The Making of Act II

[ItsJoeWorld]

Pocket full of rupies

[LifeFilms1]

the soul can neva die...."we" will rise again

[chumaokafor]

When JAY Electrolysis' shit drops, everybody gettin' stained

[chumaokafor]

@TheATrain59 You got that f*cking right!

[KalphaO]

Blue don't you make me blue You, I'm in love with you Life is a hurdle, caught in a circle sometime Rain don't you make it rain Again you hurt me again Less is a virtue, love will desert you sometime Fate has a (goal?) that we'll never know You told me you changed and things will be the same I can't do this, no Won't you let me go

[heretic2012]

i would do anything to make this album drop right now!!

[24jaywitt]

I've been waiting 2 years for dude to drop........ In the meantime, I've been settling for the okee doke.....

[PerspektifMC]

Damn, Jay Elec up in my beautiful country. I heard a rumour he was here but didn't wanna believe it and here's the proof. Too dope!

[TheThirdWing94]

"Ladies and Gentleman... Love is the only thing that can save us all!"

[bodhilight]

Please release this soon.

[UncleJay88]

Act II could not come any sooner.

[5percent5r]

OMG! THANK YOU BASED GOD!!!!!

[22TRUEVISION]

@5percent5r lol I FEEL YOU BRAH

[Sticknbkid]

Damn this was in South Africa, my beloved country. Can't wait for this album to come out

[mouchettee1]

With the youth uprising all over the planet earth including in the U.S. ie "Occupy Wallstreet" this song is is before its time which is a testimony to the brilliance of Jay Electronica and the Bullits (James) keep doing y'all thing and may Allah keep blessing you both with vision and wisdom.

[MrBobtherapper]

electronica has been such a great influence on my life.....and i thank him the man and him the song writer for putting right above wrong and love above hate! real talk people



[BaByUzii]

Wen da fuk is jay puttin out da dam album shit. Pardom my french

[WanderingSpiritProd]

@BaByUzii I think its bound to be this year with 2012

[TheATrain59]

Hip Hop's last hope



[samlittle94]

@TheATrain59 based god right?

[junkhobokiller]

@TheATrain59 i thought like u before but hip hop is not dead however it is falling and now is coming back up. The balance between wack rappers and dope lyrically rappers is balancing itself out. Jay electronica, Big KRIT, Kendrick Lemar, J cole, Logic its not dead at all i hope DOOM and Blackstar release something this year.

[Roddyrod92]

@junkhobokiller spoken like a true fellow hip-hop head

[MrCommenterguy]

@junkhobokiller Thank you, there's plenty to feast on out there you just have to look for it. I hate all this 'Hip Hop's last hope' shit, it's corny, and I see the same type of comments on every good upcoming artist.

However, out of all of them, Jay E has most potential to be GOAT. He is the most lyrical.

[junkhobokiller]

@MrCommenterguy the sad thing is the music industry are going to try convince jay electronica to change his style and maybe even dumb down to appeal to a wider range of audience, so i hope he keeps doing his thing and keep making good music because that eterenal sunshine shit was fuckin genius the whole 15 minutes

[MrCommenterguy]

@junkhobokiller I honestly happen that doesn't happen. And yeah, every now and then whilst listening to Act 1 Eternal Sunshine I spot something different I have never noticed before in the lyrics. Genius.

[tomyself1980]

My bad... I was referring to Latonya Givens...@thelegendsociety...u­nless that is you...if not my bad

[tomyself1980]

@thelegendsociety I swear she need to come out with with album..i heard you first on Rick Ross album... I googled about a thousand pages trying to find you..keep me posted..jay Electronica..is bad son of a gun too..yall keeping music alive

[TheFashon91]

@thelegendsociety Much love. I'd appreciate it if you could add me and we can have a discussion. I am always looking to network and build.... and keep the positivity flowing... Im sending you a request now

[MrCommenterguy]

@thelegendsociety Tell Jay there is a 1000 page thread on KTT (KanyeTothe) built just from waiting for Act 2. But we're waiting as patiently as possible. BTW you have an incredible voice, looking forward to seeing you taking over the singing industry in the future.

[unknownpleasures100]

The pilot(?) at the start looks like Micheal Stipe

[410VINO4RMTHA17]

I listen to this beautiful piece of music every night. That riff was crazy jay elec needs to bring that sister to the states I want to hear this In person.

