"Written In The Stars"

I can just picture him playing this as the last song at festivals. Whole song is a vibe. Sean C and LV did their thing on that live beat.

REAL HIP HOP

Dope ass album from Front to Back. Don't usually like sequeals but this shyt was piff.

Where I Belong

6 tracks in this shyt is great beat selection is perfect and the flow is too

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Glad he went back to his original vibe. That last album was too pop/commercial. This is a perfect balance.

Wtf was commercial about his last album? Outside of Devasted possibly

Been listening to this album most of the day and quite frankly this is just another underwhelming Joey album.

I can’t say there is a bad song on the album. The problem is there aren’t many great songs, which pretty much define Joeys career as a rapper

Joey is a good rapper but not a great one. His albums tend to be good but never great.

This is rubbish

I'm along this line of thinking for this album. Outside of the introspective joints and the Steezy odes it just felt like it was missing something. I want to say soul, but I cant think of another adjective at the moment.

He went for a jiggy vibe and he just ain't believable to me as that type of rapper/person. AZ over some of this production might be dope

I hate it's still a sticking point damn near 10 yrs later for me but there was a song on Summer Knights (I've gotta listen back and I'll post it) that sounded like a certified panty dropper but he didn't have that playa vibe for it to be believable.

Joey did it again

right from the first song I knew he was back in his bag. What an effort. Wow.
