I never heard a graph 16 that made me say "I need to go get that mixtape" NEVER!! Desert Storm days with Stack Bundles, Fab, Joe, Paul Cain, A Team, was 🔥.

"My name Grafh yall"

[@markusstevensakabiginfinit9523]

Ive been a Grafh fan for a long time. Its good to see get the recognition & publicly that he deserves

[@jacobbell3249]

Been a fan since Lil flip - where I'm from

[@kharyvines6971]

HOW MUCH OF HIS MUSIC DID YOU BUY

[@Ovakill22]

My name Grafh yo 😮 back in the high school days ❤

[@ChazBrown-t2q]

Budden n Grafh sound nothing alike stylistically by any means….voice,lyrically,etc…. Mixtape Joe washes most.

[@brandontoussaint1867]

I'm a huge Joe fan. Always have been. I agree their styles aren't alike but if you listen to focus by Joe it's undeniable

[@daedaejones5908]

Facts

[@phillyblunts914]

I never thought Joe sounded like Grafh but I remember the beef. Grafh was scorching and Budden was killing shit on the mixtape scene.

[@mrsdotp9787]

I never thought they sounded the same... but I remember Joe's sing for the moment freestyle

[@Jtbg80]

Same

[@GoodbyeOner]

I can only hear where the comparison came from when you listen to focus vs mixtape grafh. It’s more cadence than anything.

[@Mavrick232323]

Joe used the style on focus and a couple of clue mixtape freestyles but it wasn't as often as the label made it seem. They definitely spun that shit

[@phillyblunts914]

@@Mavrick232323 Joe had a hit song first so it would look crazy at that time to a broader audience

LOL that was the wildest tangent i ever heard. Memphis Bleek is a good addition to the show.

[@barrion2978]

Fam if u ain’t personally think Joe sounded like u then u knew he didn’t 🤦🏾‍♂️ the label spun u to crash out so u could be poppin from rap beef 😂😂😂

Ayoooo 😂😂 I remember the ‘beef’ but him and Joe don’t sound or have same style and I was there for this 😂😂

I can not wait til Joe responds to this 😁 *Birdman hand rub*

[@Dakid4rmdade]

Joe is not addressing this dude. He won't even mention his name if he does speak about him.

[@KingCristo]

@@Dakid4rmdade LoL I figured he may only bc of the platform he said it on. They talk bout Nore/Drink Champs often. But you right he may never bring it up. Unless he has/will on Patreon

Bleek should be a regular on show.Hes always had a good vibe

[@lucipher4082]

“I hate when dudes ask what’s up with you a Joe Budden” literal first thing I ever heard from Grafh…

[@JoshV_TX]

All the older rappers Joe used to have beef with seem to be cool with him. Now it’s the younger rappers that don’t like him cause, nowadays, criticism is hating and showing love is dickriding.

[@jfraz1992]

Exactly

[@TheBlackAbstract]

Ive never said or thought graph sounded like Jump Off! NEVER

[@PeriseanBaltimore]

me neither

[@KingCristo]

SAME. 🥴

[@shantaalli2865]

There was a moment, they sounded similar. Joe sounded like Grahf on the his song "Focus". But his style started change after that song.

[@KingCristo]

@@shantaalli2865 I can't lie yo. WOW. I most definitely stand corrected. Literally went back to listen to "Focus". That is most definitely Grafh's flow/cadence/style. Dang near STILL has that baseline of sound in his delivery. WOW. His new album, "GOD's Timing" is 🔥But yea I wonder the timeframe of how close when Grafh came out and when "Focus" dropped. 🫡 to you. Real talk. 💯

That Joe beef make me still find it hard to listen to Grafh nice as he is - Joe addressed this on “So Lonely” maturely at that. Salute to Grafh dope MC

[@MrJ1S]

Joe never rapped like grafh. I think its kinda impossible for almost anyone to rap like grafh. Flow and punch line style was 1 of 1 unmatched The weird thing was when ppl thought budden and rasheed Wallace was the same person 😂

[@MagzUpBr33zy]

Watering down the term “legend”. Just say u love the dude, that’s enough.

[@lordpuzzle9189]

grafh talkin bull shit lmao no way anyone said joe sounds like him

[@shantaalli2865]

They did sound similar at first. Joe had the song Focus that sounded. Like wgat Gragf was doing at that moment. But than Joe put out Pump it up, Fire. Than Joe started putting out mixtape after mixtape and Grahf didn't put anything really good out. Looking back it was really Sony trying to start a beef to get Gragf hot cause he really wasn't.
