What Is Jay Electronica Doing? | The Joe Budden Podcast

[@andersoncolemon7958]

Jay Electronica came at EM and EM didnt say shit .

[@CoolTableGhost]

Jay electronica still one of the best, but he refused to be a part of the system.... he's mad comfortable​ with being a mystery but still being himself....

[@barca29np]

Marley Hendrix exactly. that's the beauty of his music in a way. he doesn't do what others want him to do he does himself. he doesn't make crap for the radio, he drops when things matter.

[@knowledgeseeker1528]

Nas PB He don’t drop shit

[@hwonitojv9503]

K9 Blues I think you're just upset jay isnt satisfying your musical needs.

[@jacobamoako9674]

Excuses, and more excuses, than He should shut tha Fuck Up and stop calling other rappers, like Cole Kendrick who already got mad albums by now ! Your superhero is afraid to drop nee songs beacause hes not going to top Exhibit C ! They hyped him so Much, He isnt all what we thought

[@flikkie72]

He's obviously getting some ancient mathematics somewhere to bring back to the modern man.

[@PassportGods]

Most definitely

[@FrancoisDressler]

Jay Z made a rare appearance to a small event in New Orleans just for Jay Elect, very recently. Showed him mad love. Jay Z has given Jay Electronica free reigns.

[@en5001]

Joe don't want it with jay elec he might become exhibit D

[@mikemaldonado9960]

preach

[@bigchase1439]

You sound stupid jay had a good run but jos been consistant for years

[@NeoAndersonChannel1]

Joe = Exhibit Dickhead

[@MeSureBack]

ayo pause

[@Coal-RubL]

E N THATS WHY HE JUST DROPPED RIGHT

[@JordanClemons]

this is where I stray from these cats. Yall keep bringing up Exhibit C, like Jay Elec aint got Dear Moleskine, Shiny Suit Theory, Ghost of Christopher Wallace....verses on various other artists projects.... smfh. Turn the Adrenaline down and turn your logic levels up

[@glasspole1]

Jordan Clemons jazzmatazz, so what you sayin, exhibit a, the pledge, road to perdition

[@laurencebellinger3350]

need i say more... damn holiday, a prayer for mike vick and t.i., my world... plenty more

[@YKing-zr3di]

Jordan Clemons Better In Tune with the Infinite.

[@frontportch1]

Eternal Sunshine verse is literally one of the best verses in rap history.

[@jarodmoodley7925]

Jordan Clemons Where's the *ALBUM* tho ? ? ? ?

[@ToroidalVortexLove]

I pray Jay Electronica records a diss track to Joe Budden. Budden would come out of retirement for that and it would all be good for the culture...

[@YellowSynth]

He will wash joe Budden

[@ToroidalVortexLove]

Yellow Synth Jay Electronica's a better rapper (yes Joe, he is) but Joe is probably a better battler. I've only heard one battle rap by Jay Elect and I wasn't that impressed.

[@poodymac63]

You must never heard Jay in battle mode. He would murder Budden easily.

[@mquirozz]

Relax both would drop disses so fire but in reality the majority of heads wouldn't understand a line....

[@toddmaek5436]

ToroidalVortexLove word cause joe allllllllready bodied drake.

[@ToroidalVortexLove]

Yes, Jay Electronica's as nice as we thought he was. He can't do an Exhibit C every time, nobody can. But he always spits fire.

[@nfiniti257]

All i gotta say is Eternal Sunshine... this new joint is OK.

[@wlaswill]

RO Nfinit! You're literally the only person to mention that song. Amazing.

[@macmega2789]

The new joint is a little better than okay. Maybe you should go back and listen. Eternal sunshine was good but didn't age as well as I think this one will.

[@RastaHenkie]

Why does everyone act like Jay did not put out any Mixtapes? He put out Victory with the Exhibit songs on them and What the F*ck is a Jay Electronica. Those 2 mixtapes almost have 50 songs combined.

[@realitycheck1092]

Rasta Henkie that wasn't an official mixtape. Shut up if you don't know what you're talking about. God bless.

[@sEdJ1281]

Reality Check act one (eternal sunshine) as well. Having an "official" tag has nothing to do with how much music he has put out and the quality of said tracks. Shut up if you don't know what you're talking about. God bless.

