Jay Electronica - Annakin's Prayer

[catdog1412]

Flash Gordon sample

[SmooveTheKing]

What beat is this ? O.o

[AR15SHOTS2U]

Bring me..the Boar Wormz.....classic

[KieseWatson7]

Annakin= Annunaki

[DoubleAA3000]

He keeps saying "snup."

[JesseKolp]

Is this Tyler the Creators influence in life you think?

[FatAlbert917]

This sounds like something you'd play backwards to reveal a secret message...

[7mvproy]

J - Man

[Ringolero]

Is it only me who thinks he sounds like Killa Priest? Style too

[SantaBadd]

@Ringolero  Lunatic.

[VAbornnbred]

i'll admit i clicked on this song purely because of the title

[Ringolero]

This is pure gold! Beat is impervious!

[aacompton94]

i hate it when you try to listen to a good rapper but you cant understand what their saying >=/

[Drhughjanis]

@aacompton94 It's all about listening to the point of knowing. You have to dissect everything jayE says. then you know exactly what he is saying, he wants you to listen repeatedly of course

[RayRay3686]

@Drhughjanis Its for the people who want to know. Its as simple as that. Hundreds of thousands of people wouldn't know of Nikola Tesla if it wasn't for Exhibit A.

[tarjay35]

If this is called Annakin's prayer why did they use a Flash Gordon clip? I like the song, just curious...

[norcaliSavior]

@tarjay35 the whole theme of the song dictates the name not the clip

[tarjay35]

@norcaliSavior Ah, I see. Well, alright then.

[TheCmac1]

i even fool myself... priceless

[Dvicious]

"I was a young lad, three stooges, superman, batman, the riddler, moonwalk, windmill, freeze for the picture" that line is sick

[FACE26526]

Christ has so much for u fuck the earth

[MrAYOV]

"I even fool myself I'm ah slick mafuckah" Dam.....

[Awnunn1]

"She ain't know? That innocent shit with Obi-Wan behind a Jedi back could turn Annakin to Vader"........

That's Heavy.

[Primal141]

Duuude??? Bwahahahaha!!!...anyway...nigg­a watches to many movies...that shit is corny...and the recent star wars flicks sucked ass I wouldve said something like..."return of the mic jedi"...now thats tight

[rapperOHM]

@Primal141 if you listen to thong the few starwars references he does make come from the newer movies and the original trilogy, it's about having that similar fate to annakin, a chosen one who has to walk the path of evil in order to reach good in the end. fool.

[Primal141]

annakins prayer...what kinda dumb shit is that?...looool

[1moomed23]

@Primal141 Dude its a reference to Anakin skywalker from star war. Jay is a mad genius for this track if you watch the movie, this shit will hit you hard. In simple term he is painting the different forces in Anakin, which shape his creed, hence the title Anakin Prayer, its pretty ill.

[Dvicious]

anyone know where this instrumental is from, if I can get my hands on it, if it's an original beat specifically for this track ?

[MrEdge20]

Troy Davis

[BEmagiK]

This song has so much deph to it, dont cross a good soul or he/she will turn into a cold calculated beast (vader). 

[CENIE01]

If he was to ever make an album he must fear his life since America likes to kill our leaders...

[blairduboir]

OH SHIT... THIS SHIT CRAZY,

[mostdopeJordan]

k he's got amazing lyrics but he doesn't use them right. he sounds kinda boring and as much as i wanna listen to him, i just can't. his lyrics are incredible though but it's just his sound...

[ackapollo]

@mostdopeJordan I actually really love that monotone Mf Doom type flow man Its whats makes him so goood.

[mostdopeJordan]

@ackapollo i dont like it. there's no emotion. he could be huge if he could improve his delivery and sound. flow isn't thaat great either..

[ackapollo]

@mostdopeJordan lol *rolls eyes* your missing the whole point of this sometimes art can be on that monotone and sitll be alot more impacting thn emotional stuff man. He has emotinal flows on other tracks but on this he is just laying down something incredible . the FLOWS IS FUCKING INSANE are u kidding me man his delivery and sound are fucking ill as fuck you really dont know what ur talking about.

