo), ONE BE LO, DIABOLIC, TONEDEFF, JUICE, PERCEE-P, LOUIS LOGIC, APATHY, SLUG, BROTHER ALI, SLAUGHTERHOUSE, SHAD, JEAN GRAE, MONCH, MASTA ACE, G RAP to name a FEW of many!
Strongly disagree. As far as flow and lyrics Jay Electronica has it locked, and I really don’t see how anyone could hate on the beat for “queens get the money”. I don’t hear too many people quoting jay around my way either, nor do I hear them quoting K.R.I.T, DOOM, or plenty other underrated rappers, beacause most of the people I know are quoting mindless wayne lyrics, but if that’s what you judge an MC’s quality by…
jay electronicas exhibit c is sposed to be some kinda hip hop classic, right?
i can’t quote one lyric. haven’t played it in forever. never heard it in a cipher, never saw anybody ask the DJ to spin it. can you quote anything from that song without looking it up?
this dude can rhyme, but he gets too much hype and attention considering how inactive he is. he has more interviews than tracks. he’s on twitter all day everyday. he hyped this track for 48 hours. he adds pressure to himself when he’s already shown an inability to handle it.
i’ve never seen an emcee duck the light quite like electronica. no doubt he can get it in, but there’s emcees that can spit just as nice that work at least twice as hard. blogs need to get off this dude’s dick till he’s ready to present a full body of work. everytime you gas his singles he goes missing for 12 months.
@ Javito 1: I actually do like the beat he did for Nas (simple, but dope), but to say he has the flow/LYRICS game on lock is just flat out wrong. I think he’s a GOOD emcee no doubt and has shown he can be dope, the following to me are doper with the flow and lyrics and ppl I’d rather listen to off the top of my head

Prob more…point being is Jay Electronica is a good emcee, but the hypebole ppl use when you see the list of dope known names and slept on underground cats above who are basically all ILLER w/ more proven material than this dude
i like Jay Electronica a lot but this song is meh, don’t really get the name to this either. And it’s kind of weird that he did a song with Mobb Deep, he’s signed to Roc Nation, then again i don’t know if Jay-Z and Mobb Deep squashed the beef, but i don’t really care about that beef, so i never kept up with it.
I’m sorry but Mobb Depp only got a few thousand fans left. Jay came incredibly weak to be hyping himself like he did. I feel like I’m missing some deep coded messege that should make this shit hot. Its fucking mind boggling to think Jay Elect got niggas waiting two years from the time this was supposed to drop for this. Then you know you gotta wait another year at least for Act III. I’m not hype anymore. If he say he dropping a track from now on I’ll be like oh ok…
Not bad…Not good either…the hook sucks…the beat is boring to me….I don’t know…He takes so long to realease music…I expected something much better than this. He is by far the most mystifying rapper out there right now…He can definately capitialize off that fact..but….I don’t know..I think he needs a better marketing team. I can tell he is carefully not trying to oversaturate the game..but damn..you gotta come harder than this.
one more thing…I think he should of put Buster rhymes on the hook…He could have added much needed energy…Jay Elec is layed back..prodigy is layed back…you gotta have some kind of contrast on the track.
So how should he sound?retarded,slow and Illiterate?cause if you want him to sound southern that’s exactly how he would sound.See Waka,Gucci,Birdman,OJ Da Juiceman,Lil Wayne,D4L,Shawty Lo,Ace Hood etc..
all of you with paragraphs of negative shit, shut up no one cares. either you like it or not, you DO NOT know what you’re talking about so dont act like it, and after everything it’s just your opinion
HEY GUYS IM A RAPPER AND I WOULD LIKE FOR YALL TO CHECK ME OUT I KNOW YALL LOOKIN LIKE THIS PROLLY JUST ANOTHER NIGGA TRYING TO SPIT AND HE WACK BUT CHECK ME OUT ON YOUTUBE I PROMISE NOT TO DISSAPOINT lilkaz604
Jay Elect is nice and has wild potential but this song here is an embarrassment…Everybody defending him need to stop saying lyrically he did his thing though.You wouldn’t buy a sandwich where the turkey and cheese were bad but say the bread was really good though…Don’t hype something up to be the second coming of something and then present it over a beat like that.Especially when Jay had access to Just Blaze and Havoc..smfh
I think Jay Electronica is a GOOD emcee, but to say he has the flow/LYRICS game on lock is just flat out wrong. I think he’s solid no doubt and has shown he can be dope, but the following to me are doper with the flow and lyrics and ppl I’d rather listen to off the top of my head:

Prob more…point being is Jay Electronica is a good emcee, but the hypebole ppl use is a joke when you see the list of dope known names and slept on underground cats above who are basically all ILLER w/ more proven material than this dude
did you really just put Louis Logic, Hopsin and other pretty wack artist and say they are better then Jay? Your crazy son and wtf you mean at their best? you sound retarded as fuck or a young cat. Sorry just thought I let you know. Also MF DOOM is always at his fucking best.
“Man you listen to some real shit” Ho. You just naming basically everybody! It’s cool to be hip hop head but don’t front like you have a refined taste. Jay Elect is hot. End of. Everything he does sounds good. And I bet most of the MCs on that list love and or fear him, because of his lyrics and amazing biggie-esque flow. How you gonna name people like Doom, Jean Grae, Hopsin etc. Wikipedia killed Hip Hop.
“did you really just put Louis Logic, Hopsin and other pretty wack artist and say they are better then Jay? Your crazy son and wtf you mean at their best? you sound retarded as fuck or a young cat. Sorry just thought I let you know. Also MF DOOM is always at his fucking best.”
love the “and other pretty wack artist” part bc you know there weren’t any WACK artist on there…Young? I’ll be 29 in Jan so I would assume I’d be on the older end of most ppl on here (been listening Dope emcees for 15-20 years which I know a majority on here can’t say)
I do write long ish @ times, but it honestly took me like 5-10 mins to write
“And I bet most of the MCs on that list love and or fear him, because of his lyrics and amazing biggie-esque flow. How you gonna name people like Doom, Jean Grae, Hopsin etc. Wikipedia killed Hip Hop.”