[@abrasiveangel]

Rasta Henkie Neega plizz, we talking songs he put out since signing with Roc Nation.

[@andpro376]

Rasta Henkie I wrote it all

[@6luntmaster]

jay elect was dope. He definitely still has people awaiting the first album.

[@jefferybrooks2299]

2nd …..look up act 2 on here

[@Mikeyvellii]

Jay Electronica has the potential to be the goat. That Letter to Falon song is years old. He posted a track-list years ago and that song was on it. Exhibit C was great but he also dropped the Ghost Of Christopher Wallace.

[@SamsClub427]

He's with the Rothschild chick...one of the 13 families of course. Strange rapper, even stranger guy

[@jebustavera8132]

Bro I always thought that. Theres some thing there

[@kegadolll]

Jay Elec is on a level that Joe will never know or understand which is frustrating when he goes in on him. Jay Elec doesn't have to conform to what 99% of rappers do or are expected to do; he's doing whatever he wants, taking his time, and when he does put out records, they're beyond fucking dope and doing different things. I don't even think Exhibit C is NEARLY his best work, it's the most popular, but people need to get in on Better in Tune with the Infinite, Exhibit A, We Made It, or Dear Moleskine.

[@verbalassassinator3756]

That new jay elec is dope tho. Fuck the roll out & all that other shit

[@goldinbrown79]

"I'm sailing on a cloud, they trailing below..."

[@cpb8191]

Y'all are corny, Jay saw KD at all star weekend. They are both on Roc Nation. Jay Z probably had the idea himself.

[@BigtimeSCARFACE]

electronica was cool but that control hype is dead. Jay's chance to blow up is over, so he's better behind the scenes now.

[@YellowSynth]

I think he's an activist/ traveller I don't think music is his focus

[@essaalmalki119]

When it's time yall gonna be talking differently. Remember these words actually take a photo of it

[@BigtimeSCARFACE]

Essa Almalki take it for me and make a poster out of it. much appreciated

[@Chilltown95]

He never had any control hype he was beyond an afterthought on that record

[@samuelkim5457]

My best proposed guess of the date of the album would be this July 2nd because July 2nd 2017 would be 10 years after his first mixtape project LOL new album confirmed. It's lit 🔥🔥🔥

[@realitycheck1092]

Samuel Kim what mixtape project?

[@samuelkim5457]

Reality Check his first and only project lol

[@knee-colayo-kitc104]

Feb 31 19997

[@michaeledwards1552]

We're from the future nope no album yet

[@akidnamededdy9746]

michael edwards still no album

[@CapzNotU]

We all wanna know yo!!! Jay is different man!! Still one of the dopest pen in hiphop

[@MrCbwTV]

Or did he have a "moment" like Cappadona.

[@hdmotivated5126]

if i take 5 three pointers in my whole career in the nba and make 4 of them , my percetage is 80% percent .. does that make me the best 3pt shooter ever?

[@CapzNotU]

hd motivated cmon man lol technically yeah but... he applaud the attempts as well fam

[@Philly-mv3jb]

If u do A song a year, it better be hot, fuck, u had a year to create it

[@andpro376]

Capz MC he is me

[@brucepatrick9442]

nah 3 months ago kevin durant was at a party with hov and jay electronica, its on film

[@frankystrings]

BRUCE PATRICK gossip is gossip no matter where it occurs dummy

[@Sorcery1991]

Facts they was in New Orleans

[@nevelefilms7336]

Has anyone even considered that Jigga signed Elec only to keep him quiet? Remember that rumor that SC was riding around in his car with the finished album and loving it? 🤔🤔 Elec probably just on the payroll, chillin like a villain and doing eclectic things that only he can do...at least we got DMT though 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@YellowSynth]

Jay is my favourite rapper of all time

[@rickeyjtv1802]

jayz or jay elect?????

[@YellowSynth]

Jay Electronica jay is in my top 5 too

[@Brandon-yd3rk]

Yellow Synth how can u base him as a favorite when he has like 5 songs? Yeah hes talented but theres people out here pushing a thousand songs o the same quality with no feedback.

[@YellowSynth]

I have all his song they are about 34 songs. Don't ask me how I got these songs but I got them. I am a fan of what he raps about, I get it most people love Kendrick because of beats and flows, I just feel what Jay Electronica is rapping about more because he's music isn't selfish and self centred, he raps about people getting enlightened and know their true self outside of money and fame. To me he's the only rapper that is actually rapping today. Kendrick to ms just raps about what he thinks people want to hear, he's more of please people rapper with different Cartoon Network voices.