[mostdopeJordan]

@ackapollo art is supposed to be entertaining. this isnt very entertaining to most people. there's hardly any emotion & his voice doesn't help make it entertaining.. you clearly dont know what flow on a rap song is. hes rapping in the same boring tone of voice the entire song. thats NOT flow. Youre the one who doesnt know what hes talking about. youre just on his dick so much you cant & wont realize that his delivery, flow & sound is boring and sucks. its a shame cause only his lyrics are great

[mikethevicious]

@mostdopeJordan obviously you never seen star wars..... dude is relating himself to the whole story

you just dont understand

[MrUniqueosmosis]

@mostdopeJordan go listen to big sean or wiz dont come and listen to real rap he's rapping like that for a reason

[Fredfiness]

@mostdopeJordan I've heard his mixtape and he has flow, it's just this song. Want to hear an extreme example? Cannibus.

[blkmatt83]

@mostdopeJordan track went over your head bro, sorry.

[SLAMITORJAMIT]

sick

[EnterEdreese]

This shit blew my mind and it's been on repeat for the past 2 hours.

[perutnt1]

yo chek out my musik

inkuh

L.A.

killa Cali

[beastmodelevel22]

wooooaaahh

[MegaGravityBong]

Jay Electronic is spitting on some double entendre shit because the song can be understood and/or interpreted in two ways. Dude has a talent (and I know not at double entendres, but as a whole as a lyricist).

[clownprince1994]

My grandma taught me courage,

she told me never let the grizzly bears eat your porridge....

-grizzle bears (goverment/ politicians)

-porridge (your money)

[Amaan305]

@clownprince1994 i think the metaphor ment Grizzly bears( Dream Killers) Porridge(Dreams)

[moballardful]

@clownprince1994 how do you know this?

[JazzyChewBazzy]

@clownprince1994 wow what a stretch!

[FatAlbert917]

@JazzyChewBazzy that's what she said...

[Midironica]

@clownprince1994 I am a Grizzly bear and I find this offensive. You tell that Goldelocks to stop eating my sons porridge and then we can talk.

[perutnt1]

No one is probably gonna read this,

Im just gonna write it any way because i feel at least one person will,

i'm a musician. i know theres like 100k of those in this world lol

But I'm different promise that.. if u give me a chance ill show u

I would love nothing more than to have a decent following on youtube from people

if anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" other people will see it

just a simple button press could make my dream come true =) Thank You-inkuh

[504deeznuts]

a beast! New Orleans is here!

[common380]

@504deeznuts Baton Rogue

[504deeznuts]

@common380 dats where you from? not Jay E, he from The 3rd ward, magnolia...

[common380]

@504deeznuts I'm from Tampa, thought he was from Baton Rogue, thanks for the correction.

[uselesswater]

you got 2 bee dope... that's what Jay E is telling U.

[mrreese92]

u have to be a rap fan and a star wars fan to comprehend his lyrics.

[mikethevicious]

@mrreese92 exactly most people arent both

[mrreese92]

@mikethevicious True. What a shame. people arent going to like the song unless they are both...

[adtorres7]

Noo Nott The Boree Worms .

Thiss Shiit Is Sick



[chychy1]

channel 4 introduced me to the shit that produced hitler so ill fuck illumanati

[PThunda187]

he spelled anakin wrong

[1999cory]

@PThunda187 Lol i know right

[fateprez]

Got My Vote

[creamrulesme]

Electronica for President.

[VinnyLT9000]

6 people turned sith when master electronica revealed his supreme knowledge of the force in rap.

[gioj3]

@VinnyLT9000 The two things you don't get.....respect and pussy

[VinnyLT9000]

Your Lack of Faith in the Force is Disturbing..

Even Yoda says Size Matters not.

I see you've chosen the dark side.

[gioj3]

@VinnyLT9000

Yoda got respect and probably pussy as well and what you see could be some dark side sith basturd determinded to ruin the world with my red saber and lightening.....or some dude fucking with a jedi nerd. Either way my force makes you style look like your in..............a dark maul.

[VinnyLT9000]

@gioj3 respect = my thumbs up on both my comments and 0 on all of yours. Pussy = you ridding my dick for no reason.

The force is weak with this one. A threat.. he is not.

