I was watching an old VHS tape recorded in 1999 in Brazil of my parents driving around with the family and the song that Joey Bada$$ sampled was playing on the radio. It was Lo Borges and it made me want to revisit the song. It had been so long since I heard that specific version. Revisiting the song it brought me here and I'm also glad I could reminisce on a good oldie and discover another one at the same time 😊
This song was made the night when Joey met Statik Selektah for the first time, when he came to his crib. Within 15 minutes of meeting this song was done.
That last Milton Nascimento sentence really gives so much soul to the beat for some kind of reason. It's a masterpiece, and one of the first Joey songs that struck me
I was like 14 when I would listen to this album. I realized now that there were so many bars that flew over my head. I didn’t catch CJ’s whole woman/weed scheme until now and i’m 22
_Both knew our role (roll), this was more than just a crush_ ----- it took me a long time to find out this whole song is personification of weed as a woman.
The sample is from brasil's CLUBE DA ESQUINA (the song is called Tudo o que você podia ser). You guys should get to know brasilian music for real. I feel so proud listening to this
I'm not trying to be one of those people..but its "Hey yo don't tell me patient with no doctor prescription" and Joey was 17 at the moment. But shouts to you for listening to some real shit!
This Whole Album was LEGENDARY... CJs lines make you scrunch up yo face like "Nigga Damn" 🤐 I'll tell my Grandkids about Joey bruh much love to Pro Era keep up the beast coast
Pro Era in your area!🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻 This mixtape is a masterpiece and the song's so viby! It lifts up my mood in a moment. Looking forward to Joey's next album! Beast Coast!!!!🙌🏽🔥
I'd say those two tapes were his prime lyrically. With B4DA$$ and AABA he tried to hone his craft as an artist more so than a rapper. Being able to spit double or quadruple entendres is awesome but it wont be enough at one point.
Lyrics Yo, what's the word word Pass the herbs Pass the herbs, pass the herbs Had to learn, had to learn (had To learn) We just had to burn It all started with this special herb Then after that it came to sexual words I'm meeting shorty up to patch her a verse She played Bonnie and I collide with a vibe when I'm inside the walls I cut my shorties on the side cause I decide that she all Mine's, I keep her in my eyes at all times Not because I don't trust her I just, can't get enough of her On the phone late until her mom dukes be cussing her She played the hustler and I'm like mad customers Man swear I'm in love and ain't afraid to admit it Be blowing up her line, man I swear I'm addicted, but It's all cool cause when in love we all fools They say men lie and women lay naked that's all foolin' Numbers don't matter after the first night Right, so what the fuck is love at the first sight If you ask me, another stupid analogy Made to cover flaws in the female anatomy But I'm a keep gradually telling these bitches Don't front, (don't front), don't front, (don't front) Don't front, (don- don't front), don't front though I got some weed and some fronto (Don't front) And you know I always hunt hoes I tell 'em leave but don't walk through the front door Now don't front, (don't front), don't front, (don't front) Check, (don- don- don't front) It's like a massacre when mass occur I got a massive urge but I had to learn Heard you had it on lock so I pass the word I stash the herb, sit back observe That she make me feel good is all I ask of her In the clouds who would've known, We would've crash and burn I prayed long and hard, hoping things will last with her I ain't mad at her But I really wish that it ain't have to hurt Let's be blunt we're best buds Both knew our role this is more than just a crush I used to pick her up longing for our lips to touch But now I rarely even see her In everybody hood not even the law enforcement can keep up She ain't want no one to know, so I kept it on the low Any time that we would kick it, I make sure I had some toe I thought I knew her better than anyone would know Bagged her at her friends, but home were I would take her Didn't know that she was a ho, that only wanted my paper Whenever I was with her, my mind would just relax Could've been the hot topic cause I swore we were a match and I admit it girl you fine as hell Don't know