Hearing Diamond in the beginning saddened me at first listen.. The track is the first time i can recall hearing Joe speak on social issues.

Watching the video took it to another level..

The video made me angry. To the point I can't watch it again, at least while I'm at work.

:ohhh: You right I was just thinking I hadn't heard Joe rap like this before. I stopped messing with him though around when Padded Room came out. @H.J.Duck is there any projects I need to check out that I missed? I know you prolly gonna say all of em :lolbron: but what's the best ones I missed, I'll start with those.

lmao.

after Padded Room?

I'd go with
Escape Route (REALLY poorly mixed though)
Mood Muzik 4 (4.5 for extra couple of songs)
All Love Lost (go with the deluxe version though, "Only Human" which was one of the best songs on Some Love Lost EP is on the deluxe verison)


you're right about Joe not rapping about these issues on this level before. a line or verse here & there but not full songs just focused on this.

I didn't really give Padded Room a listen either so I'm gonna check that out too but yeah I think that was the first album from him I didn't pay much attention too.

I think I might if checked escape route too as I remember the mixing being off.

Thanks breh I'll check those out soon :salute:



Yeah I was shocked cuz Joe seems like a smart dude and very aware but I'm really feeling this track hopefully we get to see this side of him more in the future too

It's funny...
Because he was in the Budden/drake dis track thread talking about how the dis didn't count because there was protests going on

Dude is a fukking clown. How he still has positive rep is beyond me. Grown ass man calling himself The R&B Room on a rap board interrupting talk of police brutality to dikk ride a suburban Canadian. You can't make this shyt up.

Mood Muzik 2 imo is his best work and in the conversation with best mixtape of all-time.

We really need to get back to bars. Me and my girl saw The Roots for free in Manhattan. It was amazing. My first time seeing them. It felt good to see Black Though just spittin. Switchin up genre's with effortless transitions got me hyped.

I say that to say Joey is doing his thing. I like the fact that he doesnt give a fukk about industry politics. He put out 2 diss records and a hard hitting track speaking on some real shyt. Without compromising himself. Salute that man :salute:
