Sweeney Kovar of
The Boombox described
Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge) as "a dissection of society through a hip-hop lens". The mixtape's opening is a
spoken word piece performed by American singer-songwriter
Erykah Badu and American producer
Just Blaze. Badu describes her first encounter with Jay Electronica and Just Blaze describes the nature of the mixtape. {{Listen On the second movement "Eternal Sunshine", he
frames Act I by setting his role as a metaphysician. He proclaims his genre to be "God-hop" and denounces traditional hip-hop, but admits that its rewards are tempting. The third movement, "…Because He Broke the Rules", begins with a
Willy Wonka sample where the title character yells at a boy for stealing Fizzy Lifting Drinks, thus preventing the boy from receiving his prize. This sample serves as a metaphor for the high demands that a romantic relationship can impose on each person as Jay Electronica raps about being emotionally broken and lonely. He evokes the duality of
good and evil with the
left-and-right sides of his brain. On the fourth movement "Voodoo Man", the title character has three different incarnations for each verse. In the first incarnation, the Voodoo Man is a rapper "who can turn nothing into something." In the second incarnation, the Voodoo Man becomes the "Asiatic Black Man of East Asia", derived from
Nation of Islam theology, who uses an
unidentified flying object to travel to
New Orleans,
Japan, and
Tepoztlán. The final incarnation is the same Voodoo Man but with no regard for humanity. He compares
colonialism to modern hip-hop. Jay Electronica also praises
Elijah Muhammad, former leader of the Nation of Islam. The fifth and final movement, "FYI", opens with a sampled speech from Muhammad. Jay Electronica reflects on man's relatively short time on Earth and contrasts a rapper's obsession with jewelry to the larger-scale declassification of UFO files by
CNES. "
Lucifer" is described as the condition that humankind battles with. ==Release and promotion==
