Jay Electronica - Exhibit C

Rappers, take notes. The end.

The production sounds a little drowned out and the intro was way too long, not feelin this one.

Sorry.. but this production is fire. Reminds me of the production that he did on the Kanye and Nas track. Solid flow, and a shoutout to Angela Yee/Lord Sear from SHADE 45. Hot.

HOT BEAT!!!!

"Use to call Southern Rappers Lame While They Stole Our Slang"!!! Classic

@The 149th - How is this garbage?? That production work is top-notch, and the intro was fitting.

Jay definitely impressed me with this. The overall song was really well done.

I will agree The 149th that the intro is pretty long, but with a track like this you have to let it breathe a bit. Definitely some extraordinary mic work from Jay, and this is one of Blaze's most soulful beats in recent memory. It's basically impossible to f**k with this.

How is this not hot? Obviously one of the best songs of the year, and probably the only radio rip I've seen paid so much attention to from bloggers.

I was about to defend the production, but this is garbage for Just Blaze. I've heard much better from him. Just not feelin this. Jay Electronica was pretty good tho.

What the fcuk is a Jay-Electronica???

Man who spits, "They call me Jay Electronica/@*#$! that! Call me Jay Elec Hannukah/Jay Elec yamulka/Jay Elect Ramadan Muhammad asalamulaka Rasoullah la subhana wa ta Allah through your monitor...", in a rap verse to make the real life Israeli/Palestinian conflict seem like a petty fight over legos.

If simple, yet elaborate cultural/religious references can co-exist as easily and beautiful as this, then I'm sure that peace in that region can. Oh yeah, more power to you @The 149th.

Intro is what Just Blaze gives you almost a minute, giving you time to settle in cos once Jay ElectHannukah started spitting, you can't jump off until the end but you'll be glad you took the ride.

When I was sleeping on the train,
Sleeping 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 NY n!ggas was calling southern rappers lame,
But then jackin' our slang,
I used to get dizzy spells, 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 sh!ttin out chains,
I ain,t believe it then, n!gga I was homeless,
Fightin, shootin dice, smoking weed on the corners
Tryna' find the meaning of life in a corona,
Till the 5%ers rolled up on a n!gga and informed him.

"You either build or destroy, where you come from?"
"The Magnolia projects in the 3rd ward slum"
"Hmm, its quite amazing that you rhyme how you do
And how you shine like you grew up in a shrine in Peru."

Question 14 Muslim lesson 2: Dip diver, civilize a 85er
I make the devil hit his knees and say the our father
Abracadabra! You rockin' with the true and living
Shout out to Light Out, Joseph I, Chewy Bivens,
Shout out to Baltimore, Baton Rouge, my crew in Richmond
While y'all debated who's the truth like Jews and Christians
I was in Cecil B, Broad St, Master, North Philly, South Philly, 23rd, Tasker
6 Mile, 7 Mile, Hartwell, Gratiot
Where n!ggas really would pack a U-haul truck up
Put the high beams on
Drive up on the curb at a barbeque and hop out the back like "whats up"
"Kill a n!gga, rob a n!gga, take a n!gga, buss up"
That's why when you talk that 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,
I don't feel ya.

Nas hit me up on the phone said "what you waitin' on"
TIP hit me up on a twitt said "what you waitin on"
Diddy send a text every hour on the dot sayin' "when you gon' drop that verse n!gga you takin long"
So now I'm back spittin that He could pass a polygraph,
That Rev Run rockin Addidas out on Hollis Ave
That FOI, Marcus Garvey, Nikki Tesla
I shock you like a eel, electric feel, Jay Electra.

They call me Jay Electronica
@*#$! that, call me Jay ElecHannukah
Jay ElecYarmulke
Jay ElecTramadaan Muhammad Asalaamica RasoulAllah Supana Watallah through your monitor,
My Uzi still weigh a ton, check the barometer
I'm hotter then the mothafcukin 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.

If you like this check out Exhibit A... Think its even better but this is still straight...

I don't get the hype and I don't like this Mohammad, Allah blabla rubbish talk.

The intro and the production are the highlight of this track. Let the beat build b!tch...o ya, jay is pretty dope too!

Not the best blaze beat, but Jay and rolled on the beat.

Jay Electronica... look at for this dude man... for the true hip hop heads you know hes real, hes gon blow for real...

he's a lyricist... he does work with the mic in his hand

plus he's married to ms. badu... one gifted couple

this song is very overrated IMO

heavy mental

this is dope but not the end all to be all

The world needs more Just Blaze

Production is insane & Jay's flow & lyrics were tight. I would of loved to of heard a verse or two from Nas over this beat.

love the billy stewart sample. Straight fire!

You can't hate on this, its original, Just Blaze made this, he did good, the lyrics were hot. Fire...

Idk how you could not like this track...a lil too rugged for some

I'm going to see him at The Fillmore on the 28th and I know the place is going to get crazy when he drops this. "Givin' out that raw food to Lions disguised as Lambs" His talent in overly apparent over this Blaze beat. And even if it's not his best work the beat in no way hinders the message.

This is beat is insane! Jay really impressed me with some nice wordplay. Him and Just Blaze make a nice pair in rap.

I like this better than exhibit a. REAL RAPP!

This song is pretty fly... Can't deny it. But the intro was kinda lame.

This beat has been pretty popular lately and it's no surprise. Jay absolutely brought Just Blaze's production to justice with the sick wordplay and rhymes.

Hahaha.. Erykah Badu only hooks up with the best rappers in hip-hop (Hello, Common & Andre 3 Stacks).

Anyways, 4.5/5

Classic. Hands down. WOW.