Wikipedia killed Hip Hop? You’re right those emcees (+ many more, including Jay Electronica by the way) aren’t on my itunes/numerous mixes that I make for me and many other ILL hip hop craving friends…
Yea Elzhi, Diabolic, Tonedeff, G Rap, Slaughterhouse, Pharoahe, and a ton of the emcees I listed on there FEAR this 33/34 year old dude who has zero albums.
Crooked I doesn’t have an album either (tragic), but he’s a doper emcee (imo) that Electronica. Again don’t start crying youngins who have been used to garbage the last 8 years so now they hear Jay Elec and think he’s the messiah.
Elzhi, Tonedeff, Diabolic, Louis Logic, One Be Lo, Lowkey, Juice, Percee-P come to mind as dudes MOST on here don’t know well that would SLAY Jay Elec (a good emcee, not GREAT emcee)…
The point I was making with this list (i’m sure maybe there a few on there even I would pick Jay Elec over, but not many) is that there are a TON of super dope emcees out there that have NUMEROUS examples of how amazing they are yet ppl who know less than half of who I listed (in terms of REALLY KNOWING THEIR material) love to say, “YOU’RE AN IDIOT, YOU’RE A RETARD”, Elec is the best!
Thanks to the heads that agreed with the list and know that dudes like Elec, Cole, Lupe are overrated by ppl who think they know alot of dope emcees
PMD flow?? This jam is deeper than most, and if you really listen closely, those with the real music ears, you will feel a blast from the past of real Hip Hop, which is EPMD. Dont know why but I get that feeling listening to this joint.
I like Jay Electronica but this shit is trash. Sounds like they let a cat walk across an mpc for an hour while it recorded and then dropped verses over it.
Soo … Were you listening to the beat or the words !?
[LYRICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
You know the story…
When Real see Real

Put yo diamonds in the sky take that nigga
To whom it may concern

Dig a crate

Please God tell Flex drop a bomb on me
Tell the Minister to tattoo the Quran on me
before the men in black try to pin a crime on me
and rupert murdock and his goons get to lyin on me
The Lord is my Shepherd
so tell the Royal Family to order my records
And spread em cross europe in a organized method
We could heal the planet with a organized effort
The Jews and the Christians and the Muslims and the buddhist and the Seiks, and scientologists is all of my brethren

You never heard another nigga say this on the radio
We made it out the ghettio

Criticalest Artist
Im sure they said something in the song but the beat was terrible. Good music is a good beat plus good lyrics….If youre missing one or the other then both are irrelevant.
young money all day LMAO that’s hilarious, dude drops some real substance in his raps and of course this lame brings up Wayne who doesn’t do shit but brainwash the masses and dumb them down to truth. Fuck outta here, some of y’all will never learn
call of duty.. the reference isnt towards the stupid ass game you butt loving queer. call of duty mean hes got a duty to spray rap down like blacks in the 60’s NIGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Wow, very very wack. This cat is mad overrated.This shit is wack as hell, someone please tell me how this dude got all this notoriety, because of a Jay Z cosign?? Bullshit.
Its crazy how the majority of todays rap fans are so conditioned to listening to simple raps with wack punchlines that when a song with some substance behind the words comes out, yall dont konw how to listen to it correctly.
Wow man, you guys don’t need to be up on current events to understand what is being said. This very simple. Jay Electronica once said, “if I really get into it? Start camouflaging it and shit? I don’t think they’ll be able to read it…” And this? This is simple. You all are just so stupid and can’t cognitively pick up on the lyricism. Find a pattern of a rhyme structure and go with it. You need simple catch phrases.
For the amount of time Jay takes between songs I don’t think this was worth the wait. If you’re gonna put out two songs a year and disappear they better be of the highest quality.
Really? Jay Electronica is overrated? have you heard “The Pledge”? And furthermore wouldn’t you say all the rappers that are in the public’s eye on a constant basis are the overrated ones? Lil Wayne, Drake, Wale, Wiz so on and so forth? I feel ya on the Mac Miller thing, who I am not really a fan of at all, but don’t jump to saying Jay Electronica is overrated. That’s kinda preposterous in my opinion.
I actually like the beat. Very different though. Some kind of experimentation that Dilla (in his time) or Flying Lotus could have made. Lyrics are on point.
all you dumb fucks go listen to your wack-faggot-tight-pant-bitch-ass pop rap, this is solid hip hop and it’s sad that many of you cant realize that, damn what is this world coming to….
Like I have already stated Jay Elec is your fav rappers favorite MC. It doesnt matter how long this man takes to drop the album. Every time he touches the mic you lames are blessed with some knowledge. All this hate, but ya’ll are right here typing on this blog like the next man. SMH haha shake my head.
I have been waiting for a while for him to drop an entire album and just waiting on him gets me anticipating something greater and greater and whether he is being politically antic about this? Keeping people in suspense? Is not working. He’ll do his thing though. When the album drops, these dude won’t understand what mediocre is. But I agree, relatively speaking? He’s put out much hotter tracks with sociological relevance. This? This isn’t his best by any means and I hope he knows it. This is bad bad bad bad.
Just give him some time…lol. I hope you’re being sarcastic. He puts out 1 or 2 songs a year and you’re talkin’ bout just give him some time. He has too much time on his hands.
we expect more. dont pump it like its gonna be the hottest song and its lackluster uninspired rhymes.its not wack but the hype ruined it. sean P and French Montana body this clown. face melter???not at all
Seems to be a disconnect between the beat and the vocals…The instrumental is kind of off-beat and split-second behind the vocals. Whatever, I’ll take a new Jay Electronica song whenever I can get it…
I REALLY fuck with Jay Elec as an emcee, he’s definitely one of the most talented lyricists out there.
The only thing is, since he puts out music so infrequently, he puts more pressure on himself to deliver GREAT music. Same thing with Dr. Dre’s “Detox”… the longer he waits to put it out, the more fans will expect CLASSIC shit. You can’t have fans waiting, then deliver some bullshit.
