It was incredibly jarring to hear Diddy<\/a> on the new Jay Electronica album. Recently, the New Orleans rapper surprisingly dropped A Written Testimony: Leaflets<\/em> on Friday (Sept. 19th). However, the first words you hear aren\u2019t from him, they\u2019re from Diddy. On the intro \u201cAbracadabra<\/a>,\u201d he addresses the state of hip-hop as a genre and larger culture, echoing sentiments that it\u2019s dead or close to it. Consequently, he emphasizes Electronica is equipped to save it and that people wait so long for him to drop because they know he can do it. <\/p>\n \u201cHip-hop is in a very, very dangerous place, you know,\u201d Diddy tells Jay Electronica on the intro. \u201cGive them that shit, you know what I\u2019m saying? Live at they souls, lift up they vibration. That\u2019s what God sent you here to do, you know? That\u2019s why we wait so long. We wait for things that are good \u2018cause good things come to those who wait\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Additionally, Electronica addresses<\/a> Diddy more directly \u201cFour Billion, Four Hundred Million 4,400,000,000 \/ The Worst Is Yet To Come.\u201d<\/p>\n On the record, he says that lived with the disgraced Bad Boy mogul once upon a time ago. However, he also notes that he wasn\u2019t in any legal documentation that would tie him to his actions either. \u201cI was living with puff and cash and never showed up in the affidavit,\u201d he raps. \u201cI\u2019m a smoother criminal than Michael Jackson maybe.\u201d<\/p>\n While the actual living together remains a bit unclear, Jay Electronica definitely held a close relationship with Puff once upon a time ago. Moreover, amidst his trial, the rapper showed up outside the courthouse with his two dogs, \u201cout here supporting my brother\u201d when addressing<\/a> a TMZ reporter. <\/p>\n In the meantime, Diddy will remain in prison until his sentencing on October 3rd. <\/p>\n \n<\/div>\nJay Electronica References and Features Diddy on New Album<\/h2>\n
