Joey Bada$$ on Being at The Nas and Jay-Z Level 

Started writing it at an earlier age

facts dude should be humble he got a long way to go, do like his music though

16 but 19 when it came out

All American badass?

Lies lies lies.......he needs to sell his soul first to get......all the above mentioned sold out to get to where they are at

@@thulanimakhoba3212But all great did it before they “sold” they soul, if anything they got arguably worse after the fame and success.

​​@@JaleelJuillet erroneous, selling their soul is what put them in the door, times are different so he should be thankful for the run he's had, why gain the world just to lose your soul smh.

Not gonna happen. Joey released his 1st album in 2012 and he still hasn’t reached that level. We knew Nas and Jay were special after their 1st albums. Joey’s not even mentioned with Kendrick, Cole, and Drake.

Or in

@arawakwarrior I’m from Harlem and we don’t rock w fam

@arawakwarrior facts

@arawakwarrior Yeah like Joey can't really be on Nas or Jay's level at this point it doesn't really matter what he comes out with. He would need to make it big in films like Ice Cube or Ludacris or Pac to come close to that level. He wont be able to do it with just music unless he just changes his whole style and even then like I dont care if he comes out with the best album ever I think it would be hot for a quick second then ignored for the next big thing pretty quickly. Similar to a guy like Lupe Fiasco like the dude is nasty but just cant really be on that level at this point. Joey would need to make himself into an "Icon" and it just isnt happening I dont think even if he were shot and killed or something like that. I honestly dont think being killed makes you a better rapper suddenly or anything like I'll be honest I think both Nipsey and Pop smoke would have fell off by now even if they didnt get murdered and kept making tracks.

Dude been delusional he a good actor though

Cause Cole was in his mid 20s when he dropped those 😂 Nas was 16-17 when he wrote Illmatic, Joey was 17 when he put out 1999. Other than those two, there aren’t many rappers who can say they dropped classics that young

​@@ki11acam_23 A Tribe Called Quest (Q- Tip & Phife Dawg), DJ Quik, NWA (Eazy E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre & the D.O.C) and OutKast (Andre 3000 & Big Boi).

@@Mr.Majestic77 Tribe were all 20 when they released their debut, NWA were in their 20s (Cube was 19) when they debuted, Quik debuted right before he turned 21. All of those rappers were 2-3+ years older than Nas and Joey when they made their respective debuts, with the exception of Kast who were 18-19

@@ki11acam_23 OutKast was still in high school (Tri-Cities High School in East Point, Georgia. They like in 11th going to the 12th ) when they first recorded music. I was in the 9th when they were in the 11th.

@@Mr.Majestic77 yea but we not talmbout when they started making music, it’s when they made their debut project. Joey made 1999 at 17.

😂😂😂 and he is one of them

Black Thought second tier?? What's wrong with you??

@@bernabefernandeztouceda7315 who you have Black Thought ahead of? GZA, Common, Redman, Ras Kass, Killer Mike, Elzhi, Jay Electronica, Lupe Fiasco, Kendrick Lamer and J.Cole???

@@Mr.Majestic77 Black Thought is up there with the greats. Lyrics-wise, album-wise. He's not necessarily my favorite, I'm more of a GZA/Wu-Tang guy, but he's definitely above sone rappers you mentioned like Schoolboy Q, Rocky, Ab-Soul, Gibbs... C'mon

Nah real talk when he dropped that mixtape at the time the buzz was he was the next Nas cuz of his age and content and effortless rhymes BUT that def faded away after cap died and pro era started breaking up and he started going commercial. But the was a time the culture and media were comparing him to nas

Not at all

I do since 2012

and he still only getting bigger in the film industry too

He need to focus on acting cause he ain't on no nas level

@@TheBulletzgottishow20he needs to clock in with some great producers and make some quality albums. Notsaying hell be nas but has potential to be a great. He needs some classic songs or albums to even be top 20 ny

@@t-4579 he need to switch up the flow he had a couple good songs on his last project 2000 but it's not a classic but it's solid

steez would’ve been nas level or perhaps he was

You buggin he IS at that level 2000 proves that

Stop. He’s better

1999 better than Anything Rocky has ever done and 2000 better than Testing 💀💀

You’re right, he’s better.

@@undertakerblaise256 what hit has he made better than praise the lord?😆 all his shit is boring , he is nothing but a cheap copy of mf doom , him and steez suck balls

@@markcoleman9765 Live ,Love Asap blows everything that Joey or any new New York artist of the past 15 years has done , the full album is sonically perfect and modern , not this sleepy washed up boom bap ,with shitty "conscious" lyrics

What?

What are you smoking dude??¿?????

🛑

Come on stop, you going too far with that. I’m not the biggest Badass fan like that but you buggin out comparing to Pras, that’s disrespectful man. Joey’s lyrical level way higher than Pras

^ You’re right, it is disrespectful….to Pras. Pras is probably better lyrically. 😂

@@busymike Trolling at an all time high

​@@busymikefacts thats what troy ave said he was mediocre they was mad when he said nobody bump joey and me and joey both 28 I remember when he started

​@@anthonycelestin3559he not nas level he more like ogc

Joey is forgetting about Capital Steez

listen to 1999, one of the best artists of the new generation

imagine saying that joey mumbles, clown