[thelegendsociety]

@410VINO4RMTHA17 thank you kindly Tone Trezure @FlyGirlTONE

[TheFashon91]

Ignorance at it's finest @uptownsean... what makes her oprah? because she's of african descent and heavy set? smh

[MrCommenterguy]

@TheFashon91 Some people can't appreciate top class music. Ignore the narrow minded.

[thelegendsociety]

@TheFashon91 don't be razzled by his comments. He stated his opinion of me which never bothers me at all. Bless you brother!! Latonya Givens

[tpriest1914]

She has a beautiful voice.

[uptownsean]

I did not know Oprah could sing!

[ChrisRod92]

@1:30 Lyrcs: Faith has a bode that you'll never know? Only thing that makes sense for me. Cant wait for this to drop i been waiting almost 8 months now

[jamaicaqueens22]

I got chills from that

[machineguncity]

Is this really Jay Electronicas Channel?!!?!!!

[mexicoorbust03]

i wish i was on that plane so bad...

[drew324]

1:03 my exact facial expression when i heard her start to sing to the riff

[bfaouri]

are you kidding me Latonya.. give us more of your voice, where can i get a whole record with your songs. this song does give the chills. .

[PdubzCrew]

That lady has pure, raw talent.

True music and feel. It's about time..thank you Jay E and Latonya Gene

[thelegendsociety]

@PdubzCrew you are so welcome.  God Bless you!! @FlyGirlTONE

[realseantabiri]

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM IM BUYING 5 COPIES

[consmo]

beautiful music from a beautiful soul

[thelegendsociety]

@consmo thank you

[MrCommenterguy]

Personally I think it needs more promotion, he needs to open up for cole, mos def, talib kweli, jay z and kanye and anyother real rappers with tours lined up THEN drop the album so it can have enough impact to be a classic. Right now it looks like it's gonna be a silent drop. Trust, me it hurts me to say this cos I can't wait longer myself.

[MrCommenterguy]

@m4cklove stop making jigga seem like a boogie man, he got love for jay E and wants him to drop aclassic so he's making it perfect. Listen to shiny suite theory and tell me he didn't drop as much knowledge as Jay Elect? Trust, once it comes out it will be worth it, and I bet it will be this year, I've been keeping a close eye on his twitter/tumblr and the stuff he has been posting/saying. This year I put my money on.

[m4cklove]

how is jay-z ever gonna make this album come out..its maybe too uplifting for the people ... a shift of energy in music maybe

[pottingerf]

did he say god or something else



[citoak]

If you dont get chills when you hear this you need to get your central nervous checked out!!

[MrCommenterguy]

@thelegendsociety if you are in touch with jay electronica regularly, tell him to drop the album!!! This dude is giving me sleepless nights! Tell him to atleast keep the fans clued up, drop some info every now and then! LOL. I wish health and prosperity. Peace.

[VirginiaTagz]

I'm gonna play this video everyday until I die. unless Jay drops Act II before then.

[PdubzCrew]

That lady sounds like an original soul musician. Love how Jay Electronica is using her on the album..what a genius.

Coleworld and Act 2 will be amazing albums

[thelegendsociety]

@PdubzCrew thank you bless!!

[VirginiaTagz]

We gotta murder the crowd now. Kill all the witnesses.

[KevthePoet]

"Ladies and gentlemen... LOVE is the only thing that can save us all...." Jay Electronica. ‎"...stick to the script like paperclips and coffee stains,

never let a seed of doubt deter you from your lofty aims..." - Jay Electronica

[JBC16]

I want to say since 04-05 there hasn't been a solid hip-hop album that's dropped where everybody's like "whoa"...God willing when he drops this its gonna be like that "whoa" of our time...and this album only has two options: Game Changer or Complete Flop...no in betweens...too many albums coming out lately have been in the "in between"

[thelegendsociety]

yes it is really me. Thank you sooo much.  You can follow me on twitter @IamLatonyaGene too.

[lutzebjoern]

You are a blessing! I thank god for giving me the privilige to listen to your haevenly voice! Please produce many many songs for us, so that we can participate in your great talent.

[MrCommenterguy]

@thelegendsociety is that really you?! I'm subscribing, most powerful voice I've heard in a LONG time.

[MrCommenterguy]

@blackberries69 Jay Electronica- Act 2 Patents of Nobility (the turn)

[Ewanyeki]

eargasim

[jnthenge]

@Ewanyeki , being strumming the chords on my ka ngita, but not blessed with her voice. Hope your well dude! 