[mkingkilla]

this is so creative

[Whisper2771]

This beat is some real hip-hop grimy shyt! Jay is on point as usual, one of the most undarated mc's out here!

[FreedomLogic01]

who made this beat??? THAT SHIT IS DOPE!

[SupremeClyantel]

@FreedomLogic01 Jay Electronica made it.

[Jedimanny661]

the way he raps sounds like MF DOOM..

[yugiohbrain1]

@Jedimanny661

yea man i was think that to

[mont140]

nvm i listened to this its ass idk why ppl think he better than cole

[yugang08]

@mont140 *scratches head* not really sure whats ass about this song or even that victory tape but ppl think electronica is a better rhymer & More deeper artist than j. cole cause he is. J. Cole has NEVER written a song as deep like eternal sunshie or dimethyltrptamine for example. Also any record that showcases j. cole's sklls as a lyricist jay can match that times two.

[yugang08]

@mont140 i mean come on even j. cole himself said that jay electronica is on another level and pushes cole to step his skills up on the mic.

[mont140]

cole world bitch, jay e is dope too his mixtape victory was wacc though

[groove2227721]

Spend your time appreciating hip-hop as opposed to trying to impress your friends about who's wack and who's not. Because I'm too happy to listen to this brutha spit to worry about Drake, J Cole, Lil Wayne or whatever fill-in-the-blank rapper.

[supraamann]

@groove2227721 J. Cole a fill-in-the-blank rapper?aahhaa

[legooka]

@supraamann

i think he is hugely overrated. his lyrics too simple and he raps about the same things all the time. im not hating , just not a fan. but Jay is a genius

[supafamouskid]

@legooka you dont have to use longwords or complicated ryhmes to be deep.. look at kid cudi his ryhmes are almost as simple as soujah boys but at the same time just as deep of jay elec proly even more

[DangerDancer69]

@supafamouskid you fuckin ass face. all kid cudi has going for him is catchy beats and a somewhat unique flow. his lyrics dont stand for shit especially when compared to jay elec. this has nothing to do with opinion. if you think kid cudi has deep lyrics than jay elec son, you dumb. just straight up dumb.

[supafamouskid]

@DangerDancer69 catchy? kid cudi dosent really do catchy songs and his songs are deep just a different kind of deep..and why you calling me dumb for liking kid cudi a lil better then jay elect everyone got a different taste and music....calm down dude

[tameone]

@supafamouskid he kinda got a point..yes its ur opinion but lyrically and musically cudi aint even on the same level as jay elect!!!

[PowShredder801]

Jay E & Lupe.....Most intellectual poetical rappers of our time.

[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.

[SuperMegatrondon]

Oh My God, Jay Elect. Is A Cold Ass Monster,Cant Wait For His Album To Drop Niggas Gone Have A Salty Ass Taste In They Mouth, Eww

[pyro2020]

Your Lack of Faith in the Force is Disturbing

KILLED IT

[subielover93]

Anyone know where i can get his songs other than Exhibit A & C?

[Ginga]

@subielover93

On the internet. Seriously, just go to wiki page and check out his discography. The majority of the tracks are on tracks. The ones that aren't can probably be downloaded on mediafire or a similar site.

[lCL0UDl9]

Eww lol this iz Sickk!! To all tha disliking haters "Bring me... the bore worms." hahahah

"No! Not tha Bore worms!

[gfuller10]

wow i really slept on this dude maybe it was the beat but this song is sick what are some other hot joints of his im sleeping on?

[Ginga]

@gfuller10

Everything he's done. Literally. It hasn't been a lot but essentially everything this man has done has been slept on for the most part.

[Systemred88]

@gfuller10 everything man, al his music is good. just look through here on youtube. rennaisance man, exhibit A and C, victory in my clutches, the pledge, swagger jackson's revenge, so what you sayin, hagler. it goes on man, any song is out of this world lyrically and with a vision a lot dont grasp or dont want to try and think about.

[gfuller10]

@Systemred88 yeah i downloaded a lot of his mix cd's since I heard that joint, preciate that tho

[sunzyu]

@gfuller10

listen to his song with jayz called; "shiney suit theory" listen to "the ghost of christopher wallace" and probably his best song is "exhibit C"

[daylebeats]

better every time listened to interesting

[Ginga]

@daylebeats

Agreed. It's amazing how good this track is.

