refreshing the boards every hour to see if he dropped it lol.

I still want to hear the version of Act II that had "Extra Extra" and "Departure", though.
3027285, Jay Elec the coolest man lol

Of course Elec found out about it on Twitter and seems cool about it all....even liking people's posts that say "he's should've released this instead of letting Hov wash him for 30 minutes on A Written Testimony"...just taking things in stride you know.

I guess it's easy to do that when the music is good....which Act II is.

Wonder if Roc Nation puts together a HQ version for us to stream and more importantly buy?

Also, I wonder how Just Blaze feels about all of this......I'd imagine his phone is blowing up today.

I'm sure this will shine an unwanted light on Group Buys and paying for leaks that been going on this last couple years.
3027286, Just Blaze answers the question....

...of course the leak isn't the final version.

Sooooo y'all gonna make some $$$ off of this or nah?
3027297, 1st time i heard about groupbuy and i wish it existed earlier.

3027304, Given this isn't the final version/clearly not properly mastered
Posted by Oak27, Mon Oct-05-20 10:14 AM
I'm gonna reserve any critiques.

It's cool that it seems like we are at least now closer to getting an official release of this album thanks to this getting Jay and Just's attention.
3027322, It's on tidal!
Posted by stone_phalanges, Tue Oct-06-20 08:20 AM
Glad to see an official way to listen.
3027324, Any link to purchase or stream not on Tidal?
Posted by cidolfas, Tue Oct-06-20 08:33 AM

3027477, There are a few links up on youtube
Posted by topaz, Tue Oct-13-20 12:45 AM
3027340, I like this more than the album with Hov
Posted by spirit, Tue Oct-06-20 07:30 PM
More sonically cohesive if you ask me.

I might have to get Tidal to listen to this at a better quality.

Peace,

Spirit (Alan)

3027372, Both albums are awesome but...
Posted by stone_phalanges, Fri Oct-09-20 09:30 AM
I'm leaning toward A Written Testimony for it's cohesiveness. As a body of work it fits so well together. It could just be because it isn't mastered (probably?) but Act II has a few songs that while good, don't fit in as well. Also, a few of the beats are kind of too sedate. To that end 'life on mars', 'better in tune', 'welcome to knightsbridge', and 'rough love' are dope, but they disrupt the flow for me.

A Written Testimony could use more meat on it's bones, but everything that is there works perfectly for me.
3027380, should have made the official a double album
Posted by Stadiq, Fri Oct-09-20 12:10 PM

Just go all in.

The Announcement
Exhibit A
Exhibit C
Jazzmatazz
Patents of Nobility with rapping
Extra Extra
Dear Moleskin
Departure (does a full version exist?)
Anakins Prayer (same?)
Swagger Jacksons Revenge

probably forgetting some

add a few other tracks we haven't heard

Boom.


Either way, its excellent and I'm glad I hadn't really listened to many of the tracks that had leaked.

Crazy. Two Jay Elect albums.
3027384, That's what i've been saying..
Posted by The3rdOne, Fri Oct-09-20 01:18 PM
3027393, Also Exhibit B with Yasiin Bey/Mos Def
Posted by phemom, Fri Oct-09-20 03:43 PM
...Just Blaze played it once on a Tony Touch show.
3027456, i have an mp3 somewhere where C mixes into A, and then mixes into B
Posted by murderbear, Sun Oct-11-20 11:33 PM
its fucking awesome
3027478, RE: should have made the official a double album
Posted by rmcphedr, Tue Oct-13-20 03:23 AM
I mean, I just want a decent version of Dear Moleskine... even with just that first verse.
3027479, The transition to Shiny Suit Theory
Posted by topaz, Tue Oct-13-20 04:49 AM
from Dinner at Tiffany's, wow. On the whole this is a great listen, just wish a properly mixed version will come out one day, as a few of the tracks are slightly messed up (usually in the final seconds), had to edit them manually on Audacity.
