that makes zero sense, not only do people other than charles hamilton not credit famous strangers with working on their music, but the chorus "my uzi weeeeeighs a toooooon (something something walk motherfucker etc.)" is nothing like what thom yorke would sing.


>What reminds you of Thom Yorke more,
>the melody and delivery of the singing, or the beat?

the beat! and this was well before 'the eraser,' so i was going off of songs like "the gloaming" and others on 'kid a' through 'HTTT.' i was willing to give jay the benefit of the doubt that he got a beat from thom, especially in context of it clearly not sounding like thom singing and jay posting that the label "forced" him to do the song. i was suspicious enough even back then to label my file "(unconfirmed)" but didn't think it was 100% impossible. the whole thing was fishy from the start, but the beats from nottz, dilla, mr. porter, etc. were real, so why lie about the other things? anyway, i hope this thread has added to the mythos of jay electronica and enhanced our perception of the character he's created for himself.
