I told him I just wanted to be the modern day Marvin Gaye He said you might wanna rethink that Cause I know where your father stay I'll possess him to pick up the chrome Pop you in the dome for trying to tell the people for what's going on FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.
If you liked this make sure to listen to Walk with me, Downfall, State of you, Calm Down, Pray for me and Forgive Me. Joe is so underrated........what a shame.
Outcast, role reversal, world keep spinning (whole escape route album crazy), Mama Said, Pain won't stop, no love lost outro...jus to add a few more gems
Korey Ghard when I tell people Joey is one of my top 5 I also tell them you gotta be going through some shit or be really intelligent to get why joe is one of the best
@@aaronhopkins9324 yessir Joe heavily influenced by Pac! He recites his bars openly & proudly n thats dope to me.. With age & maturity you can tell Joe grew into wanting to be a leader in the black community which is also a trait from Pac, Joey always cared for his people but to quote him 'hurt ppl hurt ppl' he prolly had enough shit up on his plate with the women & drugs.. Rappers like Pac Budden & Cole are important for the culture cus they give everything they have back to us, they use that mic for a different purpose than their own benefit.. you feel me?
@@HollerAtAlex very true. Kendrick to. Get tried hearing the same shit. But when u actually feel music rather than just hear u know that the are special
Yeah, because he didnt sell his soul to the business, all these fake ass rappers get air time because they sold out. just like he says here about what the devil told him to do to get attention, with the slim jeans and aim your songs at party and fun.
So nobody think there's something interesting about Crooked I's verse. There's Metaphors then there's just man spitting straight truth about the elite industry.
Everything about this song is amazing. The production, arrangements, the singing on the hook, Joe's paranoia and Crooks truth. Followed by that guitar solo.
ive heard this song over and over and over. Greats records will never get old they just get put away for a second then get dusted off and put back in the record player. one of the illest hiphop records ive heard in a while
The first time I heard this piece of art I played it for a month straight. Side Note: As a non American I didn't even know Marvin Gaye was killed by his own father until this song.
Same hate to make excuses but deltession2kept me from being a great lyricist.I use to be told i was jusy as good as the greats lyrically but depressiom and not being able tp concentrate has always stopped me...maybe next life time
People who really know, know what this song is about, and just one more reason why Joe isn't as successful as he should be. There's only so high you can go so dope/good you can be. But if you don't "Pay That Price" You will never fully be recognized as a worldwide success.
i love joe's music but this man's ego fuck his carreer he did it in defjam with jay with em in slaughterhouse with his team on the podcast joe should be bigger music wise but it is what it is and for crook he makes real real rap music and theres only so much people who listen to real real rap
Exactly!. " aim my music towards the gangstas and whores, but i just wanted to be the modern day marvin gay" This is to funnel impressionable young people through the profitable prison systems.
Before this song i know that Marvin Gay died, but i didn't know how. until 'Crooked I' told the devil that "he wanted to be the modern day Marvin Gaye"..
Hands down. Joey is one of the GOATS and I'll smack anyone who disagree's with me. Y'all youngins...don't bother me with that foolery. None of your sheep are fit to compete in this match....no names needed to mention-you know who you R......Kelly! LOL! #goatmc
Lia Bracey for really, not only is he an elite lyricist, he’s hands down the best scout in hip hop history.... The team he accumulated (the 4 quarters of the slaughter) (almost had Nino bless on there too). Dude deserves his props. He too sensitive off the mic though which is his only downfall.
Joe is awesome! And why? He's real, and he helps alot of people. This aint no complain, I for example am bipolar. And I write deep stuff because it feels good. Don't take medication cuz I've tried but it takes away my personality. So I for one Joe helps with he's brilliant music through life ups and downs. Your the man Joe!!
I've always said 20 years from now when future generations are working their way thru raps past...budden' work will rise to the top and be more property appreciated
That 3rd verse my gosh I just wanna be the modern day Marvin Gaye he said I might wanna rethink that cause I know where your father stay I possess him to pick up the chrome and pop ya dome for tryna tell the people WHATS going on Rip Marvin
I remember back in like 2013 when I got a CD from my buddy with some titled fresh hot jams in sharpie and this song was on it and still to this day I appreciated that very much this song has got me through the worst of the worst very underrated and the gutair solo at the end always tears me up man

Nobody messing with Joe Budden in making emotional and excellent albums, dude makes great music and his production is excellent and when it comes to hard core bars nobody messing with crooked I.
