And here it is…

You know the story, when real see real, we recognize
When you see the steel flash, you petrified
Steve Jobs seen death after just retiring
Takes vision to build, God bless the dead
That’s Mac, that’s Pac, that’s Pun, that’s Big

I was raised by America, had a baby with Erykah,
niggas started expecting the God to dress funny
although, I’m fresher than a mannequin, under pressure like Anakin,
grandma ain’t never raise a test dummy

A *very* rough demo track. Almost not worth posting. But then you consider the skills of the man rapping and you rush to listen to that shit.

Where did this version come from and why are we getting it now?

OkayPlayer explains:

If you haven’t noticed by now, Jay Electronica does his art at his own pace, with his own set of rules, and his train is always right on schedule. With a DYI approach, Jay Elect has released mixtapes and singles, created artwork and sometimes videos for them, all himself to establish and hold one of the most remarkable buzzes in Hip-Hop’s history. So much in fact that there was a bidding war to sign him and he still till this day has never released an “official” project.

So it’s no surprise then that, after taking a week long trip to Kathmandu Nepal in the fall of 2009, these Decon produced and Jason Goldwatch shot videos (part of a suite of them) were never approved by Jay, who had already made a video for “Dimethyltryptamine” (a great one, see that below), a song that he says is based on a dream he had.

Well, long story short, this is Goldwatch’s vision for what a video for this song might look like, shot on location, and I’ve been sitting on it for over a year and half. People have really enjoyed it when I’ve shared this, now you can too. Posting this in recognition of May Day tomorrow, for all the people who worked hard to create these videos, part of larger project that spans the continents.

And below is the original edit created by Jay Electronica back in 2007…

Here’s Jay Elec’s prelude to a freestyle. Prelude mind you. SMH.

This apparently is an “R.I.P Guru sendoff tribute” from Jay Elec for us peoples to listen to and love instantly cause we always do. Track is produced by Primo.

Jay Elec’s signing with Roc Nation has rubbed some people (*cough* Diddy *cough*) the wrong way. AllHipHop talks to Just Blaze about it…

Just Blaze leaves more questions than answers after AllHipHop.com asks about his relationship with Jay Electronica.

The hilarious ItsTheReal dudes just dropped their latest video:

We all know how Puffy feels about Roc Nation’s new signee, but this week on ItsTheReal.com, we explore Jay Electronica’s Decision, in Jay ElecLeBronica.

But apparently, Diddy and Jay ElecRamaddan are cool now. Check out their back and forth Twitter convo after the jump…

Jay Electronica gets signed and all of a sudden the dude’s releasing multiple songs in a day. Go figure.

This better not affect J. Cole’s release date though Hov.

Here’s the CDQ of the song Jay Elec debuted at his Roc Nation signing event the other night.

My view is aerial
Your crew inferior
My crew imperial
Mc Killers
Milk & Serial
Get it?
Forget it.
You’ll still be connecting the dots with smoking holes in your fitted
Those that got it be all at the shows throwing fits
The light from the dynasty sign froze all of the critics and nary a soul got on they frog toes ribbit

Check out the rest of the lyrics after the jump…

My view is aerial
Your crew inferior
My crew imperial
Mc Killers
Milk & Serial
Get it?
Forget it.
You’ll still be connecting the dots with smoking holes in your fitted
Those that got it be all at the shows throwing fits
The light from the dynasty sign froze all of the critics and nary a soul got on they frog toes ribbit

Shhh…
Was the night before the coming
Sugar plum candy coated lines for the dummies
Decoded hieroglyphics in the shrines for the mummies
We ain’t illuminati but out eye is on the money

My minds on the scripture
It’s beautiful, i see every line on the picture
So when the leaves Russel and the cock Crowes winter just know that the Black Gods mingled a bit
Then the fingers got pricked
Then the single got picked
Man I’m living out my brain I don’t dream about shit.
If I say dream, I mean Dream, Fresh not Hampton
I got a date with destiny I’m definitely not cancelling

Romancing
The Stone
The Roc
The Throne
The Elegant Celebration sent tremors through every nation
The Stars aligned like cars at grand central station

Elevation
Yours Truly,
My duty in obligation: The newly appointed ruler who moved with no observation like W.D.
Say my name on a record, W.W.III
I’ll put you niggas in a box like the WB
Here’s a footnote on the Blueprint
Whoms fucking with We?
Yeah
Bad grammar
Widescreen panorama
Paranormal activity seen in the camera

So if you want that turmoil
I’ll twitter facebook YouTube worldstar you
Rap radar nah right 2dopeboy you
Your plans is foiled
Your guns is borrowed
We living in tomorrow
A tissue for your sorrows

If you measure based on number of songs released, then this guy has more stans per capita than any other rapper to ever exist. No shots. Just saying.

DdotOmen dropped this track earlier and explains:

This is an unfinished version of Game’s collab with Swizzy and Jay Elec. The final version features Nas. I told ya’ll about this a while ago and was gonna let it go the same day I spoke to GAME but didn’t bother. Voila….

Anyway, this shit isn’t even mastered, it’s the same rough version Jay played for me. Enjoy though.
