Joey's latest album bought me back here again. Can't believe it has been 10yrs since dropped. Amazing tune and Steelo was just incredible. Such a shame that mental health took him from the world. RIP. Look after yourself everyone and be kind and continue to love the music. Peace!!!
The industry sacrificed him ain't no way he killed himself they want you to think that's what killed him when someone speaks of awakening and spirituality the perfect cover story would label the person schizophrenic and bipolar
@@trippymane432 Trippy, Steez literally talked about having thoughts of suicide on his first mixtape. All of his close friends and family believe it was suicide. No evidence has ever been given to say that he was murdered. Engaging in unfounded conspiracies does nothing but insult his memory

@@jamesfisher3885 respectfully X had major impact in the music game, whether u like him or not , you can’t deny. And if you know Joey and X was close and collaborated even on a few tracks. Joey even dedicated his song “Head High” to honor and tribute both Steez and X. So… yeah.
@@ZayBlackheart X had impact and fans. That's it. as far as talent as a rapper he's really really really not there. his "?" album is one of the worst mainstream albums ever released.

Nah I'd say more than a few people know him. He ain't getting songs on the radio, but He has worked with Cole, X, Schoolboy Q, Logic, etc. If you are into hip hop, you know Joey Badass
Joey IS a sellout, pushing that satanist new age agenda in his new shit... he's a dope MC but a sellout. CAPITAL STEEZ was the real cat from pro era, HE was killed for a reason....
Crim Slick King Capital? Joey said this in 2014: “The thing is with that, it’s so great, it’s so classic, we just feel like we need to do more with it. We can’t just like drop it as a mixtape, it deserves way more than that,” Joey said. “Even as a collective, we still feel like it’s a place we gotta get, so we can feel like we can just drop that one for the world and the world will be ready for it. Right now I’ll tell you, Sway, the world ain’t ready for that.”
He was a real ass dude. He’d have seen through the bullshit we’ve been through the last few years. STEEZ was put on the back end because he didn’t want to push their message.
THIS SONG SUDDENLY CAME TO MIND FOLLOWING ALL OF THE RECENT EVENTS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING WITH THE PROTEST AND RIOTS. HAS ANYBODY ELSE BEEN FEELING THIS VIBE LATELY?
“better play yo cards right no booster packs” “these aint even punchlines no more im abusing tracks” “little weapon, code name: smith and wesson, and you’ll be quick to catch a bullet like an interception” jesus steez was legendary. hardest song of 2010s easily
The fact Steez says, "6 milli ways to die and ma nigga chose one" and the picture is the height of a building aka exactly how he died gives me the fucking chills...
This is a reach man, relax. Not everything had meaning like that. What happened to Steez was a tragedy. But don’t add meaning to a lyric that doesn’t belong.
Hey man it would really mean a lot if you take some of your time to go listen to my song. Thank you so much for much for your time I really appreciate it. soundcloud.com/gualagangrecords/no-limits-young-guapo-ft-donnie2suave
@Jermine Turner Pretty sure it didn't.. to my understanding he's in neither heaven nor hell... but he lives on in our hearts so it's okay. It would be great if he could be in heaven though...
2012 had 1999, better off dead, Indigioism, and the best pro era tape which is insane cause there all of my faviorte projects from flatbush ua and joey and pro era and i still love all thier other projects
JahmaiSoFly don’t disrespect Joey, he got his big break, now he’s letting the pros get it, he was just paving the way and he didn’t set up steez. Steez was ready to ascend so he did they all knew what was goin on. They’re all on the same path steez was. And it’s pretty shitty people wanna say all this about joey cuz him and the pros are tryna enlighten us all.
This song is incredibly underrated. I listened to this when it came out and I was in year 8 and now returning to it as an adult I have a whole new respect and appreciation for the song. Brilliant
I seen Joey in 2017 during the Logic tour and I remember when this song came on I lost it haha, sang along to every word but he only sang his verse and didn't play Steez verse, I still was singing Steez verse after the music cut and I remember people were looking at me like why is this chick still singing 🧐😂 such a badass moment for any pro era fans wish I could relive it!!
As if they'd cut steez verse?? That's so wack Like I understand it would hurt the pros playing it, but to put it on at a show and cut steez verse seems real suss n disrespectful.
@@mastaroshi23 They usually let Steez verse play and Joey would rap it or they just let it go on. He probably just didnt that time as it wasnt his tour, it was Logic's.
@@Will-bn9km 100% fair, I made a negative assumption and presumed the worst when there are countless reason why he may have not let it ride out, being Logic's tour being a good reason. Thank you for correcting me bro :) peace
For me personally this is one of the joints that was on the forefront of the return of another golden era of hip hop for real. This track aged like fine wine. God bless you brother @Joey Badass and RIP Capital Steez . One love from South Africa
harry poxon he's better than anyone in the game right now unless you're into this pop wanna be trap shit thats everywhere these days. don't try n debate me on that
harry poxon meech ak and erick are not better than steez what the fuck lol? don't get me wrong joey is my favorite rapper of the past couple years but steez was ahead of him as well.
Joey drops this masterpiece at 17 and is still underrated asf. Lil pump repeats Gucci Gang over and over again at 17 and blows up. What’s wrong with society?
Ace Mochi cus this requires you to actively listen. Lil pump appeals to the mainstream audience as his content is easily digested and his persona allows for him to gain publicity
As a small underground artist myself, these are my idols. A timeless track that will go down in history as one of the greatest boombap tracks to ever be dropped. I wish we could have seen what Steez would have become some day. He’s still iconic and will always be remembered but I wish he could’ve stuck around a while longer. Rest in paradise king Capital Steez ❤️ I hope you found your peace
"fuck... Listenin' and shit" straight teenage shit Damm I remember when this dropped and I thought "how these boys so talented at such a young age" Miss them days