Man seeing even the small number of people listening to this just want to thank you for listening to real hip hop
Murphe Lee !!!
We're all here, more of us would comment but we're busy bumping this.. I feel you tho!
1 million now man 💯💯
Hes generic
we been sleeping on a giant and we didnt know
The marvin gaye metaphor is the craziest lines i heard in a while
Right?!
YES!!!!!
You ain't lying
I told him I just wanted to be the modern day Marvin Gaye
He said you might wanna rethink that
Cause I know where your father stay
I'll possess him to pick up the chrome
Pop you in the dome for trying to tell the people for what's going on
FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.
That's what really happened
Yupp, I know
that line was tough
That line was hard as fucc
Truth
Crooked’s verse is deadly
Strong🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Possibly one of the sickest rap verses ever written.
BRO HE'S A TRUE MC. THIS GENERATION IS SOOO CLUELESS ON HIP-HOP
Both are.
If you liked this make sure to listen to Walk with me, Downfall, State of you, Calm Down, Pray for me and Forgive Me. Joe is so underrated........what a shame.
Walk with me is one of my favorite songs of all time
***** Find a way/Whatever it takes, Inseperable, Freight train , Runaway, Dear Diary, Angel in my life, Calm Down. Just to name a few.
10 minutes is my favorite record from him, fucking amazing...
joe aint underrated at all every rapper that can spit always give joe his respect on the mic.people get on him for the corny shit he does as a person
Outcast, role reversal, world keep spinning (whole escape route album crazy), Mama Said, Pain won't stop, no love lost outro...jus to add a few more gems
First day of 2024 and this song still hits … miss Joe making music but happy to see where he is at today !
Two of the best to ever do it 🙏🏼
2024💪🏾❤️🔥💪🏾
💯👌🏼
crooked i just rapped a verse that got potential to be one of the greatest verses in rap music...that ryhme scheme is incredible.
no disrespect to Joe .. but Crooked i came with his best.
Facts. Joe even said himself in an interview he did that he doesn't know anyone that can out rap Crooked.
Dorrell Collins
not to be a stan but he cant hang with Em
i'd hate to say, but he could be one of the few that could
Rowan Williams
hang maybe.. not outshine
the reason Joe budden is amazing is because he comes from a heart and mental aspect ,he goes deep
Right
Korey Ghard when I tell people Joey is one of my top 5 I also tell them you gotta be going through some shit or be really intelligent to get why joe is one of the best
Tupac and dmx
@@aaronhopkins9324 yessir Joe heavily influenced by Pac! He recites his bars openly & proudly n thats dope to me..

Such a shame people don't give Budden his credit. Dude is poetically blessed.
all of slaughter is.. hip hop a business full of radio pop beats over lyrics.. joey gets slept on bcc he chose respect over a check.
MrHsharris we are the ones blessed because of his poetry
David Williams word
Yeah, because he didnt sell his soul to the business, all these fake ass rappers get air time because they sold out. just like he says here about what the devil told him to do to get attention, with the slim jeans and aim your songs at party and fun.
His peers do.
So nobody think there's something interesting about Crooked I's verse. There's Metaphors then there's just man spitting straight truth about the elite industry.
Yes Budden is underrated, but its even worse how bad Crooked is underrated.
Adam - S who’s more underrated? Budden or Crooked?
@@gideonbrock4624 I'd say Joey cause his body of work is wayyy bigger
Crooked was wack. Can't control his flow or words, on this song at least.
Crooked is nice af but his albums are like scattered thoughts. There is no direction.
Crooked I snapped on this record!
"your friends gonna be your demise, some of em is me in disguise...."
Crazy bars
Kevin Mahoney I wish I could like that comment twice
insane meaning to the people that get it...
so selfish you aren't friends with anyone that's not just like you
...then they become exactly like you.
