Albums Joey Badass - Lonely At The Top (Discussion Thread)

[Barney Rubble]

Supaflee might be the worst song I've heard this year

 

[Lhark]

He should've at least got Tyler to tweak SUPAFLEE if he couldn't get ahold of P. That beat is missing something

 

[u mad son?]

This album is nice man, real nice.

Joey badass is second only to Kendrick/gibbs for me.... I think he's better than gibbs though.

You know what you're getting with this dude, you know your not getting nothing mid, nothing half assed like those 90s mass appeal legends.

This album is nice. I really appreciate that Supaflee track... I've never actually heard a top mc try and salute the early 2000 NY sound like that, that's really something different

You’d think I’m a time traveler the way I predicted this thread would not do anywhere near the numbers the thread where some of yall were hyping that clout chasing boring beef and the album wouldn’t do anything first week.

How about you just focus on whether the album is dope or not, and not on the thread "numbers" it's doing on an online forum? Y'all weird.

U have horrible taste in hip hop

Album is dope

Only weak song is Supaflee. The Rulers Back would have been a way better 3rd track and would have heightened the albums first half.

Highroller thumps

Ready To Love sounds like something that would get heavy rotation on Hot 97 /Power 105

This here.

Only a couple joints on this that I can't f*ck with. He has the OG team on this, but just not for enough of the production. The whole project should've just been straight Pro Era with Chuck and Kirk on the boards. But that "Speedin' Through The Rain" joint sounds like vintage Joey. He shouldn't leave that zone. Ever!

Your parents lost.

You come into a thread about music and talk about everything, but the actual music. You should be embarrassed. FOH.

Gomd or stay on it idc u wouldn’t dare say to me so ik im dealing with a p*ssy goof not wasting anymore time on yo old ass

 

[BigMan]

It’s aight-weakest Joey album to me. Feels like a mixtape/EP

Bars are there but he needs better beats and substance I thought the production on his last two album were much better

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Joey really battled 5 dudes at once only to end up dropping this... Damn

Supaflee is just...I don't know how that even makes it out the studio... It's just a bad Lord Willin tribute I guess

The rest is just okay, lyrics are strong overall I would say

Overall this project is fine, but it does nothing to move the needle for his rap career after the year he had...

I enjoyed his 2000 album a lot more

I mean, he ain't wrong, what do you wanna discuss then? Cuz that shyt is mid. If there's nothing to discuss as far as quality, might as well discuss the numbers.

 

[tysigna]

Album is a waste of time. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

Then it should be easy to critique the music without resorting to bashing it based on sales (which dont mean shyt in the streaming era) or thecoli.com thread page count

Joey was spittin...this to me had a feel of a cool mixtape that should be a precursor for a dope album