THIS SONG SUDDENLY CAME TO MIND FOLLOWING ALL OF THE RECENT EVENTS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING WITH THE PROTEST AND RIOTS. HAS ANYBODY ELSE BEEN FEELING THIS VIBE LATELY?

We here
Same here
yup
I hear you !
Rest eazy Steez. 1999 is the illmatic of our generation! Joey so damn good
I've been saying this illmatic is better imo but 1999 will always be a classic in my mind I can't skip songs on either album they are just too fire
I’m a 1999 baby
Illmatic is better but it basically is our illmatic the similarities are crazy
I agree
Damn back in 2024!!! 12 years old
Literally same my guy! Still hits
“better play yo cards right no booster packs”
“these aint even punchlines no more im abusing tracks”
“little weapon, code name: smith and wesson, and you’ll be quick to catch a bullet like an interception”
jesus steez was legendary. hardest song of 2010s easily

I need Joey to come out with some heat soon, RIP Steez he spoke shit into existence and people thought he was speaking non sense.
joey has been putting out heat wym
You listen to his new album?
What you think of 2000?
@@H4GS it’s a good listen. Joey delivers
They need to drop STEEZ's album
The fact Steez says, "6 milli ways to die and ma nigga chose one" and the picture is the height of a building aka exactly how he died gives me the fucking chills...
Bruh
Woah
Full circle
Nah bro reaching
This is a reach man, relax. Not everything had meaning like that. What happened to Steez was a tragedy. But don’t add meaning to a lyric that doesn’t belong.
Holy fuck I've never heard a better collab

Jermine Turner you are such a negative nigga, fuck outta here.
@Jermine Turner Pretty sure it didn't.. to my understanding he's in neither heaven nor hell... but he lives on in our hearts so it's okay. It would be great if he could be in heaven though...
@Jermine Turner if you accept Jesus in your heart then you will go to heaven
Rip Capital Steez still listen to this on a regular basis
This sounds like someone who’s honed their craft for years over a huge collection of music not a 17 year old on their debut album
Joeys been ahead of his time. Truly a genius

@@trippymane432 both are ahead of their time music wise. Steez was just different in spirituality and thoughts.

