It’s late at night and I’m having trouble sleeping, as I’m wont to do nights before I have to hop on an airplane. So I just decided to take a rip of Jay Electronica performing this cut in New York a few months back, for those who want a taste of how this song will fully sound like.

Bought Exhibit C and A but fuck singles…I want the whole sha-bang-a-bang, I want a CD. Masterpieces take a long time, I know this. It’ll probably drop the same day as Detox.

You can’t hate on his marketing strategy, the man has people fiendin’ for his shit, hittin’ up search engines like crazy.
Props for this Mek! I ripped the Googley Eyes joint since that one was quite clear too. Enjoy folks!

I was just coming to say that. Will his next mixtape/ep/album/whatever have the most comments in the history of this site?

This song is amazing. Listening to JE is similar to a spiritual experience. Its more than exterior, it really makes you feel a way inside. Soul, Mind, Heart, whatever.
” Have you ever ever ever been depressed so bad/ it was struggle everyday not to regret your past?”
WIsh I didnt relate so well to that line.

Cosign Ryuk, Jay Elec is just one of those people that you can just tell has an anointed presence.
DocCosmos said this on December 19th, 2009 at 7:43 am
I bet money the cdq of this joint doesn’t drop til february.

Been waiting for the video since September. Drop it already Jay.
Cesc said this on December 19th, 2009 at 7:59 am
Jay Elect really is something special… Like other dude said, he’s more like a spiritual MC and he really keeps to himself and isn’t all over the place on other peoples joints like everyone else. For everyone mad about him not dropping music every damn week, well shit, it takes a long time to make masterpieces. His style is unique, he’s a dope producer, and he’s qualified to inherit Nas’ throne. Besides, I would wait months for a new joint simply because I know it would be worth it.

Someone over on the OKP forums took the version of this song from the trailer and combined with part of a live version and it is amazing.
TheGrand said this on December 19th, 2009 at 8:51 am
drop the cdq already Just Blaze
ck47 said this on December 19th, 2009 at 9:04 am
@TheGrand and you couldn’t link it because…?
InfamousP said this on December 19th, 2009 at 9:21 am
easyy, “Bitches & Drugs”, “Drug Dealing” (he’s on the spanish speaking tip haha), “Dimethyltriptamine”, “My World (Nas Salute)”, “Victory Is In My Clutches”. His production skills, in my opinion, are just as amazing as his rhymes. Like Madlib, he likes to sample films for his beats.
dcruz.88 said this on December 19th, 2009 at 9:21 am
@Ryuk and his co-signer
Lmao you guys are corny talkin bout he touches u spiritually, calm down…there are alot of mcs out there more skilled than him esp. When it comes to flow/delivery…Elec is just nice with the lyrics

I don’t think I’ve hated & loved an artist this much lol

@ the ghost, music touches people, man. Don’t tell me you haven’t danced to “Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones in your room with a mop at some point in your life. I think what they were trying to say is that Jay has that other-worldly, philisophical, machine gun rhyme type feel that hasn’t been done before, and if not, in a long time. He’s sorta like the Bob Dylan of Hip-Hop, excluded by everyone else by choice. So, in light of your comment, give me a list. Give me a list of MC’s from right now that have that feeling that Jay has.
dcruz.88 said this on December 19th, 2009 at 10:17 am
dcruz, i’m definitely feeling his rhymes.. but i’m not so sure about his production yet.. :/

Jay has a really good mic presence. Even if every line isn’t an amazing punchline or some shit, he knows how to say shit to make you feel what he’s sayin…
DynamicShots said this on December 19th, 2009 at 11:12 am
All this spiritual touchment talk by dcruz only goes for Exhibit A & C, the rest of his tracks are just great. But those two, refer to what he (dcruz) said.

again with the spiritual touchment… smh. haha shit is hilarious.
dcruz.88 said this on December 19th, 2009 at 11:19 am
Taking time to make music & living life > releasing weak material weekly
Exhibit A, C, and Dear Moleskin shit on most music released in the past several years.

Jay Elect spitting on Just Blaze beats is a HUGE fuckin problem. Fuck Saigon, Just need to team up with Jay E for a full album.

I ripped the audio from the videotrailer to ‘Dear Moleskin” and added some really crisp live audio (other than posted above) I found, which resulted in a complete ‘Dear Moleskin’ track. I have been bumping this track non-stop for a while, I hope you’ll enjoy it too: http://www.zshare.net/audio/702294621c6f586e/
Lyrics:
have you ever ever ever been depressed so bad
it was a struggle every day not to regret your past
feeling cursed like you never ever get your swag
and you be speeding down the highway when your threshold pass
when you cried all your tears out
and one page of your diary can tell you what your year bout
thats a lonely place
my mama said son why such a lonely face
because the pressures (depression) on me
plus i feel like bill murray trapped in Punxsutawney
dr phil told me that i can sell crack or hit the army
look at where we live at
tell me you dont hear that
tell me you dont feel that
show me to the way out
tell me when pastor raphael gon’ reveal that
if not man im outta here
im just a sleep walking robot thats outta gear
i stick my nose out the water to the sky for air
lama sabachthani (translates to ‘why have you forsaken me’)
trying to see light but the devil trying to blind me
the grim reaper walking with a shovel right behind me
trying to introduce me to the untimely unkindly
walk the line finely like johnny cash
but i keep getting visits from the ghost of the past
so i spark another l then i go to the pad….

This isn’t the full version though… that’s what this nigga does! He teases all of us. I guarantee you with the buzz behind this song in itself, it will at least be 3-4 minutes long.