your perfume but you exert the finest smells You tryna find her then follow her trail She left a few old lovers inside of a jail That's all a part of the tale Hey yo don't tell me be patient with no doctor prescription Emotionless positions and provocative visions Should've known you missed a note like the octave was switching Remember hate the game but she's spotting some glitches It's a simulation yeah, stimulation Take off your shirt, let me feel manipulative My heart like the Himalayas but yeah I got a slay her I'm crushing on you sweetheart but yeah I'm a player Sort of like Isaiah so baby let me coach you And I know I'm not the first jerk to approach you So this ain't nothing new to you, nothing unusual Nothing you ain't used to so my nothing is useable We all try when you go bye, we all high Truth is I'm never home and I'm cold if that's where the heart lies So label me as heartless, it's not that I don't care I just learned to use my heart less, gain sanity and lost stress It put me in a state that just started taking a toll on me Kept the secrets you told me, emotions I would hold beneath Always kept the L so I know defeat Said everything will feel much better soon as you know I leave Not sure if it's the meds that made you think I'm mediocre I was still body with a glove on, you know I'm a cold ma I'm in animal pause, but you got an Ark When it flooded, used to always feel like Noah And I know I know her Had these kind of skills I had to show her So I told her I'm the nigga she see on the posters Came back through and I put it in the holster Just had to teach her one time Put it down, don't really give a fuck though Don't front And tell your bitch don't front though Don't front
Criminally underrated song
Head chunks
One of my favorites from Joey
This an absurdly good song. I can’t believe Joey was 17 when he made this
the fucking word play is fucking insane. i've listened to this song a million times and still find little things i didnt hear lol.
IM STILL ALIVE BABY!!

Memories....this song will NEVER get old.
this whole album will NEVER get old. definition of classic
Deadass, b. This is that dig in the crates to reminisce type classic.
Alexis Chambers TELL THESE BITCHES DON'T FRONT!
200% AGREE BRO
NEVER
4 years later this still one of Joey's best
and people say they his new stuff is better...
his new stuff is trash compared to this
You’re right
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
And 4 years after this comment it's still true 🔥🔥🔥
CJ’s flow is dope as hell.
“Heard you had it on lock so I pass the word (Password)/ I stash the herb, sit back observe
I swear the first 20 seconds of this song gives me such a huge nostalgic feeling. Also I still be jamming to this entire album to this day. Joey Baddy
the brazilian sample of Lô Borges - Tudo Que Você Podia Ser brings this feeling
This got that a tribe called quest and lp feel 93 era sound
One of the best albums of the 2010s. Real bars over amazing production and features
I think cj is rapping about weed the entire time making it sound like he’s talking about a girl which is pretty cool
"she played bonnie and i collide (Clyde) wit her" jus ripppppin it
He never misses

Absolutely beautiful bars.
Yes sir. Fire.

Stoned off some dank and on 5 grams of green vein Kratom. This track hits the spot right now, a shame joey doesn't make music like this anymore.
Wait til 2000, only a couple days away now
The original track length is 4:20...
Pro Era in your area!🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻
This mixtape is a masterpiece and the song's so viby! It lifts up my mood in a moment. Looking forward to Joey's next album!
Beast Coast!!!!🙌🏽🔥
David Khvadagiani I really hope Joey comes back to his 1999 and Summer Knights sound.
This shit takes me back to better times man. I wasn’t worried bout shit back then smoking with the homies n bumping classic Pro era.
I was looking for the Eminem one... Not disappointed one bit!
This is sooooo fucking good.
This sample is from a brazilian song named Tudo Que Podia Ser from Lô Borges
1999 and Summer Knights his prime
Keenan Taylor B4DA$$ is great too, and AABA is good but not great like the rest
PoloFlo Nothing else he made is _1999_ level though
I'd say those two tapes were his prime lyrically. With B4DA$$ and AABA he tried to hone his craft as an artist more so than a rapper. Being able to spit double or quadruple entendres is awesome but it wont be enough at one point.
