Jay Elect need to shut the fuck up until that record drops.
No one's trying to hear that "king of the game" bullshit while his CD's still in the dungeon

Just realized/remembered Cole has released three albums and a mixtape since he signed to Roc Nation. Both him and Jay Elec signed to Hov around the same time.

yeah, esh was on this - it's been going on forever now. kanye & others did "freestyles" at def poetry jam that showed up a short while later on their LP's...this is right up there with ghostwriting for me as stuff anyone following the genre is gonna shrug right off as a known thing
damn, dude put out one of my favorite albums this year (and a helluva show out here too) but Q3 isn't being kind to him.
still think its weird that you can be sued for samples on something you didnt make money off of
true but if we compare their outputs? i might take elec's nothing over cole's somethings

Biggie would probably still be alive if he didn't kick those verses in Cali, real talk. Shit is a blatant Tupac diss, there's no way around it.
Love Bronson, hope he makes it to the fall lol. Been a rough summer.

2006-2008 were dark times for hip hop. Who could predict that those who shone brightest in the darkness (Blu, Jay Elec, Lupe, etc) would let us down the most. Thirty years from now when I'm comforting my daughter after she breaks up with an abusive boyfriend I'll be able to tell her I know exactly how she feels.

Does make you wonder what would have happened to JayE's career had he not gotten stuck in that Rothschild box.
I'd say fuck rapping too if I could live that lavish lifestyle on the Illuminati's dime.

Dope. I'm guessing this is from Shake the Dust. I've been meaning to check this out: http://www.shakethedust.org/
Didn't puff push him to go to Cali? I agree though. Once pac died, it was all eyes on puff and big. Spitting long kiss goodnight wasn't the smartest thing to do but then again you gotta look at it from big's pov. How angry he must've been after hearing hit em up, especially when he didn't do pac any wrong.

It is pretty crazy to go from homeless to literally the highest socioeconomic level. Given, he isn't exactly cemented into it in the least. I'd imagine it'd give him a lot to rap about, but then since it isn't his own money he's living on, he runs the risk of losing a lot if he says the wrong things.

Oh, I didn't know about this!
Yeah I guess what I posted was just an excerpt then.
Makes sense, seemed weird they'd travel to so many locations and end up with 6 minutes of edited footage :lol.
Cheers, I gotta check out the full now.

TDE's management is a fucking joke. WOW. Why you gotta highlight your L like that, and make your artist look weak.
Release the fucking album on Friday and be done with it. Holding 11 tracks (only 8 of which are new) over the fans' heads like this is laughable.

if TDE put out a fighting game it'd have one character and you could only unlock others after losing with him a thousand times
