Jay Electronica - Something To Hold On To

[TheMostHigh]

His album should be EPiC.. Patiently waiting..

[BackFromNowere]

I don't normally listen to rap so i dont know about any rivalry, what i do know is that Jay Elec is a brilliant musician.

[BlankthaVillain]

@mhdixon21 That may be the best idea ever!

[RayCapone88]

One of tha hardest trax i done bumped. Tht nigga jay elect is boss, similar to hov in his prime. #Realshit

[seanjoseph84]

Looking forward to hearing a lot more from you! Drop by Scotland, or I'll go to see you in London. Lovin The Bullitts

[hanzokeeper1]

Drown your bugging kid j cole flow is sick

[biglharlemworld]

'hard time three to nine in a jailhouse

Is no different from slaving nine to five in a warehouse'

kinda true except you dont get raped in a warehouse



[MENZ215]

@biglharlemworld lol the RAPE part lol

[DTownWat]

j cole is horrible. listen to krit or gibbs or currensy

[MENZ215]

@DTownWat NEVER ENDING CYCLE (gibbs) went the fuck IN on THAT joint he mad NICE

[201266680]

I don't hear or see J. Cole ANYWHERE in this vid so i'm confused as to why anyone's even speaking about him. JAY ELECTRONICA!!!!!!

[scousesammy1]

1 person has nothing to hold on to

[KTonig22]

@thetalentedkid, yo bra yu got that fact rite, I been lissning to J Cole more then five years now, The come up, the warm up are my fave mixtape, Friday night lights it's ok but his new album I will say is wack, I think his melodys of old school beats change to a kind of lil Wayne wave on his beats, ""MR NICE WATCH"" wtf is this)))) im sorry j cole but I was expecting something more like a real hip hop shit like NAS and PAC , Jay Elec's raps about goodshit, even this song brakes J Cole debute

[evanmwstuart]

DOPE

[nabillizarraga]

Does anybody else think jay electronica looks like he can be krs - 1 son? Lmao

Jay electronica is the truth tho sounds like a new Nas

[jamieeyt]

no way tht th all seein eye on his sleeve it mus b th label, an if it is it jus th label tryna be cool, no way ths man a puppet listen 2 his lyrics n j cole an jay e r gna collabo on a album, an jay e album comin next, thn a new jay z album, th 3 js lol, killin it,

[HoodCoderMan]

@jamieeyt Respect what you said, but you cut too many corners with the abbreviations and acronyms. Hard to read what you wrote. Peace.

[jamieeyt]

no way tht th all seein eye on his sleeve it mus b th label, an if it is it jus th label tryna be cool, no way ths man a puppet listen 2 his lyrics

[ningdoggjyfh]

anyone else notice the all seeing eye on his sleeve?? Not fuckin cool.Im lovin me some jay electronica so if he turns out to just be another illuminati puppet i'll go crazy

[CreatureLikeGod]

1 dislike the dude's hand slipped.

[VirginiaTagz]

This song has co writing credits by Nas, 50 Cent and God

[RealMuzikPlease]

@VirginiaTagz you sound like a fucking fool if you think 50 garbage ass had anything to do with wat this man spit on this track. or maybe he heard 50 latest shit and thought it was so trash he needed to put the game one his back

[ThaTalentedKid]

Jay Electronica is nice, but come on dude, Better than J COLE?!?! J. COle is far more intellect with his wordplay, and you could probably compare the shit that he recorded when he was 15 to what jay is spitting now! For example, search J. Cole - Can I Bus, or J. Cole - The Storm, he was 15 spitting on a nas level, argubally the best upcoming rapper in the game with kendrick lamar and jay electronica.

[MaliMasih88]

@ThaTalentedKid shut up!!!! Please!!! More intellect with his wordplay!! You obviously don't catch the shit Jay Elec be rhyming about, Cole is nice!! But Jay is a MUCH BETTER pure lyricist!

[PublicAwkwardness]

@ThaTalentedKid cant agree jay is way to crazy but i can agree there both sick

[HoodCoderMan]

@ThaTalentedKid J Cole is ok from what I heard. Only problem is he be doing that corny ass metaphor shit that them Young Money fags be doing = "It's going down - basement" or "I know the game - analyst" or from J Cole himself "Celebrate my independence day - Will Smith"...That shit corny. I don't know when or how that shit became hot. "Blowing up - balloons" Shit is whack. Jay Elec don't do that corny shit from what I heard. For that simple fact, Jay Elec better than J Cole. Sorry.

[ThaTalentedKid]

@HoodCoderMan He does shit like that for the fans, making music is his living, and there are alot of stupid fans today, who deny buying real hip hop. He does it for sales, but he keeps real hip hop into his rhymes, on his come up album, he rapped more like this. but he's ill as fuck man and one of the illest rappers in the game today.

