Jay Electronica Willingly Leaks CD-Q Version of "Road to Perdition," 'guest starring' Jay Z (Act II?)




"Oh well, since it leaked... here's a better quality version," @JayElectronica exuberantly Tweeted early Friday morning, upon the unexpected leak of a low-quality version of his track, "Road to Perdition" 'guest starring' mentor and Roc-Nation label boss, Jay Z. It's the latest track Electronica's recorded and released 'with' Jay Z (behind "We Made It" and "Shiny Suit Theory") - 'with' in quotation marks because Jay Z's feature in question on "Road to Perdition" is more or less composed of lines sampled from his American Gangster-centric track, "Success" (2007). "Road to Perdition" in fact, first appeared on Jay Electronica's 2012 screen-grabbed 15-track Act II: Patents of Nobility (the turn) rough tracklist. Electronica's notoriously shelved album will reportedly also showcase the varied talents of Kanye, Serge Gainsbourg, Erykah Badu, Jay Z, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Puff Daddy, The-Dream, and wait for it... former President Ronald Regan!?


Despite the inherently cryptic nature of Jay Electronica's rather sparse and infrequently updated 'discography', which by my count, tallies in at right around 40 official/unofficial tracks; even attempting to compare Electronica's verbally dense word-play to that of his peers, would be something along the lines of trying to compare a dictionary to a "Learn My ABC's" book. Not entirely unlike last year's sudden "Better Tune In with The Infinite" leak, "Road to Perdition" appears to jive with Electronica's previously leaked Act II tracklist, which ?uestlove says has apparently been finished and turned in for a few years now; "[Jay Z] listens to it constantly, says it's his favorite record of 2012, [but] it has no single on it... Jay wants a single." Here's a few of my favorite bars lifted from Jay Electronica's latest sharp-tongued release, to get you hook-line-and-sinker, if you aren't already interested, for whatever reasons: "I got that black-on-black skin tone, actual-fact syndrome / That's why I dropped the jewel on every verse you heard me shit on [...] My swag is on 1.21 gigawatts, 10 trillion kilowatts / Hardcore Thriller pop, Michael Jackson, ni**a rock / Google me, baby, understand where I'm coming from / My destiny's to hit a grand slam when my number come."

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
