    i wish joey got as much recognition as Kendrick does. He comes out with songs with the same meaning and amazing lyrics but never gets the recognition he deserves

    • @widewatching338
      @widewatching338 9 років тому +161

      You gotta remember Kendrick is with DR.DRE and he gained popularity with G.O.O.D KID M.A.A.D CITY, those 2 things grant you mainstream

    I think this would be a great time for Joey and Kendrick to link up for a monumental track.

    • @JustBoredBru
      @JustBoredBru 9 років тому +54

      Joey kendrick and Cole would be the greatest link up in the history of hip hop

    • @coxb29
      @coxb29 9 років тому +23

      Yeah that track would kill the game right now and put lyrical hip hop back to the forefront.

    Joey did this music video 100% aware of every scene and clip. He's gets saved by the police, highlighting that he knows police do save lives, but unfortunately take others. He presents a scene that's extremely complicated on every level, which is reality. He ran because his fingerprints would've been on the gun, and he just didn't trust the system. We think it's so absurd that he ran but what would you do in that situation?

    They want another black man in penitentiary
    It's even hard for that man standing next to me
    Cause he could catch a bullet that was really meant for me
    It's like every step bring me close to destiny

    • @tamaramorache6184
      @tamaramorache6184 3 роки тому +2

      ​@@noneofyourbusiness1114Wrong. This video is so relevant to this day. Many police are not all bad but there are bad ones and racist ones (which is really bad) out there. There is a lot of evidence showing police officers shooting, killing, beating up, and harassing black people or executing them. Policing came out of the slave trade. There are a number of incidents showing police brutality and racism towards unarmed black people in this country such as Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Oscar Grant, Freddy Gray, Eric Garner, Ahmaud Arbery, Elijah Jovan McClain, Atatiana Koquice Jefferson, Tony Mcdade, Aiyana Jones, Akai Gurley and unfortunately, many others. Also, the youngest person to receive the electric chair was George Junius Stinney Jr. There was also an incident where police beat Pearl Pearson's Jr., a 64-year old deaf black man almost to the point of death while laughing about it. Don't forget that police beat up Martin Luther King Jr.'s and John Lewis's Freedom Riders group (with John lewis getting beaten up) on the Edmund Pettis bridge (the bridge was named after a KKK Grand dragon). Police also beat up Rodney King and got off for it in 1992 (however you feel about that incident, no human being should have been beaten like that or at all). Police also did not stop KKK members from bombing Tulsa Oklahoma which was known as Black Wallstreet at the time, nor did they stop whites from lynching and castrating a heavily mentally disabled and unarmed black male named Jesse Washington in Waco, Texas in 1916. Another report (in present day) shows two black men being arrested at Starbucks. Or more recently showing Lt. Nazario from Virginia, a soldier who served his country, being pepper sprayed by police. The very people who were supposed to be thanking him for his service in the military were attacking him.History also shows some police officers secretly being Ku Klux Klans members, a racist terrorist and white supremacist group that kill black people and anyone who is not white. Again, not all police are bad but police make mistakes. Many police are racist. Many police do not do their job. Cops don't just kill blacks but others too. They killed a homeless white male named Kelly Thomas in Orange County or the number of incidents with other people of color through police brutality. However, there is a high and scary list of police killing, harassing, or executing black people. This is why Joey Badass' music video is very relevant to this day. Your statement is ignorant and insensitive....and could be seen by some as racist.

    at the end, when joey wakes up from that whole thing being a dream, the same thing happens when he looks it the window but this time she is happy with the guy she is with (the girl that got shot), so that means joey wouldnt see her sitting on the stairs, they wouldnt have got robbed, she wouldnt have died, he wouldnt have either. i think the biggest message of this video is to show how differently things could turn out in life if one thing that happened during your day happened differently. in the story of the video, joey lives another day, if he did that one simple thing he wouldve been dead along with 2 others. joey badass, the type a nigga. i only hope that in the next years i can become someone people can look up to like joey, the underachievers, rocky, etc.

      Ransom Fox Capital steez was a rapper in Pro Era, Joeys rap group. He committed suicide a few years back, and if he was alive today, most think he would be better than joey.
