Jay Electronica swept onto the hip-hop scene in a wave of enigma. The effect of his quirky, emotional sound was compounded by the erratic methods of its release, drifting out unannounced via the internet. The MySpace leak of “Act 1: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge),” a 15-minute opus laced with movie samples and beatless film soundtracks, represented the beginning of an astounding surge of interest in both the man and his music back in 2007.
Since then, the New Orleans-born MC and producer has garnered heavy support from everybody from Nas to Gilles Peterson, and has worked heavily with soulslinger Just Blaze, dropping two instant neo-backpack classics, “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit C.” He also partnered with New York-based “idea studio” Decon, working on his debut album as well as a video project with label founder Jason Goldwatch, and built more anticipation around his “Act II” track than the rest of hip-hop's class of ’10 combined.

Jay Is Super Intellectual. His Mind Moves Faster Than He Can Speak
Exactly lol
Stfu
I know the feeling
Thats what all the crackheads say too.
@@DeathTrapProductions haha. Are u saying jay is a crackhead?
I'm still amazed that he stutter when he talk, but when he's rapping it all goes away
I was just thinking the same thing.
It’s a lot of ppl like that out here
As an emcee, I also stutter. But I have to think my thoughts through and I say filler words often. But music has a certain rhythm and cadence that your memory gets comfortable with
his mind is thinking fast
You'd be surprised at the number of rappers that stutter alot when they talk .. I'd say about 1/2 of the most Lyrical. It's stunning!
Whose watching after Written Testimony dropped?
Me lol
Right here
🙋🏿♂️
What did you guys think about the album?
@@darkstar_619 FW WITH IT HEAVY !!
I use to live my life being nervous all the time but I heard somebody once say “You shouldn’t always assume that everyone is paying attention to you”...those words change the modus operandi in or of my life
Ostensible Logic truth
damn
Most of the time they are thinking about what they're going through in their OWN life... no point in worrying about the next man when we all have our struggles.
Such a profound statement !!!!
someone give this man a marble squaty-potty. put some Kroger on it too. Bless this man. sage wisdom.
Jay Electronica and Killah Priest two mc's that can take you on the journey through the cosmo's with their lyrics
DJ Apocalyptic Can you imagine if they collabed
🤯
I was thinking they should do an album
If they did an album together it would be an instant classic yo!!
DJ Apocalyptic God truth!!
You guys know he prefers to be called "Jay ElecHannukah
Jay ElecYarmulke Jay ElectRamadaan Muhammad Asalaamica RasoulAllah Subhanahu wa ta'ala", right?
his uzi still weighs a ton check his barometer, he’s hotter than the sun check a thermometer, jay is also bringing ancient mathematics back to mordern man and all his life his mom told him never throw a stone and hide your hand 😂😂
Smooth Operator He plays the back and fades to black, and then devises a plan.
Out in London smokin, vibin while he rides the trams..giving out that raw food to lions disguised as lambs
*bleat*
And by the time they get they seats hot, he deplores all his henchmen to come at them from the tree tops.
Jay Electronica's stutters are quite interesting rhythm-wise. He almost sounds like he has DJ Premier right on the tip of his tongue doing the skips and scratches.
😂 Very Hip Hop. But even funnier if you picture it
I've heard somewhere that people with stutters usually have a mind that works faster than they're able to speak or something like that. So they're essentially trying to get all these statements or ideas out at the same time because they have so much in their minds.
Damn its crazy to see how awkward and nervous he is when talking. But he transcends human form on that mic lol.
He's mad humble and genuine, I'd be a little nervous too I stay to myself.
Interviewer was not ready to be asked a question. Malcolm X said, "don't be in such a hurry to condemn a person because he doesn't do what you do, or think as you think. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today" God is a reflection of self. Respect to E...peace
Have anybody ever realized that many artist who have a speech impediment as Jay does are brilliant at their craft?! You would think that because of his stuttering he'd be not talented but , soon as he gets in that booth it's like FIYA !! It's insane how the brain works .
Idk if this is weird to say but I’ve been addicted to this interview for the last two weeks since I’ve found it. I find his spirit and humble nature so endearing. Hearing him on “Exhibit A” really made that a top 10 song of all time for me due to lyrics and composition but man, This man has really energetically aligned with me. Thanks for posting this :)
Damn Jays' analysis for Souilja Boy's Turn My Swag On as A Social Self-determinist Piece ( and he was right) That Ish Was ILL✊🏾💯🖐🏽
My favorite Part is the fact he understands that he doesn’t know and can admit it. Something I am tryin to learn now
Trace Daniels should have learned that in GRADE SCHOOL..
I had no idea Electronica spoke like this...He is that much more 🔥to me now!
Why does this make him more fire ?
@@realitycheck1092 Because I respect artists with speech impediments who make up for it with their lyrical oratory skills. It's like a super power.
@@brokenpsylens7938 facts
Oschino Vazquez as well
super intelligent individual, I really don’t need him to drop an album for me to figure out he really has some top 3 material.
But we need an album to listen to!
TheBunBun54321 what did you think
Jay Elec seems like a cool ass dude... I like his album he has out as well, definitely going to support this guy.
Thank you! Jay is my favorite poet.
I'm not feeling this interviewer and then I read the comments and realise i'm not delusional. thank you.
I remember when snippets of Exhibit B leaked and I searched endlessly for it for months...with just the curious minor chords and Yasiin verses. Ah man
I like the original version of the interview with the full songs
His anxiety is kinda crazy lmao. but you could tell he's really intellectual.
glad he makes me feel not alone.
He stutter. I do too. He tries to talk before he breathes
@@JoshJamesCampbell81 stfu
Your sentence is cunty.
@@JoshJamesCampbell81 Huh? Im not talking to your bored attention craving ass. I was addressing the OP.
I love this dude!!!! Such a humble person and a great talent!!!
My favorite artist never dropped a album
He will in 30 some days 🙌🏽
Yes I was gonna say that. We looking at one really soon.
Have you heard "Jay Electronica (as Je'Ri Allah) - The Awakening (2000)" or "The Detroit Demo (2002)" ?? Both got leaked few months ago...
It’s coming in a few days!
VICK. TORIA but do you have it tho?!

