Rapper Jay Electronica went all the way in on Twitter today in a tirade that found him packing his feed with scathing criticisms of the U.S. government, major media and President Barack Obama. Jay Elect's tweets - likely a response to negative commentary and coverage directed at the protests following controversial grand jury decisions in the killings of Eric Garner and Michael Brown - invoke a history of violence in the U.S. and question the testicular fortitude of the POTUS. Jay Electronica's impassioned tweets come ahead of his show in Philadelphia tonight at the TLA with Common. Check the tweets below to get a taste of his remarks. Follow @JayElectronica on Twitter for the full rundown. Tell em why you mad Jay.
