Jay Electronica_ Excellent Makers

I’ve taken issue with Jay Electronica ever since his women choking sex comments live and in public on the Manifesto stage in downtown Toronto. The brother also went over his set time in a public square ensuring that Black Thought & J Period had to cut their set time (showing his general disrespect for the other artist on the bill as his distain for basic performance edicate while sharing the stage). His response in typical short sited fashion when Manifesto asked for an apology so that the people in the audience who did not appreciate either of these acts was basically “fuck you.” That is immaturity. This was all rather embarrassing for me as I sit on the Manifesto board of directors and was the person who suggested that we bring this dude in the first place (sigh.. my bad Toronto). All this to say, I haven’t posted anything by Mr. Electronica since. I’m posting this now because I just feel like it, and it gives me the ability to tell a little story about what not to do as an artist. Not too excellent Jay.
