has he even released a song in the last 4 years lol?

Yeah I’m a fan of Joey Badass’s music but it’s weird to me the kind of people that constantly bring him up as this legend that should’ve saved rap music or something. Kind of reminds me of hardcore Hillary supporters.

I'll be real with y'all, I used to be a big Joey fan, but I fell off when All Amerikkkan Badass dropped and I have not cared about anything he's released or done since. The Beast Coast album was kinda cool, but I can't lie, he was the weakest part of the project to me, yet he somehow got most of the praise from it.

I guess I just haven't been impressed by him in a good while, and I don't know why he still gets as much attention as he does now. The music hasn't supported the claim of him being the best out of NY, best young rapper, or even OP's claim.

So many new artists have filled his lane. Mavi, Rome Streetz, Medhane, Navy Blue, Jameel Na'im X to name a few. And even his own contemporaries have been making more interesting and better music than him.

Dude hasn't dropped a project in three years and his last one was so whatever, but he's out here with all these elites in music and taking pictures and s*** and I'm like...what has he done? Yeah 1999 is a classic and Summer Knights still goes. But b4.da.$$ is a give or take, All Amerikkkan Badass was forgettable af, and these loosies and remixes he has jumped on are pretty wack.

Shoutout to dude for entering fatherhood that's a beautiful thing. So I'm assuming that's what's been keeping him busy. I can never have an issue with an artist taking time away from music to be about their family. But lately dude keeps talking about "new music coming" but not only does it not come, I can't say I'm excited or have been avidly waiting for it because I've found other artists to replace him, who honestly been doing it better than him.

Don't forget Bishop Nehru

Mavi is basically the Joey Badass replacement.

S*** $ilkmoney's album GTFOMD gave me everything I wanted All Amerikkkan Badass to be and should've been in regards to the energy/urgency and subject matter.

Mavi is on a whole different level

That nigga is incredible with the raps smh

completely. hes so gifted

I ain't wanna be the one to say it...but Let the Sun Talk just might be better than 1999 too

Agreed 100%

1999 was a good mixtape inspired by the 90s. Pretty impactful considering the style he was aiming for. He was real young too so I gotta give him credit for having a well put together project at that age

But Let the Sun Talk is ridiculous. The verses on there smh fam.... how did he come up with some of that s***? I’m still dissecting that project

Dude is a genius fr

fr. the level of lyrical dexterity+imagery+poeticism+emotional intensity in his lyrics is just.....wow

this

for example you hear this s*** and be like...nigga exactly

Welcome To Fazoland is a classic

Nah

LMFAO perfect comparison

MAVI sounds nothin like Joey Bada$$ tf. I agree hes dope too. Hes another name i couldve added..

Chill on the 1999 hate tho yall thats the one joey project thats actually legitimately great.

Yep. Down the line, we’re going to reference those just like we reference Illmatic and College Dropout

EDIT: I’ll give you Die Lit though. It’s a cult classic

Lololol

How can you say to name a few and name none.

o i just thought the avi was funny theres another user with a cubase avi

They should make a band.