[TheThirdWing94]

@HoodCoderMan That is some corny ass fuckin shit. Jay Elect dont use ANY kind of metaphors like that.

[HoodCoderMan]

@TheThirdWing94 I'm with you dog. I can't stand that stupid metaphor shit them Young Money dudes be doing. Now everybody doing that shit. Shit is corny. "Haters can't see me - nose bleed seat" - Shit is corny. I was done when I heard Luda do that shit. As long as I don't hear Jay Z or Nas do that shit. I hope Jay Elec drop an album soon. Hip Hop needs him.

[brooklynthecost]

@HoodCoderMan J.COLE BEST RAPPER ALIVE...COLE WORLD

[HoodCoderMan]

@brooklynthecost If you say so. You think he's better than Jay Elec?

[brooklynthecost]

@HoodCoderMan yess jay elec is up there but j.cole better them 2 my fav rappers

[HoodCoderMan]

@brooklynthecost You heard of Skyzoo? Check out the song "Langston's Pen". That shit is ill.

[jantzenwhite]

haha your fucking retarded J cole couldn't touch tech n9ne with a 50 foot pole!!!!!!!

[TheThirdWing94]

@ThaTalentedKid "They call me Jay Dogon, I'm on some Sirius shit". That one line is far deeper than any piece of music material J Cole has put out, and I guarantee you don't get it. Let-alone Eternal Sunshine. You know nothing of lyricism.

[ThaTalentedKid]

@TheThirdWing94 you mad? cool story bro :)

[TheThirdWing94]

@ThaTalentedKid Mad? Only on the internet. Go back to that 'more intellectual' shit. I'll just learn about the Dogon Tribe in Africa.

[ThaTalentedKid]

@TheThirdWing94 ok, you do that, ok buddy?

[DatAfr0Guy]

j.cole and jay electronica would be a dope ass collabo though..

[coriejay]

Jay Elec is a potential problem to the whole rap game.

[Twsit133]

@coriejay No, solution

[coriejay]

@Twsit133 Lol true true.

[MrCommenterguy]

@chitown702 lol. Hilarious little fella.

[mont140]

best song from him, hes going to make a difference

[chitown702]

"Fallen angels in the ghetto trading their wings for things"! MESSAGE TO DA ILLUMINATI right there I hope "ROCNATION" don't make this brotha sell his soul and he stay inspirational smh to da puppets out there so lost

[wwefanatic662]

jay elect is pretty good,exhibit c is a good song.i knew about him beforehand but i still like that the most

[razorpayne13]

i checked out this dude cuz killah priest said he was tight...priest was beng to kind...forget that islam trip...

[mhdixon21]

thumbs up if you want a Jay Electronica/DJ Premier collabo

[ThaNotoriousBEN]

i gotta make a point before they find out

they killin' niggas just the way they murdered amy winehouse

filtering this poison

just make a little noise and they run

to charlton heston's house to get a gun

and give 'em to the little black boys in the jungle

if no one will respect you then a 9 will make 'em humble

if no one will protect you then just stay inside your bubble

don't exercise your mind 'cause that only leads to trouble

[mont140]

@ThaNotoriousBEN is this you ?

[ThaNotoriousBEN]

@mont140 f'sho.



[starvin33]

listen hip hop needs both bubble gum rap and reality rap because it balance everything out everyone dont want to here reailty all the time. the simply cant comprehend. and some people are to serious for the bullshit. but really the music must be serious at times and fun at times. i want my kids to litsen to lil mama or cali swag causse i dont want to burden them with lifes problems.

[karljjr]

THis young brother is a breath of fresh air. Ive been waiting for this new generations of brother to grab the torch and wak these dont know up.

[Bayfotter]

Is it just me, or does it sounds like xzibit on the chorus?

[Bookkeepah141]

im just sayin, the best rappers are never really given credit, yeah jay been signed to the roc, why the fuck he not on tour wit rihanna, jcole is chillin right now, see what i mean, emimen signing all these niggas now, u think all these acts will have full all out projects, um no! LOL, remember 50 signed all those niggas, all u got was a mobb deep/ g unit album. cool but u get the hint, these niggas just let kanye in 4 years ago, u niggas forget, lol

[Bookkeepah141]

jcole is nice , but is no where near nice as jay elect, cmon, just how jay is pro black, the niggas is like a hybrid of nas, rakim and grand puba, lmao,,,, nah hes saying that shit niggas cant and dont say, they will sign him just to shut him up, shit is deep, lol, they decide who becomes a star, jcole is a clean version, more acceptable to the masses, skill doesnt doesnt decide ur career in rap,, if niggas think jay z is the best mc ever, go buy a gun now and shot ur self in the fucking head,

[504deeznuts]

damn...he spoke the truth man. shows u how crazy this world is. teachers supose to lift u up not put you down...

