Jay electronica a written testimony3/5/2023 Of course, I understand that rappers are inveterate conspiracy theorists - The “Illuminati” is only the biggest. But neither is raised cogently enough as a contrast to justify toying with such grotesque ideas. Of course, it also forces you to reckon with the crimes of the occupation of Palestine and the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan. The Rothschild reference could be explained away by his romantic involvement with one, and I could hope (without really believing) Jay was being uncharacteristically imprecise with his language, using the word “Satan” when expressing solidarity with Palestine. Tracks one and two feature a stirring section of oratory from the vile anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. The album –and it’s not the first - presents the Nation of Islam as a locus for resistance, which would be fine, were it not for where that ends up. The soul stormcloud double punch of Shiny Suit Theory and Universal Soldier. The cutlery draw clatter of Ezekiel’s Dream. Neverending Story takes its beat not from drums, but texture - from the chord changes, the authority of the voice. The Blinding assimilates the trappy, bleary-eyed croon of Travis Scott with Nyamwezi chants from Tanzania. So the blast of Ghost of Soulja Slim contains Fellini-score guitars and shimmering strings and bellowing drums and cheering children, Jesus Christ is that a sqeezebox? The beats throughout are grand and cinematic, returning to the sonic palette popularised by J Dilla/Madlib, and showing how much life and richness - melodically, sonically, rhythmically - is left in that aesthetic. In this way, and others, it resembles Percee P’s Perseverance. Jay looked like he was done talking, though.Jay Electronica’s long awaited debut, A Written Testimony, has one of those pleasing contrasts - only available to people talented enough to have stayed relevant for a decade without releasing an album and thus rare outside hip hop - of the veteran with a lot left to prove. Rosenberg responded by telling Electronica he has a public forum if they want to discuss the lyric in question. J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A March 15, We gon seeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEeeeeEEEEeeeeeeee. #AWrittenTestimony #ISaidWhatISaidĪnd btw, if you REALLY wanna get into it, we are willing to hold a discussion in a PUBLIC FORUM on The Synagogue of Satan and it’s meaning with any Scholars of Theology you would like to bring. I stand on every single word i said on this album. #AWrittenTestimony #ISaidWhatISaid and btw, if you REALLY wanna get into it, we are willing to hold a discussion in a PUBLIC FORUM on The Synagogue of Satan and it’s meaning with any Scholars of Theology you would like to bring. let’s keep it that way.Ĭlout chasing us at an all time high. So what #AWrittenTestimony made you go back and listen to BITWTI and you were retro offended? if you have a problem w the term Synagouge of Satan, don’t take it up w me, take it up w the writers of the New Testament. J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A March 15, 2020 we’re you offended then? then you quoted better in tune w the infinite which was released in 2014 We sat down in an interview before and talked about my stance in these matters and it’s there for anyone to go pull up. I don't find the intro with the Minister offensive actually also I was referring to one of Jay's bars. we’re you offended then? then you quoted better in tune w the infinite which was released in 2014 so what #AWrittenTestimony made you go back and listen to BITWTI and you were retro offended? if you have a problem w the term Synagouge of Satan, don’t take it up w me, take it up w the writers of the New Testament. "We sat down in an interview before and talked about my stance in these matters and it’s there for anyone to go pull up. lol my bad.songs dope besides that cringe thoughĮlectronica responded to all of this, saying he should take his issues with the writers of the New Testament. the line this time is "The synagogue of Satan want me to hang by my collar". when I googled "Synagogue of Satan" - I mistakenly assumed Jay only said it once. He later corrected himself on the lyric, referencing Jay's second mention of the Satan line on "Ghost of Soulja Slim." "And I bet you a Rothschild I get a bang for my dollar/The synagogue of Satan want me to hang by my collar," he raps.Īpologies I quoted the wrong song.
