September 11, 2015: Just Blaze offers his latest update on Act II. Cole have multiple albums out while Jay continues to make us wait. I’m sorry, whoever your favorite rapper is, they all know that I’m the God.” Hip-hop fans were quick to point out that both Drake and J. Cole, for unknown reasons, wasn’t spared either: “I’m sorry but J. “Man Up” is the end result.Īugust 19, 2015: “You might be the 6 God, but I am the God,” Jay Electronica said during a live performance in London. July 22, 2015: The method to Jay Electronica’s madness finds him turning to Twitter (again), where he gives a fan an opportunity to release a new unreleased song. But for the most part the core of the album is there. The reality of it is there’s like a couple of songs that maybe he needs to do a verse over on…Maybe a song or two that needs maybe a string arrangement or something. Just in terms of like-not that it needs more songs. “He’s just in his own zone and he’s gonna do it when he’s ready…I feel like the album needs a slight bit more touching up.
He texted me two days ago like ‘Yo, do you really think I should put out this record as a single?’ He’s still formulating it in his head.” The album’s great and it’s not like he’s not thinking about it. Two or three new songs the last time I was out in London. "Did overdubs, tied songs together, and then added maybe like two or three new songs. “He did a lot of the beats himself then I came in and produced the songs," Blaze said. Is this train circling the entire universe first?
Just adds that he loves to use the phrase “my train’s on schedule.” Well, damn. The main takeaway is that Jay Electronica is moving at his own pace. September 30, 2013: During a rather a dry year (with the exception of “ Control,” where Jay's stellar verse was overshadowed), the only information we received about Act II didn’t come from the man himself, it was through a Just Blaze interview. The album boasted big features from Jay Z, Diddy, Kanye West (twice!) and even former president Ronald Reagan. If a tracklist existed, this meant Act II was completed. July 28, 2012: Over the years, Jay Electronica utilized Twitter to drop hints about his impending debut album, but the biggest glimmer of hope arrived midsummer 2012, when he tweeted a tracklist that has since been deleted. No clue if the two ever made any music together, but if this came to fruition, it’d be the definition of “breaking the internet.” Oh, and a collaborative EP with Lil B was in the works too. So, what happened? Did tomorrow never come? Has time just been frozen in Jay’s world? Technically, this was him tweeting his album would be turned in tomorrow, March 9, but if it was done in 2011, it would’ve been turned in. March 8, 2012: Remember when Jay Electronica said his album was done and only a few people have heard it in its entirety? He must’ve lied or had deja vu, because he said that he finished the album again over half a year later. On the night of his signing, Jay Z threw a party at New York’s The Box to announce Electronica’s Roc Nation deal and the new signee performed “The Announcement." This was the moment he coined the “hurts when breathe” phrase. This happened after a bidding war ensued, which included Diddy, who expressed his frustration on Twitter a few days later. November 12, 2010: Jay signs to Roc Nation and begins the long road to releasing his debut album, Act II. However, he didn't rule out a release before the end of the year. His next (rumored) release date came two years after the first, but Just Blaze quickly shut that down. Let the wait begin.ĭecember 25, 2009: Jay Elect likes Christmas quite a bit. Nas and Guilty Simpson were revealed as guest features. At the time, Jay used MySpace to let his fans know that more than 10 tracks were coming with production from Hi-Tek, Madlib, Mr. This is the timeline of Act II, a timeline that now stretches more than eight years.ĭecember 25, 2007: While a little known fact, Act II's first release date was supposed to be Christmas in '07.
