joey bada$$ on working with xxxtentacion

“X was special, he reminded me a lot of Steez. I remember going to Miami and working with him at his crib. Super humble, super competitive too, I haven’t felt that competitive nature with another artist since Steez. We just started surfing on KZbin for beats, we found the beat for Infinity and we literally just made that sh*t, right then and there. The imprint that he left in that short amount of time is going to influence the next generation. My generation was able to influence his, and he was able to influence the next one. He was a special artist because he had so much range, to me that’s what makes an artist special, like Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, X. I miss his heart, I miss his spirit, that was my dawg, RIP to X. I know him and Steez is like kicking it, that makes me happy.”

on joey’s new track “Head High”, he mentions this experience with x in the second verse (i believe? might’ve been first). that he talked to x on facetime and that joey immediately got the impression that x was gonna be a person he could go to with anything. and how he told him what he was missin on the album, and he didn’t take it as if joey was dissing it, but he listened. and look at this, infinity is one of my favourite songs ever, joey and x are both amazingly talented and beautiful artists and always will be an inspiration to this and the next generation. love❤️

[@MiniMight]

"what's your take on aliens" that sound like such an x thing to randomly ask 😭

[@exzisd]

TLDR: I have big respect for Joey. I think he will be in the game for generations from now as long as he keeps on the right path and stays so grounded the way he has for his career. Joey may not be the most poppin artist ever but the way he came on the scene so slick is how he's been going. As long as he plays his cards right and keeps his nose clean I imagine him in the rap game for decades from now the way Snoop Dogg one of the big OGs of his generation. I'm not saying Joey is on that level or even comparing the art but just the level of respect I have for Joey as an artist goes beyond his music. He's always been good vibes and shown a real appreciation for the art AND for the culture beyond JUST rap and about real things going on the world. He's spoken on issues that concern him even if people don't agree with him on some things and he's fumbled here and there he's always gotten back up and I respect a man or any person who stands on their word and stands FOR something rather than just standing for nothing, especially when standing for their own thoughts is contrary to popular culture or it would be "safer" to keep quiet and not rock the boat.
