[@kevinmendoza7200]

he's cornier than all of them

[@adrians-c2651]

True, but experience in the game definitely helps.

[@supertboi123]

joey really speaks to young black kids like myself... im trying to be a doctor, not a baller or a rapper or in the military like all my friends, but he still influences me and motivates me to be on my grind. its insane. he's only about 2 years older than me but i look up to him like a guru or something. i hope i can mature like he has

[@wyattbrowdy9206]

Good luck. Keep grinding

[@TOKEREAPER454]

Yes hope your still Grinding !

Where you at now my g

[@kray1414]

Thank God for Kendrick, Cole, Krit, Joey and all this cats with good sound and dope lyrics.

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

With Chance the Rapper, Vince Staples, Logic, A$AP Rocky, Daye Jack, Isaiah Rashad, Gambino, Vic Mensa, Raury, Joey Bada$$, and many many more talented new artists, the future of hip hop looks pretty damn promising. Not to mention you've got the leaders of the new generation like Drake, J Cole, Kendrick, Wale, Meek, really coming into their own and performing at a very high level. In my opinion, we are witnessing the New Golden Era of hip hop

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

Haha and I can't believe I forgot BIG Krit

[@Moddur]

Don't sleep on Mick Jenkins, all good rappers you listed tho.

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

Awww damn! I forgot about Mick too! He has such a more matured style that I tend to forget he's a young artist and only in his early twenties too. You're right tho

[@dragonbal230]

Don't forget Earl Sweatshirt!!!

[@BaconNsyrup6]

I didn't think anyone else knew about Daye Jack! Hell yeah bro

[@Schewschewan2000]

I hope Joey never gives up the fight to continue educating people and trying to inspire the masses thorough his music (whether it be 90s inspired or otherwise). He has such a beautiful spirit and you can tell that he is passionate about what he believes and I can honestly say that I support his mission 100%. It can be so hard to stay grounded in that industry, I just hope he isn't another one of those artists that we have to watch give up in front of our eyes

[@seanstroman6087]

Joey BADASS making a name for himself proud of this dude doing things his way and now its all coming to fruition B4.DA.$$ Support hip hop fans stop being fickle and listen to some genuine music by a MC who "GETS IT"

[@how_sway]

You heard the album yet or are you waiting on tuesday?

[@seanstroman6087]

How Sway I've heard it already but I gonna get my physical copy at his free show and I pre-ordered it on itunes

so much passion in this guy it's incredible

[@JRZ24]

hes da best

[@LeBeautifulMess]

It seems like more people are turning their backs on Joey because they feel he has "regressed" since 1999. It's like the public is ripping him for progressing into a different direction. Different does not mean bad. This strangely reminds me of a correlation of Batman and Gotham to Joey and Hip Hop. Gotham will paint him as a villain when Batman is the medicine it needs to get better. "He's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight." - Lt. James Gordon

[@Borninit384]

That was amazing 😂😂

[@noye___]

:D

[@AbstractRule]

The sad thing is people will sleep on Him, Black Dave, Perrion, and other NY artists but will give buzz to Troy Ave the cockiest shittiest rapper who gonna be poor as fuck in 4 years.

[@LeBeautifulMess]

AbstractRule It's completely disheartening. Rappers who actually have something of value to contribute to the industry continue to be swept under the rug because society perpetuates this idea of creating negative stereotypes and brainwashes the youth to continue to seek the same things. There is no balance. If society forced good rap (the medicine) on us like they continuously force garbage down our throats we would no longer want the garbage. Have you listened to a song you originally hated and it grew on you because it was forced upon you by radio stations and society so much so that you find yourself singing this subpar song even though you don't want to? That's true brainwashing.

[@LeBeautifulMess]

John Doe Like your mom.

[@Kuzcoera]

Wow Joey is a soulful ass dude, he has a lot of heart and is the realest rapper in the game right now

[@gloriempaka9474]

Finally a joey bada$$ interview

[@SunShine1732]

Joey is very real and smart as shit!! You can tell how intelligent he is!! A lot of wisdom for a 20 year old, and very humble!! Young man with an old soul!! I love listening to his interviews just as much as I love listening to his raps because whatever and wherever he's always real and on point!

