I feel like “pretty solid” is underrating it too... Bro Thee Way Eye See It is a fucking classic, like from track 1 to 18... the way he blended this whole Tape into a movie for reel (entendres , everything... it’s just a master piece for real & the fact it’s still not like talked about is a spit in the face to CJ... I even think it’s better then Joey’s Summer Knights (my opinion , not saying it is fact)
Its hurts my soul a little to see how Joey reppin the pro era like hes the leader. Imean the way he answear question hes gettin, dont have that effect on me like when Capital Steez speaked.Steez talkin, was always on a other Level,talking deeply about how life really is and tell us to open Our eyes and think for ourself! Like dont "eat" everthing you hear and so on... even hes pro`s didnt get him always. He is P.E! I think the original mindframe to whats pro era is today, is kind of lost. It is some small holes in the pro era Foundation now ! Joey is change the pro era to its own thing now! I get that" you already heard that kind of answear before" feeling when i hear joey talk, its "nothing special" really. Im not hatin, im just sayin how i feel bout pro era now and before. But i know in of day, it will be almost impossible to find a young Bright guy like Steez ever again. what a loss for hip hop, damn i miss Capital Steez, rest in peace !
I just watched a video and he said Steez appointed him as the leader ... I know I'm two years late but I just wanted to say that because I felt the same way as you until I found out he didn't take that position but was given that position . the video is Lyric Genius survival tactics meaning .
I feel bad tho for CJ and other crew members. They don't get as much shine as Joey. Don't get me wrong, I love Joey Bad, but give the other members chances to drop tapes.
Riggs Official I completely agree, this may be one of the reasons that Capital steez felt bad and sick... Joey got all the fame despite that Capital steez was better and that he started the whole PRO ERA crew
you're right, but Joey manager was only interested in Joey. but Joey wasn't gonna come up without his brothers. it wasn't really Joey's fault. plus, Steez was more of a conscious rapper more than Joey, & conscious rap doesn't sell that much (all though that's my favorite kind if hip-hop), so he thought Joey was gonna make the most money, & he was probably right.
Kirk Knight - Late Knight Special is a complete banger album & Nyck Caution has also dropped a recent mixtape so each member is slowly coming up in the game
I support CJ Fly and the rest of the Pro Era crew 100%. Looking forward to see how B4 DA $$ turns out. All those guys are very talented. Everything from that camp has been solid to Awesome. Wish STEEZ was still around. Stay working in that booth CJ.
they brushed him off like he was just buggin out .. he knew his worth and what his material and image was .. the fans understood and after he left its been further understood who he was .. he was above
You can tell cj felt some type of way Joey left him for that Jay meeting. That was fucked up. Cj was probably the 2nd best behind steez imo.I don't know these niggas personally or ever met em but from thee way eye see it, these niggas basically let Joey takeover pro era. I understand that cinematic was really after Joey but damn ya founded that shit together. Joey had 2 mixtapes and an album before half of them even came out with their own. Not hatin but I just don't see pro era being anybody's but Joeys I mean that shit is legally owned by him n his mom. Maybe I'm just buggin. You can tell when other members of the group are pretty much irrelevant when they do an interview and all they do is get asked about another member and barely about their own music. That shit kinda irks me.Thee way eye see it was a dope ass timeless mixtape btw.
That's the way it is with TDE & Kendrick. The rest of TDE is dope. I fuck with Soul & Zay more than Dot. Same with Dreamville. J Cole is the head of that clique & I fuck with Bas & Cozz. I guess it comes down to who would be a better leader then Joey? With Steez gone, who do you think could be that guy? I fuck with everybody in PE, specially CJ, & Nyck, but I think Joey is that leader-ish kind of guy. Joey deserves to be that guy. I don't have a problem with that, but I understand what you're saying.
+90059 Be The Zip yea but you can't compare dreamville to Pro Era bro... The pros started that shit and it was like 4 or 5 of them. Dreamville was originally started by just cole.
Capital STEEZ was truly a master. His genius intelligence was from God. If he was alive, his name would be put down on record as one of the greatest. He was only 19 when he died.
To me CJ Fly and King Steez was the humble people in the Pro Era. Forget Joey Badass he sucks. He was hating on Steez. To tell you the truth Steez started to have mix feelings about Joey. Joey's jamaican flow sucks. CJ Fly knew that steez tweeted everybody. It was probably Joey's idea to say no. You can tell on the look on his face when he said no. It was somewhere by 10:50-10:59 on the video. RIP Steez. #Long Live Steelo
"In July, Joey and his mother officially inked a deal with Shipes, and soon after registered Pro Era as an LLC owned by her and Joey." Thats from an article on fader. But from what Ive heard/read, it was steez who started ProEra. That would definitley bother me if i was in steez's shoes.
I know this video is super old but I can’t stand how pro era lies about steez’s death, Steez told his mom he was upset and wanted to hurt himself and told dirty sanchez this too, obviously there is an extent you can go to help your friends but they knew before hand he just didn’t say anything.
CJ needs to drop a solo project with no features, that just may make these ignorant people pull him from under Joey's shadow. And all the crew members are so slept on its not even funny. I wouldn't be surprised if there was in issue with money, advertising, and just overall exposure. They may fuck around and break up
I listened to it already, multipls times but his lyricism is still shrouded from features. A completely independent solo project like Forest Hills Drive might be an immense kick start
lol steez tried to predict the end of the world he was so into old mythology, he had in his mind that the world would end as the Mayan calender predicted on 12.25.12! he decided he rather take his own life then suffer the demise from any other event.... smh rip that nigga was high on that moon rock
The calendar said 12.12.12 it passed already before he did it. He jumped in between the 23 and 24 of December (23+24) = 47 Also, 12.23.12, (12+23+12) =47. He believed it was his destiny to jump because of his obsession with the number 47.
