The last time Jay Electronica<\/a> released a project: the first iPhone just hit the scene, \u201cCrank That (Soulja Boy)\u201d wasn\u2019t even six months old, people were waiting on the last Harry Potter book, Spotify hadn\u2019t launched in the U.S., Drake was still on Degrassi<\/em>, \u201cChocolate Rain\u201d was the meme of the moment, Bon Jovi had the number one album in the country, Rihanna and Jay-Z had the number one song, SoundCloud wasn\u2019t a thing yet, neither was Instagram, Clipse were still a group, the movie world was introduced to a CGI rat that wanted so desperately to be a chef, Keeping Up With The Kardashians<\/em> hadn\u2019t premiered their first episode, Jeezy had yet to inform the world that his president was black and his Maybach was blue, because his president was not yet black and it\u2019s unclear what color his Maybach was in 2007.<\/p>\n

After 13 years of transcendent singles (\u201cExhibit C\u201d) and strange detours over Soulja Boy beats popularized by Drake (\u201cWe Made It\u201d<\/a>), Jay Electronica returned to Twitter to announce that he\u2019s ready to release his debut album. \u201cAlbum done. Recorded over 40 days and 40 nights, starting from Dec 26,\u201d he wrote in a series<\/a> of<\/a> tweets<\/a>. \u201cReleasing in 40 days. A Written Testimony.\u201d Jay-Z\u2019s engineer Young Guru quote tweeted<\/a> Electronica, ensuring the public \u201cThis is not a drill,\u201d Just Blaze<\/a> added, \u201cAre you watching closely,\u201d and Jay-Z liked<\/a> the mini-tweet storm (the only tweets he has currently \u201cliked\u201d).<\/p>\n

Now there\u2019s a lot of eye rolls, sighs, and general reluctance to believe Electronica\u2019s word. The rapper isn\u2019t the most trustworthy person when it comes to updates about his music, but here\u2019s the thing: If you were signed by Jay-Z off<\/a> the strength of one song and allegedly got close to Rothschild money, would you<\/em> want to go through the effort of releasing a full-length rap album?<\/p>\n

Yeah, that\u2019s what I thought.<\/p>\n
