  1. rappers love building a mythology around their craft. exhibit A in 20 minutes, The Blueprint in a weekend. Every one pretending like they don’t write their lyrics.

    Eh.

  2. genius

  3. i doubt that it took him 20mins to write something that complex. on a side note i guess Fab’s tape isnt dropping today?

  4. Can we get a CDQ of Exhibit B with Mos Def

  5. He already had it written most likely, just 20 minutes to record I guess lol.

  6. cosign Olughbam. 2pac’s (Makaveli) “7 Day Theory” was 7 days,

  7. i doubt that it took him 20mins to write something that complex. on a side note i guess Fab’s tape isnt dropping today?

  8. wa? exhibit a was put on ea sports fight night????

  9. t….t…..t…..t…..t……t…. TODAY JUNIOR

  10. 20 mDuder

    There is no Exhibit B, there’s Exhibit A, the remix, and C. No Exhibit B, Mos shit a brick explaining that one. I doubt this was created in 20 minutes, but there are a lot of people that stand by Hov recording all the vocals for Blueprint in one weekend.

  11. that was supposed to be @Duder

  12. Jay Electronica said that it took 15 minutes to write in that 50 minute long interview.

    Also, he said that Exhibit B does exist, according to him it’s on a “Harddrive somewhere” but is a completely new song. The one with mos Def is the Exhibit A remix and the reason Exhibit C came before B was because it got aired on the radio and hit the hype-fan.

  13. if you have a brain you can drop a gem in 20 minutes y not? its not like he cured cancer

  14. okay coke. write something, anything, exhibit A worthy in 20 minutes.

    get your favorite rapper to do so.

    i mean just getting the syllables right would take longer than that

  15. why do u guys doubt that these artists do amazing things. So ur saying that JayZ writes his ryhmes? he def doesnt, Ur saying its impossible for Jay Elec to make a fire song in 20 min? no its not impossible

  16. i’m not saying it’s impossible, just that i doubt it.

  17. if he could make music that quickly, we’d have Act II by now

  18. he didnt make it in 20 mintues you know how long it takes just blaze to make a beat in 2 days or so just blaze works hard

  19. “20 minutes!? I don’t believe it haha.”

    I wouldn’t either. Jay Elec said the same thing about Exhibit C when over 50 people saw them make it live and that took at least 2 hours that we know of. I think his memory is just off, but he needs to be careful with what he says, people take these statements seriously, especially on the internet, lol.

  20. it is true, i saw the ustream session of this song. THe beat and the lyrics were done in about 30 mins. Swear on my left nut.

  21. Don’t get me wrong though, Jay is extremely talented, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he did do an amazing record like that in such a short time span.

  22. “if he could make music that quickly, we’d have Act II by now”

    /truth

  23. yeah i saw the ustream session too. 30 MINUTES TOPS!!! So.. yeah its not implausible that elec laid it down in 20 dumb ass unbelieving ass nigas need to calm down.

  24. Agree with Gweb…where the music at?

  25. Yea right! It takes damn near 20 minutes just to chop up the samples in the MPC4000 which is what Jus Blaze uses.

  26. Hey dumbass, even though Jay-Z doesn’t write his rhymes, he still rehearses over and over until he has them down, he does not spit all of his shit straight off the top of his head. With that said, I think that Jay Electronica probably made this track in a short amount of time if he knew what he wanted to say in advance.

  27. I’m sure magic occurs in the studio when it all just comes together quickly. For example, Jay Electronica to date has two obvious magic moments – Exhibit A and Exhibit C. The rest of the time is going through the artistic process trying to make the magic.
