    Joey Bada$$ dropped this song at the perfect time when people were saying NY hip-hop is dying, while everyone was copying the same trendy/catchy sound of the time, Joey released something that brought hope back to hip-hop let alone NYC hip-hop that old school beats and lyricism still exist. Classic track and is solely the reason I’m a Joey Bada$$ fan til this day 🙌🔥🔥🔥. Also great to know Joey is doing his thing as an actor now which he’s not bad at doing, just talented all around 💯

He’s definitely an artist who’s has grown with me with the likes of Cole, Kendrick, Earl, etc. and I’m happy these guys are just successful enough for me to go back and reminisce on their music.

    • @MrMiki300
      @MrMiki300 9 років тому +3

      Alex Smith
      Depends how you understand the word 'classic' when it is applied to a hip hop album. I see it as an album that is so good, that it quickly gains the respect and presitge of a 'classic' album i.e. a old and well known album e.g. illmatic, low end theory etc. I think you're understanding it in terms of the music reminding you of the old school boom bap style hip hop, which B4.DA.$$. defo has, expect that it is given a much more modern twist as opposed to 1999 which was a lot more conservative. Imo, the fact that Joey is taking the old school classic sound and morphing it with a personal and new school touch is far more respectable than just spitting over old school type beats which have already been heard (not saying that 1999 is bad, its one of the best mixtapes I've heard, I just believe this album is gonna genuinly FUCK SHIT UP from all sides). This is gonna be some Illmatic type shit, watch it