Cold blooded sheesh
Realest dude I ever heard spit man. Puts hit heart on a track, but more lyrical than most that have wore their heart on their sleeve.
any budden song with a guitar riff at the end never disappoints
You right. I like when he steps back and lets the guitar bleed too
Everything about this song is amazing. The production, arrangements, the singing on the hook, Joe's paranoia and Crooks truth. Followed by that guitar solo.
The arrangement is a sample of The Bombay Theme by A.R. Rahman
Joe Brutal, and Crooked I is a Beast. 😭😭🔥🙌🏾. Even in 2021, verse still slaps harder than Covid. 💯
THIS IS WAT WE CALL RAP FROM THE PLANET WEAR I AM FROM
Yes sir
indeed... real shit.
Incredible music, Joey delivers again
Where*
like for real
ive heard this song over and over and over. Greats records will never get old they just get put away for a second then get dusted off and put back in the record player. one of the illest hiphop records ive heard in a while
Agreed. When this song was released, I played the shit out of it. Stopped listening for a bit and now it's back on repeat. Lol
One of the best songs ever made, beat, lyrics and damn that outro! Now I gotta listen to it until i hate it.
This is actually a typical Joe Budden sound lately. You should listen to A Loose Quarter and Some Love Lost.
+Noctis Caelum Right
Been a few years and I still love it lol
The outro is sick!
The first time I heard this piece of art I played it for a month straight.
Side Note: As a non American I didn't even know Marvin Gaye was killed by his own father until this song.
Trying to protect his mother from his father.
That guitar in the end, BRUH! gave me chills all the way down to my butt hair. WORD!
Pause!!! But word it was fire lol
thank god you said that I was looking for someone to say that ...next level
Dreamerz vibes
Joe has demons stemmed from depression, in that light I can relate, tortured souls
And addiction
Right only mothafuckas that went threw and goes threw that shit and deals with that shit knows THE REAL FEEL Budden knows one of ma inspirations!
Yep, me as well
At least we have souls
Same hate to make excuses but deltession2kept me from being a great lyricist.I use to be told i was jusy as good as the greats lyrically but depressiom and not being able tp concentrate has always stopped me...maybe next life time
8 years ago… To this day this song keeps me sane in dark places. Need this on Apple Music
Same. Stay strong 💪🏾
Crooked I destroyed this beat!
Salute to that verse. Feel that shit 100.
Don't get me wrong, Joe straight bodied this also.
this song is 🔥🔥 but that Marvin Gaye reference from crooked i gave me chills
yo son. this joint touch ya soul fam
I know that shyt was hella crazy right?!?
Crooked I had a better verse but they both killed it....this is real RAP music
Who still here!?? 💯🙏💯
Joe Budden is seriously my favourite rapper right now.
Stanly Manly definitely I’m doubling back on what I missed and Good Lord Lol And this Crooked Verse 🔥🔥🔥
For sure
Budden a real rapper.
6 years I'm still listening 🎧
31st August 2044 lol 😅
This verse reminds me why I love crooked so much
People who really know, know what this song is about, and just one more reason why Joe isn't as successful as he should be. There's only so high you can go so dope/good you can be. But if you don't "Pay That Price" You will never fully be recognized as a worldwide success.
i love joe's music but this man's ego fuck his carreer he did it in defjam with jay with em in slaughterhouse with his team on the podcast joe should be bigger music wise but it is what it is and for crook he makes real real rap music and theres only so much people who listen to real real rap
Exactly!. " aim my music towards the gangstas and whores, but i just wanted to be the modern day marvin gay" This is to funnel impressionable young people through the profitable prison systems.
Joe budden is very highly rated.... by a few. Why isn't it more? Dude's been fire for well over a decade
"When cesar was stabbed in the back he was the one who placed the knife in brutus fist" god damn
....now he got his hands in our music biz...
His whole verse was insane
still makes me tear up....fuckin amazing...
word son
It's so sad realizing how slept on joe budden is
Before this song i know that Marvin Gay died, but i didn't know how. until 'Crooked I' told the devil that "he wanted to be the modern day Marvin Gaye"..
One of Joe Biden’s best songs. Crooked I killed it.
Sick beat. The strings at the beginning were sampled from a.r rahman bombay.
