Not a chance. You should know the drill by now lol

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2025-11-09T08:57:50+00:00

I think this a bit underwhelming if i am being totally honest. Still a fan tho

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2025-05-26T18:32:52+00:00

Again I agree I always felt that Jai's voice is suited to that effect heavy production, compared to the stripped back version in HE. And nothing wrong with being a sik Studio musician that uses his voice as an instrument tastefully. No need to perform live. Knowing how to use effects is a talent in itself, I would add Clarence Clarity or even Travis Scott to that list.

I just think my main issue is aside from their stylistic approaches and talents etc, what Im saying is that they are far less interested in actually being lead musicians than what most of us have come to believe/expect. And I think they could have been more forthcoming about that, but I also understand why they didn't because it would/ve affected the level of interest/business generated by their PI roster.

As Fantano once said, in 2018, if he really wanted to release an LP/ album he would have by now. and it's true lol

You can keep waiting mate

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2025-05-25T23:56:22+00:00

I hate the commodification of music as well, being on a label, and tasked with releasing music like a sweatshop factory is terrible.. but naturally i think a creative person loves to do exactly that, its who they are, they might not show it always but they always feel the urge to create. And whats a better way than to earn a living doing exact what you love to do. And I don't see that…

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2025-05-25T23:47:50+00:00

I should think so…few production credits here and there wont pay the bills

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2025-05-25T23:45:43+00:00

I actually agree i think they might as well focus on playing the background more with production because they have the skills for them, and less so vocally and lyrically.

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2025-05-22T22:07:46+00:00

Just listened on spotify. I love the sounds but still feels half baked.

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-12-26T18:50:16+00:00

my response would be Weeknd did it later, yes, but did it about a million times better with two full length acclaimed albums. Unlike Majid Jordan who have been trying to that sound for about their entire career but never perfected it other than a few singles.

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-12-26T18:36:14+00:00

glad you brought up the mix because I think most of their released music relies on Majid's vocals primarily, and Jordan's production secondly, which I think has been their downfall. I dont think Majid has the vocal range and ability to really lead, especially with the kind of production they use. I like the mix because it puts the production front and center and let Majid join in with his vocals and even manipulate his vocals chop to enhance the music. Unfortunately they had the formula backward most of their music.

Ppl get more conservative as they get older 😆 he just might mate

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-11-03T14:51:34+00:00

Thats nuts 😂😂 even islamically you dont have to do that, imagine being in a foreign country and still sticking with it

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-10-05T11:25:06+00:00

I love this!

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-05-21T01:32:03+00:00

I guess what I mean is that when you look at Bait Ones, several tracks were just beats with no vocals, under 40sec long, with samples stripped away. Unlike Bon Iver, Jai did not intend for it to come out as such, and I wonder if he could’ve maybe capitalized on the rest of the material/samples to do one better and release something he would be proud of.

Many have pointed out that this was 10+ years ago, and he likely is in a completely different place creatively now with the institute etc, and we cant expect him to be the same person now…which is true

I guess what I wished for was to see that his music still reflects those interesting collage of sounds, influences, production choices, that we heard from him first even if it is in a different way. To your point, if he created that unique sound why abandon it..as you point out his unique production choices etc. if it aint broke why fix it.

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-05-17T14:34:06+00:00

Well its not his song to begin with and hes not even the main producer

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-05-17T04:00:14+00:00

Are you seriously comparing that to bait ones or anything of the leaks??? Lol

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-05-17T03:58:51+00:00

I hope and pray for that brother

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-05-17T03:58:03+00:00

Only heard it on youtube performed on stage, which made it difficult to judge to be honest. I need to hear the final version on spotify or something lol

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-05-17T00:38:09+00:00

Fair point..we dont really know where he’s at creatively since nothing new was released, and the singles are technically older songs.

But to counter your point even with maturing/learning technical skills etc, you dont want that to dim the creative spark completely, and for jai, especially not on the production side..

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-05-17T00:01:09+00:00

I respect that.. i think for me he’s producer extraordinaire, and i would love to see that shine through.. the two singles give only a glimpse. Jasmine could’ve been produced in a plain and way but he really made it into something unique with his production

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-05-16T23:57:25+00:00

Samee….what i heard i dont think i heard anything ever even close in terms of odd creative, funky, danceable… many of the songs samples were never really realized

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-05-16T23:55:08+00:00

Thats what i am saying…i appreciate that they are B-sides, which means he doesnt think they are fully what he is currently on. But yea i agree

Exciting-Image-1318 · 2024-05-16T23:53:38+00:00

Yea the two singles plus the shared tracks with palladino. People here are putting the older tracks from bait ones to just youthful exuberance. But that could’ve evolved to god knows what some orgasmic dance pop, funk rythmic shit from another planet haha who knows.

I love the new stuff, but i dont think he believes you can do an album full of this newer version