I looooooovvvveee this song the record scratch the beat the off beat don’t fronts
1999 FOREVAAA DA ERAAA 🙌🏽
Milton Nascimento carai!
My favorite track by him
Cool
Lyrics
Yo, what's the word word
Pass the herbs
Pass the herbs, pass the herbs
Had to learn, had to learn (had To learn)
We just had to burn
It all started with this special herb
Then after that it came to sexual words
I'm meeting shorty up to patch her a verse
She played Bonnie and I collide with a vibe when I'm inside the walls
I cut my shorties on the side cause I decide that she all
Mine's, I keep her in my eyes at all times
Not because I don't trust her I just, can't get enough of her
On the phone late until her mom dukes be cussing her
She played the hustler and I'm like mad customers
Man swear I'm in love and ain't afraid to admit it
Be blowing up her line, man I swear I'm addicted, but
It's all cool cause when in love we all fools
They say men lie and women lay naked that's all foolin'
Numbers don't matter after the first night
Right, so what the fuck is love at the first sight
If you ask me, another stupid analogy
Made to cover flaws in the female anatomy
But I'm a keep gradually telling these bitches
Don't front, (don't front), don't front, (don't front)
Don't front, (don- don't front), don't front though
I got some weed and some fronto
(Don't front)
And you know I always hunt hoes
I tell 'em leave but don't walk through the front door
Now don't front, (don't front), don't front, (don't front)
Check, (don- don- don't front)
It's like a massacre when mass occur
I got a massive urge but I had to learn
Heard you had it on lock so I pass the word
I stash the herb, sit back observe
That she make me feel good is all I ask of her
In the clouds who would've known, We would've crash and burn
I prayed long and hard, hoping things will last with her
I ain't mad at her
But I really wish that it ain't have to hurt
Let's be blunt we're best buds
Both knew our role this is more than just a crush
I used to pick her up longing for our lips to touch
But now I rarely even see her
In everybody hood not even the law enforcement can keep up
She ain't want no one to know, so I kept it on the low
Any time that we would kick it, I make sure I had some toe
I thought I knew her better than anyone would know
Bagged her at her friends, but home were I would take her
Didn't know that she was a ho, that only wanted my paper
Whenever I was with her, my mind would just relax
Could've been the hot topic cause I swore we were a match and
I admit it girl you fine as hell
Don't know your perfume but you exert the finest smells
You tryna find her then follow her trail
She left a few old lovers inside of a jail
That's all a part of the tale
Hey yo don't tell me be patient with no doctor prescription
Emotionless positions and provocative visions
Should've known you missed a note like the octave was switching
Remember hate the game but she's spotting some glitches
It's a simulation yeah, stimulation
Take off your shirt, let me feel manipulative
My heart like the Himalayas but yeah I got a slay her
I'm crushing on you sweetheart but yeah I'm a player
Sort of like Isaiah so baby let me coach you
And I know I'm not the first jerk to approach you
So this ain't nothing new to you, nothing unusual
Nothing you ain't used to so my nothing is useable
We all try when you go bye, we all high
Truth is I'm never home and I'm cold if that's where the heart lies
So label me as heartless, it's not that I don't care
I just learned to use my heart less, gain sanity and lost stress
It put me in a state that just started taking a toll on me
Kept the secrets you told me, emotions I would hold beneath
Always kept the L so I know defeat
Said everything will feel much better soon as you know I leave
Not sure if it's the meds that made you think I'm mediocre
I was still body with a glove on, you know I'm a cold ma
I'm in animal pause, but you got an Ark
When it flooded, used to always feel like Noah
And I know I know her
Had these kind of skills I had to show her
So I told her I'm the nigga she see on the posters
Came back through and I put it in the holster
Just had to teach her one time
Put it down, don't really give a fuck though
Don't front
And tell your bitch don't front though
Don't front
Deserves a music video
