its rly just listening to rap for a long time and the experience of dissecting bars, u jus get the references. + u need to be read so ur vocabulary is on point. Also being hella familiar with an artist helps a lot since u get most of his references and nods (for example i catch most freddie gibbs bars on first listen since he my fav rapper)
Diego Canales my nigga Terrence can catch some shit no cap. During their NWTs vs Channel Orange, on Worst Behavior, he caught that tennis set up, which Terrell didn’t even catch
“Neither tool can be used ... to fix our “defects” .. where I went with that was how our texture of hair can be seen as less than , and the fun , being used for violence ... for insecurity, can be paralleled because we use weaponry to hide our flaws and insecurity .
Universal Soldier is still my favorite off this album. But I'm a long time Elec fan. "When I spit, the children on the mothership bow on the platform" is an amazing line, you just gotta speak the language.
That “Ms Tina line” she smile at son/sun...photic reflex....It's a condition characterized by successive sneezing induced by bright light (sun). Crazy!!!!
The following line after the Old Jay, OJ, & O’Jay where he says “I aint as sweet as the old Ye” ... 1. The Old Jay-Z use to sell crack and if the coke was sweet, you knew it would make a more potent batch of crack 2. The Old Ye, or Kanye, used to be mad coo & nice or “sweet”, but as his career grew, he became alot more angry till he exploded, as we see with the 2016 hospitalization and shit. LOTS of bars the Jays spit that most aint catch.
Flux capacitor is the machine they used to go back in time in Back to the Future. Which makes Rhianna saying “I want to go back to the old ways” over and over so fire 🔥! Also the bar from Jay-Z saying “you backstabbers going to turn me back to the OLD Jay” hit different too. Long story short I love this song 🤣
Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up Like a RAISIN IN THE SUN? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?
"The Blind"- "Wheels inside of wheels" He's talkin about the book of Ezekiel when he saw God he was in a vehicle with wheels inside of wheels. But alot of people interpreted that as Ezekiel having a extraterrestrial encounter. Then in the very next verse Jay E. mentioned the "Anunaki". Which according to Mesopotamian sandscript, were alien beings that came to earth and created humans. Read the book "Chariots of the Gods" or watch Ancient Aliens 1st season. They talk alot about that.
Hov’s line @11:50 could be a triple entendre. When he says “They’ll steal your jesus...” he could be referring to the fact that Jesus’s life story is almost exactly the same as the life story of ancient Egyptian deity Horus.
Yo when I first listened to this album & got to Ezekiel's Wheel & A.P.I.D.T.A. I was like "WTF" now after 5 listens of this album fully...those 2 are my favorite tracks on the album... 😷😷😷🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“I bet you a Rothschild, I’ll get a bang for my dollar” That’s a bar and a diss, back in the late 00’s Jay Electronica dated Kate Rothschild. “A bang for my dollar” Went over most ppls heads
Idk if I’m reaching or not but jay-z said “bald heads” and “raisin in the sun” and it made me think of grapes turning into raisins by sitting in the sun
Listen to this song called "Saw" by Roc Marciano. It was on Jay-Z's End of Year 2019 Tidal Playlist. There's a line in there that references Jay-Z stabbing somebody named Un. It was supposedly just a rumor, but when ya'll pointed out that Old Jay backstabber line, I thought of the song.
Wow his description of the second track sounding like finding someone through a crowd was dead on what I pictured. Both Jays trying to rap elegantly in some high class crowded party
That guilt trip bar could be a reference to Kayne. Rem that jay references him in 4:44 talking about if you calling everyone else crazy then you the crazy one - don't put all the luggage on me.
I respect the both of y'all so much for never letting Jay-Z lyrics fly over your heads. You're teaching a lot of people to understand his lyrics. I hope to see you both do a review breaking down your favorite Jay-Z double or triple entendre's , you'd be surprised how many people assume that He is just talking and not understanding the weight of his lyrics and wordplay.
I think that 'raising in the sun sir' might be ' raisin in the sun sur' sur is spanish for south so he's basically saying he's chilling in the good life.
😂😂 Actually they were right on point! its a double maybe even a triple entendre for sure. He said I'm so brazen (bold without shame) I'm raisin in the sun sir... Meaning easing a gun in broad day. Also the Loh Gosset part was a giveaway. Lou Gosset, who had a bald head. Bald head is slang for bullets also.

“My debut album featuring HOV, man this is highway robbery” ... that line is even better given that highways usually have a HOV lane
AfroSunGames caught that 😤🔥🔥🔥
AfroSunGames bruhhh i done listened to ezekiels wheel lile 8173737 times... and i aint catch that smfh
Daaaaamn
Bruh that had to be a accidental bar
Speed Allen IV nope. No way bc Jay-Z has to referred to the HOV lane before in his raps and best BELIEVE Jay electronica knows his discography.
😂😂That Terrance can’t catch bars comment cut him deep. Bro is on a mission to catch every single bar now
Haha you right
All that means is he will come up with reaches just to prove him wrong.
That's not what that means. That means his brain's gonna be workin a little harder
PhD in barology
rotfl . that's so true
"There's a history of you not catching stuff" hahahahahha

Terrell has been teaching Terrence how to find bars Lmaoooooo. How does Terrell have magical powers finding these bars I want that ability
Its about having a solid vocabulary, and knowing the meaning behind some of those words. You can learn that ability, Im pulling for you.