[@NutRacer22]

Maybe just maybe you could make that argument for DAMN, but certainly not for TPAB

[@TeezyfolKKz]

He has the entire Victory tape though..

[@moltisanti745]

A single Jay Elec verse shits on your whole discography Joe

[@ejaganjac7085]

Moltisanti 😂😂

[@TheSquad4life]

Moltisanti fake news

[@reggp1]

Moltisanti 😒 sure

[@redlionesv]

Moltisanti lies

[@GameTime-ii1ek]

😂😂😂 foh

[@primesonforever]

Dimethyltryptamine is amazing . but i cant choose that over exhibit c , exhibit a , etc

[@Mass_Throwbacks]

"The Veterans be pissed when we pay mind to they selections and the newbies get gassed every time they Jay-Elect 'em" ....one of Joeys hardest verses ever

[@hebrew26commandmentspower55]

Jay Electronica whole style is literally modeled by Killah Priest .... Killah Priest is G.O A.T. ..

[@Makwood99]

Dawg thank you for mentioning Killah priest, my 6th favorite rapper ever, never thought about it like that

[@andpro376]

Realnigga Turner they put a lot of different names on it but it was all me. AP

[@BLewTheKake]

the new track is DOPE! but we know what he's doing... that rothschild girl

[@swampthing94]

Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge) alone puts Jay Electronica above 99% of rappers. It might be the best piece of rap music ever released

[@andpro376]

swampthing94 Thanks cause I wrote that shit. He is Me

[@maniacmike1027]

It's amazing to me how he been around for 10 years and released 0 albums. Jay Elect has released 5-6 songs in his 10 year career. That's sus to me like why no albums for him?

[@biller97]

mikeymike nah jay elec got at least 30 songs

[@XTig3rTeeth]

Billy94 he still has a mixtape god dam do ur research

[@WavyVaporizers]

mikeymike thats what they do to rappers who are awake and spit consciousness. they only let people who rap about drugs women cars jewelry more less all the evils materialism and war anything to promote destruction of youth and the world anything conscious isn't allowed in the mainstream

[@yahsun4699]

Wavy Vaporizers what about Lupe ? Kendrick ? Cole? Even if you talking quote on quote underground rappers there are plenty of ppl with independent albums so that's what they getting at. I was a fan of him too but I don't know what impact he'd have if he dropped at this point. Unless he morphed into Jesus or done shit lol

[@luo.7516]

mikeymike *7

[@abrasiveangel]

Roc Nation signed him NOT to release an album because he would've been dropped for nondelivery of product a long time ago.

[@LowLeyeF311]

Jay has dozens of fire classic bangers

[@christianstanch392]

Joe must have forgotten how Jay washed Royce on Prhyme.

[@jaywu_chakra9919]

Christian Stanch I don't recall him washing Royce on that song, but Royce was a savage beast on the whole dam album.

[@treasure674]

Yeah, no. Royce was not washed on that track, you buffoon.

[@hebrew26commandmentspower55]

Ab Soul washed Royce and Mac Miller ( rip ) on " Dat sound good "

[@mighty9100]

Jay Electronica was quoted saying “one song at a time, focus on one song at a time.”

[@MrVIP1993]

I remember when Kendrick said he will kill Jay Elect's career before it even starts, and Jay Elect acted like he didn't hear it lol

[@JAY1BLAZE]

Very good question.

[@djdramademiks6823]

Jay electronica don’t need to put out a billion shitty records that everyone will forget 6 months later what he has out rn is good and ppl still fw it

[@michaeljamespitt8728]

he coulda made it big time but do you really think the big time would have been good for him?? some of his songs were so unique, on a level i think it's good he didn't go tooo mainstream, as i think his music would have changed too

[@GoodxJ]

If you don't think Jay Electronica is one the greatest emcees of all time you need to go and start listening to his verses. Stop Sleeping....

[@49dwalin55]

'Is Jay elec as nice as we thought he was?' This was the video where I was like 'naaah Joe Buddens a little funny'

[@nelsonbetancourt9306]

Jay was afraid of not being able to drop a classic and figured he'd be elusive and let Exhibit A & Exhibit C speak for him and carry his name.

