Jay Electronica: Dear Moleskine. (prod. by Just Blaze)

[thamidwestmob]

If you guys want to hear verses just check out Sunshine by De La Soul. Even though i'm a huge fan, I'm kind of disappointed in Just Blaze...he basically ripped this from De La.

[09robinsona]

I think he's trying to save our people from the ghetto, depression, and ignorance. Give him time

[croftjw]

Where does Jay Electronica hide? He has everyone on his team, but no body knows him.

[GrgSujan1]

This video was made in my country Nepal...

[Jhiebs]

Dear Jay,

Take all the time you need to complete your album because when it comes out, I know that it will be the greatest creation ever created by man.

-Sincerely, the hip-hop community. PEACE!

[TheMostHigh]

Heavy...

[bc1391]

when you gon drop that verse nigga you taking long!

[JahiSalaam]

@WhatsGoodAce aiite thanks bra

[JahiSalaam]

whats this beat called?

[WhatsGoodAce]

@JahiSalaam Just Blaze sampled the Beat from De La Soul's "sunshine"...... not sure of the original sample tho

[TPurv925]

@WhatsGoodAce the original sample is by a group called Bayete (sp) and the song is called Free Angela, its one song in 3 different parts. Which are the 2nd and 3rd parts of this beat, the 3rd of which is the main part.

[rhymegarden]

stop asking why it took so long for Jay Elec to get put on. It didn't take 20 years for him to get put on, it took 14 trillion years for his mind, body, and soul to be formed. The best things in life take time. Chill niggas. he gon' be here for a long ass time.

[charlesthekidmusic]

Jay-Elec Stay's pissing me off LOL where coming to 2012 and no full track. Damn Man...

[CallOfDutyLoser]

the tease to end all teases

[holdmykornson]

does anyone know if the intro strings part was sampled by somewhere and where? I love the rhythm

[MrCommenterguy]

@holdmykornson

/watch?v=o-X8ZfqNB8I&feature=r­elated

[holdmykornson]

@MrCommenterguy thats them sampling him dude...hence him speaking in the intro of their song

[MrCommenterguy]

@holdmykornson oh lol sorry, I just stumbled across the song after listening to this video thought I would post the link.

[Nerdbama]

@Sprafikk very well said bro..I agree with you 100% and just the preview of this track makes me feel good and makes me wanna gain some kinda spiritual truth about life and do things that i've never done before...I think when and if he drops an album it's gonna change people's lives......

[MrDoctereamz]

one of my favriot songs and i never heard the fulll song,

[bwan03]

is this Nepal?? or elsewhere please can any1 tell me?

[jitwamsinha]

@bwan03 looks like Rishikesh to me

[IEtherianSoul9]

He's lucky to be taking this spiritual journey.

[Sprafikk]

0:45 - 1:45 = The meanest stank face

Such an inspiring beat. Shit that makes you want to climb a mountain, or spear a great white shark. Fly to the moon, or cure a disease. Better yourself like Malcolm & Martin, or attain as much greatness as Ali had..

[razorsharpandonpoint]

@Sprafikk lmao funny as hell but also so truth...no wonder i keep coming back to a video thats 1 min and 45 sec lmao

[Sprafikk]

@razorsharpandonpoint Lol no doubt, "Watch" this joint on the daily. Nutrition right here.

[cwooley89]

full video please?!



[bwan03]

lovely people lovely place, man i wanna go there

[jonmmadison]

seriously. greatest preview i have ever seen. i just really can't get enough of the visuals and audio of this.i watch it whenever i need my creative inspiration with my photography/editing.

[MrCommenterguy]

@SpacemanSpiff98 i know! but when?! Hopefully in my lifetime.

[SpacemanSpiff98]

ACT II DROPS, NIGGAS KILL THEYSELVES.

[MrSpliffstarz]

Jay E, Lauryn Hill, and Andre 3000 are the biggest frustrations in hiphop, so much talent and yet they refuse to put out music. Yet Lil Wayne wack ass can put out 3 million songs

[samlittle94]

@MrSpliffstarz lil waynes a god, he shits money

[PrettyboyDC]

it'll be worth the wait, just have patience.

[toast1985]

Dear Jay Electronica,

Fuck you for never releasing the full version of this video...two years later.

[youngj11229]

@toast1985 i think its a plot so u can look at more of his music like a trap thats good for u

[HajjLaboratory]

@toast1985 its fucking roc nation bro. smh. no one gets their shit put out

[oc93lion]

@HajjLaboratory Think so?...did you hear the interview with Jay z, talkin about j.cole's music...he prolly gives his artist more freedom than anybody else..as much as i want to hear Jay Elec bring out more songs.. i think good things are worth the wait

[swagLilBallin11]

damn,jay look big.

