watch spike lees when the levees broke: a requiem in four parts then listen to this, exhibit a and c in that specific order, and then you'll have an even deeper understanding of those three songs
This is not a gangsts street tale fool, its about good spirited black people being abused and/or exploited by the american system. Talking about hurricane Katrina and how they where fucked over and becoming fustrated with police mistreatment
Haunting and powerful! That Willy Wonka sample is my favorite part in the movie and I couldn't think of a better way to fuse it with a song. Can't wait for the album :) bring it, Jay! It's needed!
That intro always scares me. The poem and the way that it is recited. It's something special, deep, mysterious. I don't know. It's from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the original one, I think 1971.
@blactrs2 I completely agree. He doesn't need some 360 degree contract to control his music. He's gotta take that self-promoted route like Immortal Technique and it seems he's gonna stick to doing it himself for now. He's something important for hip hop.
@Drhughjanis Psalms 82:6 according to "King David" says.."Ye are all gods (little g) sons of the Most High" & Christ repeats this in the Gospels & they try to stone him. So if we are brothers in Christ as the Word also says well..You speak on Christ yet you dont believe him & by doing that you are sharing will the world that you have no power. I believe when "King David" or whom ever that may have really been & Yashua when they say I am a god, he cant be the son & me a Brother & I not be a god.
@ArbyWanKenobi lol just heard higher........i mean it wasn't terrible!! it wasn't his best though. jayz hasn't been on his shit in forever so you can't really expect him to come hard too often.
I respect your opinion but honestly jay elec raps about shit no one can get. And when we do it's mad late. I don't hear any fantasy in his rhymes, just harsh reality we need to wake up to and realize real quick in order to survive and eventually flourish like we should have been long ago.
i swear, pac biggie and big l is dead. nas fell off andisnt making muchanymore, and i dont blame him. jay is our last hope for hip hop cause now a days there isnt much talent.
@malboro1979 ITs the lie of us being gods to deny christ. Any course of biology and history will give you enough reason to deny christ. Why not send everyone to university then? Jay has a messiah complex, but at the same time its more complex than that. He understands we have all the power as humans to be fully conscious and aware of our condition. He believes this makes us all Gods in a way. P.S The probability that there is a god(deity of sorts) is slim.
Wtf why is all his music so dope like wtf where they do that at
this song makes me cry
Jay Elect....Lupe Fiasco....Nas....Mos Def.....Speaking the truth on the world, and its sufferings.

Jay Electronica never disappoints
I love how he tells real gangsta street life tales and ends it with "tell me what Elija said bout how we came from space again..."
Elijah. .as in Elijah Muhammad
Or Elijah the prophet considering he was taken to heaven in a “chariot” or UFO
This is not a gangsts street tale fool, its about good spirited black people being abused and/or exploited by the american system. Talking about hurricane Katrina and how they where fucked over and becoming fustrated with police mistreatment
@@kazzykaioken8873 that’s how I know 90% of hiphop fans don’t even know what they are listening to