Only just watching this now. Jay, you’ve become my favourite artist. I sincerely hope in my lifetime I get to hear another album from you. Or get to read some literature from you.
This dude is beyond! When I first heard the Eternal Sunshine piece I was hooked.
Honest humble and great music
His album couldn't have come at a better time. Definitely "needed"
It's needed 😏
Top 10 GOAT DOA, yes even without an album.
I respectfully disagree
@@elijahjones7002 Good for you.

@@sigiruiz3996 I know. I've been listening to it. So far so good.
“So what u saying” was my shhhhiiiittttt🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Are you watching closely?"
The Denzel Washington of rap

the legend
Revisiting this after Volume II was released on Tidal
Good interview.
The interviewer should have reassured him that he was answering the questions beautifully.
Even if he didn't answer a question 100% just hearing his stream of thought is fascinating.
Interviewer did a horrible job at making the interview comfortable. Jay's train of thought is more fluent when he's more poised
yeah this dude is terrible. and why in front of a bunch of people ? it's only 2 people talking just go into a studio like any other podcast
Yeah the interviewer should have reassured him that he was answering the questions beautifully.
Even if he didn't answer a question 100% just hearing his stream of thought is fascinating.
Exhibit A is my favourite track
Thanks!
A Written Testimony 👑
Finally 🤣🤣
I feel Jay I'm from South Carolina, but ppl don't feel like I sound like I'm from there, for what they consider south in general , but there's other ppl there that get the samething
Jay E is a good dude!! 2021 I’m still listening to his album like it just came out!! Dude one of the greatest and intelligent as hell
Bro need to create his own platform so it's direct 🚫🧢❤️
Extremely intelligent man
amazing b
I wish I went to this
Yes this is a serious interview Nothing like this was done on his deathbed,,,shout out 88Keys
Damn jay smart as hell
Classic
New Orleans stand up
Dude make New Orleans look good love my city
Mr. Interviewer please observer Exhibit A... "How does he do it? "Aye lad! Do you ask a Dolphin how it swims? No... Or an Eagle how it fly's? No... That's right you don't! Cause that's what they were made to do!"
exhibit a and c were amazing songs in an era where there was very little to no memorable music coming out of the hip hop scene. 2007-2012 was pretty much dominated by mixtapes since most commercial releases were pretty mediocre and today sound extremely dated. i listened to those 2 tracks and his mixtape more than 90% of the commercial albums coming out around that time
Jay Electronica think so fast 💨
Peace & Blessings
Shout out to the king
Genius
Didn't Nas do a track Book Of Rakim onStreets Disciple? I'll check after I post
He did an unauthorized biography
I respect you for respect the Hommy Nas, big up man, Real Recognize Real
Jay was speaking on 2020 before 2020.
i think what people might not realize is he's still relatively new to fame at this point. public speaking is the number 1 fear people have. i'd be shaking lol.
Red bull interviewer asking questions with no energy
That's because he's "cool" 😎😎😎
Hes apart of the illuminati, his soul been gone.
😹😹😹
Salute #Myworld #NAS
Why you guys cut the music clips of jay electronica??????
Notice he doesn't stutter while rapping? Therapy for stuttering is they make you sing because you can't stutter while singing.
Frank Lucas facts I stutter also but I can sing a sentence without stuttering
@@mikEsko1001 isn't that something how that works though.
He is blessed.
@@MsMyami no mam you can't stutter while singing/rapping.
JE looks like Mr. Sandman from Mike Tyson's Punch Out.
🤣🤣🤣
Yes Massa
Anyone know how to contact him?
What are those speakers ?
Jay Electronica is ordained
This album better be fire
Conspiracy Guy bro lol u will not be disappointed u gonna have to constantly listen to it
Thoughts 💭?