[@MrMike101689]

You should check out Capital Steez most influential and full of wisdom to me.

East Coast Top 5 1. Joey Bada$$ 2. J. Cole 3. Action Bronson 4. Your Old Droog 5. Mick Jenkins

[@YinkaTimi]

Cole is from the South

[@PK14X]

I'm from the UK so I'm not quite sure but I think North Carolina isn't in the south.

[@YinkaTimi]

I'm from Ireland, but I'm pretty confident Cole's is Southern, just spits like the East Coast

[@omminnoremac]

my bad with mick jenkins but yh North Carolina is on the East Coast, but further south than New York and DC

[@Gatekeeper112]

North carolina is the south. Has always been, and the culture down here is very southern. Technically, NC, Georgia, SC and Florida are on the east coast in terms of bordering the Atlantic ocean but the culture down here is different than NYC or Boston.

[@seghyestroud3160]

Respect to the young man Joey Bada$$! Keep staying true to real Hip-Hop. Seeing someone his age clinging to the Boom Bap makes me proud. I'm a child of the Golden Era. Sean Ulloa

Joey badass is smart and knows exactly what he's saying when he speaks, some people just say shit just to say it..he speaks with meaning and message.

[@ericsmusic5927]

This comment isn't relevant 2 joey but you are a very pretty girl

[@youngmars6915]

I don’t understand how people can say Joey hasn’t been the same since 1999. He honestly hasn’t changed at all he only progressed with each project that he has dropped from 1999 to Summer Knights to B4DA$$ to AABA. It’s scary to see what he’s got in store in the next few yrs.

[@tambourinh]

"who is nelson? Is he black? Is he white?" "no, its a company" Lol

[@elansings]

tambourinh “as long as YOU love what you are doing, it doesn’t matter what anybody else things”

[@propaneK1982]

I could shed a tear. Young Bada$$ reminds me EXACTLY of me when I was his age. Same shit like him but I'm from Queens. I was bumpin Hip-Hop REALLY young like 3 yrs old & shit so I can relate to where he came from. I'm deadass proud of da kid for losing all those close homies and still keepin it pushin...I'm def. buying the album in stores lil bruh deserves it. Support real Hip-Hop!

[@williamtorry3312]

If you were born 1995 and beyond, you must go back and study the Golden Era of HipHop and then come back to Joey and you will have an understanding of were he is coming from. I'm proud of this dude.

[@tanoraleshey]

i love how socially aware & optimistic Joey is. He's a great artist and his album was a masterpiece! So proud of him!

[@LamarFrancis]

I don't usually like mentioning TBC in Hot 97 comments, but one thing I HAVE to give Hot 97 credit for is giving artists like Joey exposure, early. Like this isn't the first time he's been on here; he's been on here for a while (and they play his music...late at night...but they play it). Although I watch TBC JUST AS OFTEN as this channel, I can't expect to see someone like Joey on there until he's bigger. And the convo they just have is something I usually come here for. I like the balance between the channels, though.

[@stratos4101]

Just bought the album, support real hip hop! Happy Birthday Joey !!

[@lynneholy]

real af yo, you can tell that eBro looks down on the homie. RESPECT

[@RossB.x]

My phone is filled with Meek, Drake, Logic, Kendrick, Ab Soul, Gambino, J Cole & Joey Badass but I'll still bounce some Lil Herb, Lil Reese, LA Capone, A$AP Rocky & Rozay when I'm in the zone.

[@genovessi1290]

Same bro

[@SuperLegit]

joey speaking soo much knowledge that he could. I hope he doesn't get killed

[@JoseRivera-rr7hr]

In the fourth or fifth grade Nelson called me. Out of ignorance I promoted a local radio station that played the watered down and prompted negative behavior. I'm 19. I grew up not knowing hip-hop beside what I heard on the radio. Joey and his ideal 1990's sound brought me to the doing research and finding the golden era age. I can relate to Joey's epiphany. Going back to what was once played I now understand what was going on.

