Jay Electronica Talks RZA (Video)

C’mon God! Bless us with some new music already. Not producing fruit is not Godbody! Just keep the diddy bopping on tracks to a minimum.

Jay recalls RZA calling southern rappers slow and questioning their intelligence and how he felt about that.

  3. Can I just suggest that Jay’s lack of productivity may be due to a lack of product? Everything I have heard from him is very dope, but he isn’t very prolific. Which leads me to believe that he just doesn’t have the material (or ability to create it) that people assume he does. But I don’t know, I hope he’s got more music in the shoot because I’m definitely a fan.

  5. Yeah, this has been covered.

    I think everyone knows what RZA was sayin and in all seriousness RZA had a point. Jay E, Outkast, and a small handful of MCs are exceptions to the typical sound, subject matter, intellect, and persona of run of the mill rapper from the South. If it doesn’t apply to you then it shouldn’t bother you.

  28. @Unxpekted Both J. Cole and Clipse are from the south even if there style is influenced from other places they are still southern rappers. And while the south turns out a lot of garbage rappers they are also responsible for some pretty dope shit. I’m starting to get annoyed with Jay Elect we get 2-3 interviews on here a week yet a song once every few months. His next project better be amazing

    DK said this on May 12th, 2010 at 10:24 pm

I kno NY fans yall the birth place of hip hop we give u props on that but no one there is poppin (sorry) hip hop started there but damn sho not gon end there. And if u wanna go deeper than that the most talked bout person from NY is a female rapper(nicki minaj) stop livin in the past and glory days name ppl who doin it now not ppl in the early 90′s. I hav much respect for NY but how long jay gon carry yall??

  46. And the flow has nothing to do w/ where you’re from.. I can see why some of y’all are generalizing that though.. When you hear the SOUTH you think of some snap crap commercialized music, which is utterly ashame.. But there are some great lyricists from all over. Just enjoy the music.

    LFTFL.com said this on May 13th, 2010 at 1:31 am

  55. Uhh what about Detroit? Right now Detroit is ruling hip hop in terms of quality shit, and commercially they have Eminem. One aspect you people overlook in this region shit the producers…I’m not saying the South hasn’t had some very good producers, but who’s the best to come from the South? I guess the Organized Noize team, but compare that with NY’s legendary producers that are still doing it. Fuck it, a lot of the legends of NY’s past are still making quality music, even if there aren’t as many up and comers as there used to be. And a lot of the best southern artists (Phonte, Jay Electronica, etc.) don’t have a typical southern style…shit is so artificial, how are you gonna put music in a box like that. Good music is good music, fuck where it’s from. New York will always be hip hop’s mecca, and every region should pay respect to its history…to disrespect NY is disrespecting hip hop. Without NY, no other area would have the opportunities they have now.

  56. And another thing on this whole debate..go to a show in NY, it’s different from any other city, I promise you that. Hip hop is just alive in the streets, its everywhere, its their lifestyle…no matter what the mainstream product is at that time, NY is always doing the most for the overall culture.

  59. J.Cole and clipse are not south. Virginia, new York, and fayateville are not south. I know because I have lived and have a friend living in all 3.

    Ps. Southern rap is hands down the worst musical genre EVER it’s the fuckin reason hip hop I’s dead.

    Uk/global hip hop > southern rap
    WEST > Southern rap
    New York > Southern rap
    Any other state, Detroit whatev > Southern rap

  63. Man you named like 10 artists thats ridiculous and its like the most commercial southern artists, I would put Dead Prez before any of those guys man. Your misunderstanding why southern “movement”, MOVEMENT killed it, not 10 artists who have had semi-success, plus they dont categorize in the movement that I am telling you killed it. if you cant see that, then your not educated. Go to google and type souther rap death of hip hop. Some believe its a circle and will turn around. For me I never listen to that garbage and never did. Matter fact those artists you named in my opinion are all garbage.

    ***Goes back to listening to Blue – Mars (dNp Remix)

    Unxpekted said this on May 13th, 2010 at 2:08 am

  64. Jay Electronica kills me with “Down South” sympathy talk. I like this dude on the mic but he’s a whining hypocrite because he talked about his struggles throughout his career to get listened to because he had a southern droll so he continuously changed his flow and pronunciations so get by in the industry.