homegyrl i enjoyed it , wish I had a lil more jay electronic , am a black Muslim so a lot of the complaints most ppl had was music to my ears. Your comment got me wanting to listen again. I am at age where lil uzi type music give me headache now lol . So yea I felt like for once I was the target demo for a project . I understand why most wouldn’t like it tho. Thanks
Conspiracy Guy cool. I’m not Muslim but recently I been doing research on W.F. Muhammad and Father Allah so I was able to follow and appreciate. I love the album.
He discusses Conspiracy theories at 37:00 minutes.
Cmon jay elec where's the album my G
I gave up man, I don't think he's ever going to drop it.
mothersuperior100 sad, he’s a beast on the mic
mothersuperior100 it’s coming
In 15 days but who's counting
Have you heard "Jay Electronica (as Je'Ri Allah) - The Awakening (2000)" or "The Detroit Demo (2002)" ??
Never understood why they skipped the music
Javan Smith copyrights
If you didn’t catch it jay is sayin if we question jfk’s assassination there’s a WHY is reason things keep getting brought up
He ain't nervous at all. It's called acting folks. My man reads rooms effortlessly. Asian dude is impressive. Jay is forever unfukwithable.
Jay def wakes up the people. I love his wrk when he drops. Even tho he didn’t drop much before he signed with hov but now after it’s like his shit is controlled and the album we all want will never come. The album between the two was good but I have to admit that should’ve been only jay. Should’ve stayed independent and just put the world on... its like they told hov to go get him
Extra extra its Mr Head lines
Jay not knowing if he answered the question: 😬
I would love to know how he is able to support himself off of just one mixtape and a couple songs. It is not like he is Frankie Beverly and Maze.
hes been signed to roc nation for over a decade. jayz most likely has givin him a stipend and let him do his thing. Also hes done a handful of features over the years.
Cameron Skidmore Dude we are talking years?! He makes less features then 3 Stacks. It would be dope if he was on MF Doom ish and drop a project here and there. Life is expensive!! Well I hope however he is doing his thing, he does not end up wash up at the end financial. This music game is serious.
nomad: I hear you. But the music industry is not what it was. That might get you by....but living is expensive. Hopefully this album will update his profile even more. Being an artist is hard, even when you are known. Just ask Jeru da damaja.
Ewarton Charlton He must be the pimp of the universe. Cuz he appears to still be will Badu.
Why is that important?? Focus on your own daily bread..
Jay look like tyler the creator in ifhy
Dude! Can we hear the tracks???
The people want gods and saviours
All the gods are saying only we can save us

the interviewer seemed pissed in this interview Jay Electronica was frustrating him😅
Really?. ... why do you think that is?✌🏻
I truly innerstand the interviewers frustration and the look on his face after trying to innerstand the way in which his guest speaks repeating almost every word he says. Jay seems to be on a very unique intellitual level than most rappers and I'm willing to bet that if he finds someone to help him speak to large crowds it would allow him to become comfortable after a few minutes of speaking. He's definitely a different kind of gem that the world needs considering all of the garbage music out there today. I just hope he becomes a successful conspiracy theory rapper because nothing he raps about are conspiracies it's the truth hidden behind that term that was created by those who would like for ppl to discredit ppl like Jay when he speaks about the secret evil doings of those ppl.
Helena ! So right ! Check out sa-roc nsfwr !!
Shit PLAY THAT EXIBIT Q
Anyone else getting ADHD vibes off of Jay here?
For sure 😊
Who is the interviewer????
He didn’t agree with one single point the interviewer made 😂
47:20 ...did they just speak telepathically? 👀
23:00