Watch battle rap everyday for a couple months. That shit literally trains your mind to break down wordplay fast.

Some peeps can't accept the fact that they was the ones hypin' this up for 10yrs, not Jay Elec himself.
This.

14:22 Yo Terrance’s Bernie impression had me ROLLING LMAOOOOOOO
“YOU LOOKING AT ME FOR VALIDATION” hahahah no truer words
That Rothschild bar is already one of the greatest I’ve ever heard. And it’s real.
He said “turn me back to the old jay” but he made it sound like the o jays.
Or the slang way the OL Jay Backstabbers by the PJs also refers to stavbing O.J Simpson but yes A tripple entandra fam
Backstabbers is a song by the o jays
Jay also did stab someone before. I think his name was Lance “Un” Rivera. He references it in “Dear Summer”
@@valdyvalere5374 in Rivera yes the line refers to several things it's a trippke entandra means three different things at once

Jay Electronica’s verses on Ezekiel’s Wheel was super dope. Y’all crazy 😭
Idt they caught all the jay electronica bars lol they don’t know anything about Islam so it’s unfersfanvkr

“Neither tool can be used ... to fix our “defects” .. where I went with that was how our texture of hair can be seen as less than , and the fun , being used for violence ... for insecurity, can be paralleled because we use weaponry to hide our flaws and insecurity .
HOV went over their heads but they got most of it
Universal Soldier is still my favorite off this album. But I'm a long time Elec fan. "When I spit, the children on the mothership bow on the platform" is an amazing line, you just gotta speak the language.
“Nigga don’t never let me freestyle” 😭😭😭
I swear to god, I literally started clapping and yelling YESSIRRR when I got this notification
The album cover says Jay Electronica spelled how it would be in Arabic. and the bottom translates to a written testimony.
PSA: SHINY SUIT THEORY DROPPED IN 2010. Still fire though
Y'all.......no capping y'all major helped me catch these bars!! Dope a** reaction. Props to both of y'all.love n respect from Africa(zambia)!!!

Dream Deferred
by Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a RAISIN IN THE SUN?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
ka'ramuu Kush bruh we just did an essay on this book and poem in English lmao
Cael Lynch they need to know bro... these bars are informed by historic pre-rap bars #knowyourhistory
ka'ramuu Kush fr bro I was cringing in my body because the Mallory bro’s didn’t understand the true significance of the bar
Cael Lynch yeah I feel that. Happy they’re studying tho
One of the very few poems I know by heart. What made post that? 🙏🏽
Bruh jay z so fucking cold it’s ridiculous ❄️

They recorded APIDTA the day Kobe passed. Much love bros shout out from South Africa
Album of the year easily
That Bernie impression from Terrance had me rolling
Y’all never disappoint me. EVER!!
Let’s gooo. I’ve been waiting on this reaction
Hov’s line @11:50 could be a triple entendre. When he says “They’ll steal your jesus...” he could be referring to the fact that Jesus’s life story is almost exactly the same as the life story of ancient Egyptian deity Horus.
i’m so glad y’all did this!
yall missed so many good lines, it's was in Arabic so I kinda feel bad that you didn't get to fully enjoy this masterpiece
Masterpiece? Lol. Fohh
Reggie Nobles foh

😂😂😂 terrell said “you live in a much smaller house”
Makes me wish i had a twin to dissect bars with💀 good shit
WE NEED HEAVEN OR HELL BY DONNY!

Watching this now knowing that's Jay and Bey's pool and Beyonce took that picture makes watching Terrell talking about the cover art funny as hell.
GUNSHOT TRANSITIONS ARE BACK AGAIN
How can Jayz body you on every track on your own album damn
Been waiting for this review nobody do it like you guys 9️⃣
Hope y’all doing well in these scary times,
Stay safe everyone ❤️.

“I bet you a Rothschild, I’ll get a bang for my dollar”
That’s a bar and a diss, back in the late 00’s Jay Electronica dated Kate Rothschild.
“A bang for my dollar”
Went over most ppls heads
Y’all are really the best out here doing this
I am so glad y’all reacted to this one. LETS GO
Ezekiel's Wheel my fav joint from the album... There's a certain arrogance about it
Best Album I’ve heard this year. Original, creative project that’s sounds like nothing else it there
Idk if I’m reaching or not but jay-z said “bald heads” and “raisin in the sun” and it made me think of grapes turning into raisins by sitting in the sun
Double meaning

Yall found parts that I missed. You guys are on it!!!! This a classic right here!!!
Always good to see y’all back on this🙏🏽
You missed a meaning with the "they'll steal your Jesus line....the story of Jesus is said to be taken from the Egyptian mythology of Horus
WE LIVE ON THAT BLOCK
That’s actually Beyoncé’s pool
Stephen and she took the pic
Thanks for doing this one. Knew this video would be fire.
4:47 probably the best pronunciation of 'haram' by an American
7:43
You guys missed the other meaning. Knighted/night
Romper = basically pajamas
New Mallory Bros... LETS GOOOOOO
Jay still the monster of the double entendre.. not many can match Jay line for line and the crazy thing is he sounds just as hungry as he did in 2000
Terrence really be repeating the simplest lines like we ain’t understood them lmao
What’s good like ya are one out of 2 my fav youtubers of all time and bro we need more freestyles 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Carlos Nevarez me too no life shaq is my 1st✊🏻