[@kierancarey3840]

Exhibit C was one of the best rap songs I heard as a kid

[@volnaramone2321]

More I Tune with the Infinite was Phenomenal. The Whole Victory mixtape was fire and Prayer for Michael Vick and TI Swagger Jackson's Revenge. I don't know what you heard Joe and I know all that is old but it's still fire.

[@jason1602]

Almost 3 years later and we may be getting a Jay Elec album lol

[@EdertheJust]

Jay put out more than enough to prove that he is a great lyricist.

[@camerongomez978]

the control (verse)...we made it feat. jayz...shiny suit theory feat.jayz...reflections eternal w/ most def and jcole...exhibit A...ghost of Christopher Wallace... people r crazy if they think k he's not nice he needs to put out more

[@sinematic06]

Cameron Gomez and might eye add, Swagger Jackson’s Revenge, Jazzmatazz, Better In Tune With The Infinite, Googly Eyes, Dear Moleskin, Exhibit A Remix or Exhibit B (depending on who you ask) with Mos Def. Dude has way too many songs that are even more amazing than Exhibit C. It’s just Exhibit C was such a dope banger produced by Just Blaze, it made everybody flock to him. But he’s definitely got tracks just as good lyrically, while the production may not be more palatable it’s definitely lyrically advanced.

[@busara45thevillain22]

these dudes are desperate for something to discuss. joe has become a hip hop troll.

[@ComboTrial]

He could say Jay all he wanted, but the truth is Exhibit C better than Joe's whole career.. Sorry

[@illexpreshun]

"he told him when he was drafted!" 😂😂😂

[@wflowchillin]

Yall should have Joe record his own drops for "is this a case" lmao. seriously bros, he has the voice for it and he can do his own custom ones

[@kennytylerlong]

jay elec has done the impossible. Hes put out the fewest work of any artist and has the title of the best. Hes basically his own god

[@BuckDat]

Thought I was the only one that remembered that Benzino thing. It was like some weird conspiracy anti-Eminem/Interscope press kit hosted by Jay Elec. Very odd.

[@showintell]

hes a man first, artist 2nd

[@knowledgeseeker1528]

ShowNtelligence *Was an artist

[@JerNo415]

Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge) sleeeeeeeeeeep

[@imademydreamscometrue545]

Considering Jay electronica got Hov on his album. I think he got the text

[@BushidoHoodlum]

Is Jay Elec as nice as we thought? YES NIGGA CUT IT OUT.

[@hebrew26commandmentspower55]

BushidoHoodlum one word ... Dimethyltryptamine 😎😃

[@thirdEYEsix]

Hes a 1.5 hit wonder. Got enough buzz to get initiated. Now hes good.

[@NCsPride704]

Jay Elec is Papoose 2.0

[@jayburrows1369]

NCsPride704 how?

[@NCsPride704]

Jay Burrows in the sense that, he created all this buzz and momentum and failed to capitialize/put an album out

[@guccidonbuzzflightyear4440]

Jay elec is way better than Jay Elec

[@rehtuluv]

No way.

[@jman1562001]

Papoose actually had some shit...it's just the expectations were too unreal (niccas really were claiming he was the next Jay-Z!!!) As far as Jay Elect, he knows the dope verses and songs that he puts out keeps the mystique going

[@dwillwilliams1240]

Jay E finna diss joe 😂😂

[@kegadolll]

Jay Elec can say and do whatever the fuck he wants with NO rapper ever responding because they don't want to fuck with the FOI. They know what's up.

[@teezamdk]

5:55 is too funny

[@SosaDiBiase187]

When it's time it's time.

[@josephallen9088]

this episode is fuckin funny af

[@juschill1]

Mal is iLL with the repeat adlibs. Yo stay repeating what cats said.

[@shaneheffernan8236]

Otis Thelonius

[@andpro376]

Otis Thelonius he is me

[@takemasterx]

get the bag joe, i say GET THE BAG

[@anubeingphilosophy9957]

So it is corny what jay electronically did , but grown men sitting around a room gossiping like females about what other people doing is not corny

[@JohnnySensei7]

Anubeing Philosophy it's a podcast nigga. It's not gossip. They talk about hip hop.

