Regular Joe has returned......
We all wanted Joey to go through them harsh realities so we could get some fire ass music (he even addresses it)....
but he's past all that now. Dude literally sounds like he's emotionally burned out. He's way past that hurt and angry Joey we saw on Mood Muzik 2.
Whereas before it sounded like he would be fighting the shyt, it sounds like he wearing that shyt like a coat now.
I really don't like throwing around race comparisons, but if Joey was looking like Cage or Slug or Yela, he'd be filling up arenas and there'd be millions of folks holding up lighters and cell phones and crying at his shows and heralding him as the most emotionally honest and therapeutic MC of all time...
cause he really do be speaking from a place we all be at, but we really can't just..... let the shyt show. Cause it makes us look weak.
He earned my money with this one. Album of the Year.
Man.... I can't help but agree...