[TheMadvillainy]

Jay Electra is so ahead of his time, but the world needs him now more than ever.

[spcw4]

@TheMadvillainy we need this album now

[C0ME2THEPROMISEDLAND]

saw this when it had around 900 views, had a strong feeling jay would blow up

[countchunkula]

JAY RELEASE THIS SHIT NOW!!! I remember when this video first came out. Now it has over 400,000 views. NIGGAS IS THIRSTY!!! Our corrupt youth needs this song.

[Hipnotik07]

OK

[MacAciD]

god damn man, this is one of the sickest beats ive ever heard. the lyrics really touch me too. why cant you finish it :(

[Itachikidd]

15 seconds of greatness....

[SolidSnake240]

holy shit I would hate to be Jay's manager. He drops new music every blue moon

[lionelzeus]

WTF!!!! DROP THE FULL VIDEO!!!!

[JayDeezay]

de la sunshine sample?

[sonicsentry]

MY FAULT FOR LAST COMMENT. IT WAS ON ANOTHER VID OF THESE GUYS USING THE SAME BEAT.

[sonicsentry]

These guys jumped on the man's song like its there song! Plus, they made it seem you were going to hear Moleskine. Don't jack a title just to get folk to listen. This is wacktacular. FAIL.

[merkingGuy]

@sonicsentry the video your talking about is dope, their lyrics are fire. and your completely discerning hip hop by saying that copying is whack. so many artists bite bits off of other artists, whether it be lyrics, beats or references. Jay Electronica being one of those artists

[G4700]

u suck jay 3 years later and still no album people loss anticipation allready

[xxgaonaxx]

@G4700 he said its already finished just recently

[G4700]

@xxgaonaxx foreal? do you have a url? wats the source...i hope what your saying is true b/c in reality..i haven't lost anticipation ive just been disappointed.

[xxgaonaxx]

@G4700 he posted it on his twitter

[kenyack]

just blaze and jay electronica NEED to release more music.

everything they have worked on together is flawless.

perfect marriage of music and words

[kirualechat]

JAY DOGON the most anticipated MC

[konatown5]

@SimbaWM India is pretty dope can't lie.

[jaymitch23]

[shawnchon117]

@Jacory069 then you shouldn't put lil wayne next jay elec,

ah i see you're a troll...great.

[Jacory069]

@shawnchon117 who are you to tell anyone what they can and cannot do?. last time i checked i don't know you and you don't know me. Lil Wayne happens to be a great rapper in my opinon, Jay Electronica is a Great Rapper i don't see a problem here only you. you can hate on whoever you want but do try to tell me what to do becasue your just wasting your own time.

[MarcoOrBust]

@thejavon7466 lol What? can you elaborate

[RhymeDyme]

History repeats itself. This is seen with the fundamental rap we have today as a representation of the fundamental rap in the 80's. For all you intellectual listeners and hip-hop lovers, that "NAS FLOW" will repeat itself as well.

[groove2227721]

I don't understand how niggas spends 5 mins listening to Jay and FUCKING HOURS arguing about soulja boy, j cole and drake. Um can we refocus on the nigga we all agree is the hottest in the game?!?!?! I hate that shit.

[charlyblues]

Bayete i love ya.

[Revo1]

Be real, Jay. You didn't finish the track yet, did you? You lazy mufucka! lol j/k

[Nerdbama]

@Revo1 lol.Jay is my dude, but your right fam....lol...

[6angelo9]

Jay Electronica got top secret music. His shit is definitely Exclusive.

[scauma]

ok, i usually don't do this but that song was a major tease. give us what we want already!

[merkingGuy]

one word: RIDICULOUS

[kushamismaximus]

if u disliked this go fuck your sister

[BlackOpt]

PLEASE MAN....RELEASE THE FULL VIDEO...FOR THIS AND EXHIBIT A....WE NEED IT.... :(

[withperfecttiming]

you're cursing yourself in the video when you let them "bless" you like that. that shit is of the devil.

[sonofYah7]

@withperfecttiming how do you know thats from the devil please explain

[withperfecttiming]

@sonofYah7 because it is a pagan ritual.

[Exoskeletaljunction]

@withperfecttiming You do realize Christianity is derived from Paganism which is derived from Kemet....

[withperfecttiming]

@Exoskeletaljunction Christianity is derived from Judaism.

[Exoskeletaljunction]

@withperfecttiming ....Which is derived from Paganism which is derived from Kemet...... 

[withperfecttiming]

@Exoskeletaljunction you are uneducated.

[Exoskeletaljunction]

@withperfecttiming No sir you are, if you are saying Christianity is not essentially derived from Kemet, you got some research to do.

[withperfecttiming]

@Exoskeletaljunction Christianity was derived from Judaism which was derived from nothing but Jehovah himself through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 1st Kings 18: 1-39. Baal worship is paganism. Why would Elijah have had a problem with their "god" if Judaism was derived from paganism?

