I finally got around to listening to Jay Electronica. I'm late but I've been making up for it over the last week by listening to heaps of his stuff. He might not 'save hip hop' but the mixtape is definitely one of the highlights of the year.
You should check it out if only for the song 'Dimethyltriptamine' where Jay's in the Tom Waits zone over a sick Dilla beat:
"Pigs with the heads of men spat acid
That lasered my third eye closed like lasik
A midget in the casket like a baby in the bonnet
With a bottle and a basset horn
Playing the theme song from Children of the Corn"
Classic.
