As a rapper I'm going to be more critical of other rappers because I know what it takes to create a verse or a good track. Do you really, though? I ask this because most people here who've heard your music would say you've never recorded anything that even vaguely resembles a good track and, at you...

Exactly! You know how I feel about your skills but the problem with you is aside from a few CL cameos not many people are familiar with you at all. You have talent for days but your biggest crutch would be your inept marketing, promoting and branding of Cashmere The Pro. Mixed in with your blase pa...

Glad Mac, a rapper, is actually speaking honest and on point in this thread. I really beg to differ that ego and resentment doesn't play some role in rappers not liking or "getting" Jay Elec.

Im probably gonna catch heat for this but if you take into consideration where he's from, how and what he spits about, it makes him more appealing. If he was from New York, he might not have as much appeal. Other than that, I think its mainly due to the fact that he's a newer artist who people a li...

the assumption that everyone's music experience equates with your own pretty much negates any argument you have the social aspect maybe gone or at least warped for you and your friends. but the fact that you, as a somewhat jaded 26 year old, don't feel quite the same thrill from a new album does no...