Joe Budden is dope he said " never slipping, never threatening, i think they 4gettin , 4 a second non- fiction ain't a Weapon " Wow
This is straight cold blooded murder from 2 lyricist...king crooked I nuff salute from the west coast homie...💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
7 years later. Thank you Joey.
Joe Budden is so underrated! This album is great!
Expect the UnexpectedPG !!!
Xx19/ I'm still not understanding how Budden isn't lyrically respected? Retired/ still that work/hip hop.
Idk how joe budden does it- explaining everything im trying to figure out.
Crooked I exposin some real true shit crazy
Whats wrong with people that sit there banging out to Migos when music like this exists...raps in a horrible state
Sucks to see that people now and days appreciate Yachty more than these two actual artist.
Kxng crooked is the greatest rapper dead or alive.. been for years 🐐
Hands down. Joey is one of the GOATS and I'll smack anyone who disagree's with me. Y'all youngins...don't bother me with that foolery. None of your sheep are fit to compete in this match....no names needed to mention-you know who you R......Kelly! LOL! #goatmc
Lia Bracey for really, not only is he an elite lyricist, he’s hands down the best scout in hip hop history....
The team he accumulated (the 4 quarters of the slaughter) (almost had Nino bless on there too). Dude deserves his props.
He too sensitive off the mic though which is his only downfall.
Aiight. Real Talk.💯
Joe really have some great songs to listen to everyday.💯💯🔥✌️✌️💪
This track is one of the best I've ever heard
Need instrumental. Crooked killed it n this joey at his best 👌
yes indeed we do!!!
the realest shit I ever heard...4 years on.
Still listening in 2019...and going to continue in 2020 🔥
Don’t ever sellout, that’s the message in a nutshell.
Joe is awesome! And why? He's real, and he helps alot of people. This aint no complain, I for example am bipolar. And I write deep stuff because it feels good. Don't take medication cuz I've tried but it takes away my personality. So I for one Joe helps with he's brilliant music through life ups and downs. Your the man Joe!!
Now THIS is the Joe Budden I wanna hear. Amazing.
Finally some hip hop in this whack year of music
Lookup horseshoe gang they are crooked i's brothers and they dropped 11 mixtapes this year
wootwutwoot 12 now and that 12th, woooooo, them dudes gonna be a problem
Billy Mcbilly it's going down hill fast. Joe budden is the truth
"your friends gonna be your demise, some of em is me in disguise"
Mr Smith this line had me sittin fucking sideways.
Joe is talented and underrated af man...
Jon Coleman Yeah but he is also a hip-hop diva who loves the smell of his own farts but he is a talented artist, I can't deny...
I've always said 20 years from now when future generations are working their way thru raps past...budden' work will rise to the top and be more property appreciated
its cause the sheep only look at hits...if that the macklemore better than slaughterhouse
Jon Coleman true he was but now he a podcast nigga
Jon Coleman it's because he's woke u know this shit is real!
That guitar solo tho....
The g solo
Solo
Solo
Solo
Solo
Let's go parks!!!!! Them strings are crazy at the end
Absolute perfection! The beat is incredible, the verses are incredible and the outro is beyond words :')!!
💯, the outro is sick
That 3rd verse my gosh
I just wanna be the modern day Marvin Gaye he said I might wanna rethink that cause I know where your father stay I possess him to pick up the chrome and pop ya dome for tryna tell the people WHATS going on
Rip Marvin
The devil greeted me wit a smile ..He said that he's been here for awhile..Damn!
Joe has to be one of the most underrated in the last decade .
Another classic on the budden charts
Gawd this songs 🔥🔥🔥but that hook really gives me goose bumps
dreadlocks777 this song is dark as fuck
people sleep on Budden... WILDLY
This song literally kept me up all night

This joint is sic!!!
Shoulda saved this for the next Slaughterhouse album. SH badly needs concept songs like this.
