Just dropped today and wanted to share with all who haven't hear it yet. Nice to see that 90's sound rap is still being made.

And if you haven't treat yourself to 1999

1999 is definitely a treat. I've only made it halfway through the album cause of homework but it's definitely living up to the hype. What'd you think of Summer Knights?

not a fan of his hardcore, fake, raspy-as-hell voice he puts on nowadays. Christ conscious is a tight song, but his voice kinda takes me out of it.

This kids talent is unreal, it shows when he freestyles. I recommend listening to this one 2 or 3 times to pick it all up, starts at 10:30.

Curry Chicken, OCB, Christ Conscious, and Big Dusty are my favorites, just to name a few.

That sounds like a name a 12 year old rapper would come up with. Dudes probably a joke

Which is why 1999 will probably be his best project. And I totally get the resentment towards his name, I was the same way until my friend basically forced me to listen to 1999

kids get so uncomfortable with his name haha

the amount of development he has gone through since 1999 is unbelievable. i loved that tape, and am stoked to hear the new album after class today. (on christ conscious, at least) he has reallllllly figured out how to channel the type of energy he brings

I totally get he is trying new shit with his music career, and that's totally fine, its just not for me at all. I agree with you on the 1999 comment. hard to top that mixtape, some awesome tracks on there. That Dilla beat on snakes is one of my all-time favorites.

All his songs sound the same. He's a good rapper who has clever wordplay sometimes, but his music is very forgettable. His voice is annoying too

I personally liked it a lot, though it wasn't quite as good as 1999. OCB is a great song, the production is great and he has matured a bunch since his old days.

For all the name haters its not Badass it's B4Da$$ aka B4 Da Money, essentially saying he was doin this shit before the money came in and he'll be doing it long after it stops coming. if that still isn't enough just listen to his music and forget the name

I like some of the music, I like the beast coast movement in general, but honestly, skill aside, Joey is monotonous for me. I can't do any of his projects top to bottom because so much of it sounds a like to me.

I like Flatbush Zombies and The Underachievers a lot more. Not fair to compare an individual to a group for obvious reasons, but you catch my drift.

Plus, I've been listening to the old We Got it 4 Cheap series that Clipse (Re-Up Gang) put out like a decade ago and I can't listen to anything else right now. Ab Liva and Sandman are savants.

I can get hating on him for his music but not liking his music just because he has a cheesy name is narrow-minded as fuck. IMO B4.da $$ is a dope album name because it plays on his rapper name and its a nostalgic album (Before the money) so I think its pretty cool and it doesn't take away from the quality of the music.

pretty good album, although I dont think he should have dropped Christ Conscious early. Paper Trail$ is probably my favorite new song.
