J’s use of the word: bitch
Did it shock you the first time you heard J say it? I never heard him utter the word until “Soul Education” and even now I don’t fully fill comfortable with it. It sounds awkwardly inappropriate. The word reappears in “Love Blind.” |

Haha, I was more shocked the first time I actually sat and listened to the entire track for Just Another Story. I was like, "Whoa!! Jay just said f*ck!!" It totally caught me off guard...But then I saw interviews with him later and yeah, every other word out of his mouth is "f*ck"

JAS was shocking as well. However he was the angst ridden stickup kid. That’s exactly what he'd say. J does have a potty mouth but it comes from a bad temper and a naturally rebellious nature. |

I think it's surprising he doesn't use more profanity considering his interviews! But that is probably the professional side of his music.
Bitch isn't really a bad word, depends how you use it. But F*ck is!
Can't stand the hip-hop musicians with their profanity or oversexual connotations. Although I do have some.

Don't really care about profanity, if it's used with a purpose. |

J’s initial inspirations are 60s and 70s Soul, Funk and R&B music. I know there’s not much profanity to be heard in those genres. Bitch is a hostile sounding word to me. J seems too sweet on women to use it so lightly in his music. The use of the word Fuck in JAS is fine. He’s reenacting his past. |

It’s usually unnecessary under most circumstances. |

Just Another Story about his younger days.
"Nobody make a f*cking move" Isn't really that bad in the lyrics as a whole.
This song is exactly an example of how JMQ shows a contrast. The jazz and grooves is so sophisticated while the lyrics so rough! Probably Avant-garde which paved their way and made them innovative. |

I watched an episode where Mythbusters ran a similar experiment and got the same results.