[@yaboidub]

This dude is gone be one of the greats just watch

[@kamashi36]

Joey definitely seems like a dude I would chill with. One of the rappers who actually want what's best for Hip-Hop. Much love and respect for him.

[@pyrosdestiny]

Very good interview Joey. Way more articulate than I expected. I agree with a lot of what he's saying too. Watered down rap is getting far too much rotation.

[@ASAPlina]

Yay I love joey bada$$ . I love when east coasters still give Pac his shine! He had the coolest parents ever .

People have different opinions I don't think most of them are hating just criticizing him because they want him to improve

[@benkuru6285]

Lol where's yours?? I get what you mean though. People do hate and for reasons that don't wrap my mind. But what you said?? Not only made you look dumb but also made you as ignorant as the people who criticize Joey. Js lol

[@karansaxena4503]

Been riding with Pro Era and joeys music for about 2 years now and he continues to be the same person he always has portrayed himself to be even after all the shit he dealt with and this album really about to set him over the top, just three more days

[@hundohundy5863]

I like Joey Badass, seen him live in Miami, with another of my favorite NY artist, Stann Smith...and honestly, Stann Smith is way more, fresher, doper, and original, I like Joey for what he brings, but this 90's style has been done over, and over again, and what Stann Smith does has not been done already. Still gonna go cop that B4DA$$ Tho, just wished these artists that's doing something way more original, gets more shine than artists that follow the same template that already has been proven before. Shout out to Hot 97 for having Joey up there tho.

[@rlking_872]

I agree, stann is way more dope than joey, i think astro needs to be mentioned too

[@TheBeastmode937]

tell me how what joeys doing has already been done before. yes he uses boom bap beats. but he has his own aesthetic. joey sounds like no other emcee he is one of the most original out right now, no one cares about your opinion about stann smith who is also pretty dope. theres really no such thing as "90s style" its just music man

[@crispinfrancis1]

Who tf is Stann Smith?

Joey basically goes off on the jews having an influence on what gets popular in hip hop. Hes right. Those 'higher powers' really could push that positive hip hop everywhere but choose to put out 'im in love with the coco' and it does, to some extent, affect the children.

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

Joey and Logic could probably out rap every artists in the industry honestly. You will never hear a diss track from any commercial rapper coming for them.

[@_nickxvi]

And kendrick

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

Naw not K Dot

[@ItsQuietTooQuiet]

kendrick is light years ahead of logic, logic is just a diet j cole

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

c Conceptually, yes, Kendrick is better. In any other way lyrically tho, he is not. I understand the "J Cole light" comparison because I felt that way about him too years ago. However, Logic's gradually creating his own sound and finding his lane year by year.

[@sdsdssification]

Logic is ok. J cole and joey are better than kendrick bar for bar. Joey is better than kendrick when he was his age. Kendrick was an average rapper imitating lil wayne.

[@sweetvictory89]

Joey Badass has kept it real from the beginning, from 1999 and now B4.Da.$$, he has been evolving and keeping consistent and at the same time real to himself, his message and his sound. Seen him live on the B4.Da.$$ tour and it's safe to say the future is bright for him and Pro Era!

[@christophersheppard9825]

This kid is special, his talent is beyond this generation of hip-hop... He's one album away from becoming one the of the "greatest" and possibly dominating the Hip-hop music industry. I remember hearing "Waves "for the first time... I thought to my self. ... yep, the Nas of thus generation. .. with guys like J Cole, Kendrick, Drake, Logic ,Gambino Joey .... we may be moving towards another "Golden Era "for hip-hop. .. In fact, I would like to see all these guys on one record. .. that would fuck the game up sure...Someone needs to tlet Ye, Em amd Jay.that If thier looking for "the throne". .. it's obviously in one of these guys possesion...... depending on you ask... it's obvious that there's deffinetly a major shift happening within the culture...

If you born in the late 90's you ain't really a 90's kid though. He was born in '95, by the time he knew what hiphop was the decade was over.