[Kandyman86]

Comparisons and the people who are obsessed with making them can die the same death.

[Ginga]

Raw instrumental. Love the spoken word flow. 

[rj689]

you cant put jcole and jay elec in the same category. two different subject matters jay elec is a lyricist.

[bluegale1776]

@rj689 idiot j cole is a lyricist too

[rj689]

@bluegale1776 idiot you wouldnt say that if you knew what a lyricist was, fuck you talking bout. when i say lyricist i mean jay elec, or lupe. j cole is a rapper its a big difference

[bluegale1776]

@rj689 i can see where youre coming from, keepin in mind that cole for no reason has to say nigga every 5 seconds.... but you cant take away from his lyricism, hes definitely got that. idk maybe you had a problem with some of his verses but i know ive heard some amazing lines from him that've had me thinking for days.

[amunrahII]

@rj689 cole is definitely a lyricist 

[Qdog145]

This sounds like one of those songs that you're supposed to play backwards.

[Drhughjanis]

@iiSincere1 Mmm right thats true Lupe is out of this world as well. J. Cole is good but i just don't personally like his style, but i can say clearly he is def spittin over all the gucci prada garage of garbage that ym put out for sure.

[amunrahII]

@Drhughjanis yep couldn't agree with u more

[doelow44]

THIS SHIT IS WACK....YEAH U MIGHT SAY HE'S TALKIN BOUT SOMETHING BUT IN REALITY WHAT HE'S TALKIN BOUT IS WACK TO ME.....i wouldnt even have a conversation with someone about what he be talkin bout......BULLSHIT HIP HOP LIKE THE REST JUST RAP IN A DIFFERENT WAY

[jcburke14]

@doelow44 based on your comment, I kind of doubt that you would be capable of having a conversation with someone about "what he be talkin bout." Jay Electronica has the some of the most intelligent lyrics ever put over a beat, and just because you have to think a little bit to get the message he's sending doesn't make it bad. Try opening your mind before you open your mouth

[treemanfilms]

@jcburke14 well said!

[MorpheusOneiro]

@jcburke14 damn... you didn't have to do him like that.

[holiehoodlum84]

@jcburke14 Thats too common of a problem. Very Well said. Open Your Mind BEFORE You Open Your Mouth!!! The Kings and Queens are out here now!! Run With Us or Get Yourself Dragged Down the Road. We've Tried the Subtle Nice Way, Now the Chastisement is coming.

[amunrahII]

@jcburke14 lol yea he couldn't ever understand Electronica

[MrEdge20]

@jcburke14 goooood shit!

[jordansmn]

@doelow44 You mad that he can spit better than you and your lame ass crew? Your a lame ass ignorant loser.

[414icon]

@doelow44 you aint in any place to talk shit about Jay wit all that bullshit on your page...rappin like that is definitely gonna keep your doe low.

[comedicmusician]

@iiSincere1 agreed, especially cole

[kingescobar901]

Yeah this track is hot.

[kburrell81]

greatest of all time lyrics are so powerful with meaning.............balance=su­bstance

[Drhughjanis]

jay seems to be the only storyteller in the game, instead of just spittin rhymes and one liners, dude paints a picture in your mind. The Realness.

[codelocator]

Best emcee out, period.

[imalexdavies]

@imWILLYsun KISS ON THE CHEEK?! WTF ! LOL you need that for a kiss on the cheek hahahahahaa

[meechamaka411]

I hope Jay Z didn't sign this dude to jus' to feed on Electronica's energy...like a vampire!!! This cat is ridiculous on the m.i.c...this is real hip hop!!!

[gamal01]

@meechamaka411 I think jayz is making stock market moves like buying stocks (j-cole, jay elect) that are bound to increase in value once the game (stock market) hopefully swings in the opposite direction - away from the soulja boy gucci mane n such

[rapcritic91]

diddy woulda mainstreamed the fuck outta this guy, jay z'll let him have room to do his own thing. diddy goes through artists like fiends do crackrocks

[lahism7]

dear god he's a sick maafvucer!!!!!!!!!! yeah baby we need cats like you in th!!! game right now how the fuck did jay get this cat before puff damn puff no real ninjas wanna vuk wit u

[Subconsciousaquifer]

Seriously, what's not to like about this? A very graphic MC. A lot of well placed visuals in his work. His uniqueness is in his mood and charisma. His delivery is not just of good rhymes but of a very interesting human being, someone you don't just want to listen to, but want to know. I'd definitely peep the documentary. Some emcees are killing it, while some are instilling it.

