    There's another way of looking at the situation.

    I haven't been to any Roc Nation concerts, but maybe he's just an opening act for Jay Z.

    It makes perfect sense. Jay Z can book stadium tours but he needs an opening act. If Jay Electronica is signed to Roc Nation maybe thats what he signed up for, to be Jay Z's opening act.

    If Jay Electronica is Jay Z's opening act he's making more money touring than Joe Budden

    It could be something more like this...

    I can't remember if its a song or an interview
    But I heard JayZ talking once, it went something like this:

    "Right now there's some kid out there listening to JayZ, and he writing some ? . I mean he writing some nice ? , he gonna be the greatest. I'ma find him, and sign him, and never put his ? out"

    I'm paraphrasing, but the gist of what he was saying, was he would sign an artist that he saw as a threat to dethroning him, and shelf him, so that artist will never surpass him

    Ab-Soul and Lupe are both far better than Jay Elec and have put out more material too. A hundred loose songs aren't the same as four or five focused projects. And most of Jay Elecs songs aren't THAT good. Exhibit C and Eternal Sunshine were dope 10 years ago but...I think most people revere Jay Elec because when he dropped, there wasn't really anyone else who was rapping like him at the time. It was a breath of fresh air.

    But looking back now...that ? just isn't profound. Dope still but he hasmt released nothing to warrant the acclaim he gets.

    Lupe debatable but not better IMO, Ab Soul hell no gtfoh

    I REALLY FEEL THIS CAT NEVER INTENDED TO DROP AN ACTUAL ALBUM. HE JUST USED RAP TO MAKE BREAD OFF OF FEATURES & SHOWS, AND FIND A WOMAN/MOM-FIGURE TO TAKE CARE OF HIS ? ASS.

    Jay Electronica would beat the kitty litter out of Joe Buddens so he need not be worried about what he's doing. My guy is from the Magnolia Projects and now he's living his life. Buttons can go ? himself.

    That ? from Bel Air now, he worried about tea and crumpets. Budden for the win

    Jay Elec has 6 songs on spotify

    Exhibit A
    Exhibit C
    Exhibit A (Clean)
    Exhibit C (Instrumental)
    Letter to Falon
    and a skit from a DJ Kenni Star mixtape

    Because he's signed to Roc Nation, streaming politics. Most of his ? would be on Tidal and even then a lot isn't copy-written, sample clearances, etc.. this is hip hop. Music is music.

    ? Jay Z said himself last year to Jay E publicly to put out the damn album. There was a thread here on it

    If you’re good with the pen and release one song every 5 years, there’s no reason the work shouldn’t be top notch.

    You just spent 5 years writing one song.

    Releasing bodies of work at a high quality in a short timespan is impressive, releasing a high quality track every 5 years.... not so much.

    But ? call Andre 3000 a goat.......

    Jay Elect and Andre 3000 are both my some of my favorites but they are not comparable. Andre has multiple classics idgaf if they aren’t solo. He’s one of the GOATs.