[GoldenChild1013]

does anyone know what brand of jacket that is that jay elect. wearin? its hella dope

[LJ23TheTestament]

The Best Rapper in the game right now

[pesely]

his debut album is gonna be fucking huge. fuck radio hits.

[yugang08]

@pesely u damn right its gonna be huge! a close friend of mine who know's jay electronica's people let me know that jay went all out getting hip hop's best producers to work on both act 2 & the roc nation debut LP. No bullshit when i say u & the rest of the fans will be beyond satisfied with the final product. For now, we'll have to be patient and wait.

[pesely]

@yugang08 Jay Elect+Dr. Dre=head explodes.

[urlgravy]

this is the future of hip hop. spine tingling good lyrics.

[DCsWiseMan]

Hip Hop's vital signs are back ))))

[Dieudonne357]

The asshole that voted against this is an uneducated coon........

[nhwhiteboy12]

this dude jumped over 400 views in 3 days. if youre looking for an artist that is lyrically talented check him out and give the recognition real hip-hop deserves. just type in Available in HD Week 10- My Zone

[lethalnjection86]

Peace to the God jay electronia keep spreading the knowledge to the world that they too may study the lesson educate themselves ,don't settle for ignorance complete the cipher 360. K.O.S. Knowledge Of Self

[mont140]

i cant lie this is a heavenly song

[SoLo2Krazy]

No one disses Jay Elect if they are anything in the game, you just cant fuck with his lyrical ability. Listen and you might learn something.

[DramaDen313]

niggas aint peep this though "hard time 3 to 9 in the jail house is no different from slaving in 9 to 5 in a warehouse" realest shyt i heard a nigga say big ups for that line jay ... me being HOT i wish i thought about it like dat before i did wat i did!!! fuck uping my comment get this nigga a billion views so these people can follow him like they follow wayne!!!

[mont140]

@DramaDen313 word that bar was some real shit

[PurpleHaze1824]

Jay Electronica is the freshest thing to come to hip hop since DOOM.

Real shit, this dude remind me of DOOM (Not really style wise), real smart brother whose substance rivals Nas, and lyrical abilities are as talented as DOOM and Lord Finesse. His influences go from Jazz, to the Bible to pop culture he's so versitile. Def one of o the nicest doing it.

Search Eddie Pesos "North of Death" and "Hayley" Puerto Rock kid from PA droppin' ill joints on the mic.

[DemolitonManz]

I think Jay Electronica is the best rapper DEAD OR ALIVE

[jumpy901]

ok people Jay Electronica and J. Cole are 2 totally different people and different artists. They both rap about the same thing: LIFE IN GENERAL! Like

J. Cole said, " Jay Electronica is Lyrically out of this world and is probably the most underated Lyricists out now." and Jay Electronica said, " J. Cole is one of those artists who really raps about what needs 2 be rapped about." Me personally I think they are great Lyricists and challenge your state of mind behind music. best 2 Lyricists out now

[mont140]

@jumpy901 they should make a song with this type of flow together they are the best young talent that we have

[jumpy901]

@mont140 yo i agree man, they did one track together but it was with Mos def and Talib kweli, but it was still a good song though.

[Lebron1823]

@jumpy901 Hello Mr. Nice watch...GTFOH J.Cole sold out and its been this way even before his debut album, and Jay electronica has been around 4 awhile now cole is nowhere near his level dont compare them. They are hardly the only 2 rappers out who make you think, there are other conscious rappers out there that i'd rather listen 2 then cole

[soccergerrard1]

@Lebron1823 Why you hatin' on Cole? Yeah his new album had a few 'mainstream' tracks to attract a general audience into buying his album and listening to Real Hip Hop in songs like "Lost Ones" and "Dolla and A Dream 3". The man is good as heell. One of the best in the game. "I'm a star; converses, conversin with them girls with them curves Like cursive, she open like curtains cuz my shit is unheard of" man's got real talent.

[F4billionyearzag0]

@jumpy901.......j. nicole iz wack! There's no comparison compared to Jay Elect! J. Nicole soundz like a bootleg version of drake an lil weeezy!

[Raytheceo]

@F4billionyearzag0 Hater...Smh.. Cole Is That Nigga Fuck What You Sayin.

[F4billionyearzag0]

@Raytheceo........I'm sayin that J. Nicole iz ga'bage!! Thatz what I'm sayin!

[wickbush]

Jay is nice on the mic cant wait until his cd drops. We not more hot rap like this and less trash. because 95% of rappers are talking loud but not saying nothing

[SoloDolo784]

africa is everyones motherland thats where the first man is from.