Song ISNT MIXED. YOU FUCKING IDIOTS. god so many retards and if you hate on Jay Elec listen to Exhibit A or C then SHUT THE FUCK UP. morons i fucking swear
Quick question y did he call this song call of duty MW3 is this promoting the game or sumthin? its a tight ass track just the title got me a lil confused
U shouldn’t 2 listen more than 5 to 10 seconds to know if it’s hit or not!!! My 1st impression was,this bet sucks & it’s way out of context.that kinda beat belongs on a casio demo or bullshit video game lol!!
C4> ready to die. c4> illmatic. C4> all eyez on me. Lil Wayne > insert your favorite old ass rapper here____. all these old rappers trying to advance, young money bitch! Take it like a muthafuckin man. What up Wayne is lord? That’s my nig!
nigga u should shut the fuck up witcho wayne nut swallowin ass. nobody takes u seriously. record sales don’t nessecarily mean shit. sound like a faggot ass 101st or riddim kidz artist.
C4> ready to die. c4> illmatic. C4> all eyez on me. Lil Wayne > insert your favorite old ass rapper here____. all these old rappers trying to advance, young money bitch! Take it like a muthafuckin man. What up Wayne is lord? That’s my nig!!
nigga shut the fuck up witcho wayne nut swallowin ass. nobody takes u seriously. record sales don’t nessecarily mean shit. sound like a faggot ass 101st or riddim kidz artist.
LOL if youre saying young money over jayz, nas, mobb deep, please SHOOT YOURSELF. i’d rather listen to timeless old school rap then new bullshit rap that gets played out after 2 months. faggot, wear your skinny jeans and kiss men like lil wayne
jason, a well known faggot, are u for real? wayne is one of the most garbage artist out, he enjoys dick, he fucks teenage boys who wear skinny jeans after his shows, u have a chance, hahahhaha no one who takes hiphop seriously, puts wayne anywere in the culture, he is pop, young money is justin beiber, but if your a fan of it you dont notice cuz u think i a gangster or some shit? wayne and all of young money is garbage, except corey gunz, but he shouldnt have signed with a buss load of fags, cuz if hang with fags then your a fag, @JASON
You mad bro? Why cause lil Wayne shit all over your 40-50 yr old senior citizen ass favorite rapper? You listen to the old farts while I bump tight Jean wearing ass g’s like lil Wayne . Young money bitch!!! A millie In one week hoe
Man shut the fuck up “puts 2Pac to shame” nigga please there aint gonna be no one that even comes close to 2 Pac not Nas,Not JCOle, not Lupe not even J ELEC this dude is talented as fuck but no one compares to Pac period that Pac spoke for the people go listen to keep ya head up or changes and see if u still come out with that comment
yo dude above me need to come back to earth. Pac was a walking contradiction. He singing about Brenda’s got a baby but then raping women at the same time.
The track starts out with an excerpt from former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s Be Ye Men of Valor wartime speech, and continues with Electronica’s sort of grimy sound over the marching beat. Throughout the song his lyrics embody metaphors of war and pays homage to some of Hip Hop’s iconic soldiers who have passed. He also speaks of his rise to the top of the food chain and the change he is bringing to the hip hop battlefield.
This a solid track. It sounds orders of magnitude better coming out of a quality stereo system or headphones. Considering that was constructed in a 24 hour time span, I’m satisfied with the product. I trust Jay will shock and amaze when Act II eventually drops.
dope lyrics, horrendous beat. stop with all the excuses…you need professional headphones or sound system…etc. that’s bullshit. never heard those lame excuses back in the cassette deck era.
as for Prodigy. I don’t see how him saying “put your diamonds in the sky…get robbed for your shine” is siding with Hov. If anything that sounds more like a shot.
DOPE song, idk what y’all are hatin on it for, the beat is supposed to sound like that you lames…creative beat and flow over it, straight FIRE! i’d give it a 4.5 if i could, get politically aware for u fools who dont get the track.
I don’t care what the beats supposed to sound like cause it sounds like trash. I like Jay Elec but this is fucking trash…he’s rapping the same ol flow and this beat is soooo fucking garbo.
I cant mince words. I was hype for this first day but it still sound like scratching chalk board after time pass to get over disappointment. That unfinished demo is better than this
Was about to say how much I didn’t like it and how JE’s verses were some of the weakest I’d heard. Then, it grew on me.
I think people lose JE if he don’t drop a bunch of supa-tight punchlines, but you gotta understand he BELIEVES the shit he on. So, when he put the Carters and the Rothschilds in the same line, he’s literally trying to give Jay and Bey the same status as the Elites -not just in a verse but in real life.
He on some other shit, some what-he-says-will-become-real type shit. His mind is the abstract -the above- this live is the physical -the below-. As above so below…
this beat is fuckin garbage! damn shame dope lyrics was wasted on this “fartin while singin on the toilet as the rose parade rolls down the block” beat!
its aiight.and someone needs to tell jay electronica u can have a buzz, people can say ur potentially the greatest, but c’mon, u need to put in some work and release more than one song a year to be considered great..c’mon now…
KingShit
the lyrics are ill….the beat cool. was expecting something much more epic, def over-hyped today. gets better after a few listens on some good speakers or headphones. still can’t wait for the whole album. HE”S IT.
Just changin things one song at a time.
Jay was nice, P was uhhh and the beat was weirddd.
beat weird? thats african war music
not bad.
fire
WHAT? Shits fire. Ironic P talking bout throwing diamonds in the sky.
Yeah throw a diamond in the sky? i just read my infamous life were he calls jay z (b!tch boy through out)
yall dont understand shit how old are you?
BANGERRRRRR….let it grow on you….jay electronica is the best rapper again lol
everyone saying this beat is wack you are not listening. this song is a small spark
nigga making up fake terms to excuse mediocrity
just fuckin put headphones on and turn that shit the wayyyyyyyy fuck up and vibe into this.. its unbelievable
CREATIVE SOUND NOT REALLY MY STYLE BUT AS A FAN I RESPECT THE DIRECTION AND THE STANDOUT ABILITY OF IT BUT LYRICS WERE SHARP THO
ask yourself.. have you ever heard anything like this?
wtf does that even mean. shut the fuck up
^^ LOL
there are so many dumb fucking people on this website. it means its creative you small minded gucci loving cock monster
yooooo
thats it everyone! thats our jay electronica track for the year! I’ll see ya’ll some time next year for the next one, maybe it’ll have something to do with the new mario or sonic on the cover…
lol so true these dudes drops a verse every 3 years
This makes no sense? Prodigy hates rocafella..? and he said he aint wear jewls no more cause he represents the hood and poverty>? now he throws his diamonds in the sky>?