[gedbeat15]

what's that sound clip in the intro? star wars right?

[Richishot2]

@gedbeat15 The intro is from 'Flash Gordon' the movie 1980.

[hegotdat]

he is o.k but wont be here in a year .

he will be overexposed and spent

plus as gatx45 pointed out sounds like killah priest

im not impressed and i love pussy

[lil0ze]

ok... what just happened to this song, he said "look at this bitch smilin in a nigga face" earlier today, now bitch is scrathed out. either im tripping or this shit just changed somehow

[gatx45]

Jay elect for president!! I hope this hip hop shit swings back in this direction!!!

[gatx45]

@hegotdat

I strongly disagree. I am a die hard fan of the wu, gravediggaz, sunz of Man, and killah priest. If you listen to his mixtape/album you'll see ho biggs up Ghost And Rae. He knows his shit.Ni@@a im far from slow. Jay E is not biting his style, hes KILLING his style nigga. I hate to say it but KIllah Priest sucks now!!! Jay elect is Killing 85% of all dese niggas, 10% got his back , and the remaining 5%, Well @hegotdat you might be too slow to understand what im talking about....

[hegotdat]

@gatx45 welll i havent listen to killah priest in years but jay elecstronomer would not hav been able to deal with priest in his prime...jay could not hav been one of the horseman..he is an above average lyricist and emcee nowhere near exceptional which is what k.p once was... u.said 1 week ago that jay is killin k.p with his own style if if u werent slow youd realize that means jay.is using k.p style...did priest co sign thisdude?do a song with him? idk? u tell me? if not niiga dats biting

[AwillzProductions]

@gatx45 That was a dope break down! Ha! Big ups.

[docbaddoc]

HOPE THE ALBUM DROPS SOON!!!!!

[docbaddoc]

AYO I KINDA SLEPT ON THIS DUDE A FEW YRS AGO BUT THIS NIGGA'S AMAZING!!!!

[hegotdat]

this nigga sucks

[MrIjerk95]

@hegotdat

push that negative into the oblivion

[keezydadon]

@hegotdat Are you kidding?

[hegotdat]

@keezydadon no....relative to the hype he is not living up to to all the great shit i been hearing about him..if niggas never said nothing id prbly say he good but when u factor in my expectations that brings down his rating...yeah im real comfortable saying this niggas sucks..he gotta bigass head to..dis nigga pose to be the underground messiah and he already doing mountain dew commercials ..."black" people dont drink no motherfukn mountain dew dog..what kind of shit he tryna pull.. plus

[gatx45]

Jay elec is a problem!!!! he murdering killah priest wit his own style!!!!!

[hegotdat]

@gatx45 u must b slow. eloctronika not even close...u cant murder someone by biting their style ...feces, is all biting leads to..jay just ate of the fruit from the tree that killah priest done produced

[ish233]

Great beat again, I like the voice electric parallel connect. It's a good one, it's very reminiscent of Doom style, but still very interesting.

[OldshcoolTypeSoul]

This is poetry.

[knockout01]

This guy is sickkk

[simplynumba1]

The four people who disliked this are probably convinced that Mr. Carter Whitelow wrote this track

[jestoril75]

This is a vivid essay condensed in the form that we all love. That is the definition of hip hop, troop.100

[iamDuce]

I Fucks wit this man. I am impressed.

"I can slay a devil when I see one, STEADY practice

mastery of self so as not to be one..." lol yea!! Das what's good.



[1manga1artist1]

isnt da beginning from gordons fire or sumin lik dat..???

[MrSeven31]

@superman200000-pharoahe monch can hangout real tough w Jay Elec

[stackboiiz]

Okey someone break down this song 4 me..., i seem 2 be missing something

[dcarlos187]

[lupe4eva]