    Umm if I’m not mistaken in his rhymes he complains again that New York cats talked shit about the south but jacking our slang.

    If he is so proud of his recent rapping success (even though he has been successful in other ways in the industry by producing etc.) and his lyrical ability (that he brags about) why is every pronunciation and flow sounds like a rapper from Queens New York then? He complains that the east was jacking the south’s slang then why would he jack the eastcoast slang (rhetorical)? He used it and is still using it to gain fans, shows, videos, interviews and everything else? Niggas kill me! Stop bitching about something that you are doing everyday to be successful ass an artist. There is no hint and or indication in his music that he is from New Orleans. A place where it is impossible to ignore the southern speech. So my question is; if you’re so into your roots and breath the “south” then why don’t you rap like it. Use your cultural influences in your music. Use it in any of the following; beats you choose to spit on, pronunciation, flow, choice of topic or current south slang words.

    That’s my only problem with Jay Electronica. Other than that i think he’s a hot MC. A real lyricist that has a blend of 90′s and new school.

    SHOWMAN3000 said this on May 13th, 2010 at 2:15 am

  65. O and lastly I live in VA, I’m from the NY/CT area but I lived down here for a long while back and forth. Pretty much the DC, MD, VA area and they don’t even consider their self south. VA is the only exception because one half of VA is metropolitan and the other is real country. If anything the DC/MD/VA aka DMV area is more something like Mid-East. i mean really Washington, DC is south? I mean really have some of you been to DC? The most popular clubs etc. are exactly like NYC. Now NC is very similar in that regard but it’s harder to call NC eastcoast to be real.

    This whole region is eastcoast as they come. Everything niggas do down here is eastcoast. There’s a little twang here and there with certain areas but for the most part they emulate the eastcoast vibe.

    SHOWMAN3000 said this on May 13th, 2010 at 2:27 am

  66. Exactly definitely eastcoast and very very very far from south. never heard any DMV nigga claim south. We more Chi-NY-CT bound.

    Unxpekted said this on May 13th, 2010 at 2:29 am

  67. I must say first and foremost that this guy UNXPEKTED is a total idiot… How the fuck you gonna say that NC and VA aint the south??? Are you serious??? Learn yourself before speaking. The man Jay Elec had a point, ALL RAPPERS FROM THE SOUTH AREN’T WACK! Don’t get me wrong there are alot of wack niggas that come from here (the south) but just because you’re from this area doesn’t mean you cant spit. Honestly, who is fucking with Andre 3000 lyrically……. EXACTLY! Electronica aint no slouch either! Face it, NY RAP IS OVER! Besides Jay-Z, Nas, Fab, Fat Joe, and Red Cafe (4/5 of them niggas is old) who ya’ll got??? Face it, there is no new talent coming out of NY!!! Hell it’s niggas coming out of Kansas and Pittsburgh of all places now and no one from NY. Check the magazines, check the blogs and see for yourself. Hip hop was born there and it died there.

    And by the way, who is rza to talk about southern dialect? Have ya’ll heard this man talk??? I can barely understand anything coming from his fish mouth. Kicking that old bullshit ass knowledge. Get the fuck outta here!!!! Don’t get mad because the south runs music right now. RIP NY HIP HOP.

    T.Corallo said this on May 13th, 2010 at 2:34 am

  68. @T.Corallo No disrespect but I could understand what your saying but don’t act like you don’t or haven’t listened to NY rap your whole life. And lastly it isn’t dead in NY what the radio wants to hear took a turn just like it turned for the west etc. The strength of eastcoast rappers in all regions (NYC and other states included that are eastcoast) is that few go for the traditional universal songs. They stay true to the cultural background they grew up on in hip-hop. Just like the south do in their music. You guys just have so many regions that some people are wak and others are super talented. It’s just such a huge coast it’s almost like their are too many!

    Very few ringtone rappers, very few r&b/rap cats, very few pop oriented rappers and that eastcoast everyday gritty, fast pace music is not what radio will play. It ruled the urban radio stations for decades but now the urban radio stations branched off to being more pop with a tab of the urban sound. Those kind of rappers are booed at shows and would never survive in NY because they despise hearing glamor with mediocre lyrics. It’s just the way eastcoast people are. However, eastcoast people support south music heavily because it plays in the club.