YAWN!!!! WAKE ME UP WEN WEEZY DROPS SOME NEW SHIT!! DIS NIGGA GAY ELECTRONICA A NOBODY!!

http://community.therundown.tv/TheRUNDOWN/
MY BOO WAYNE WITH BIEBER HAIR^^^^^^^^^
If u listen closely p says “get jux for ya shine” meaning get robbed but the sampling is off and annoying as hell not too bad tho they did speak much bout da game either so this disappointing since this is the last we gonna hear from jay until 12/31/12
Sounds just about right.
(Jordan fist)
Im gay you guys
Dear Jay Electronica:
Come on man. I know you can make better music than this. Is this what you where hyping us up for over on Twitter?
I thought you where the GOD MC? Mobb Deep is TRASH and they sound like ASS on the hook and the verse. I waited a year to hear a song with a good beat and ONLY Jay E rapping on the track. But NOOOO! You had to put lame ass Mobb Deep on the song and cheate me out of hearing a WHOLE song with just you rapping. Cmon black king you can do better than this.
I knew the song was gonna be lame when you had Mobb Deep come in at the last damn minute of the damn day. What the fuck where you thinking? I knew the song was sub par because by the end of the night you stopped tweeting about it, Young Guru stopped tweeting, and JustBlaze stopped tweeting about the song. Hell you didnt even release the son, change the artwork on your Tumbler page, or mention it on your twitter when it was finished cuz u was probably so embarrassed about how bad it sounded. Ha Ha
To be honest you shold have used the beat that was on the Rough Demo track that you put out a few weeks earlier. Now that would have been tight. But Nooo, you wanted to use some lame ass, corny ass beat. SMH
Jay Electronica, dont you eva put no bull shit out like this eva agian. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?
This song was some strait up nigga shit and sub par at best. I know the black god still dwells deep inside of you, so im asking the god within you to put out some better music than this next time. Please
Thank you
please go find a hobby
dude chill out with that wall of text goddamn
Mobb Deep are dope, get a life
i wanna diss this guys so bad for bitching hardcore, but he’s right. jay E should of and still can do much better…..
Mobb Deep was dope about 15 years ago. Prodigy has forgotten what ”flow” means and sounds worse than 50 after he got shot.
Oh yea.. I forgot to mention that the lyrics where good, but I stand by everything else stated above. Please excuse my typos and misspellings.
Dope!
track is ILL
true hip hop!!!
http://www.g3kbeats.com

one of my new fav songs
one of the best beats i heard this year got that african tribal beat and the sample is crazy fits the lyrics
yup
What is jay electronica suppose to be changing? What is he saying that has NOT already been said before? He name drops religions, he talks about the moon and the stars, the motherland…and so what? He makes up words that sound profound to an average educated person and he is what you hip hop purist call a “game changer.” Rakim, Wu, KRS 1, Killah Priest, Mobb Deep and countless emcees have all rapped like this 100 times better than this dude is trying to do today. This dude wants to be a NY emcee so bad.
Agree 100% man…he’s good, not great imo…it’s not hating to say someone isn’t GREAT…
If anyone on this site thinks Electronic is a doper emcee than Elzhi (a game changer imo as a solo artist…been around since late 90s, but last 5 years focusing on solo career has been REMARKABLY ILL) for example, they need to do research…I like MCs that make me press rewind or say GOD DAMN
New Jay Electronica joints are always welcome.
i’m not feeling this, not at all
decent,,,,,,theres worst shit out there,,,,,a lot of pink panty rap runnin around,,,,give it some time,,,,it’ll grow,,,,,the rothchild reference was,,,,,,,not hot,,,,,,,how about having lunch,,,with your people,,,,hmmmm
JAY ELECTRONICA needs to stop riding his own dick and buying the hype.
dude dropped ONE dope track. ONE.
his beats suck. he’s a weak producer. it’s like pulling teeth getting this guy to release music. he’s lazy. then he drops a joint, and it’s weak. and every corny hip hop blog plays right into it. they give him the platform and play into his terms. show n prove. you been out for YEARS, and there’s no body of work.
i don’t know ANYONE that can quote a jay electronica joint in real life. he’s internet hype at its finest. cats act like exhibit c was “juicy”. best part about this track was prodigy.
all this hype for one damn track. “it’s coming” “i’m gonna make NY come to a standstill”, just drop the track and let the music do the talking you clown. this guy couldn’t compete in the 90’s, all smoke n mirrors.
EXACTLY!!!
I have to co-sign this, this is exactly how I feel about this dude’s music.
Well said my man, well said…way overhyped…dudes like him, j. cole, and even lupe (Although he’s proven he can be dope, but i still feel overrated) are overhyped and their comp in the mainstream is wack for the most part.
Dudes who SHOULD be hyped that are super duper dope emcees include ELZHI (ILLEST alive imo), ONE BE LO, DIABOLIC, TONEDEFF, JUICE, PERCEE-P, LOUIS LOGIC, APATHY, SLUG, BROTHER ALI, SLAUGHTERHOUSE, SHAD, JEAN GRAE, MONCH, MASTA ACE, G RAP to name a FEW of many!
You geeked!
Yall smokin CRACK!! them 3 of the realest mc’s out and they put knowledged in they verses! SMH
Strongly disagree. As far as flow and lyrics Jay Electronica has it locked, and I really don’t see how anyone could hate on the beat for “queens get the money”. I don’t hear too many people quoting jay around my way either, nor do I hear them quoting K.R.I.T, DOOM, or plenty other underrated rappers, beacause most of the people I know are quoting mindless wayne lyrics, but if that’s what you judge an MC’s quality by…
jay electronicas exhibit c is sposed to be some kinda hip hop classic, right?
i can’t quote one lyric. haven’t played it in forever. never heard it in a cipher, never saw anybody ask the DJ to spin it. can you quote anything from that song without looking it up?
this dude can rhyme, but he gets too much hype and attention considering how inactive he is. he has more interviews than tracks. he’s on twitter all day everyday. he hyped this track for 48 hours. he adds pressure to himself when he’s already shown an inability to handle it.
i’ve never seen an emcee duck the light quite like electronica. no doubt he can get it in, but there’s emcees that can spit just as nice that work at least twice as hard. blogs need to get off this dude’s dick till he’s ready to present a full body of work. everytime you gas his singles he goes missing for 12 months.
