  1. that’s proper, fab.

  2. bullshit

  3. whats Haiti gotta do with droppin a mixtape though? sounds like a reach 2 me.

    not even anticipating the shit anymore. gtfo Fab

  4. Jay Electronica and Just Blaze, you GOT THE NAS VERSE NOW.

    SO DROP ACT 2 FOR GOD SAKE, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO EDIT HIS VOCALS IN.

  5. Were not hatin, just drop the damn EP. stay in the Studio UNTIL ITS DONE.

  6. “whats Haiti gotta do with droppin a mixtape though? sounds like a reach 2 me.”

    it’s basically about the title. he doesn’t want to talk about funerals, etc in light of the situation there.

  7. Haiti earthquake
    Fabolous mixtape

    Can someone explain what one has to do with the other?

  8. drop. that. motherfucking. act. II.

  9. @yaowa

    Guarantee you’re still gonna download it.

  10. “it’s basically about the title. he doesn’t want to talk about funerals, etc in light of the situation there.”

    Oh, well, that makes more sense. Still, kinda unrelated…

  11. Jay’s stuttering is priceless

  12. CHANGE THE DAMN TITLE FAB !!!!
    CHIPPED TOOTHED BITCH !

  13. why the fuck this bitch sounds mad? damn she can’t close her mouth

  14. how motherfucking long could it take to put somebodies mofuckin vocals on a fucking song, it cant be that fuckin hard

  15. I call BS as an excuse for Fab not dropping because of the title in accordance to the tragedy, because I in no way relate Fab with Haiti…

    Act II will be more than worth the wait though, I wouldn’t mind waiting a few months for it actually because I think it will be that good.

  16. Never gave a fuck about the Fab shit…

    As for Jay Elect… Just Blaze: “For whatever reason, it MAY have been mentioned that we’re gonna try to have it out around Christmas” What the hell, man? You said it, and what’s with the “For whatever reason” stuff? Just drop the act, guys, talk about it when it’s ready… *NO PUN INTENDED&

    These niggas love cuttin each other off too.

  17. @Dad mad cause he know he will get sonned. Boss up #sucka, that #cockeyedhooligan aint gon say nothin ta Faboloso if you seen him, now fall back stupie! Haahhaha

  18. ^ ul wait a few months knowing its just a nas acapella that has to be added on n mixed which could take a few hours

  19. Co-Sign Kariba, that bitch was annoying.

  20. Nice to see Jay aint in it for the money

  21. Okay…Jay Elect is good but he’s not worth unleashing fire and brimstone on every post until the tape is released. These artists are giving out this music for free. An album, maybe be upset. A free mixtape? Chill and listen to Enemy of the State or No Ceilings again (Pick you poison).

    All this is like yelling at the lady in the store to hurry up and bring some more free samples.

  22. hop off Fab dick !

  23. wow, Jay was being a bitch.. i like him less now

  24. wow, Jay was being a bitch.. i like him less now
    ……….
    faggot.

  25. ^ ul wait a few months knowing its just a nas acapella that has to be added on n mixed which could take a few hours

    ———–
    cosign.
    smh.

  26. It pisses people off that it hasnt dropped yet but i dont think people will hate onhim now, or atleast I wont..and jay needs to learn to not interupt someone when there interviewing them

  27. My excitement for Act II has officially died. Whenever it drops, it drops. Hell if it arrives two years from now so be it.

  28. lol@all u little biatches crying overa FREE MIXTAPE..ur lucky its free ..WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME U BOUGHT AN ALBUM???

  29. Jay’s stuttering is priceless
    NIGGA NEED SOME MANNERS HAHA HE OK THOUGH
    @kidadonis SO TRUE

  30. wtf does the situation in Haiti have to do with a mixtape?

  31. It sounds like these niggas done practiced that shit cause i heard the same exact answers on another radio interview. and lets clear the air, im not crying, but just drop the tape or stop building up hype. and if you have the nas vocals, why cant you give us a date now?

  32. If you haven’t noticed that Jay doesn’t follow schedules, and could give aw shucks about anyones expectations. It won’t be when you want it to be, and it won’t be too late. The dude may end up marginalizing himself some, but he’s also got the good sense not to play businessman when all of his wins are based on being an artist.

  33. fabo, go away. no one wants to hear you rap about bitches and cars and money and jewlery. maybe jay elect/just blaze are purposely stretching out the delay to build anticipation? if so, its sure as shit workin

  34. blaming your mixtape delay on haiti = extremely sad.

    it has already been delayed numerous times, no need for excuses.

  35. electronica does it for the music not the money fuck numbers lil wayne sells a million cds but that dont mean he can rap worth shit jay elect got a real deep message in his music that lady was real annoying to me all bitches care about is money and sales jay electronica is the truth cant wait for act 2

  36. people need to think about the last time they heard some new jay electronica before exhibit c, it’s not like this dude is wayne or gucci droppin mixtapes all the time, he’s an enigma in the rap game. i’ll keep bumpin exhibit c until act 2 drops.

  37. jay’s career is dead if act 2 doesn’t live up to the hype. i’m still anticipating though.

  38. Jay Electronica believes in Quality > Quantity.

    He’s smart. He’s not going to over saturate the market with his music. Why? Because he’ll keep a buzz if he drops shit every now and then.

    Smart move.

