Jay Electronica - Exhibit C





The Enigmatic Jay Electronica is an MC that many Hip Hop Heads were hoping for!
Jay Electronica has released NO albums, he has the oddest style with Mix Tapes (?) like Act I: Eternal Sunshine -where he rapped over the Original SoundTrack(OST) to the film, The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.
Jay Electronica has other releases like Attack of The Clones, Style Wars and Scratches & Demo Tape VOLUME I.
Jay Electronica has an amazing Flow that is infused poetically with The Nation Of Gods and Earths' Supreme Mathematics, Supreme Alphabet, The 120 Lessons, The Surahs, Fruits of Islam talk and Revolutionary themes.
Every Hip Hop Head in America and elsewhere are anticipating an album from Jay, The fans are definitely into him and his tracks are only teasers of what we have yet to truly see.
His Wife, Erykah badu, says that even she doesn't know if he will ever drop an album soon.

The Craft Jay Electronica must be working on is most likely DELICATE BUSINESS! nothing to take lightly...

Today, I want to showcase Exhibit C. This Just Blaze produced track, sets a very high bar for a lot of rappers, more namely, southern rappers -in respect to taking more time to produce their work, make your craft unique. Up North rappers are tested too.
Jay speaks on how he was put on to the Supreme Science of The Nations Of Gods and Earths.
Alcohol Addiction was the turning point when he was approached by the NGE and was told to Build or Destory. Jay speaks of 3rd Ward Project living in New Orleans.
Jay speaks with Authority and in many respects he even reminds me of Killah Priest. I truly can not wait to see what he dishes out in the future, Electronica's feature in RE:definition was pretty dope as he rapped alongside Talib Kweli, J. Cole and Mos Def.

Jay Electronica can most definitely hold his weight against well established veterans, even new gunner J. Cole.
This Summer is going to be HOT!! Here are the lyrics to Exhibit C and a youtube Vid, of course!



When I was sleepin on the train,
sleepin on Meserole Ave out in the rain
without even a single slice of pizza to my name
too proud to beg for change mastering the pain
when new york niggas were calling southern rappers lame,
but then jacking our slang
I used to get dizzy spells
and hear a little ring
the voice of a Angel
telling me my name
telling me that one day imma be a great man transforming with the MegatronDon spittin out flames,
eatin wack rappers alive shittin out chains.
I ain't believe it then.
Nigga I was homeless
Fightin, shootin dice, smokin weed on the corners
tryna find the meaning of life in a corona
till the 5 percenters rolled up on a nigga and informed him:

"you either build or destroy. Where you come from?"
"The Magnolia projects in the 3rd ward slum"
"Hmmm... its quite amazing that you rhyme how you do
and how you shine like tou grew up in a shrine in Peru."

Question14 - Muslim Lesson 2: Dip over, Civilize a 85er.
I make the devil hit his knees and say the Our Father.

Abracadabra!
You rockin with the True and Living
shot out to Lights Out, Joseph I, Chewy Bivens,
shout out to Baltimore, Baton Rouge, my crew in Richmond.
While y'all debated who the truth was like Jews and Christians
I was on Cecil B, Broad Street, Master, North Philly, South Philly, 23rd, Tasker.
6 mile, 7 mile, Hartwell, Gratiot: Where niggas really would pack a uhaul truck up,
put the high beams on, drive up on the curb at a barbecue and hop out the back like "what's up!",
kill a nigga, rob a nigga, take a nigga, bust up.
That's why when you talk the tough talk I never feel ya.
You sound real good and you play the part well, but the energy you givin off is so unfamiliar.

Nas hit me up on the phone, said "What you waitin on?"
Tip hit me up with a twitt, said "What you waitin on?"
Diddy send a text every hour on the dot sayin "When you gon drop that verse nigga you taking long"

So now I'm back spittin that He Could Pass A Polygraph
that Reverend Run rockin adidas out on Hollis Ave
That FOI, Marcus Garvey, Nikki Tesla
I shock like a eel
Electric feel
Jay Electra

They call me Jay Electronica
Fuck that.
Call me Jay ElecHannukah
Jay ElecYarmulke
Jay ElecRamadaan Muhammad Asalaamica RasoulAllah Supana Watallah through your monitor.
My uzi still weighs a ton check the barometer
I'm hotter than the muthafuckin sun check the thermometer.
I'm bringing ancient mathematics back to modern man.
My momma told me never throw a stone and hide your hand.
I got a lot of family, you got a lot of fans.
That's why the people got my back like the Verizon man.
I play the back and fade to black and then devise a plan.
Out in London, smoking, vibin while I ride the tram.
Givin’ out that raw food to lions disguised as lambs,
And, by the time they get they seats hot,
And deploy all they henchmen to come at me from the treetops,
I’m chillin out at Tweetstock,
Building by the millions,
My light is brilliant.

  1. The man is cold, true, and Black. He did what the so-called "greats" (Lil Wayne) cant do, and that is mix real with intelligence to tell a story and make it all rhyme all at the same time. Give me the name of so-called real rappers today that can spit something without mentioning a car, a woman, a chain (in a stunting aspect), a key, or a body. What Kat Williams say? "I'll Wait." Tone

  2. Wu Tang already did it, and countless other underground acts all while the masses were paying attention to the wackness... He is married to Erykah Badu and signed with Jay-Z, that is not meshing with what he supposedly stands for... so how and why do you hand this MAN the crown?