@ Javito 1: I actually do like the beat he did for Nas (simple, but dope), but to say he has the flow/LYRICS game on lock is just flat out wrong. I think he’s a GOOD emcee no doubt and has shown he can be dope, the following to me are doper with the flow and lyrics and ppl I’d rather listen to off the top of my head

Prob more…point being is Jay Electronica is a good emcee, but the hypebole ppl use when you see the list of dope known names and slept on underground cats above who are basically all ILLER w/ more proven material than this dude
I like Jay E but this shit is wack, and the title doesn’t fit the song concept. Also, not every nigga has diamonds to wave so fuck y’all.
i like Jay Electronica a lot but this song is meh, don’t really get the name to this either. And it’s kind of weird that he did a song with Mobb Deep, he’s signed to Roc Nation, then again i don’t know if Jay-Z and Mobb Deep squashed the beef, but i don’t really care about that beef, so i never kept up with it.
…..
Funny how the niggas wot the most shit to talk is Anonymous! Haa! I would have liked to hear some hard Drums tho. However #Get it Poppin Jay.
Jay Electronica is your favorite Rappers favorite MC.
I’m sorry but Mobb Depp only got a few thousand fans left. Jay came incredibly weak to be hyping himself like he did. I feel like I’m missing some deep coded messege that should make this shit hot. Its fucking mind boggling to think Jay Elect got niggas waiting two years from the time this was supposed to drop for this. Then you know you gotta wait another year at least for Act III. I’m not hype anymore. If he say he dropping a track from now on I’ll be like oh ok…
Then Young Guru got the nerve to tweet something like “Somethings are just worth the wait”
NO!
Not bad…Not good either…the hook sucks…the beat is boring to me….I don’t know…He takes so long to realease music…I expected something much better than this. He is by far the most mystifying rapper out there right now…He can definately capitialize off that fact..but….I don’t know..I think he needs a better marketing team. I can tell he is carefully not trying to oversaturate the game..but damn..you gotta come harder than this.
@Truth
cosign
one more thing…I think he should of put Buster rhymes on the hook…He could have added much needed energy…Jay Elec is layed back..prodigy is layed back…you gotta have some kind of contrast on the track.
he said buster
He misspelled truth and then said Buster…lmao…Fail…lol
Damn…I did mispell that shit….oh well…I’m not cool enough to not slip…BUT I DAMN SURE TO COOL TO FALL!!! lol!!!
how this guy from the south and sound so new york same thing with j cole
So how should he sound?retarded,slow and Illiterate?cause if you want him to sound southern that’s exactly how he would sound.See Waka,Gucci,Birdman,OJ Da Juiceman,Lil Wayne,D4L,Shawty Lo,Ace Hood etc..
j cole is from germany, and was a big canibus fan at one point
No question the kid is nice and no doubt he gets busy- I’m not talking about him but Ali Lafayette Rhea. One Love
shut the fuck up.
FUCK YOU Ali queer
The mediocre jay elect is still better than than 99% of young money’s output. 3/5 outta 5 stars honestly tho…
i can see MMW3 using this as there trailer
about damn time. so much talent but just takes forever to relese. Dont turn into a Dre
I wanted to like this more but the beat was wack it could of been so much better…
all of you with paragraphs of negative shit, shut up no one cares. either you like it or not, you DO NOT know what you’re talking about so dont act like it, and after everything it’s just your opinion
WTF IS THIS? this is what you fools been waiting for ?!?! LOL
HEY GUYS IM A RAPPER AND I WOULD LIKE FOR YALL TO CHECK ME OUT I KNOW YALL LOOKIN LIKE THIS PROLLY JUST ANOTHER NIGGA TRYING TO SPIT AND HE WACK BUT CHECK ME OUT ON YOUTUBE I PROMISE NOT TO DISSAPOINT lilkaz604
Jay Elect is nice and has wild potential but this song here is an embarrassment…Everybody defending him need to stop saying lyrically he did his thing though.You wouldn’t buy a sandwich where the turkey and cheese were bad but say the bread was really good though…Don’t hype something up to be the second coming of something and then present it over a beat like that.Especially when Jay had access to Just Blaze and Havoc..smfh
I think Jay Electronica is a GOOD emcee, but to say he has the flow/LYRICS game on lock is just flat out wrong. I think he’s solid no doubt and has shown he can be dope, but the following to me are doper with the flow and lyrics and ppl I’d rather listen to off the top of my head:

“off the top”
did you really just put Louis Logic, Hopsin and other pretty wack artist and say they are better then Jay? Your crazy son and wtf you mean at their best? you sound retarded as fuck or a young cat. Sorry just thought I let you know. Also MF DOOM is always at his fucking best.
man you listen to some real shit
You really expect people to read your essay? You got to much time bitch.
“Man you listen to some real shit” Ho. You just naming basically everybody! It’s cool to be hip hop head but don’t front like you have a refined taste. Jay Elect is hot. End of. Everything he does sounds good. And I bet most of the MCs on that list love and or fear him, because of his lyrics and amazing biggie-esque flow. How you gonna name people like Doom, Jean Grae, Hopsin etc. Wikipedia killed Hip Hop.
Too much Mon, Make a blog or something
not one wack rapper on this list
“did you really just put Louis Logic, Hopsin and other pretty wack artist and say they are better then Jay? Your crazy son and wtf you mean at their best? you sound retarded as fuck or a young cat. Sorry just thought I let you know. Also MF DOOM is always at his fucking best.”
love the “and other pretty wack artist” part bc you know there weren’t any WACK artist on there…Young? I’ll be 29 in Jan so I would assume I’d be on the older end of most ppl on here (been listening Dope emcees for 15-20 years which I know a majority on here can’t say)
I do write long ish @ times, but it honestly took me like 5-10 mins to write
“And I bet most of the MCs on that list love and or fear him, because of his lyrics and amazing biggie-esque flow. How you gonna name people like Doom, Jean Grae, Hopsin etc. Wikipedia killed Hip Hop.”
