Joey Bada$$ - "Paper Trail$" (Official Music Video) 

in biggies last freestyle he said "I smack babies at their christening" and joey says in this song "biggie smacked me at my christening"

Wu Tang Clan's "C.R.E.A.M" - Cash rules everything around me Joey BadA$$ - Cash ruined everything around me

Before the money there was love But, before the money, it was tough Absolutely fucking love this line

Welcome. You are currently entering Hip Hop. Enjoy your trip.

"They say money is the root of all evil... I see money as the route of all people."

Joey Bada$$ easily has one of the most slept on albums of 2015. This is legendary.

Joey has that 90s soul flow we need more of. I thought he was going to blow up so much more than he did, shame people don’t have the capacity to understand this kid.

“Money ain’t a thing if I got it” That line is fucking deep. Money dictates my mood and confidence on such a deep level. But I love being hungry. I have to thank god that funds are good rn.

he has a classic rap vibe

"Traded in my Nikes for a new mic, I guess it's safe to say he sold his soles for a new life."

Idk but yall, but even in 2023 this shit hit hard af. God bless you Joey

Pure poetry. Real music, real rap, real message. Classic

Did anyone realize that at the beginning, joey trades in his nikes (the nike box) and at the end he opens the nike box up and there is a microphone. Relating to his line from Daily Routine "Traded in my Nikes for a new mic, i guess its safe to say he sold his sole(soul) for his new life.". Joey is a god damn genius.

"They say money is the root of all evil, i say money is the root of all people."word up. - Joey badass

No one talking about how nasty this beat is

5 years later this song and B4DA$$ still goated

Joey Bada$$ reminds me of a time when hip hop had a message

This song is so lyrically deep and meaningful that if it was an object it shoud've been put in a museum

This was my song of the decade on Spotify

With Joey....his storytelling is magic

This guy is underrated, hes dope af

"Traded in my nikes for a new mic, i guess it's safe to say he sold soles for his new life" - Joey Bada$$, 2012

Imagine STEEZ on this 🤦‍♂️

The way the beat comes in at the beginning is flawless

His best shit, Lyrically.

Anyone get the message in this video? "Traded in my Nikes for a new mic. I guess your could say I sold soles for my new life" - Joey. The story is focusing a bit on one of his best older lyrics. Genius.

"Cash ruined everything around me" this bar alone is enough to bring a tear to my eye

Honestly one of the best rappers of all time

Joey, Kendrick, Chance, Earl, and Cole are the leaders of this new age of hip-hop! 

I was searching Joey Graceffa and I clicked on this by mistake...and now I'm obsessed...

THANK YOU STEEZ 🙏47 TILL INFINITY ❗️❗️❗️

“It’s the dollar dollar bill y’all, it’s the dollar dollar bills, it’s the dollar bill that kills (,) ya’ll.” Ts 🔥🔥

joey, mick jenkins and kendrick are at the top of hip hop right now

This guy is a genius, for trying to bring back the old school, and he's actually doing it. I love it. Too bad stupid people only give credit to mainstream, and 90% of mainstream is shit. Fuck the system. Fuck society.

Still and will always be blasting this. This is what music is supposed to do, be timeless and from the heart.

Rest In Peace Johnny you shown me how value this song was hard to believe you are gone until we met again ❤️ fly high 🕊

Premier NEVER EVER disappoints with his production

If anyones listening in 2021 just know you're a legend

1:02 This beat and this flow was a little like 90s rap, something that is very rare nowadays, congratulations

Dj Premier still going at it

C.R.E.A.M.(1993) - Cash rules everything around me Paper Trail$(2015) - Cash ruined everything around me.

Feel bad for people that havent heard this....

So much energy on this flow and delivery

*Joey Bada$$* spits from the heart. I love this joint! I wish *Nas* could've been on this track as well.

Best song on the album without doubt. Joey is up there with then likes of Kendrick, Lupe, Logic, Cole, K.R.I.T, Los, Soul. Fuck people who say hip hop is dying right now.

Incredible. His delivery, bars, everything is on point

I have a goosebumps because of his strong words. I can feel that vibe and I can see his point👌🏽✌🏽

I love how Joey's flow has shades of Method Man in it. Really fits with the parallels with C.R.E.A.M.

"The kid ain't been the same Since Biggie smacked me at my christening" Refers to the line that Biggie Smalls rapped "Smacking Babies at their Christening"

“Before the money there was love, but before the money it was tough”

Joey is a savior. he gave got bless to my music collections.

Hopefully I go to one of his concerts before I die

joey badass is just pure genius. gives me hope for modern hip hop( not saying there aren't any other people who do, but he's the main reviver of true hip hop)

“Multiply my worth and make you work for me for 20 hours”🔥

Joey knows that if you don't spit from the heart there is no point in it THIS is what rap was meant to be

Too bad it's too intelligent to be on the radio.

It's a damn shame being catchy blows up more than being real. Like why this song barely broke 5 mil. in a year, But songs like "Broccoli" and "One Night" hit millions in a week?

B4 DA $$ it was tough

This Brings Back Hella Memories🗣 Back When Shit Was Smoov 💯

is it me or is b4da$$ an underrated album

"Cash ruin everything around me." A nice take on C.R.E.A.M, but wu tang is still the OG

easily one of the greatest rap tracks ever made.

October 2019 and I'm still here. Classic Joey.

I hope Joey does a video for hazeus view next. This vid was dope tho

In order: Joey Badass J Cole Kendrick Big Krit

I still remember when this dropped on Spotify... this & “devastated”.

This man became a part of my playlist so easily.

Underground best rap. styleswonder full

So conscious and aware of his surroundings. Joey Bada$$ is the next genius rapper that can really push the boundaries of the genre and his own culture. Have to see him live and try my best to meet him. Gonna be a very influential figure one day

This is honestly one of the best hip hop songs ever. Lyrics, flow & beat are all legendary.

Bro joey's flow is fricking amazing

Who realize he drop the music video on 2pac birthday. ✊🏽

No one really pays attention to rappers like him anymore. Wonder why?

That reminds me of the 90´s. Well, i like it!

He was about or below 20yrs old when he dropped this album! damn this guy was ahead of his time

Does anyone else love this part? 1:01

Damn I'm late af this is my favorite track from B4DA$$

You a goat if you listening to this 2021

The way he rides the flow into the beat drop goes so hard.
