Real talk bro. To be honest I think I discovered him through exhibit c a bit over a year ago. And song by song I am slowly understanding how complex his rhymes are for real. I still don't know shit but slowly realizing this nigga is in the conversation for best rapper of all time. I wish more people appreciated this shit but at the same time it's hiphops best kept secret. But be sure when this fool drops that fuckin album it will be straight up fire. All these wack ass rappers these days should get out a pen and pad and take notes.
@@younggucci5197 I think he's alluding to how's school's don't teach you life skills , but will teach you some shit you won't need. The jackals being an allegory for schools molding your brain / person a certain way.

If you're seeing and hearing things that aren't there while you're awake, you're mad. If you're asleep, you're normal and having a dream. So it's the question of whether you're awake or asleep that makes the difference; and in this case, since he wasn't allowed to sleep, it's as though his normal dreaming pattern began to show itself
@@cheddarboyzz313 its called A Million in the Morning, a dude deprived himself of sleep for days to raise awareness for homelessness if I recall correctly. EDIT: the homeless thing was wrong, it was a movie watching competition hahaha
oh BEARS fun fact. A Million in the Morning is one of the original Netflix specials. It’s not on the streaming service anymore but I think you can actually rent the dvd from them through the mail. They need to just put it back on Netflix to stream
Dude is dope but Hip Hop/Rap is polluted with trash rappers. Dude will be a diamond in the dirt. A lot of ignorant people will overlook him or say he's some rapper who caters to nerds.
Wow the first positive comment I have received. You should be awarded with a high honor like the nobel prize, or better yet the Patents of Nobility album.
Had been hearing about this guy for years and recently watched his documentary about his life and decided to check him out and my god this dude was so ill I mean he was a cold piece of work...his mixtape has been on repeat all night
Now I like EVERY Jay Electronica song just about. Only song I don't really like is Annakin's Prayer out of ALL his music. That is something that I can't say about ANY artist besides Tupac, and he definitely isn't coming out with anymore music. Please drop the album Jay, whatever you do, Just PLEASE drop the damn album.
jay electronica woulda been a huge success at the time. look at how kendrick lamar got huge, jay would have been even bigger than kendrick if he just dropped one album
he probably watch alot of movies well whats more than probably without being exact cause alot of rappers watch alot of movies Kanye, Cudi, Pharrell, i watch alot of movies and i rap (15 and working on my first mixtape might not come out till im 17 i have a speech impediment theyre not horrible i just want to become great and thats holding me back any way) I watch alot of movies and i find the dopest shit to sample like 500 Days Of Summer dope movie to sample tons of quotables same as Juice
all my melinated people should understand this song. im loosing my mind,ice on my nut sack trying to freeze time,jay electronica is deep. peace and prosperity to all
For example, today i have listened to Jedi Mind Tricks (Vinnie Paz), Mos Def, Big L, Earl Sweat, Aesop Rock, P.O.S., Astronautilis, Common Market (RA Scion), Immortal Technique, Ab Soul, Jay Z and Jay E. I wouldn't even think of comparing one of these to another.
A documentary called A Million In the Morning. It's about a group of people trying to break a guiness record and watch 57 movies in a row without sleep. The film crew tried to stay up with the contestants and they all starting hallucinating
Subject matter kiddo, we don't mention that name around here. Different branch of hip hop. Ether you don't understand the areas Jay E has addressed in his work or you are overly entertained by Em's flow and rhythm, (which i will admit, it doesn't get better. ) Either way, when ever hip hop heads see people comparing rappers who don't relate we immediately dismiss them as being ill informed, dull witted, band wagoner, experienced or just ignorant.
its not from a song, its a clip from the documentary ''million in the morning'' which this song is inspired by, its about a guy who went 5 days without sleeping
I don't like the term "conscious" rapper....its a throw off...you can't listen to music "unconsciously" ...believe me the brain is taking it all in....
but what i like about jay elec is that he makes you think. he makes you use your brain, unlike all these new rappers. i guess thats what they mean when they say "concious rapper"
Phantom Opera There are still conscious and unconscious rappers whether you like the term or not. It makes sense that some rappers are more conscious then others.
Phantom Opera it has nothing to do with the listener. The mc him or herself is considered conscious, because of the information they choose to speak on. The conscious rapper won't rap about twerking, michael kors, or anything materialistic. When Jay Elec refers to Sirius, Dogons, Rumsfeld etc..., he's referring to the hidden truths.
@Jesus Lopez Lol I was just thinking of this very comment a few weeks ago while watch another Jay video. I couldn't remember what I said and I couldn't remember which video it was I commented on. Now I know, thanks fate, for intervening. Now I can sleep.

