he can... when he raps he doesn't need a microphone, the microphone needs him
And if you're yelling out YOLO, I'm calling you a homo...

Read the other thread.

There is an easily discernible animus toward Jay Electronica. The strongest detractors being rappers themselves.

he puts his raps up against anyone on planet earth. What else is new.
Sometimes is not what you say but how you say it. Not sure how bold this is but I'd put a weak Jay Electronica track up against the very best Mindbender and I'm sure the majority would favor in Jay.

About as bold as saying Dids has a basement occupied by chained-up, female, blonde twenty-somethings.

don't twist it. I can't particularly rap/deliver as good as some of the greats (my endurance isn't as strong as Black Thought... I get too hype in shows, gotta work on my breath control), but bar for bar, I think I can hang with anyone. But I think everyone should think like this about their rhymes, so whatever.

The real question, though, the only question: Why do you post more than you rap?

And I have to say, buddy, not that we don't deserve it because we are, in fact, Yankee assholes. However, your "F.A.I.L." song is a rather foul and abbrasive missive to us here in the lower forty-eight.

I did and for the most part stayed out of it because of where the thread was going. I like Jay but don't put him on the level some of you guys do. I just think its fucked up to resort to rappers on here being jealous because they were like they don't get the hype. I know there's tons of artists out there you don't get what the hype it all about.

If I was like another blog that I check is the complete fuckin' shit and you guys were like "yeah, its aight but its not all that", should the rappers on here be like, "ah, fuck that, y'all jealous about the other bloggers", what would your response be to that?

When I dislike another producer and act like I don't understand why other people feel him or her as much as they do, I know 90% of that is rooted in jealousy and self-hatred.

I'm gonna bet most rappers who feel apathy towards Jay Electronica do so for the same reason, whether or not they (can) admit it. After "Exhibit C", there should be no doubt about what he can do, what he brings to rap, and why he appeals to so many people.

Also, they should stop admitting to being jealous in no uncertain terms while Ardamus shuffles and cops pleas for them.

Can yall shut the fuck up? Yall keep telling us why we feel a certain way about shit and yall are just fucking ridiculous.

This entire site is a fuckin' high school. And every differing opinion is met with "if you don't like what I like then you're a faggot".

Bottomline, you're an insecure bitch if you can't deal with someone having an opinion different from yours. If you need everyone to agree with you and your viewpoints then something is seriously wrong with you.

Thanks. But I like calling people insecure bitches. Less syllables.

Employee, how do you find Jay compares to Illmatic-era Nasty Nas and Common circa '97?

Do you think he's better? Do you notice any similarities in style?

Just curious.

Talking shit about me as usual don't answer the question at all.

Fuck this, time to bring up old shit.
How about that time you made that thread about Blu, Thun? Remember that shit? Now, you don't mind that muthafucka now do you? But when you made that thread you were definitely on some "I don't get all the hype" shit.

dude, I barely post anymore. People still quote me and stalk me and bring my name up though. Don't blame me. I could post one brand new song a day for the next 3 months if I wanted to. No matter how much I reveal on this website, you don't know me when I'm offline, Employee.
'F.A.I.L.' is just a playful jab. I said nothing untrue or extreme. Just making observations, heyy.

"your symbol isn't a peaceful eagle, it's an arrogant vulture/ hustlers and charlatans are the high priests of American culture" is one of the harshest lines in the song, and I don't even think it's that bad.

you should contribute, Smitty.

ironically, one of the verses I was going to put up was my verse from "My Savings Account" on Pip Skid's "lets just call you quits" album, but I didn't get to a studio in time.

peanuts and corn, yo. be part of the Canadian Hip Hop Takeover of 2010. It's gonna be a slobberknocker!!!

peace to all the rappers who publicly admit they are trying to be as amazing as possible. ain't no shame in wanting to create greatness, is there?

Put it this way: There is no one on earth or any other planet or in any other solar system superior to Jay Electronica. His answering machine's outgoing message is the ether to Illmatic along with countless other classics.
