Yeah maybe not a legend. But above j cole

The East Coast would be a lot better if they had something similar to a Pop Out and it looks like there is another initiative for the West to put on for other folks outside of California within the region.

blaccmass' mixes half the reason these joey songs been getting traction tbr

My thing is, why tf does Joey continue to rap over these semi boring ass beats smh.

He gotta step out his zone

East Coast isn’t unified like that and never really has been. A lot of the rappers on that coast hold a “lone wolf” mentality and really keep to themselves and their crew

One thing about the West Coast is they’re unified and always have been, aside from a fence sitter or 2. And that’s one of the reason other regions get irked about the West. They could never have something like the Pop Out.

thats not who you named

lets be real here man

you said the bar was hard, i didnt ask if you liked it lol those are separate things.

Conductor we have a problem

True. No denying that

My thing with the whole lone wolf s***, is that times have changed. NY doesn't need to continue this lone wolf mentality. So many dope rappers/crews from different areas such as Van Buren (Boston), MONDAY Night (Virginia), North Ave Jack (Vermont), etc. are all from different states but within that same region. Plus, are outside of the TriState area.

It would be amazing to see some TriState area rappers reach out to others. The only ones I know who has done s*** like that was Erick Sermon. I also think ASAP Rocky could do it too if he wanted but unfortunately NY going to continue to be jealous of other regions sense of unity

pigeonholed himself into being griselda adjacent and rightfully believes that hopping on some low effort conductor beat will give listeners the impression that he's "authentic" hip hop.

the actual nail in the coffin is how subpar the bars are compared to his debut lyricism and throwing vague shots at 'the big 3' all while thinking he's above having to respond to rappers who are actually in his weight class

It was a good bar to me because I understood the context and what it was trying to say

NY has had a gatekeeping problem for years as well

You don’t see that in L.A

we all understood the context, brother

the bar was simply not good lol

up your standards man, you’re better than this

Well let me ask you this

Did you think Joey came through? Or do you think he could’ve been better with these songs?

joey’s absolutely better than these songs he’s released. i enjoy them but not blown away. feels like he’s throwing bait

bro said

2025 music ! 😃

Beat is fire, video is fire, Joey sounds hungry and energized… but lyrically though…. Meeehhh

Decent

Yep you don't

What you want me to do I’m sorry, I’m back

beginning of show me what you got drops

He respond to that TDE dude on this?

This is cool but I've never been connected to Joey's music like that

It's always just ok, I still absolutely think Ray Vaughan would best him

he’s afraid of mick lmao, ray vaughn is so weak and cole isn’t going back and forth, but mick definitely will
