Even if the album never materializes, let it be known: "Ex C" is one of the top 10 rap songs ever recorded.

I COULDNT AGREE MORE YESSSSS!!!!!!!!
Keane Carlin
I don't get the hype, it sounds like a bunch of Sean Price songs and there's some good lines, def better than 95% of hip hop now, but why is it a top 10 song? Am I missing something here?
Aerial Penn
@Keane Carlin its every line. Dude spoke about being homeless...not just homeless dude was a nomad coming from the south to the midwest and north east. It's more than just lines, Jay elect is literally spitting science, religion and mathematics here. Also the constant references to his name and the tying it to Nikola Tesla.
When I first heard this song I felt like I never heard anything like it before. different....its the energy this joint is gospel.
Jay Electronica is a special life form.
