I like both, but I just find it funny how regardless of the rapper, you'll get called a gimmick.

I've already heard the industry plant label put on him.

Hahah word, the thread on sohh had someone saying, "wow he's been on all the blogs, someones got a lot of money on this kid to blow."


some people are fukking dumb

Whether he does or not, as long as he makes dope music, I'll keep checking for him.

kid is dope, he's not gonna blow up but I'll support him regardless.

and the main thing I like about him is that he can spit, not because he's doing a throwback sound. if he was wack and rhyming over mid-90s style production I wouldn't be a fan

Nice rapper.

But he is not what NY needs right now. Homie is destined to do Big Krit numbers

I have a feeling an album won't live up the expectations. He seems kind of nerdy and some of his rhymes are trying too hard... I hope i'm wrong.

I can see him doing better than Saigon cuz Sai is a conscious rapper. Most people don't wanna hear that shyt. Joey just raps about whatever. He can make a hit, Sai is not a hit maker.

How could he be a gimmick if he's bringing that old 90s New York Hip-Hop sound that everyone has strayed away from and forgotten. If anything, he took a bold risk by doing that. I look forward to more of his material.

I really thought Joey Badass dude was a bootleg machine gun kelly white boy rapper, this is the first time ive seen a video or heard a song by dude. Gimmick or not, he bringing that real hip hop sound and feel back. it's a beautiful thing to witness :to:

I wouldn't count him out just yet, radio play isn't really as important as it used to be shyt mad nikkas in my age group (I'm 17) know about Kendrick Llamar, get him behind some good production like the Survival Tactics track and he could gain some followers, off the strength of tracks posted in here, I'm already a fan.
