Nigha really thought he had the juice from that mid west coast east coast beef

No offense but the fact that beef involved that corny battle rapper dude daylyt told me everything I needed to know. I think I played a song and didn’t make it through 30 seconds. Joey’s people should’ve told him to leave that alone.

He was never meant to blow up as that's not the type of music he makes. Joey was always above the underground but not close to mainstream. Not sure why he's recently tried to play it like he was bigger than that but he had a very successful music career. Maybe he could've expanded his lane but he's been focused on acting so taking 5 year breaks between albums wasn't going to help.

I'm sure he could still do a tour because it's not like he's playing large venues. Probably not a ticket sales issue.

I'm a big Joey fan but let's not try to deny he didn't attempt some mainstream singles on nearly everyone of his albums...






Revenge was supposed to be on 2000 but fans killed it so bad he decided to leave it off.

1999-Summer Knights-Long B4.Da.$$ & All AmeriKKKan Bada$$ is still a great run of mixtapes & albums that tons of rappers would love to have.

2000 was a decent project too even though it sounded disjointed at times.

There's no forward motion with this guy, his rhyme schemes are stuck in 2017 and he coastin' off bein' a skilled NY rapper in a era with no new competition from the region.
Ray called him and his whole crew irrelevant washed bums in hip-hop.
Ray capitalized on his questionable relationship with Diddy during Diddy's trial.
Ray goin' at Joey, and Joey not doin' his due diligence to pass Ray to get to Kendrick.
This gone be Joey's problem, he been spoiled and his skills affected.

Thought he would have a huge cult following plus some mainstream appeal from the TV stuff

One thing he didnt do enough was collab with artists from NY though