    Once upon a time urban music, street music and more played in the clubs just as much as r&b if not more. Now it doesn’t even fly anymore in the clubs. The gritty style of music is thee flaw of eastcoast MC’s popularity nowadays. That’s all. The problem is that eastcoast rappers don’t believe in changing or what they like to call “dumbing down” Believe me when the tides of rap music turn away from the south you’ll be complaining.

    SHOWMAN3000 said this on May 13th, 2010 at 2:56 am

  69. At SHOWMAN3000, I kinda feel where u coming from but exactly what “Queens” slang is Jay jacking???? What words do they use in “Queens” that they dont use anywhere else in the universe that Jay is supposedly jacking? And just because the man is from NO doesnt mean he has to rhyme over a Manny Fresh beat lol! J. cole/Little Brother are from NC but you don’t hear them rapping over any bangladesh or nitti beats. Bottom line, CUT THE PRE JUDGING OUT! Now I will admit that northern va (dmv) is more northern than southern so i’ll give you that. But VA beach and the whole Hampton Roads area is straight up southern! If you wanna get technical, VA, NC, SC, GA, and FL are all on the eastcoast of the united states lol! We’re talking about the SOUTH/NORTH not states belonging specifically to the eastcoast fam. So that whole “they’re more eastcoast than southern” jargon does’nt make any sense.

    T.Corallo said this on May 13th, 2010 at 2:58 am

  70. @SHOWMAN I definatley feel where you’re coming from. TRUST AND BELIEVE ME, I DO NOT SUPPORT WACK MUSIC! Whether it’s from the south or not. I hate Waka, Gucci, OJ, etc. Yes I was raised on up north music and i still prefer their music over any other region any day. I’m just upset at the people on here showcasing their ignorance in the comments. I just had to stick up for where im from (the south). Me and you can agree to disagree on this issue but idk about this UNXPEKTED character lol! But you do have very valid points fam.

  72. @T.Corallo

    O ok I see. Good perspective. Well we agree totally on this ->”TRUST AND BELIEVE ME, I DO NOT SUPPORT WACK MUSIC! Whether it’s from the south or not.”

    I believe in just good music period. I think there are a lot of wak south rappers messing up what should be the correct perception of south music for good south rappers. There are so many dope ones but so many bad ones that even it out. So a mad fan will say the south suck when in all reality there are people like Jeezy, Luda, T.I., Scarface, Bun B, 8Ball & MJG, Slim Thug, Rick Ross (like him or not), Lil’ Wayne (like him or not), Field Mob, OutKast and tons more.

  73. QUESTION. Is Intelect determined by accent or vocabulary in “hiphop”(as if this just relates to hiphop), because if you turn on your local news you will notice that whenever they interview a hoodster they all have that neglected aura, ignorance is a bliss no matter where your from, but I guess you can say we can all talk about shootin niggaz up but if I have a southern drawl then the nigga slow? So the I.T. Guy from the south is slower than the I.T. guy from New York? http://tinyurl.com/hollywooddivorce

  74. I think both Jay Elec and RZA got good points. I agree with Jay that it is ignorant to say that the south is slow. I mean there are rappers from the south like Andre 3000, Scarface, Phonte etc.

    Both RZA has a point in that the most ignorant and coonish music that reproduces false stereotypes about black men.

    LIL BOOSIE, BIRDMAN, GUCCI MANE, OJ DA JUICEMAN, LIL SCRAPPY, MASTER P, YOUNG JOC.

    So RZA definatly has a point. Although he mainly was of point. I love the south, but the south also has a lot of bullshit. Just what I feel.

  76. LOL the fuck brought this on? Jay really sounds bitchy bringing this up, especially since it was most likely 6 or 7 years ago. Did he think RZA was talking about 3 stacks, Scarface, Big Boi etc? Fuck outta here man.

    I love Jay Elec but this just seems like the most random shit ever. Drop Act 2 nig, New Years day u said that shit was droppin! LOL

  77. No matter how many times Jay E. speaks about this issue…over & over it’s good he said what he needed to say! two things I have to say why is NYC sounding South? was the M.I.M.S money that good?