[Ewanyeki]

@jnthenge im good bro! never knew you played... just tried on my karumbeta...

[Ewanyeki]

her voice makes me smile

[thelegendsociety]

Thank you EVERYONE for all the love. It is overwhelming to see all of you who enjoy the music and are touched by my singing... Latonya Gene

[ceaso21]

@thelegendsociety beautiful..

[MrCommenterguy]

@thelegendsociety Out of interest, do you just do rappers hooks? Or are you working on a solo project? Give me info on that- cos I'd definitely buy a solo project tbh. Peace.

[QStormItch]

@thelegendsociety thank you so much for this piece of rare art, you are truly blessed... respect

[josephmarruffo]

hope these major record labels wont set back his potential

[Maestrosik]

MUSIC IS BACK?!!!........ Roc Nation

[YellaPtv]

Yesss!

[thegoldenhero]

i need this shit to drop 

[chaddiboy]

did any thing ever become of this?...really wanna hear the full song #seriousquestionnotabullshitco­mment

[MrCommenterguy]

I need a release date, the tension is gonna end me.

[MrCommenterguy]

"I'm telling you this album is gonna be a classic. It makes me forget sometimes about cole's album dropping, no offense to Cole. Elect IS the future and I have no doubts this album is bigger than we think- did you see her face when she said she was grateful to be on elects album??! electronica is shooting for something different from everything else and it's gonna be perfect. It's gonna be a classic."

[MrCommenterguy]

I NEED a release date, and his twitter has been mysteriously deleted so I can't keep up to date. The tension is gonna be the end of me.

[MrCommenterguy]

I'm telling you this album is gonna be a classic. It makes me forget sometimes about cole's album dropping, no offense to Cole. Elect IS the future and I have no doubts this album is bigger than we think- did you see her face when she said she was grateful to be on elects album??! electronica is shooting for something different from everything else and it's gonna be perfect. It's gonna be a classic.

[whatthehellvideos]

this is why i love jay-z he signs the two best mcs of this decade and the new roc-a-fella/good music is gonna save hip hop

[drumlineheartbeat]

WHEN CAN I GO AND SPEND MY HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS?

[OCtheGreat]

Who is that one person that dislike this video????????????

[African012]

I listen to this everyday,,can't wait to hear jay flow over the beat

[hemyiat]

VIVA LA REVOLUCION.



[Sooners4ever25]

@voirdireproject

Yea and I wrote The Blueprint II and Nas's It was Written. Tons of people can print documents and say they did this and wrote this and that but you would believe what someone puts on YouTube. Wow

[345XXL]

where is the k'naan/ electronica collab? ...seriously get on tht

mogadishu meets new orleans ;)

[09robinsona]

rap is not a game. it is music and it is beautiful. the garbage that people hear over and over again is trash talking with rhythm but not this. don't be fooled by the foolers

[voirdireproject]

Jay Electronica DID NOT WRITE ACT I or Exhibt A,B,or C. Search Carter Whitelow Act I to gather information on this. He more and more I gather information about it the more I believe it.

[DirkBrougham]

@voirdireproject Music is pretty good. But your lyrics are closer to "good" than to the "nearlifechanginggreat" that Jay Electronica is. The "Eternal Sunshine" you claim you wrote, "Dimethyltriptamine", "The Announcement", "Dear Moleskine", and so on...are levels lyrically above what you say is the natural progression of the book of yours you claim he stole . Your music is above average. But not enough for me to forget the difference between a Tsunami and a surfing wave. 8d is greater than 3d.

[alexanderkenniethbam]

when is this coming out?

[bigsoso20]

Jay Electronica seems like a very intelligent guy must be a pleasure to be around, the guy looks like he knows what he stands for, i'm just upset that he wasnt discovered earlier coz we wouldve had some Hip Hop.

[Nerdbama]

He said that Act II was finished and I cannot wait to hear it..This man will set the bar so high whenever he decides to drop something new...He's the best MC in the world IMO...Hearing him rap is like listening to a preacher or listening to a college professor..He's a blessing..Thanks jay elect..Keep up the good work bro.....Much love.....

[merkingGuy]

@Nerdbama too true my brother, spreading love, pollinating the ear buds

[Studdthachamp]

I swear I jus closed my eyes and listened and a tear almost drooped....

[thevgmk1]

@Studdthachamp

I was in the room when this was being recorded and had to run out and find a quiet place to cry. You had to be there to feel the power of her voice.

[thelegendsociety]

@thevgmk1 Bless you. I let God lead my vocals.