  39. And I thought the reason TINC2 wasn’t coming out is because DJ Drama is busy with all these different projects?…

  40. whats this i hear about eminem being on act 2?

  41. fuck Jay Electronica.. till Act II comes out.. nuff said

  42. @Ev

    CO-SIGN.

  43. yeah where the hell did the eminem act 2 rumor come from?

  44. Lol @ using Haiti as an excuse..he was supposed to drop that shit back in December before the earthquake even hit

  45. Fuck y’all for being greedy little bitches. Jay Electronica is the truth. He’s living his life and creates music as a product of it. It’s real shit. Y’all bitching about free material. Go snuff the end of a gun. Your ears ain’t worthy.

    Quality > quantity

    Too much bullshit floating around and y’all is really bitching instead of waiting patiently?

    If Jay never released another verse again you should be glad for what you got.

    And, if you’re LISTENING Just Blaze never said the x-mas date was set in stone. He said that’s when they’re shooting for but it’s not a fact. Stop being emotional tyrants and grow a set.

  46. How can someone rap that incredible but talk like the Boxer from Harlem Nights????? That was painful to listen to. I will stick to JUST the music from now on lol

  47. Lol @ ppl saying its FREE MUSIC.. all music is free these days, i can find any cd being sold in a electronics store/section online in less than a minute

  48. gtfoh at Fab saying he’s not releasing it bc of Haiti. I’m gonna tell my girl tonight, “no babe, no sex tonight bc of haiti.” like i care about his mixtape, but be truthful

    “i ain’t ever the fans one lie, one time” – Jay Jenkins

  49. “jay’s career is dead if act 2 doesn’t live up to the hype. i’m still anticipating though.”

    It will live up to the hype, the expectations for act 2 are sky high but to actually say that his career will be over is pretty fucking stupid if you ask me

  50. You niggas are stuck on stupid pertaining to Jay Electronica! This nigga was willingly homeless for years so how in the fuck can you crazed fnatics of Jay Electronica expect him to have any work ethic! The negro is the worst procrastinator in hip hop history and all these excuses for a damn miztape that was suppose to be released in 2007 is WHACK! Jay Electronica is 34 years old time is not on his side! If a mixtape takes him damn near 3 years…how long will his initial LP take 7 years! At his rate…he will be 45 when he releases his first LP! This negro is LAZY!

  51. Hip hop fans are such turn coats. Now Jay Electronica is the GREATEST EVER. GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE! Jay E is FAD for 2010 just like Drake was for 2009! Fortunately for Drake he will have a career because the TI’s will make sure of that!

  52. @JayElectrotherapy: Internet hype does not qualify as a career! Just Blaze’s production on Exhibit C gave this dude some life so let’s see how long that will last? In 2011 we will see if JE’s hype is still on overdrive!

  53. it’s FREE music. stop bitching. exhibit C is probably the greatest rap song that i’ve heard in over a decade. take your time fellas.

  54. as far as fab, TiNC2 should be fucking fire. he goes stupid hard on the mixtapes.

  55. Fab need 2 stop wit da BS’ing n drop dat TiNC 2 already goddamit!

  56. “@JayElectrotherapy: Internet hype does not qualify as a career! Just Blaze’s production on Exhibit C gave this dude some life so let’s see how long that will last? In 2011 we will see if JE’s hype is still on overdrive!”

    Who said that? I sure as shit didn’t, if you notice i quoted the guy that said Jay’s _career_ is over if act 2 doesn’t live up to the hype, i said it’s gonna take alot more than that to end that “career” of his or w/e you wanna call it.

  57. Internet hip-hop fans are pretty turncoast but that’s because they’re mostly idiots with egotistical problems. Drake isn’t even done with yet. He’s just beginning to take the game by storm. Kid’s dope.

    But jay elec is da bomb.

  58. i dont get u people.. the dude is giving u free music.. stop bitcing about it and wait

  59. At everyone with the “its free music” thing, shut the fuck up. Thats been so played out and you sound like a huge doucher, don’t say that you arent mad that this hasnt dropped either. Okay its free music, but we are angry and want the mixtape.

    Also, why would Jay care about money, Erykah Badu has to be loaded.

  60. There never should have been a date given.

    End of story.

    Free or not. Make us pay for it like Exhibit C.

    Donate the proceeds to Haiti.

    They’re not in a hurry to release it, so I ain’t in a hurry to listen to it when(which I doubt it will) it comes out.

    I also will no longer be giving free advertising to other hip hop heads about these dudes.

  61. “We are angry and we want the mixtape!”

    Ah, gee golly! You’re so right. Everything is about we want and what the consumer wants. What are you four? Go listen to something else. Get a life. If you’re that deprived of music you should reconsider your priorities.

  62. Jay i will gladly wait patiently for u to drop whatever it is ur releasing…thank u for staying true…..& i know the interviewer is just doing her job and asking Qs that ppl want to hear but she came off like she hasnt heard his music…..(peep act 1 u beezy!!), & she was a lil preachy

  63. Lol u guys are pathetic, Jay hasnt even released his lp and u think cause he got some great production on one track he’s the G.O.A.T? G.T.F.O as far as i know the dudes garbage, and to the nerd that said fab raps about money,cars,and jewlery, wake the the fuck up faggot..

  64. Well said Neodamatrix