I don't think most people are capable of understanding the brilliance that is Jay Electronica.

Yep! Pretty much!
Yes! The masses need the man known as Jay Electronica. Lyrical magician, bro.
He mentions the Late Richard Simmons here. But Richard died 2 months ago and 2 yrs ago
theres literally nobody better than Jay Electronica, no singer, rapper,songwriter, lightyears ahead of the rest!!!
Jay electronica has the best intro samples.
" Teacher held me down while the jackals ate my brain out " Jay Elec may be the GOAT....
what are jackals?
May?

@@dglover326 I know what a jackal is bro. 😂😂😂 it's a reason that was one of Loki's forms. I think you meant to @ the first comment

Damn his music is unique
yooooooooo!!!!!! Jay Electronica is the one!
Annakin's Prayer will grow on you, listen to it a couple times it has become one of my favorite tracks of his.
Jays lyrics are hard... Please god don't let him get too commercial as he goes mainstream.
Hiphop needs you!
like I always say, I believe that our grandchildren have a much better chance at hearing the album then we do ourselves.
Hey grandad
This Dude!!! I understand!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Jay Electrnica the man who would be King of hip-hop .
he has the a good body of work and samples from movies and lyrics are over par
The original video to this song, was trippy.
True
Jay man JAY Electricity "PBS mysteries"
Dude is dope but Hip Hop/Rap is polluted with trash rappers. Dude will be a diamond in the dirt. A lot of ignorant people will overlook him or say he's some rapper who caters to nerds.
Natsu Satsujinki I feel you but I can't help but realize the irony in what you said because all diamonds come from the dirt in actuality lol
Anakin's Prayer becomes soooo good
This is some real Hip Hop & I hope it stays that way!! Jay Elec is the truth.
Wow the first positive comment I have received. You should be awarded with a high honor like the nobel prize, or better yet the Patents of Nobility album.
he reminds me of killah priest
cliff lamay combination of killah priest and nas
cliff lamay And Guru
Rakim
This song is so dope! Should of been songs like this on the album.
that beat at the end is Wax Tailor - How I Feel
Love this dude
he said its near done that was this summer whats crazy is alot of established artist talk about him like a legend right now, i cant wait
I still trip out on this song
THE MOST LYRICAL!!! ALL THAT NEEDS 2 BE SAID
Jay speaks TRUTH.
THIS GUY IS ON SOME OTHER LEVEL LYRICALLY
Had been hearing about this guy for years and recently watched his documentary about his life and decided to check him out and my god this dude was so ill I mean he was a cold piece of work...his mixtape has been on repeat all night
What did he say about Richard Simmons? When did Richard Die the 1st and 2nd and 3rd time?
Now I like EVERY Jay Electronica song just about. Only song I don't really like is Annakin's Prayer out of ALL his music. That is something that I can't say about ANY artist besides Tupac, and he definitely isn't coming out with anymore music. Please drop the album Jay, whatever you do, Just PLEASE drop the damn album.
Lol Pac will drop an album before Jay electronica does thats a fact young man
We weren't ready and still many aren't! If you think these are just words, you're crazy!
Jay Electronica is like the History teacher that became a rapper. lol
Martin Martinez lmao
The only thing Cole is superb at is curing insomnia.
i love that beat at the end of this song
@GEasy5 No, he was talking about watching a lot of BET. It was sort of like that quote, but not actually said.
Hell nah jay z an j electronica dont got that unibrow
jay electronica woulda been a huge success at the time. look at how kendrick lamar got huge, jay would have been even bigger than kendrick if he just dropped one album
Dope shit
@Cesar71413 The beat at 4:00 Is "Wax Tailor - How I feel"
that loop at the end though!!
he probably watch alot of movies well whats more than probably without being exact cause alot of rappers watch alot of movies Kanye, Cudi, Pharrell, i watch alot of movies and i rap (15 and working on my first mixtape might not come out till im 17 i have a speech impediment theyre not horrible i just want to become great and thats holding me back any way) I watch alot of movies and i find the dopest shit to sample like 500 Days Of Summer dope movie to sample tons of quotables same as Juice
If Jay Elect , Killah Priest , and Professor Griff sat at the same table , no body would understand what the fuck they were talking about lol
He turned it over to Roc Nation, so I'm not too sure that he has a lot of control over that. Which absolutely 100% blows, because he is damn talented
all my melinated people should understand this song. im loosing my mind,ice on my nut sack trying to freeze time,jay electronica is deep. peace and prosperity to all
The roc from the diamond sign froze all the critics....
Jay-z is one of the greatest.. You cant judge him on his new shit..
Simply amazing
The only thing I can really say about Jay E....his shoes are art work....
Ya know...a artist can use a brush to paint a picture...You step your game up when you use your life as the canvas....
you're crazy in this day and age the only one really fucking with Jay E lyrically is Lupe
are they really understanding this man is the better question?
listen to this high...
Joonya Osemwegie I Kno u tripped the fuck out especially at the end
i swear dis nigga is a breath of fresh air!!!
My mind exploded.
Plain truth go jay
For example, today i have listened to Jedi Mind Tricks (Vinnie Paz), Mos Def, Big L, Earl Sweat, Aesop Rock, P.O.S., Astronautilis, Common Market (RA Scion), Immortal Technique, Ab Soul, Jay Z and Jay E. I wouldn't even think of comparing one of these to another.

