Good read.

Although surprisingly you didn't add Shyne to your list of Jewish rappers.

If Bad Boy doesn't want Shyne neither do the Jews.

Fair enough. Just thought since he's a black Jew, it's somewhat of an oddity or worth the mention.

<i> We once asked for Eminem and instead we got fucking Matisyahu.</i>

i did, i'm just confused. at the end there are you saying jews are rooting for jay electronica? i don't see it. i feel like all hip-hop heads are.

i think if you want to talk in terms of visible jewish support behind a new rapper the argument is more convincing with drake.

would there even be a connection between jay and jews if those two bars weren't in exhibit c?

Well you do realize this was all tongue-in-cheek, right? I agree, most of the hip-hop heads out there are rooting for Jay, but more people, especially those directly involved in hip-hop that just happen to be Jewish seem to really support him. It probably has to do with him being authentic and truly talented, where as Drake is not that authentic, nor as talented.

jay and jew are similar words in that they both start with the same letter.

I'm a genius. A voice of a generation. a kanye, if you will/

yeah i realize

and i appreciated the post, i'm jewish too

i just think it's a bit much on anyone's part to connect the dots between jews and jay elect, or put cultural support behind an extremely small cultural nod being two words he used in a song. apparently that's all it takes, which is interesting.

i think just as likely as jay using any more jewish words is him starting to deny the holocaust. if you read the dude's twitter he says some pretty batshit crazy things.

Well he isn't really a man of just one religion. He is well-versed in Judaism and has stated on several occasions that he still learning and has contemplated the switch. He does say some wild shit, but what dope rapper doesn't?

Dope read.
Gloss you know about D. Schwartz??
My homie did the video. I got a cameo, in full hipster-ware. Dulce & Gabbana jacket gawwds. Dana Dearmond was the first porn-star I ever met.

So ALL is well if he converts?
Smart business plan or a genuine conversion?
And I don't mean ANY offense, but a bean counter could have a hay day of a refute.

Not to stray away from Jay Elec, but this song is dope. You from down here in S. Florida, Renessis? I've heard some stuff from D. Shwartz over the years. I've always been a fan.

Never heard of him but the video was pretty impressive for an unknown. He looks/sounds a bit like Alchemist. Nothing I'd personally rock but he isn't bad by any means.

I live in LA, that video was shot in Chatsworth, my homie directed. He's been a fan of D since the Fresh Air Fund days, and linked with him a while back. D got on one of my beats, but we never ended up using it. I made a cameo, helped clean up the shoot afterwards. D's mad dope, his visuals were shot in South Florida.
