Imma be honest ya'll. Joey Bada$$...

[KTD2]

He's great.

I'd like to hear him on some beats that don't sound like the 90s and see if he still delivers.

 

[spliz]

shyt is cray fam..nikkas aint satisfied with nothin in this game...

 

[Rominati]

nikkas wanna cry that Asap Rocky is a industry plant even tho son dropped multiple videos on his own, signed a deal then dropped a mixtape


But nikkas dont wanna say Badass is a plant when he had Big Krit name dropping his first video ever ?


Do ya nikkas even know who the fukk Johnny Shipes is?

Cinematic Music Group C.E.O. Jonny Shipes Talks Major Labels Blues, Signing Joey Bada$$, and Sony RED Partnership | Vibe



Thats like me saying. Nah son Rapper XYZ aint a plant he doing it all on his own, Jimmy Iovine is jus his manager


Edit: Ya doofy nikkas think he jus fell into that BET cypher? They left the door open and he jus snuck his way in?

 

[28 Gramz]

Alot of these cats are straight up ignoring my post about how Johnny Shipes made him scrap his original mixtape and image and built up this new "Hip hop horray " shyt he on


All Right on the first page too



Edit: 16th post in thread to be specific

It's called artist development, I know it seems like a crazy hair brained industry scheme..but they've actually been doing it since the late 80's. Or did you think every rappers image/sound was the same as it was on their demo/early work?

 

[TEKBEATZ]

Anyone that likes to keep that grimey boom bap hip hop I'm all for it.

But I thought Joey B is doing it independent ? I thought he was jus a kid from brooklyn who picked up a AZ CD and started having visions?


So...so....so what your actually saying is this kid was signed the whole time and his label put him thru a fake ass hip hop 90s crash course as "artist development", before he even dropped a song?





Gosh darn 28 Gramz I would of neva guessed

Son..do u even know the kid?..how do u know how he got into 90s shyt?...do u know how the industry works?..wtf would he be an industry plant for?..its not like that style is gonna sell or some shyt...instead of fukkin complaining about a fukkin teenager who actually has more MC skills than a lot of the GROWN muhfukkas comin out and gettin praise daily...u would rather shyt on him and artistic motives just cause u dont fukk wit his music?...im glad he makin nikkas mad tho cause than mean hes doin somethin right..dude has MAD room to develop but instead of seeing that he does respect the golden era of this shyt and fukks wit it heavy..u would rather shyt on him...but I see this mainly happens when rappers have a NY sound. .
shyt is funny to me...

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

nikka not even that nice with the spit either. I was looking at him at the BET cypher like

BET Cypher 2012 (A$AP ROCKY, Childish Gambino, Driicky Graham, Angel Haze, & Joey Bada$$) - YouTube


nikka needs to find another gimmick, that 90s shyt not gon last him thru 2013

childish was the only one that I was feeling

Iono man, maybe its cuz im more involved in the music scene in NY than you, and I kno lil more about the biz, but this whole shyt to me screams FAKE. Im not hating on the kid skillz. Im mad about how these execs are trying to play the average consumer for a dummy. He is a niche artist. He is not meant to sell. He is meant to bring more attention to Shipes label and get him a joint deal with the majors and financial backing. Which if you go a couple posts back he acheived.


Shipes lowkey was behind Nipsey Hussle (Bullets aint got no name was sponsored by him), Big Krit (n his whole REAL southerner music sthcik), now he is trying to do this shyt wit Badass. Its all jus marketing. And ya dumbassess are falling for it like some fukkin children. But its wateva man calm down b, I aint trying to hurt your lil dream of wat this really is.


Werent you the same nikka who was like "Bu bu he is jus a manager "




Jus research Johnny Shipes a lil bit then get back to me.

Im talking about the buisness, A&R, and marketing aspect of things plehboi. You obviously arent in the loop. Because I jus had to deflate ya fukking bubble on the reality of marketing in 2012, and the illusion of a Joey fukkin Badass. You didnt even kno who Johnny Shipes was, your not in loop my guy .



Your jus a listener, a customer, a hobbist, a fan, a phony, a stan . Its ok, I understand

 

[LucaBrasi]

I went thru the exact same shyt breh

You hit the fukking needle with inhuman precision

Good post my nikka

You witnessed the REALEST post I ever wrote, That's why it's precise I really lived that "young nicca in love with the 90's life"

 

[NigerianDonDada]

want to hear him spit on some updated beats tho.

Ohh..thats what it is..even tho ive been around plenty of artists and labels producers and all these people myself...im not in the loop cause some random dude on the coli says it who doesn't know me from a can of paint...aight..

Give it up son , I exposed ya shyt. If your from New York and dont even know who Johnny Shipes is, there's no way you can be involved on a professional or serious level. You and ya homeboys recording music in ya basement doesnt count


Shipes is a pretty big staple in the underground NY scene, he even helped get Currensy situated with DD172 and em back in the day. He was behind all them collabs between Currensy, DZA, Krit, and Nip