*Russian Sleep Experiment
THANK YOU, FUCKIN T H A N K Y O U! LOL. Couldn't have said it better myself.
anyone know the beat at the end??sample??
Why does the future have to be so old?
they dont know about that Magnoila TRU MC New Orleans...
Jay elec is the future
when is the album coming out ? or is jay z hating ?
lol
this sounds like a trip report
If you like Jay Electronica, listen to Killah Priest. He has a track with the GZA off the BENEATH THE SURFACE album.
Nigga was never on Freshman XXL cause he Came in the game a VET
didnt huey say that beginning quote from an episode on boondocks... the episode riley was here.... and where is that beginning quote from

that was dope dude
yes he does
(Wax Tailor- How I Fee) is the song at the end
A true Jay Electron-er answer. Peace, i must return to my orderly orbit.
@GEasy5 I'm not sure if one was based on the other, but it might be.
its not from a song, its a clip from the documentary ''million in the morning'' which this song is inspired by, its about a guy who went 5 days without sleeping
The past is the future.
FOGLE MCLOVIN and the future is the past
It's from the documentary "A Million in the Morning" itself.
@spike blake great analog!
reminds me of mf doom on this track for some reason

this nigga musta been on some salvia when he thought of this song haha, had a bad trip too
i got goosebumps and tearyeyed listening to this shit...fuck!
all he got now is candy bars
@Jesus Lopez Lol I was just thinking of this very comment a few weeks ago while watch another Jay video. I couldn't remember what I said and I couldn't remember which video it was I commented on. Now I know, thanks fate, for intervening. Now I can sleep.
you trippin if you cant see the similarities between jay electronica and mf doom. you're in denial if you say they're not similar.
Not only to be awakened but to stay awake. I like how he hid his album in light rays, that originate eight light minutes away in outer space.
what??
Jesus Lopez lmao
You tweaking
Good one.
@blackspic1 thanks
that would be the dopest collab tho..
Jay Electronica and MF Doom should trade verses on a song it would crazy.
@SwagQuest the future has no age
amazing
If Your Seeing And Hearing Things That Aren't There You're Mad!
no mind me, sir just reflecting on something i saw while, meditating =)
imagine when electronica's decoded book comes out, it's gonna be banned in the states
that's it. Jay electronica is fucking God. its the only explanation
I like em !!!
@GEasy5 Yeah bro. I knew I remember I heard that shit from somewhere. Thanks!
hell yes
where tf did this come from?
"people are awfully simple minded"
Agreed
if you like this lookup MURS "deepest blue"
nas "gave you power"
kendrick "growing aprt
"joey badass " word is bond"