Wikipedia killed Hip Hop? You’re right those emcees (+ many more, including Jay Electronica by the way) aren’t on my itunes/numerous mixes that I make for me and many other ILL hip hop craving friends…
Yea Elzhi, Diabolic, Tonedeff, G Rap, Slaughterhouse, Pharoahe, and a ton of the emcees I listed on there FEAR this 33/34 year old dude who has zero albums.
Crooked I doesn’t have an album either (tragic), but he’s a doper emcee (imo) that Electronica. Again don’t start crying youngins who have been used to garbage the last 8 years so now they hear Jay Elec and think he’s the messiah.
Elzhi, Tonedeff, Diabolic, Louis Logic, One Be Lo, Lowkey, Juice, Percee-P come to mind as dudes MOST on here don’t know well that would SLAY Jay Elec (a good emcee, not GREAT emcee)…
The point I was making with this list (i’m sure maybe there a few on there even I would pick Jay Elec over, but not many) is that there are a TON of super dope emcees out there that have NUMEROUS examples of how amazing they are yet ppl who know less than half of who I listed (in terms of REALLY KNOWING THEIR material) love to say, “YOU’RE AN IDIOT, YOU’RE A RETARD”, Elec is the best!
Thanks to the heads that agreed with the list and know that dudes like Elec, Cole, Lupe are overrated by ppl who think they know alot of dope emcees
PMD flow?? This jam is deeper than most, and if you really listen closely, those with the real music ears, you will feel a blast from the past of real Hip Hop, which is EPMD. Dont know why but I get that feeling listening to this joint.
this is awful
gar … bage. The track is dead.
yo this shit dont even sound mixdown lmao! Moob deep is done ! this beat sounds like that wild asss kanyewest joint smh
I like Jay Electronica but this shit is trash. Sounds like they let a cat walk across an mpc for an hour while it recorded and then dropped verses over it.
hahahahahaha where do yall niggaz come up with these ideas??? yall niggaz should put that creativity to use
NICE TRY JAY ELEC … YOU USE THIS TITLE TO ATTRACT THE KIDDIES AND LISTEN TO THE SONG, BUT THIS WON’T APPEAL TO THEM.
Soo … Were you listening to the beat or the words !?

that shit was wack…that nigga talkin bout nothing
Fuck you! This guys blows balls, lil Wayne shits all over him anyday. Young Money baby!
Im sure they said something in the song but the beat was terrible. Good music is a good beat plus good lyrics….If youre missing one or the other then both are irrelevant.
how is he talking about nothing? lol y’all are fools, and you wouldn’t understand the lines about the royal families.
young money all day LMAO that’s hilarious, dude drops some real substance in his raps and of course this lame brings up Wayne who doesn’t do shit but brainwash the masses and dumb them down to truth. Fuck outta here, some of y’all will never learn
wait… why the fuck is this track called MW3???? it has nothin to do with it!!
Bruh, if you can’t see MW3 and all the inferences to it in the song, you have no business commenting on music. Will all due respect…
*With* all due respect…
call of duty.. the reference isnt towards the stupid ass game you butt loving queer. call of duty mean hes got a duty to spray rap down like blacks in the 60’s NIGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
That track had more metaphors than a thesaurus.
ONE OF THE WORST SONGS IVE EVER HEARD..
Oh yeah…and ya’ll kiss my ass,,,,this a hip hop site…You want to correct grammar errors? Go be a substitute teacher….
damn Jay….can’t really cosign this ish. give us ACT II!!!!!
Bangin. Loving this.
WIGGITY WIGGITY WIGGITY WACK !!!!!!!!!!!!
A STAR.
Wow, very very wack. This cat is mad overrated.This shit is wack as hell, someone please tell me how this dude got all this notoriety, because of a Jay Z cosign?? Bullshit.
This nigga dining with the rothchilds…look them up, This cat is a HOUSE NIGGA.
Its crazy how the majority of todays rap fans are so conditioned to listening to simple raps with wack punchlines that when a song with some substance behind the words comes out, yall dont konw how to listen to it correctly.
thats the problem. no substance. its just designed to make ppl think theres substance
Wow man, you guys don’t need to be up on current events to understand what is being said. This very simple. Jay Electronica once said, “if I really get into it? Start camouflaging it and shit? I don’t think they’ll be able to read it…” And this? This is simple. You all are just so stupid and can’t cognitively pick up on the lyricism. Find a pattern of a rhyme structure and go with it. You need simple catch phrases.
Its not the lyrics idiot…Its the shitty ass beat people dont like.
For the amount of time Jay takes between songs I don’t think this was worth the wait. If you’re gonna put out two songs a year and disappear they better be of the highest quality.
i agree. we’ve been waiting too long for something thats just “ok”.
i think i blew my eardrums out with this track
Yo this is FIRE!
Dude has to be the most overrated rapper ever and Mac Miller raps circles around Prodigy nowadays.
Really? Jay Electronica is overrated? have you heard “The Pledge”? And furthermore wouldn’t you say all the rappers that are in the public’s eye on a constant basis are the overrated ones? Lil Wayne, Drake, Wale, Wiz so on and so forth? I feel ya on the Mac Miller thing, who I am not really a fan of at all, but don’t jump to saying Jay Electronica is overrated. That’s kinda preposterous in my opinion.
fire
He’s waaaaaack.
?? Really? You serious?
I actually like the beat. Very different though. Some kind of experimentation that Dilla (in his time) or Flying Lotus could have made. Lyrics are on point.
all you dumb fucks go listen to your wack-faggot-tight-pant-bitch-ass pop rap, this is solid hip hop and it’s sad that many of you cant realize that, damn what is this world coming to….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmc4b89M4d0
j elec. is a genious lyricist….shut up…..and listen to my song =]
Pretty good, the beat is alright, better than most shit, and obv the flow n lyrics were great 🙂 4/5
its not bad but not great
he got nuttin on wayne
this dude will probably sell 70,000 – 100,000 just for the simple fact that he’s on Rocnation and a Jay-Z co-sign apparently makes you great.