    Ha,ha as a People we need to start thinking for ourselves literally.

    Stereo types are hard to over come in most cases!

  81. the south been runnin rap for 10 years now all you niggaz can hate but you’ll never be able to take us out the frame. WHY? because we built ourselves without any of your help how about that one? Northern va is east coast i used to live there but to say NC is not apart of the south you have to be a damn fool. have you ever been there? Im from texas the same state dj premier is from but i guess he can’t be a southern producer because he uses too many soul samples right? fuk outta here

  82. “Jay recalls RZA calling southern rappers slow and questioning their intelligence and how he felt about that.” yup I remember because RZA was right! proof: Wacka Flacka/Gucci/Ring-Tone Rap

    Death to Ringtone-Rap!….anxiously waiting…Jay Electronica long player.

  85. Their is so much wack shit out now its fucking up cats heads. dope music is dope muzik no matter where u from. The problem is that two many garbage mainstream rappers from the South are the ones getting radio/tv shine thus it makes the people who dont know crap about hip hop that niggas like waka flocka and gucci mane are the face of the entire genre. i LIVE IN fLORIDA SO i know what im saying

    Unxpekted said this on May 13th, 2010 at 1:44 pm

  88. @Unxpekted What you just said was completely irrelevant to the conversation the point is J. Cole is a southern rapper because he is from North Carolina which is the south. Done with this argument not going anywhere..

    DK said this on May 13th, 2010 at 2:02 pm

  89. I got fam in NC and they claim south. j cole has even repped the south in his music. clipse even said VA is southen, but they are influenced by stuff from ny. http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/archives/2010/05/pusha_t_present.php Check what pusha says in the 5th section..

  96. The South has legends and up and coming lyricists. Radio and mainstream media has made it a point to portray southern hip-hop as slow ignorant and ringtone music. There has been a concious effort to push Gucci, OJ, Boosie, Soulja [CLUB MUSIC] as the southern style of hip hop. Listen to Screwed Up Click, Geto Boys, UGK, Outkast, Scarface, Dead Prez, Little Brother, Devin The Dude, Trae and Z-Ro, Goodie Mob, Cee-Lo. That’s what Southern rap really is. Not three or four mainstream club artist from the south that has made it big. Even now record labels decline to give a push to young southern artists like J. Cole, Curren$y, B.O.B, Kyle Lucas, Hollywood Flo$$ etc.

    Southern Hip-Hop has had an inaccurate portrayal of its style for well over a decade. SMH

    Someone said NYC and VA was southern state thats fucking plain stupid.

    You obviously didnt even read it, SO SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH YOU DICK SUCKING FAGGET. Go fucking slit your throat for being an annoying ass idiot. Read next time before you comment.

    Nothin anything you guys said pertains to the debate on hand. That no matter what.

    West coast hip hop > southern rap
    East coast hip hop > southern rap
    UK/Outside US hip hop > southern rap
    progressive/electronic > southern rap

    Fucking losers man

    You name one friggin artist J. Cole big fucking deal, Nas, Jay-Z so I can name drop to what the fucks the big deal. Theres 2 million underground emcees from East and West coast that shits on these idiotic niggerish slavery sounding southern faggets. Uneducated pieces of shit deserve to be bombed and killed.

    T.Corallo said this on May 14th, 2010 at 1:25 pm

  105. The Roots are from Philly… Not New York… Secondly, people criticize the south for five or six wack artists and then run with the same stereotypes that the record labels and radio use to portray southern music… In the south we took time to listen to New York music and their underground artists… Unfortunately it seems that the Northern regions never took the time to listen to southern hip-hop… Not if you think gucci, waka, oj, or soulja boy define the south… that’s four artist….

    Listen to Stic Man, Cee-Lo, Outkast, Scarface, Goodie Mob, Devin the Dude, 8ball & MJG, Curren$y, J.Cole, Kyle Lucas, T.I., Ludacris, D.O.C., Screwed Up Click, UGK, Little Brother, Killer Mike, Phonte, Killa Kyleon, Z-Ro, Trae, Lil Wayne….. Then maybe you’ll understand southern hip-hop…. Not just the five artists you heard on the radio….