[Exoskeletaljunction]

@withperfecttiming Lol are you unaware of what Kemet is? Or what Paganism is? Not the blanket term, the actual polytheistic religion. Are you unaware that the story of Jesus is a personification of God's SUN's travels? Nearly all of Judeo-Christian religion is taken from the Kemetian foundation. Nearly all of those books are just Astrotheological Literary Folk Hybrid used to control you depending on the moral standards of where you live. Go listen to 'Voodoo Man' By Jay Electronica.

[withperfecttiming]

@Exoskeletaljunction stay off the peyote

[teamhill27]

@Exoskeletaljunction Yeah the bible was written by a pagan. I like saying that to the super saved Christians lol

[IVIonkey123]

@teamhill27 Calm down with the religion hate, that's kinda low.Especially on this video.

[ssshhhbequiet]

you guys don't understand how longggg I've been waiting for the full version smh....

[SoCalDude805]

Is there a full length studio version out by now???

[ilovehiphop1980]

*ATTENTION ALL HIPHOP HEADS* i found another one, type in “Vinnie Dewayne – Damn” on here . hiphop heads will understand what i mean. is real shit coming back? finally ?”"

[ShemiticOne]

Can somebody explain this video?

[PJS192]

To anyone wanting to know about the beat (at least in the second half of the video) I heard it first in a De La Soul track called 'Sunshine'. Dunno if it was sampled before that though...

[iSelfRecords]

yo !! you heard that [ J.COLE & TEQUILLA ROZE - the Roots sessions ] j cole goes hard !! the boi Roze is nice too .. BUT [ JAY ELEC ] IS MY DUDE

[TheKipKadillac]

FUCK! This was posted in 2009. When will the "To Be Continued" be continued?? I want the ressssssst please

[manlio212]

Itunes is fuckin Uppp

[razorsharpandonpoint]

Sample Please !!!!???

[Nerdbama]

(doelow44) You knocking the man talking shit saying he only freeystyles and you are right about him not putting out alot of material, but exhibit C alone got his major buzz and a record deal from argubably the best new your rapper ever so what do you have to say now? Dude got signed off of one song...How many times do I have to ether your ass. Either you come with some relevant shit or dont post again, because you sound more like a hater than anything..SMFH at some of you clowns...

[Nerdbama]

(doelow44)If you want this so-called real hip hop then go listen to some drake or gucci mane and learn yourself a new dance. I mean you did say he raps like he's from the 90's so that should mean you like this new wave bullshit that they put out on the radio. Probably one of them niggas who be dancing and shit to the newest songs that they be playing on the radio..LMFAO..Show me a pic of rapper praying with monks and menitiong foriegn countris in their raps with relevant meaning. I bet u cant.

[MrChewymentos]

@Nerdbama LOL DRAKE AND GUCCI MANE!!!! THOSE are your fuckin examples of real hip hop... Dam you must be living in a box at the bottom of the ocean or sum shit homie... i feel most of the rest of wut ur saying but those two examples hurt me inside...

[Nerdbama]

@MrChewymentos SMH..Did you read what I said homey? I said if he like this "SO CALLED HIP-HOP THEN HE SHOULD GO LISTEN TO DRAKE OR GUCCI MANE" It was meant as sarcasm..I would never consider either of those two lames to be hip-hop. Check out my page and you'll see who I listen to...

[Nerdbama]

(doelow44) U can't be serious with that shit you just wrote. Oh so since he's lyrical and from the south he sounds like a new york nigga? SMFH..Name one nigga from new york now besides jay z or nas that can rap like jay elect? "YOU CAN'T"!!! Then you say 1000 niggas done rapped about the samethings he raps about..LMFAO.. Name these so called 1000 dudes while the rest of us sit back and wait. How many rappers have you ever seen going to foriegn countries and parying and medatating with monks?

[the211hustle6]

TYPE IN.....JOHN BOYE

[Grizzletopz]

i get a real strong RAKIM vibe from jay electronica also, the NAS & KILLA PREIST comparison is dead on too one of the baddest on the scene 4 sure

[doelow44]

this nigga rap like he listen to other people to hard.....lol he's too old for that

[Nerdbama]

@doelow44 WTF are you talking about? Too old for what? Who else raps like jay elect?