[PBboy08]

Not only are hsi raps better then the "rappers" of today, his beats are soooo dope!

[Treely31]

He is.. Nigga, he's on a whole other level! Explain one thing that this nigga said? You won't be able to.. J. Cole is not, and will never be on this level..

[koormoney101]

how the fuck is this nigga better than j cole ?

[kennboy1]

@koormoney101 Who said he's better than J Cole?

[Jahcure420]

east coast rap, south or west, we all black my nigga about to board the ship to the motherland,...........

[Roxannesucks]

@Jahcure420 I'm white... Am I not allowed?

[Jahcure420]

@Roxannesucks white people can come to, Africa is your home also, we all unite ya nah mean....

[brziggy8812]

[RABIDNATSU]

[illa1990]

PURE ART 

[dpineapple20]

Jay e is fucking raw...much respect

[deonta0724]

"with two left feet it's kinda hard to walk a straight path" dude is sick wit it

[phantomarsh]

this dude has possibly some of the deepest lyrics in rap.... damn

[LaidBack0074]

NO radio play NO record out this shit is wack jay z cant even help this nigga tha south aint fell this shit thats way he went up north with that bull shit

[TheCityofgood]

@LaidBack0074 it's better to have jay electronica's lyrics and subject matter than the majority of the bullshit coming from the south lol

[mumradio]

@TheCityofgood don't shit on the south..some of the best emcee's ever come from the south.

[mumradio]

@LaidBack0074 kill yourself..this song is HOT as fuck

[TheCityofgood]

@mumradio i know that, im not shittin on the south as a whole. I love UGK, Outkast, K-Rino, Z-RO, Trae The Truth, Phonte of little brother, Goodie Mob, Scarface, Pusha T and Chamillionaire. I also like the newer guys like Currensy, Big krit, J. cole, Sts and obviously Jay E. As Far as the majority (not all) of the other dudes they're pretty much garbage and make the south's hip hop scene look bad.

[matthewc39]

J COLE AND J ELECT R THE 2 BEST OUT STOP COMPARING THEM THEY GOT DIFFERENT FLOWS THERE BOTH GREAT

[khalifa1016]

mm mm mm too much realness

[ILLYSPITTER]

THIS IS EPIC ,CLASSIC,PRICELESS ALL WRAPPED IN ONE. AMEN

[the211hustle6]

[MrLouka123]

Listening to this makes me Sick when i even think about Drake and Lil Wayne! Jay Electronica is one of the first new people whos releasing real hip hop

[311PICASSO410]

This motherfucker is nice as shit!!

Jay Electronica that nigga..Why isn't this played on the radio

[snipersLock]

Its funny how one of this man's songs (without a record label) = 10 albums dropped by these wack candy rappers with a record label.

This mathimatically proves the lack of originality in Rap & Hip-hop.

[malboro1979]

The New NAS!!

[jazzywithit]

@nastynick wtf does bein a white boy have to do with shit. I agree with you that jay elect is one of the best lyricists out right now by far but the fuck does bein white have to do with shit? I don't understand why we get shit for listenin to rap its music put out for people to enjoy this reverse racism shit is gettin old as fuck

[dmoneyswag72]

Jay is the truth

[QuantumJoe62]

are you telling me that Jay Z, J. Cole, Jay Elec, & Wale are better than super deep lyricists like wayne, drake, nicki, and tyga? WHHHAAAAATTT? HAHA.. ROC NATION IS COMIN UP!!!!

[hiphopsavedmylyfe]

@QuantumJoe62 Did you honestly just put jay Elec with all those shitty rappers ?what the hell is wrong with you honestly ?

[QuantumJoe62]

@hiphopsavedmylyfe haha you're an idiot, reread the comment dumbass.. who are you talkin bout? J. Cole, Jay Z, and Wale or Wayne, Tyga, and Nicki?? 

[hiphopsavedmylyfe]

@QuantumJoe62 the whole list

[QuantumJoe62]

@hiphopsavedmylyfe Hah, I bet if I put put GOD in that list you would still disagree.. personally I'm not a big fan of either Jay Z or Wale, I was just talking bout Roc Nation.. BUT, J. Cole is above Jay Elec.. get off his dick.. J. Cole has good beats with CRAZY lyrics and content with great samples.. just an opinion ;)

[hiphopsavedmylyfe]

@QuantumJoe62 How can you honestly say get off his dick when you have no clue as to how many artists i favour over j.cole and those others in the list. I don't remember saying he's the greatest rapper alive and i want to be him or anything like that its just a personal opinion. Also you are a dirty hypocrite , you tell me to get off jay elec's dick when you yourself more or less just said j. cole is better than them all , then say its a personal opinion? what did i just say about jay elec?

[20crazychick11]
