Jay Electronica — Live at Bonnaroo.

Whether you love hip-hop like me, or don’t think you “get” it… CHECK THIS OUT.

Let me put it simply: Jay Electronica is the only true MC out there right now.

So, if want to enjoy an amazing 30 minutes tonight, put on your favorite headphones, grab a snack, chill out, and turn it up. This is a blast. And unless you’ve heard Jay Electronica before, I guarantee this is not what you might expect. His style is so classic and yet so incredibly original at the same time. And listening to this, I realized: unlike some of the new kid rappers out there, he truly is best experienced live.

I hope to God he doesn’t succumb to the suits & champagne culture now that he’s with Roc Nation. As much as I am a lifelong fan of Jay-Z, Jay Elect is on a whole other level of enlightenment. Hope he can hold onto it and put out an “official” album worthy of his genius.