[@frankystrings]

Donte Looney gossip is gossip no no matter where it occurs dummy

[@BOBByBISHIP]

Jay Elec. Can't drop yet.. K. West is to wide in that Lane,. He's waiting for West to slide over a little.

[@howtoheal8003]

Jay Elec is arguably the GOAT

[@Kaustic410]

How To Heal your arguably the GOAT of REACHIN

[@kingofpop2961]

How To Heal he used to be but kendrick dethroned him

[@GoodxJ]

I say he IS!!!!

[@kid100music3]

From a skill standpoint he is the best rapper I have ever heard....

[@MrStaano]

Better than nas or krs or rakim or BDK or KGR or Biggie.........?????????? Dont be silly.

[@twinls9539]

Jays Control verse was in the same plain as exhibit c verses. I think thats it tho

[@NdosiMagaye]

Joe wants Nooooooooooooooo smoke with Jay Electronica!

[@uriahsmith1573]

JAY ELEC IS THE BEST RAPPER. thats it bruh

[@roknkawk]

Here after A Written Testimony. 😭😭😭😭

[@SuperSavageSpirit]

joe must have not heard Jay Elec on "How Great" with Chance

[@GeronFletcher]

Jay electronica and KD are cool

[@e-8715]

Jay Electronica has a few tapes actually

[@bwallstreet5294]

what Is the Chappelle ja rule drop from???? where is jaaaaa

[@JoseLopez-vp8vu]

BUZZY O. one of Dave's stand up specials

[@PayneKrunk]

[@bwallstreet5294]

Found it. It's just as funny as I thought

[@cnsmooth]

watch the whole show

[@BakMei1003]

Dave's special called For What Its Worth

[@chrishaslamisgod]

Joe dont want no smoke with the god body jay electronica.

[@kingartison]

I find that to be a good question what is he doing ?

[@killahnan]

Joe you pride yourself on being objective , ask yourself how many jay elec songs have you honestly listened to ? Jay Elec has over 30 songs and a full mixtape..Exhibit C may be his magnum opus however he has many great songs, eternal sunshine, abaracadabra, dimethyltriptamine (in my opinion his greatest song), Annakins prayer, swager jacksons revenge, voodoo man, because he broke the rules, i mean i can keep going, exhibit A and B were flames too...i know you love being contrarian just for entertainment value, i cant let you get away with this blasphemy tho lol

[@Allwaysexcel]

they really said Jay doesn't even have a mixtape out. ignorance at its finest.

[@barnabastgs]

Jay Elec has a mixtape.

[@hebrew26commandmentspower55]

Dimethyltryptamine = Jay Electronica's best song .... trust me I smoked some ....... and I saw some amazing shit ... O_o ...I walked thru different dimensions and shit

[@yunggpacino]

The ghost of Christopher Wallace is Electronica's best work

[@DmaneDaDemon]

Jay Elec is competing with Kendrick Lamar...trying to roll out the same way K.Dot did the release of Untitled Unmastered. He couldn't use LeBron so he use KD. #ConspiracyTheoristJoe

[@alulim7]

Like saying Joe Budden only song is Pump it Up.

[@mrj5695]

million dollar question

[@ThaFinestMusic]

The "it's Hov" text comment didn't age well at ALL Joe lol

[@petepuma6483]

Jay Elec missed his opportunity, the lyrical vibe is gone hip hop is dumb down by this generation they will not appreciate it. Exhibit C is his only classic track.... so far fans will have live with that

[@YKing-zr3di]

Better in tune with the infinite.

[@LENOVOPRODUCER]

Ask Joe what does he thinks about Sean Price and that one time freestyle back and forth they had on a radio.... After that he could talk about Jay Electronica. LNP

[@insan3fighter612]

jay elect mystique has vanished hes just a bum now. getting that jay check

[@SUPREME114]

Substance wise he is levels over Joe B

[@seandafny]

Who knows

[@roknkawk]

He told him that when he was drafted 😭😭😭😭😭

[@chieefin]

I'm so annoyed by how they keep saying jay elec

[@Vintage27]

Get em Joe! lol

[@jerryquemada1993]

yoo but jay always cosigns Jay Elec so im callin chicago bull on that him not giving a fuc about his progress

[@chuck22taylor]

Who is that

[@macmega2789]

Joe budden has a basketball song.