[@timkruse9912]

agree was confused at that part too lol

[@everybodyhatecris]

he aint said he a 90's kid, he was just influenced by the music that was being played at the time

[@timkruse9912]

[@JustBoredBru]

"He isn't a 90's kid" was born mid 90's fuck logic right

[@edwardkostynskyy174]

I feel like Joey Bada$$ is gonna start bein the greatest of all time cuz HE'S THE ONLY 20, to get dat kind of recognition at a young age is huge, if he's already bein listed in top 10 rappers so far,imagine wat he gon be at 25

[@ehaze]

I used to really like dude, i feel like he's regressed instead of progressed. im glad he's gaining some success. I dont hate him, i just fallin way back lol

[@ehaze]

***** i just feel like there's a huge drop off from "1999" to "Summer Knight". i didnt like his buckshot-esque delivery, it felt forced and too aggressive to where i felt it didnt sound right. IMO i feel he's best when his flow is calm and smooth like on most of the stuff on the Pro Era tape following "1999". But I can say the joints he put out from the album sound good so far...I'll probably give a spin when i get a chance

[@thankyoubasedgod93]

ehaze you gotta realize that he finished puberty by time Summer Knights rolled around; Joey has touched on this before. His voice got deeper and more raspy by nature which is why Summer Knights sounds alot different from 1999. Personally I think Summer Knights is the better tape.

[@jakeacosta43]

Earl, Joey and Vince are gonna carry the torch now that em and jay z's careers are coming to an end I hope. Btw I honestly think joey will turn out to be one of the greatest ever.

[@CASSOBLVCK]

Because i fuck with Joey so heavy i won't post that "I'm broke as fuck, check out my beats" shit

[@ToroidalVortexLove]

Joey keeps it realer than real on here, so much respect.

[@popetaytv]

Hip Hop to big to not have different Radio genres like rock and metal di. Most rap stations are essentially urban top 20s. Just make different radio lanes for rap. Joey and Migos shouldn't have to fight for the same radio slot.

[@Adam-kp9ym]

EXACTLY! you hit it right on the head, they needa create serious sub-genres within hip hop

[@popetaytv]

***** right it gets old hearing the same excuses on why certain artist don't get played. Certain artist might not be club popular but somebody like a Joey or Gambino clearly has followings that would like to hear them so let them be heard.

[@delados49]

***** Show off radio

[@Adam-kp9ym]

Yeah but when a album/song is being advertised, they aren't presented that way, that goes for awards shows, radio, etc. But i don't think this is too big of a deal. I'm for listenin to whatever you enjoy, its jus that this conversation always comes up at HOT

[@mxllaveli]

Damn that's a good point, never thought about it like that

[@angrldusty1000]

Loved this debut from Joey Bada$$,it's a good listen from start to finish.Hazeus View brought me back to teenage days when me and my friends were listening to Black Moon,No.99 man that's shit reminds so much of "Know The Ledge" by Eric B and Rakim,I'll be banging this LP for a very long time.Big up Joey Bada$$!!!!!

Was Ebro talking about Unorthodox produced by Premo? He really didn't like that joint are you serious man?

[@DatBoyPurp]

Ebro salty ass

[@Punjabispitta]

I actually think he was talking about a song off his new album called like Boom Bap or something and it featured premo. I heard it right after I saw this interview but I'm pretty sure that's the one he was taking about. I'm still surprised though cause I thought that was a very well lyrically crafted song and I've seen most people like it. Idk what Ebro's on man. :/

[@Punjabispitta]

Paper Tral$* I mean

[@Mor4dracoRules]

I'm actually gonna purchase this album. His music everything a hip hop head could ask for from an east coast rapper in second decade of the new millennium.

he's dope .

he's truly a great lyricist for his age , people especially these little children hate the fact that his flow represents .. true hip hop .

Long waited for this interview, thanks hot 97

[@Kaithelightworker]

As far as what gets played on the radio... I think that people only gravitate towards the garbage music because it gets played over & over so it gets to a point where you have no choice, but to like it. I'm sure when people first hear these songs they initially dislike the songs & recognize it's garbage, but after it's played over & over again you start to like it. It's mind control. I listen to all types of music, even some of the garbage... but I make sure I monitor it. That's why I can't listen to the radio.

[@gearsofwar2112]
