Juicy J Says He's Recording 75 Songs For 'Stay Trippy'
Following his career revamp with "Bandz A Maker Her Dance," his dominant presence on Rihanna's "Pour It Up" remix with Jeezy, Rozay and Tip (in my opinion), and the success of his recent "Show Out" single (I prefer the Pimp C-included remix), it's safe to say that Juicy J is in a solid stride, and with the release of his long-awaited album Stay Trippy nearing, he decided to share some words on what's going on in the back end.
Here's what he said in an interview on That Life with Carissa Rossi:
"I got over 75 songs recorded, so I just recorded a bunch of songs with a lot of different people. It wasn't like this person had to be on this one or that person had to be on that one. I was just doing songs. I would go in the studio and say, 'Let's do a song.' Sometimes I release stuff on the Internet. Sometimes I may save it for an album. It was jus...
I haven't been keeping up with this album much at all given I'm not much of a fan of The-Dream, but I figured this was worth sharing given he's got, to put it mildly, a healthy amount of followers.
What we've got here is pretty simple (and understood via the title of this article if you actually read it): The-Dream figured it worthwhile to release a free stream of his latest project, IV Play, in conjunction with Vivo as the May 28 release date approaches.
That's pretty much it. Here's the tracklist, and free stream below:
1. High Art (Feat. Jay-Z)2. IV Play3. Equestrian4. Pussy (Feat. Big Sean & Pusha T)5. Turnt (Feat. Beyoncé & 2 Chainz)6. Where Have You Been (Feat. Kelly Rowland)7. Too Early (Feat. Gary Clark Jr....
Download Everything Jay Electronica Has Ever Released
To keep things short, the good people over at No-Buzz.net tackled the arduous task of putting together a complete discography of Jay Electronica's music and features on tracks since, you know, Act II: Patents of Nobility is as likely to happen as the moon turning green, so if you're looking for something, you've got it.
Here's a bit from the release:
"It consists of 93 total tracks, including 68 solo tracks and 25 features. The 68 solo tracks also include some rough quality releases, a couple freestyles, and abridged versions of Act I, broken down in several ways as you will see in the tracklist. The 25 features also includes abridged versions of many tracks, where I’ve cut the song to only have Jay Electronica’s verse and the chorus to the track, for people like me who only want to hear Jay Elect."
So, that's pretty much it. Y...
Given 2 Chainz' height (6'5-6'6), it isn't difficult to assume that he probably bounced the rubber ball around the court a few times in his past, and with a recently leaked clip of his skills aside some comments from his former coach, it's pretty obvious (at least from this lowly journalist's standpoint) that the G.O.O.D. Music emcee maintained (or once did) a talent that supersedes his lackluster hip-hop abilities.
Here's a rundown of 2 Chainz' game from North Clayton high school coach James Gwyn and Alabama State head coach Rob Spivery:
Gwyn: "He [2 Chainz] was a tough matchup. He was a 6-5, 6-6 perimeter player. He didn't play inside at all. He could handle the ball very well, pass the ball very well. He was kind of a slippery guy. The little guys couldn't guard him and the big guys couldn't stay with him." (EPSN)
Spivery: "I took over the program in August. I coached him for the year, and he played quite a bit for us. He was a tall, thin kid, very athletic and very good ballhandling skills. He was a very good, skillful player. I always liked big point guards. We had talked about playing him at the point guard position because of his ball skills and his passing and understanding of the game." (ESPN)
So, that's that. Maybe they're just harping on him because of his fame, maybe they're spilling the truth. Here's some video of his high school days. Give it a watch, throw up your thoughts.
