  1. ive listened to this song about 1000 times and understand about 3% of it…

    “the blank face villain, who split atoms and gave mushrooms to civiains”
    that line it too raw.

  2. Jay is the GOAT

  3. @ DayO

    I know, deep shit. We need more material from Jay.

  4. Jay showed real love to atl that night

  5. I want more new Jay Electronica

  6. How great can someone become if their shit just goes over ppl’s heads?

  7. (this coming from a Jay Elec fan since 2007)

  8. ^ How great do people consider ghostface? That “peppermint-chocolate icey kush slippers” shit was always over my head, but still ill.

    jay’s definitely on some other shit, but there’s a spiritual and conscious side that paired with his flow really set him apart. Can’t wait for a CDQ of ‘Dear Moleskine’.

  12. Response to DayO, “ive listened to this song about 1000 times and understand about 3% of it…’the blank face villain, who split atoms and gave mushrooms to civilians’”
    Only Jay really knows what it means but I will take a stab. A few bars earlier he speaks of “…Two Face and the Prince of Darkness head a committee of snakes.” Jay confessed being heavily influenced by many things including Saturday morning cartoons. A committee of snakes references me to Cobra of G.I. Joe. The Cobra Commander wore a blank steel plate over his face.

  13. im sorry, but why in the hell are you a jay elec fan if all his songs go over your head?

  14. @Go Hard

    It’s the appreciation of music and lyrics that makes you think and challenges you mentally and spiritually, instead of the same braindead garbage out right now. And you can appreciate an artist who actually puts some real thought into putting his words and lyrics together.

    But if you want real shit that goes way over your head, Aesop Rock is where it’s at.

  15. It was cool as hell that after his set he came into the crowd while Mos was performing! Dope performer!

  16. @ Cinq.
    see, had no idea haha.

  17. I think this is just a dream of his. Dimethytryptamine is one of the chemicals that the brain produces while dreaming. I suspect it also has to do with the muslim religion and some of their beliefs.

  19. Yo, Shake, can I get a little credit? Thanks for the embed.

  20. “the blank face villain, who split atoms and gave mushrooms to civiains”
    THATS THE GOVERNMENT YO. ITS BEEN DOCUMENTED THAT IN THE 60′S THEY GAVE HALLUCINAGENS OUT ON TEST SUBJECTS. INCLUDING THE MILITARY.
    “I think this is just a dream of his. Dimethytryptamine is one of the chemicals that the brain produces while dreaming. I suspect it also has to do with the muslim religion and some of their beliefs.”

    DIMETHYLTRYPTAMINE IS FOUND IN OUR BODIES. SCIENTISTS CLASSIFY IT’S FUNCTION AS ‘UNDETERMINED’. IT CAN ALSO BE EXTRACTED FROM VARIOUS PLANTS AND INGESTED TO TRIP YOUR BALLS OFF. MANY PEOPLE CLAIM TO HAVE OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES AND ENCOUNTERS WITH ALIEN TYPE CREATURES WHILE ON THE DRUG. DIFFERENT CULTURES AND TRIBES HAVE USED IT DURING CERTAIN SPIRITUAL CEREMONIES. IT IS COMMONLY REFERED TO AS DMT.

  21. Yo dmt you got it all wrong bro, its not a drug reference hes refering to the atom bomb. Splitting atoms (plutonium molecules), and giving mushrooms (as in mushroom clouds) to civilians. The song isnt talking about drugs, its pretty much a dream sequence/ halucination, from being under the influence of dmt the dream chemical, it opens up his third eye so he can see past the veil that the government places on him. The whole song is pretty much referencing a shit load of different governmnental conspiracy. As in the line the two faced king from brittain and rome had a baby on the bush at the gracy knowl, hes talking about the pope and the prime minister of the UK, assasinating kennedy for being to liberal. Theres a lot of shit in there, just read between the lines.