2012 felt perfect.
Progression was
on our mind.
Fuck joey he set em up I bet
indego 47 mmm
2012 had 1999, better off dead, Indigioism, and the best pro era tape which is insane cause there all of my faviorte projects from flatbush ua and joey and pro era and i still love all thier other projects
JahmaiSoFly don’t disrespect Joey, he got his big break, now he’s letting the pros get it, he was just paving the way and he didn’t set up steez. Steez was ready to ascend so he did they all knew what was goin on. They’re all on the same path steez was. And it’s pretty shitty people wanna say all this about joey cuz him and the pros are tryna enlighten us all.
Kent Kuntster do more research
9 years ago .. today ! This one still cuts deep. We miss you Steez. I swear you and Joey would of had NY & the game on lock 🙏🏾

This song is incredibly underrated. I listened to this when it came out and I was in year 8 and now returning to it as an adult I have a whole new respect and appreciation for the song. Brilliant
anyone else here in 2018 🔥🔥 long live steez
Tyra J You already know! Got good taste in music plus you're gorgeous! Can't find them like that no more.

Aatah facts. Makes me wanna step my game up
joey bad ass is real hip hop bringing back the 90s

***** who sing it bro ?
***** lmao damn really
***** Yeah,Hes in funk volume ;)
yea ive been bumpin logic funk volume artists kendrick absoul pro era artists kid cudi bodega bamz flatbush zombiez asap rocky(old)
These two dudes really dropped a hip hop classic at 17 😤
I'm replying after 2 years but I hope u know steez was actually 19 and joey was 17
I seen Joey in 2017 during the Logic tour and I remember when this song came on I lost it haha, sang along to every word but he only sang his verse and didn't play Steez verse, I still was singing Steez verse after the music cut and I remember people were looking at me like why is this chick still singing 🧐😂 such a badass moment for any pro era fans wish I could relive it!!
As if they'd cut steez verse?? That's so wack
Like I understand it would hurt the pros playing it, but to put it on at a show and cut steez verse seems real suss n disrespectful.
@@mastaroshi23 They usually let Steez verse play and Joey would rap it or they just let it go on. He probably just didnt that time as it wasnt his tour, it was Logic's.
@@Will-bn9km 100% fair, I made a negative assumption and presumed the worst when there are countless reason why he may have not let it ride out, being Logic's tour being a good reason. Thank you for correcting me bro :) peace
@@mastaroshi23 Finally a self aware human being respectfully taking accountability. respect💯 there should be more ppl with this mindset
i wish i knew this song before but i’m only 16 bc i was 7 when this came out. fav song ever
I always come back to this and think about how hype I got listening to this literally every morning in 9th grade.
doing that rn but in 10th
RIP STEEZ!!!

Lare MesTyler HE DID NOT KILL HIM SELF THE GOVERNMENT KILLED HIM BECAUSE HE WAS SAYING SHIT THAT THE GOVERNMENT DONT WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW!!
For me personally this is one of the joints that was on the forefront of the return of another golden era of hip hop for real. This track aged like fine wine. God bless you brother @Joey Badass and RIP Capital Steez . One love from South Africa
STEEZ pen was on another level Jesus christ, so many quotables the man was a genius
I just realized how good STEEZ' flow is on this song
me too lol
hes unreal. went too soon

Steez had to have gotten a vision of the future. Cause man that shit is hella accurate with what we facing now. #Legendforever

+StayEarthly Nowhere near. Don't be ridiculous.
harry poxon he's better than anyone in the game right now unless you're into this pop wanna be trap shit thats everywhere these days. don't try n debate me on that
StayEarthly Meech, Erick Elliott, Joey and AK all better than him from the Beastcoast movement alone. As for one of the best of ALL TIME? nah man
harry poxon meech ak and erick are not better than steez what the fuck lol? don't get me wrong joey is my favorite rapper of the past couple years but steez was ahead of him as well.
This song should be brooklyns national anthem

Been a year since one of the greats passed....
RIP King Capital Steez #longlivesteelo
r.i.p STEEZ
Joey drops this masterpiece at 17 and is still underrated asf. Lil pump repeats Gucci Gang over and over again at 17 and blows up. What’s wrong with society?
Ace Mochi how tf is he underrated
I am gawd 2344 all of beast coast is underrated compared to all these mainstream rappers
party music
Ace Mochi cus this requires you to actively listen. Lil pump appeals to the mainstream audience as his content is easily digested and his persona allows for him to gain publicity
luke maher facts
Still one of the greatest songs of all time, RIP STEEZ
in 2018 still bumpin this shit #longlivesteelo
Steez had an amazing verse. My god.
Survival Tactics in 2020
Starting off the decade strong ✊🏾
Yes always
didnt last very long
it’s all gone to shit
We went from listening to survival tactics to using survival tactics
This didn’t age well
As a small underground artist myself, these are my idols. A timeless track that will go down in history as one of the greatest boombap tracks to ever be dropped. I wish we could have seen what Steez would have become some day. He’s still iconic and will always be remembered but I wish he could’ve stuck around a while longer. Rest in paradise king Capital Steez ❤️ I hope you found your peace
blud shutup hahahah
Capital steez is a legend that’s a fact
*Capital Steez is a legend, that's a fact.*