Yeah they really do
Sabra Nott now we know why this wasn’t on the album unfortunately 🤦🏾♂️
I remember back in like 2013 when I got a CD from my buddy with some titled fresh hot jams in sharpie and this song was on it and still to this day I appreciated that very much this song has got me through the worst of the worst very underrated and the gutair solo at the end always tears me up man
[Bridge: Novel]
Last night I heard a voice say I've been getting in my own way
I think I'm falling off the deep end so I haven't been sleepin'
Last night I heard a voice in my head
Said it's an emergency, said he had some work for me
[Verse 1: Joe Budden]
He said fuck the world or maybe he said it in jest
I told him that I already did multiple times
Truthfully I wasn't never impressed
But to contradict that matter again
To the point where nothing matters again
More money, more problems, more cases, more lawyers involved
And more fame just means more paranoia involved
I done made friends, lost friends, same hour
Tried to use my truths as a means to gain power
Uh, same tricks, same cowards
Why I be like fuck any nigga that ain't ours
Never slipping, never threatened
I think they forgetting for a second non-fiction ain't a weapon
Thoughts could be hypnotic, nah, just neurotic
Called oft psychotic, flawed by off logic, but I got this
[Chorus: Joe Budden]
Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room
And we greeted with a smile
Said that he'd been there for a while
Last night I heard the devil talking in my head
Said this an emergency
Said he had some words for me
He said
[Verse 2: Joe Budden]
He said
He said one day your friends gon' be your demise
Said a few of 'em is me in disguise
Deceit in his eyes, said I like the teaching me wise
But the leeches I don't need in my life, please be advised
Real coy, listening, still annoyed
Said these hoes fill a void of holes you still avoid
Said you searching, you don't know what to do
You thinking you fucking 'em when really they fucking you
Look, said they see you and feast
Said you give the love to the ones that need it the least
But wait, you can't put me on trial for my errors
I learned, trial and error, the how I couldn't tell ya
You talking to the realest, nah, just a realist
Nah, you just a nigga don't recognize what the real is
Thoughts could be hypnotic, thoughts get out of pocket
You'll be powerless, get lost, you try to stop it, I got this
[Chorus: Joe Budden]
Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room
And we greeted with a smile
Said that he'd been there for a while
Last night I heard the devil talking in my head
Said this an emergency
Said he had some words for me
He said
[Verse 3: Crooked I]
He said, "What you doin' this music for?
I got news for ya
If you don't sell your soul to me then you just gon' ruin your future, bruh
See, I just cracked open this Goose
And I mixed that elixir with juice then I was introduced to Lucifer
In a dark room, his tongue sharp as a harpoon
We started discussin' things
He told me 'bout his minions and his underlings
Told me that he was Geppetto of the ghetto
Had snake niggas on his puppet strings, taught him betrayal and other schemes
He ain't new to this, he true to this
Said he been doin' this since Jesus was crossed
For thirty pieces of silver and he sealed the deal with a Judas kiss
When Caesar was stabbed in the back
He was the one who placed the knife in Brutus fist
Now he got his hands in our music biz (he said)
Told me to ignore the war on the poor
Aim my music more towards the whores and drug lords
And the fans'll pour through the doors
Sell out my tours, get awards galore
I told him I just wanted to be the modern day Marvin Gaye
He said, "You might wanna rethink that
'Cause I know where your father stay, I'll possess him
To pick up the chrome, pop you in your dome for tryna tell the people what's goin' on"
He said, "That's where you goin' wrong
There's more demons than angels in this biz, you on your own
Wanna hit the big screen? Switch your sixteens
Get some slim jeans, forget your big dreams, I'll make your wrist gleam
Get your big cream, hope you're lis'ning"
I just had to switch to his team, uh, it was tempting
The contract was in blood
He said, "I know you sick of trafficking drugs - sign it"
"Nah, I got this"
[Chorus: Joe Budden]
Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room
And we greeted with a smile
Said that he'd been there for a while
Last night I heard the devil talking in my head
Said this an emergency
Said he had some words for me
He said
[Bridge: Novel]
Last night I heard a voice say I've been getting in my own way
I think I'm falling off the deep end so I haven't been sleepin'
Last night I heard a voice in my head
Said it's an emergency, said he had some work for me
[Outro]
I think the weed started fucking with a nigga
Crookeds verse one of the best ever.
Yall in that moooood yet ?! Top 5 dead or alive , mouse
Em and slaughter top 5 hands down
it's foolish thay these two don't get the props due to them
Crooked I went off!!!!!
This is what Welcome to: Our House should've sounded like.