[doelow44]

@Nerdbama dont even let me start....first he disses new york rappers then turn around and sound like them.....then he dont even give you full songs just a bunch of recreated beats and 32 bar written freestyles or sometimes not even the song at all..............HE IS WHAT U CALL A REMAKE RAPPER.....HE THINK REAL HIP HOP IS JUST REDOING WHAT 1000 NIGGAS ALREADY IN THE 90s.....REAL HIP HOP IS CREATING NEW SHIT FROM THE GROUND UP "NOT ALREADY BEING AROUND" AND NOW DECIDING TO RAP WHEN U DONT HAVE TO

[troyterry2445]

@doelow44 you my friend are an idiot

[HighandMighty609]

This is tough man....real music for real ears...you gotta love it....underground artists like MURS, CYNE, BLU, BRO ALI, ESOTERIC, TOP SCHOLARS, Jay Electronica, Big KRIT ALL NEED TO BE LISTENED TO BY THE MASSES!!!Please pay them their respect!

[gatx45]

Just listened to jay E's mixtape, the only bad thing i have to say about it is one long 70 minute track? no locate points? i get the fact that he wants you to listen to the whole shit, but i was too busy fast forwarding to shiny suit theory, or one of the other bangers on victory. bottom line, this nigga is nice! You can say what you want, but a real lyricist will always DOMINATE the underground, regardless of album sales or 'mass appeal' look at MF DOOM, Talib Kweli, or Busta

[Ghost1X3]

@gatx45 where you get mixtape at ?

[gatx45]

@Ghost1X3

at hiphopdx.com or search for the torrent (bittorrent)

[gatx45]

Jay E got niggas waiting on his shit like dre wit detox... I got a feeling he's gonna be unstoppable soon enough with that roc nation move. Its funny, everyone wants to hate or have some sort of negative comment, until the nigga blows up, then her we go with the bandwagon shit, nuthugger from all across the world will change their tone, jay E been on that intelligent rap/poetry shit for years. i can't wait until he blows, Raekwon said it best, Niggas know hard core now aint dat a bitch?

[Nerdbama]

@gatx45 Realtalk fam. It's actually the other way around though. I hear alot of people made that he signed to the roc and are calling him a sellout and they think he's gonna change up his rapping, but I think he will remain the same and keep putting out that poetic music that his fans came to like....

[the211hustle6]

TYPE IN.....GOOD CLEVELAND MUSIC

[MrKnowledgeTv]

I can't wait until Jay put down a full mixtape or Lp something damn he be teasing people man. I know he probably never will sign to a major label, from my understanding he like's to do his own thing when he wants to do it. So you never know when he's gonna come out with a full album. He's just loving life being in the game doing what he do no pressure no release dates a true Hip Hop chemist. I just want one dope album so I can play the Hell out of it.

[biscuitsification]

@MrKnowledgeTv hes singed to jay z's label-roc nation...but the rest is true

[MrKnowledgeTv]

@biscuitsification Damn I didn't know that....well I can't wait for a full cd..or at least put all of the old joints on one mix tape. I really don't have the time to hunt them all down....

[getz21]

why the fuck is there still no recorded version online.

[AliOfficialMusic]

Hey im 16 and i make music too you should check out my page. i promise i wont disapoint. :)

[zimbabwe263]

he is the truth

[InfamousBobbyWhite]

jay electronica is the best to ever do it. THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

Drop the mixtape and the album! dont be scared

[DesiDesciplesTV]

JAY ELECTRONICA FOR PRESIDENT!!

[star83]

I really want to know what Jay is doing on these videos, because right now it's looking rather silly... I know most people are going to be thinking it's deep aswell.

[KiLLuhStraight]

@star83 hes indulging in other cultures and expanding his mind. Its not supposed to be deep, but it is bitchin. I think you might be looking at it wrong.

[Nerdbama]

@star83 Looking silly? SMFH..You can't be serious..What's silly about it? Care to explain?

[pistonear]

looks like jay is on a journey. ride don't walk jay.

[Infinitecypha420]

my top 5 rappers jay electronica jay electronica jay electronica jay electronica and jay electronica

[Shadapaga]

the beat is similar to doom

[sabertoothpanther]

sweet 15 second rap

[roman5]

at 1:11-1:13 you can briefly see a photo hung up on the top right corner of Guru Gobind Singh Ji the 10th Sikh guru...imma Sikh (an Indian Religion, the 5th largest religion in the world) and to see it associated in a Jay Electronica video just makes Jay Electronica that much better! Jay Electronica is within the Prophecy of Hip-Hop the one man to come up and bring hip-hop back to life! Rakim's the God MC and Jay Elec is the MC's Savior

[Abane001]

@roman5 It looks like a mix of Buddhism, hinduism, and Sikhism throughout the whole video.

[b455ybw0i]

this beat, very similar to j dilla - sunshine intro !

[ViktorVaughnVillain]

YOs. I got NEW SHIT comin soon for the real heads, VV:3, Vindictive Villain. Plus a west coast tour comin soon. Keep ya eyes peeled for the first vid to drop, DOPEST SKILEST featuring GZA and my man A Plus.

PEACE

[REALCITYbred]

Jay looks like a white guy playing a black guy in a movie

[andyao]

amazing