A KING AUTHOR, I AINT EVEN USE A PEN IN LIKE A MONTH OR 4!!!!
Kixie I HAD A HARD TIME WIRTIN LYRICS NOW I AM WAY OVERHEAD SCIENCE FICTION
Read this right when he said it 😱
[Intro]
It's either them or you
It's sort of like survival, you know
Survival of the fittest, you know
You do what you do to stay alive
[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]
Niggas don't want war-I'm a martian, with an army of spartans
Sparring with a knife in a missile fight
Get your intel right; your intelligence is irrelevant
But it's definite; I spit more than speech impediments
Brooklyn's the residence, the best and it's evident
We got 'em niggas P-E-Nuts-like they elephants
Throw 'em in a trunk if they hate though
We don't give a fuck as long as we collect our pay, so
Ya'll collect pesos, ya money ain't right here
I got them girls next to the wood like they light year, I'm right chea
Tryna get a buzz, tryna pollinate
STEEZ got that presidential shit time to inaugurate
My P.E.-conglomerates 'bout to P-E-E on any wanna-B-E, weak MC
Air 'em out or leave 'em empty congratulate the semi-auto
Fire flame-spitter like komodo
No time for fake people, they be Simmin' like Kimora
I'm the empor-ah in search of Theodora, my heart go
"Ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom-boom"
It's panic like Dora when shots blast
See I was raised that way, I'm from the place where they raise that 'K
Like every day in every way, and every where you go, just ain't safe
The only thing that I can say, to you is, "Pray"
'Cause when niggas start equippin', and throw the clip in
Your blood drippin', and got you slippin'
Another victim, don't know what's hit them-through his spinal
Just another man who defeated by survival
That's your biggest rival, in your whole life
These bars you can't handle you better hold tight
They sayin' I'm the best-I'm like, "You're so right"
Still ain't got enough shine to last the whole night, nigga
[Interlude: Joey BadA$$ & Capital STEEZ]
Yo, fuck the police nigga
Fuck every ass-corrupt politician on Wall Street
P.E., Public Enemy, Assassinate us-bitch
Fuck that, fuck everything, son
Fuck government, fuck-listenin' and shit
You want fuckin' energy? Dickheads
[Verse 2: Capital STEEZ]
It's like 6 milli ways to die my nigga choose one
Doomsday comin' start investin' in a few guns
New gats, booby traps, and bazooka straps
Better play your cards right, no booster packs
Everybody claim they used to rap
But these ain't even punchlines no more, I'm abusing tracks
Leaving instrumentals blue and black
I'm in Marty McFly mode, so tell em' that the future's back
Riding on hoverboards, wiping out motherboards
Start spitting fire 'cause my motherfuckin' lung is scorched
King Arthur when he swung his sword
A king author I ain't even use a pen in like a month or four
I had a hard time writing lyrics
Now I'm way over heads, science fiction
You can try and get it, I been the flyest with it
Wouldn't mind a feign of interest for your finest interest
They say hard work pays off
Well tell the Based God don't quit his day job
'Cause P.E.'s about to take off
With protons and electrons homie that's an A-bomb
Fuckin' ridiculous
Finger to the president screamin', "Fuck censorship!"
If Obama got that president election
Then them P.E. boys bout to make an intervention
Fuck what I once said, I want the blood shed
'Cause now-a-days for respect you gotta pump lead
I guess Columbine was listenin' to Chaka Khan
And Pokémon wasn't gettin' recognized at Comic-Con
It's like we've been content with losin'
And half our students fallen victim to the institution
Jobs are scarce since the Scientific Revolution
And little kids are shootin' Uzi's 'cause its given to 'em
Little weapon, code name: Smith and Wesson
And you'll be quick to catch a bullet like an interception
If your man’s tryna disrespect it
Send a message and it's over in a millisecond-nigga
