How I Met Jay Electronica…

Damn, I can't believe I don't have a better picture... but its him allright.

I’ve been a big fan since the beginning. I may Jay Elect in New Orleans in early 2007. We have a mutual friend that introduced us and later we worked in the studio together. We (me and some young N.O. producers) played him tracks and he played us some tracks (over Madlib, Dilla, and Mr. Porter beats). He rapped over one of my tracks.

Unfortunately we have lost contact in the past year and understandably so. With the Nas album and their growing relationship, his undeniable buzz on the Net, Rock the Bells Tour, and his upcoming solo disc- I’m glad to just have the opportunity to have met him. He was an incredibly well spoken, thoughtful, and humble dude. It was hard not to like him. We all smoked together and watched Children of Men (on a killer Bootleg). Shout out to 2dopeboyz for a great blog.

Here’s a vid I snatched from 2dopeboyz.com, probably my favorite hip hop blog. It basically sums up how bad ass Jay elect is.

Lupe Fiasco New VIDEO! Paris, Tokyo

All I have to say is there is a Music God. One of my favorite songs on The Cool is now a video!

Well put together concept and perfectly conceived in this mini-movie.

Low on flash, High on Class… PLUS-

Lupe on a Train, Lupe on a Plane,

Lupe on a Camel, Lupe on a Motorcycle.

Love how each verse is a different place – Paris, Cairo, Tokyo.

Just a little disappointed that New Orleans was only represented in word and not picture.

Its all good though. Except…. is Lupe wearing makeup? Mascara?

I know its probably normal with large budget videos but his eyelashes loop particularly…

Girly.
