Jay speaks on his now infamous “The Ghost Of Christopher Wallace” cut to the house that Viacom destroyed:
That record came from Twitter. I was on Twitter asking for beats through iChat. Quincy Tones [who produced 'Wallace'] sent the beat. I was sitting on that one line: ‘The game ain’t been the same since B.I.G. died/ And Wu swarmed on New York from out that beehive.’ I had been sitting on that for two weeks. I didn’t do nothing with it. Then I took a swim on it. I called Puff like, ‘I’mma do this.’ He said, ‘Come to the studio right now. I need to get on that.’ It was a crazy night. A lot of energy.”

Smh drop a song fool and make a ghost of pimp c track your from the south !
Really, wtf is the point of this. Drop Act II already. If it’s not Act II who gives a fuck about your interviews right now.
Infamous?
Fuck that. This nigga is weak. Hes NOT THAT NICE> Stop amping This nigga up. I see through his phony shit.
J done droped off… He had a huge wave but that shit crashed some time ago…There was a time if J droped an album or even ep every month i woulda went out and supported him, but that time came and went, Ill still download tho
^^^^ this is the main problem wit hip-hop and music in general. yall niggas are so impatient and are so quick to dismiss an artist jus cuz they aint put out any music in a while. The beauty of music is that if an artist isnt puttin out any music then listen to someone else in the meantime. I havent listen to Jay Electronica in like 6 months but im still a fan, i jus listen to other stuff until he drops somethin.
and fuck a “buzz” it can be another year before Jay drops anything. as long as its dope itll get attention. same goes wit J Cole. it took Clipse forever to drop Hell Hath No Fury but when it did it was fire!
impatient? This nigga does 50 fucking interviews about the SAME thign with NOTHING to talk aboutlike anyone wants to see that.
Nigga if you’ve been recording so goddamn much where is the music? your baby mom’s released TWO albums in the time since you came on the scene. This fool Jay isn’t about it man.
As for commercial buzz? yeah thats long gone. This dude has no drive though, on top of being criminally overrated.
Act II & Detox are gonna drop on the same day, lol. I’ll agree though whatever buzz Jay Elect had is all but gone b/c he didn’t strike while the iron was hot.
If he really fell off, y’all wouldn’t be talking about him right now. So simmer down.
lol i love these non paying complainers …your not fans. fuk outta here
im a fan and i would pay for some Jay but im also tired of hearing about all this extra bullshit. Get in the studio man.
I’ll be excited for anything he puts out but it’s been about 5 years since we started hearing about him, for chrissakes! All we got is a bunch of random songs that he’d already done years ago & maybe like 5 actual new songs over this 5 year “buzz” period. That’s kinda ridiculous but I still wanna hear whatever he got, whenever he wants to put it out! I’m still waitin’ on D’Angelo, too (LOL), but at least he had 2 classic albums in the can before his self-imposed exile.
Diddy absolutely ruined that track. It’s unlistenable for me.
why does jay give so much up to Puff Daddy? sacrifice? baphumet. respect yourself jay. you obviously dont need no puff daddy. your fans dont respect puff daddy
Hes doing a type of thing were he is dictating the music to his fans so they crave more not letting his fans dictate the amount of music he relases. Which is stupid as shit to do soo damn early in his career. He has a such a low number of songs out. there was a time where i couldnt stop hearing his damn name and that Exhibit C was the best song of the century (gtfo) and hes the savior of hip hop. Its been 6 months the nigga aint do shit but realse 1 more song and now he has more interviews than songs
LOL, how did he fall off if he aint never drop nothin!…
i admit it tho that jays annoyin wit the lack of material… like atleast drop a fuckin song once a month n you good… drop a fuckin tape (album or mixtape or whatever) once a year n ya good… do somethin… cuz at this rate, im convinced you either gotta have either no material or the worst work ethic…
If the music is good the music is good. The Victory Mixtape and ‘What the f*ck is a Jay Electronica’ have a good number of songs between them both.
Also I think a lot of you guys are missing the point. It is less likely he is taking long because he is being lazy. It’s because he is a perfectionist. If your doing pop art you can pop out 1000 prints in a month. If your trying to create baroque masterpieces its going to take longer.
I am an artist myself and I have had people want to buy my unfinished work because they like it and can’t see forward to my ultimate intention, but if it aint finished… it aint finished. simple.
@the last guy…
That’s all good & everything but just know that everybody still ain’t gonna like it all. It’s just a shame if u really do put all this time in to an album or whatever & it’s perfect to yourself & everyone u care about but u expect it to sell & reach the “masses,” which just isn’t gonna happen into today’s music industry climate. An artist like Jay Electronica can reach a relatively iconic & respected status in hip-hop but he ain’t gonna be like “the hot new rap dude” no matter what he does. Unfortunately, I think Kanye was the last kind of semi “real hip-hop” artist that we’ll see on a really mainstream level. I don’t know that that is what Jay’s goin’ for but I just hate to see someone like that set themselves up for failure & then we never hear any music from ‘em again.
@Y’all aint paid nothin anyway
exactly people that aren’t artist dont understand or don’t care
its all wanyes fault releasing a million songs every damn week now hip hop fans expect that from every artist like thats the standard and the normal, people are never satisfied
majority of all them damn songs wayne released where sub par to shitty because it takes time to create good quality music
It really does take time to release new GOOD music. greatness takes patience, and this absolutely goes for Detox (*sign unfortunately*) Act II, and 24-Hour Karate School also.
This was how it was done back in the day, where a dude would drop a lil somethin’ somethin’ every now and then and relax or hit the studio. not this weezy bullshit where you drop somethin every month/week/even a year!
a fan is a fan regardless, fuck what yah thought. homie can drop anytime i’ll be patiently but anxiously waiting.
Yes Sir!
in the meantime do yourself a favor an download MOE GREEN_ ROCKY MAIVIA
j elect keeps hip hop exciting..my favorite rite now