[SinJersey]

"love is the only thing that can save us all" damn I love this skit--- when u gonna drop that album you taking long #musicJunkie

7OD

[Alternate511]

Looking forward to the Act ll. No rush or nothing. When it comes out, it comes out.

I like that he's taking his time with this, it shows his commitment and passion for the Hip Hop art. At least it's real rap music with a soul, that I can finally take seriously. Do your thing Jay.

[ItsAllAboutDaU305]

In love.

[thegoldenhero]

i am not even rushing this anymore i know when it comes out it will be incredible

[FromTheNati]

the person who disliked this is quadriplegic

and deaf (p.s quadriplegic can move there arms so he type in the name but what i was meaning by it is he could not feel the song and deaf b/c he could not hear the song he aslo had complusive arm movement causing him to push dislike )

[pepula]

This is so beautiful I just want to cry...

[tonedogsblue]

[Tyzz]

[merkingGuy]

Going on assumptions!

I am putting trust into Wiki on this one.

[merkingGuy]

[mooncooninc83]

No offense, but this just made me love being black that much more lol.

All ppl do music. All ppl sing.

......

But not like us.

[merkingGuy]

@mooncooninc83 im white, and thats a true say brother, deep spiritual connections is what im saying

[raekwondachef1]

there are only a few things in the world that are powerful enough to send uncontrollable, nervous shivers/twitches through my body. This chorus is one of them.

[thelegendsociety]

I appreciate the one dislike. AWESOME!!!!!!! Latonya Gene

[HighGradeTV1]

[TheMostHigh]

[FatihMedia]

Everytime I feel love. I feel like a better man. It feels like my self-esteem went higher. Like there's still hope in the world.

And everytime Iisten to Jay Electronica, J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar. I feel there's still hope for hip-hop.

And not to mention a possible comeback from Mase :)

[sunn646]

1 person couldn't be saved by Love

[reem215]

@sunn646 lol....true dat

[babyjay809]

love is the only thing that can save us all cause its the only thing we can feel and can change us completely love makes us want to help one another love makes us want to change the world cause it makes us realize the reality we are surrounded by

[LpxMusic]

It pains my heart to see that this video has even one dislike.

[LeTzGoBmX]

Jay Period. That's all i have to say. Those other niggas are whack and that's an actual fact...Thumbs up if heard Jay say "God is the only thing that can save us all," and not love is the only thing that can save us all.

[dredknots1]

her voice is sublime.......! Is there a full length movie???? Where is it?

[CrispySOB]

Albums gonna be monumental...at least I hope

[merkingGuy]

@CrispySOB you dont have to hope, i know act 2 will be crazy. jay wont let us down

[hanadd21]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Ladies and Gentlemen ,Love is the only thing that could save us all

[eurocarsonly07]

This will be the first album i've bought in years. Music has been so fraudulent and dumbed down that nobody out right now is worth spending money on. And its been like that for years. I'm buying more than one copy when this shit drops.

[goodmusic009]

@eurocarsonly07 im buying 3 copies, and any memorabilia that is related to this project. I feel like it's so far away from being released though.

[merkingGuy]

@goodmusic009 May 3rd brother

[goodmusic009]

@merkingGuy may 3rd?? where did you hear that from?

[goodmusic009]

@merkingGuy is may 3rd a solo release or is that the project he was supposed to do with lil b? lol. any information would be greatly appreciated homey

[TheRealJimmyDigital]

@eurocarsonly07 100 % agree

[greekmavros]

@eurocarsonly07

you don't buy Lupe albums?

[ClickKlatt21]

@eurocarsonly07 definitely down for supporting the cause but you're not gonna go get two copies

[eurocarsonly07]

@ClickKlatt21 lol I always have with whichever artist I fully support. Good music is priceless.

[DeaflyBlind]

@eurocarsonly07 lupe fiasco

[blackberries69]

@eurocarsonly07 what album is this?

[BlackKingsEnt]

sooo good, hits the soul



[TheRealJimmyDigital]

Incredible. Hip Hop & Soul is Live & Well.

[DewaldV001]

Nice...

[usmarineoneil]

Patiently waits for Act II, Jay Electronica and J Cole will bring some balance back to the rap game. I'm all for having a good time and partying, but rap can't be all about that all the time. It's people going through stuff out here and no one is speaking about it, well not on the mainstream level. This rap game needs a revolution!

[IVIonkey123]

@usmarineoneil Perfectly said.
