Speaking to Allhiphop, P. Diddy talked on newcomer Jay Electronica, claiming that Jay is one of the best rappers around right now.

“Jay Electronica is one of hip-hop’s dopest MCs. He represents real hip-hop, which is like an endangered species right now; as far as that gutter gutter (sound).”
Normally I couldn’t care less what P. Diddy says, but I do agree with what he has to say regards to Jay Electronica. The guy brings an old school feel to a modern era in Hip-Hop. From the stuff I’ve heard he’s so far the right balance needed, and his lyrics are deep compared to everyone’s usual favourite over-hyped artist (I won’t name names, but it should seem pretty obvious, and not really matter)

P. Diddy also talks on his relationship with Rick Ross being much deeper than rap, eh?

“Rick Ross has always been one of my favourite MCs since he started.

“We have many things in common from different styles to how we hear the music. We have a certain chemistry and friendship. It’s really organic. I think that he is a brand that should be bigger than he is now. We’ve already started being involved in his management to help make it happen for him.” oh.