"I think the weed startin' to fuck wit a ninja" 🎵🎸🎵🎸...that whole outro is addicting
0:46 - 0:53 Tried to use my truths as a means to gain power...
Same tricks, same cowards, that's why I be like "FUCK" any ni**a that ain't ours..!
... This line right here!
Last night I heard a voice say I'll be getting it my own way
I think I'm falling off the deep end so I haven't been sleepin'
Last night I heard a voice in my head
Said it's an emergency, said he had some work for me
He said fuck the world or maybe he said it in jest
I told him that I already did multiple times
Truthfully I wasn't never impressed
But to contradict that matter again
To the point where nothing matters again
More money, more problems, more cases, more lawyers involved
And more fame just means more paranoia involved
I done made friends, lost friends, same hour
Tried to use my troops as a means to gain power
Uh, same tricks, same cowards
Why I be like fuck any nigga that ain't ours
Never slipping, never threatened
I think they forgetting for a second non-fiction ain't a weapon
Thoughts could be hypnotic, nah, just neurotic
Called oft psychotic, flawed by off logic, but I got this
Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room
And we greeted with a smile
Said that he had been there for a while
Last night I heard the devil talking in my head
Said this is an emergency, said he had some work for me
He said
He said one day your friends gon' be your demise
Said a few of 'em is me in disguise
Deceit in his eyes, said I like the teaching me wise
But the leeches I don't need in my life, please be advised
Real coy, listening, still annoyed
Said these hoes fill a void, all hoes, you still a boy
Said you searching, you don't know what to do
You thinking you fucking 'em when really they fucking you
Look, said they see you on feats
Said you give the love to the ones that need it the least
But wait, you can't put me on trial for my errors
I learned, trial and error, the how I couldn't tell ya
You talking to the realest, nah, just a realist
Nah, you just a nigga don't recognize what the real is
Thoughts could be hypnotic, thoughts get out of pocket
You'll be powerless, get lost, you try to stop it, I got this
Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room
And we greeted with a smile
Said that he had been there for a while
Last night I heard the devil talking in my head
Said this is an emergency, said he had some work for me
He said
He said what you doing this music for, I got news for ya
If you don't sell your soul to me
Then you just gon' ruin your future, bruh
See, I just cracked open this Goose
And I mixed that elixir with juice
Then I was introduced to Lucifer
In a dark room, his tongue as sharp as a harpoon
We started discussing things
He told me about his minions and his underlings
Told me that he was Gepetto of the ghetto
Had snake niggas on his puppet strings
Taught him betrayal and other schemes
He ain't new to this, he true to this, said he been doing this
Since Jesus was crossed for thirty pieces of silver
And he sealed the deal with a Judas kiss
When Ceasar was stabbed in the back
He was the one who placed the knife in Brutus fist
Now he got his hands in our music biz
Told me to ignore the war and the poor
Aim my music more towards the whores and drug lords
And the fans are pourin' through the doors
Sell out my tours, get awards galore
I told him I just wanted to be the modern day Marvin Gaye
He said you might wanna rethink that
Cause I know where your father stay
I'll possess him to pick up the chrome
Pop you in the dome for trying to tell the people for what's going on
He said that's where you're going wrong
It's more demons than angels in this biz, you're on your own
Wanna hit the big screens switch your sixteens
Get some slim jeans, get your big dreams
Or make your wrist gleam, get your big cream, hope you're listening
I just had to switch to his team, uh, it was tempting
The contract was in blood
He said I know you sick of trafficking drugs - sign it
Nah, I got this
Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room
And we greeted with a smile
Said that he had been there for a while
Last night I heard the devil talking in my head
Said this is an emergency, said he had some work for me
He said
Last night I heard a voice say I'll be getting it my own way
I think I'm falling off the deep end
Joe buddens omg . Top 10 dead or alive. Pay attention to the contents of his music
*SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!*
Nah I got this🙏
Thats ironic
I love Budden but personally Crooked killed it on this one,deep and oh that rhyme scheme...
crooked always kills it
They both killed it
Pyle dawg! Crooked killed this track deeply!
Pyle crooked I!!
Nobody messing with Joe Budden in making emotional and excellent albums, dude makes great music and his production is excellent and when it comes to hard core bars nobody messing with crooked I.