2 stars, the only thing good was the lyrics, his flow and the beat is crap.
some of these comments are funny as hell! listen to a song more than once before u become critics
hype nation
this isn’t even mixed yet!!!!!! check the science behind the record u bunch of mooks!!
http://eyeofelectronica.tumblr.com/post/11319375276/i-wouldnt-have-believed-it-myself-if-i-hadnt
Like I have already stated Jay Elec is your fav rappers favorite MC. It doesnt matter how long this man takes to drop the album. Every time he touches the mic you lames are blessed with some knowledge. All this hate, but ya’ll are right here typing on this blog like the next man. SMH haha shake my head.
Yall are forcing yourselves to like that shit because you bought into the hype. Shit is whack as fuck.
”Pardon me, I had to laugh at dat”.
Dude hyping this garbage up, this is some everyday shit if you like underground Hip Hop. Nothing is good about this, everything is mediocre.
beats pretty weak…if this was an album filler id think its nice, but the 2 tracks a year thing really makes me expects alot for him
I have been waiting for a while for him to drop an entire album and just waiting on him gets me anticipating something greater and greater and whether he is being politically antic about this? Keeping people in suspense? Is not working. He’ll do his thing though. When the album drops, these dude won’t understand what mediocre is. But I agree, relatively speaking? He’s put out much hotter tracks with sociological relevance. This? This isn’t his best by any means and I hope he knows it. This is bad bad bad bad.
He did kind of say that he was just going to put out something with just ghetto content though. IN HIS DEFENSE.
Just give him some time…
Just give him some time…lol. I hope you’re being sarcastic. He puts out 1 or 2 songs a year and you’re talkin’ bout just give him some time. He has too much time on his hands.
yeah Im d**k rydin anything Jay Elec gets a 5 from me ..tough shit
we expect more. dont pump it like its gonna be the hottest song and its lackluster uninspired rhymes.its not wack but the hype ruined it. sean P and French Montana body this clown. face melter???not at all
The beat could have been WAY better. But Electra’s rhymes were too tight and pretty much saved the song.
Seems to be a disconnect between the beat and the vocals…The instrumental is kind of off-beat and split-second behind the vocals. Whatever, I’ll take a new Jay Electronica song whenever I can get it…
HATERS YALL SUCK A DICK
Fan of Jay, but this shit sucks.
I REALLY fuck with Jay Elec as an emcee, he’s definitely one of the most talented lyricists out there.
The only thing is, since he puts out music so infrequently, he puts more pressure on himself to deliver GREAT music. Same thing with Dr. Dre’s “Detox”… the longer he waits to put it out, the more fans will expect CLASSIC shit. You can’t have fans waiting, then deliver some bullshit.
this song is OK, by the way. 3.5/5
Song ISNT MIXED. YOU FUCKING IDIOTS. god so many retards and if you hate on Jay Elec listen to Exhibit A or C then SHUT THE FUCK UP. morons i fucking swear
When you get his dick out of your mouth, you’ll realize that that doesn’t change the fact that THIS song is terrible.
Oh nothing wrong with rapping completely off beat, since they can just mix it! That takes away from talent and effort. Anyways the song is OK.
haters
Don’t like this
how the hell does this suck?
don’t like this track
cool.
Old school rap from the eat coast is whut it sounds like.It sucks now,and would of sucked back then.
Quick question y did he call this song call of duty MW3 is this promoting the game or sumthin? its a tight ass track just the title got me a lil confused
U shouldn’t 2 listen more than 5 to 10 seconds to know if it’s hit or not!!! My 1st impression was,this bet sucks & it’s way out of context.that kinda beat belongs on a casio demo or bullshit video game lol!!
..you are what is wrong with “fans” today.. how you gon judge a song solely on beat? and more than that after 10 SECONDS? gtfo
whack as fuck
swollen members – night vision
youtube that shit
real rap not this pop hop garbage

jason, a well known faggot, are u for real? wayne is one of the most garbage artist out, he enjoys dick, he fucks teenage boys who wear skinny jeans after his shows, u have a chance, hahahhaha no one who takes hiphop seriously, puts wayne anywere in the culture, he is pop, young money is justin beiber, but if your a fan of it you dont notice cuz u think i a gangster or some shit? wayne and all of young money is garbage, except corey gunz, but he shouldnt have signed with a buss load of fags, cuz if hang with fags then your a fag, @JASON
You mad bro? Why cause lil Wayne shit all over your 40-50 yr old senior citizen ass favorite rapper? You listen to the old farts while I bump tight Jean wearing ass g’s like lil Wayne . Young money bitch!!! A millie In one week hoe
this is fire this should be 4 stars at least
Nobody puts in as much effort as jay elect. He gives us a whole 2 songs a year!!! Hardest working hip hop artist, he puts 2pac and lil Wayne to shame.
LOL… He’s like a less-popular Andre 3000
Man shut the fuck up “puts 2Pac to shame” nigga please there aint gonna be no one that even comes close to 2 Pac not Nas,Not JCOle, not Lupe not even J ELEC this dude is talented as fuck but no one compares to Pac period that Pac spoke for the people go listen to keep ya head up or changes and see if u still come out with that comment
yo dude above me need to come back to earth. Pac was a walking contradiction. He singing about Brenda’s got a baby but then raping women at the same time.
can yu proove he raped someone cause yur just spittin bullshit
guy with the ^^^^^ for his name, do you know what sarcasm is?
-_-
this song was recorded in the last few days…he mentions Steve Jobs dying right at the beginning of the song
he said it was mad in 24 hours..duh
start off a song ripping off biggie smalls lyrics nice
fire!!!!!!!
swag
He has moments but he lacks enthusiasm , character and most important the emotion to set him apart. Not bad but not great at all.
best comment here
THIS DUDE IS……
5/5
always been a fan. jay wit new dope rhymes.
