Please release Act II. Please please please. I mean this on some homoerotic, way too loving shit. Some stan shit.
I'm not dumb. The arrival of Act II isn't going to destroy Worldstar, kill Lil B, ressurect Big L and make Kanye remember why we fell in love with him in the first place. The c-section on 2dopeboyz will still take shots, and talentless, piece of shit, pretentious bloggers will still write articles about how terrible it is. Time won't stop, racism won't end, and it sure as fuck won't push Jay-Z to a billion.
But it's going to be beautiful. This I know.
Jay-Z said it best when he called you a wizard. That's how I feel when I listen to you. I don't only feel hyped, I feel real shit. And that's what I want out of my rap. I want to feel. I want to learn and I want to be pushed. I want to, for 4 or 5 minutes, believe, and have hope. And this is how I feel with your music. The Announcement? Shiny Suit? Jazzmattaz? Ghost of Christopher Wallace? Something to Hold On To? Eternal Sunshine? I Feel Good? These are records. This isn't something some TI told you to spit, or a bunch of fucking couplets about your swag.
This is magnificently written music. This is legendary shit.
And don't get me started on Exhibit A and C. I would kill people to be able to re-experience my first listen.
I tell myself that when your album drops I'm going to steal it off the internet as a fuck you for taking so long, but I won't. So please, come back from Africa, come out of the strange, metaphysical plane where you and DOOM smoke blunts all day, send Erkyah back to 3k, say goodbye to Christopher Wallace for a little bit and come hang out with the living.
Because you're going to prove Jay-Z right. You're going to make Diddy's non-commercial, soul-sucking side shine a little brighter. I know you won't cause sweeping changes, or make little girls want to memorize Slaughterhouse verses. But you can inspire change, through your dedication, intelligence and thought-provoking work. Through your rapping.
For 60 minutes or so, we can ride with Jay Electronica. That's what I want. That's all I want. I know you'll never read this, but I wish you could. Drop Act II. Do it before J. Cole and Willow Smith drop a single please.
Spit that he could pass a polygraph.

I too wish I could relive the first time I heard Exhibit C. Hopefully we get that feeling with Act II soon! Great post, I feel the EXACT same way.