This is boring as shit. Fuck Jay Electronica
MOBB DEEP MURDER JAY ON HIS ON ISH..
Is that a Havoc beat??
Hard regardless. I’m loving this.
“Put your diamonds in sky, wave em’ side side get robbed for shine”
YeP. 5% pro black built!
This track is ridiculous. P came correct and Jay is the man, point blank.
only real or intelligent fellas feel this shit. Revolution. jay i get ya,
Now that’s a true rap song. Man, I’d love to hear Chuck D on that shit.
thats some visionary shit you just said
Listening again in headphones…Sounds much better. Dont judge this song strictly off of laptop speakers.
Hot
bitch im jesus
Mobb Deep sayin that shit about the rock? Damn. Everybody falls to the feet of HOV! Lol. Now NAS and them have something in common.
I mean… they both ARE from Queensbridge…
Prodigy is not from Queensbridge
Ummm….
You know it’s hot when them haterz come out!!
penis, that is all
Fire!!!
Okey dokey
why is the song named Call of Duty: MW3 ?????
Probably so it gets more hits, lol
The track starts out with an excerpt from former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s Be Ye Men of Valor wartime speech, and continues with Electronica’s sort of grimy sound over the marching beat. Throughout the song his lyrics embody metaphors of war and pays homage to some of Hip Hop’s iconic soldiers who have passed. He also speaks of his rise to the top of the food chain and the change he is bringing to the hip hop battlefield.
DOPE!
jay has done way better, prodigy sounded half asleep
This a solid track. It sounds orders of magnitude better coming out of a quality stereo system or headphones. Considering that was constructed in a 24 hour time span, I’m satisfied with the product. I trust Jay will shock and amaze when Act II eventually drops.
That beat is on point real heavy
boring beat
Terrible.
Jay still the king.
Perfect!!!
5Stars I wonder How Hov feel about The Collabo? Just Curious!
Lol, what a stupid fucking name
Fan of Jay, but this shit sucks.
dope lyrics, horrendous beat. stop with all the excuses…you need professional headphones or sound system…etc. that’s bullshit. never heard those lame excuses back in the cassette deck era.
as for Prodigy. I don’t see how him saying “put your diamonds in the sky…get robbed for your shine” is siding with Hov. If anything that sounds more like a shot.
DOPE song, idk what y’all are hatin on it for, the beat is supposed to sound like that you lames…creative beat and flow over it, straight FIRE! i’d give it a 4.5 if i could, get politically aware for u fools who dont get the track.
I don’t care what the beats supposed to sound like cause it sounds like trash. I like Jay Elec but this is fucking trash…he’s rapping the same ol flow and this beat is soooo fucking garbo.
beat is awful
swagger
after listening to this and lowering my hype around it i realize that the beat really isnt that great. jay’s delivering is so powerful though
Made it out the Ghettio!
this beat is sick, maybe lex luger should of made it, yall would appreciate it more. FI.
He’s kinda overrated, as are most decent MCs these days.
Prodigy is still nasty though…
Prodigy is terribly overrated.
Hot Garbage!
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
This shit left dookie stains on my speakers!
people have different tastes in music so stop arguing
2/5
more fucked up than the game itself, and thats fking hard believe me.
Jay & P be killin’ em. FIIYYYAAAA!! That beat is ridiculous. The flow is ridiculous. Wish it was on the album, though.
nigga stop lyin this shit sound horrible!
Why the fuck is this called Call of Duty: MW3?
Sounds like he just put this name on here to get more hits. Dick-riding the gaming industry i see… tsk tsk
Song is average btw, so yeah it wouldn’t be worth shit without the fucking title.
It is a fucking stupid title. I’m not saying anything about his rapping ability, but dude is trying way too hard to generate hype with that title.
… You do realise that this is a soundtrack for Call of Duty: MW3 right? And that is why it’s called: … Call of Duty: MW3.
Good job, Jay E
Jay electronica is overrated, and always steals lines.
If his song doesn’t start with exhibit, then it’s wak as fuk
a true 3.. i like it. um gritty? i just dont see when id actually listen to a song like this..
Damn!!! Electronica n MOBB!!! wat else do u gotta say!! beat is craaazy!! n u alrdy know bout lyrics! electronica keep comin son!!!
I cant mince words. I was hype for this first day but it still sound like scratching chalk board after time pass to get over disappointment. That unfinished demo is better than this
Jay Elec dope rapper

decent track beat is ugly..
dope shit
Stolen verses and shitty beat. NO.
really alotta cats know he madd ill but can’t admit it. He stays madd diff and ova niggas heads so that’s always a plus for me!
lol straight up this song sucks.
who sniff the coke on this one. no no noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Was about to say how much I didn’t like it and how JE’s verses were some of the weakest I’d heard. Then, it grew on me.
I think people lose JE if he don’t drop a bunch of supa-tight punchlines, but you gotta understand he BELIEVES the shit he on. So, when he put the Carters and the Rothschilds in the same line, he’s literally trying to give Jay and Bey the same status as the Elites -not just in a verse but in real life.
He on some other shit, some what-he-says-will-become-real type shit. His mind is the abstract -the above- this live is the physical -the below-. As above so below…
Fa’sho
Beat is a little too repetetive for my liking but it’s just the right tempo. JE dancing circles around these other rap cats as usual.
NICE!!!!
how cud u put this on the same site at t millz and chuckee ‘s trash pile raps?
Jay i love u. the people fuck w u
Captures the ol’ mobb deep magic. well done jay.
Jay electronica is the best rapper in the game, ‘anonymous’ you are clearly retarded, nobody is spittin about shit like that, nobody is on his level..
not the most recent annonymous the one down
this beat is fuckin garbage! damn shame dope lyrics was wasted on this “fartin while singin on the toilet as the rose parade rolls down the block” beat!
lmao wut!!!
its aiight.and someone needs to tell jay electronica u can have a buzz, people can say ur potentially the greatest, but c’mon, u need to put in some work and release more than one song a year to be considered great..c’mon now…
beat is ass. verses is ass.
Nagala
i like both of these cats genuinely as rappers but this joint is NOT doin it for me. sorry, just keepin it 100.
