Joey Badass Gets Into Fight At Shoe Store with Designer DeeKnows

[jwinfield]

Those are some strong ass allegations.

When the Steeze shyt happened, there was talk that there was strife between the two, IIRC, that Joey's mom did some stuff with the Pro Era name essentially giving control to Joey.

While countless resources from Cinematic had gone toward promoting Joey as a star, Steez wasn’t getting the same attention, and AmeriKKKan Korruption wasn’t taking off. Cinematic had two professionally made videos produced for Joey’s tracks around the time that his mixtape, 1999, dropped, but, other than a rough, amateur video for AmeriKKKan Korruption cut “Vibe Ratings,” the crew didn’t release a Steez video (for “Free the Robots”) until September 2012, five months after its initial release. In a similar vein, “Survival Tactics” had initially been credited to Joey Bada$$ and Capital Steez—Steez had found the beat, and the song was his idea—but it had been rebranded as “Joey Bada$$ featuring Capital Steez” by the time the video made by Cinematic’s multimedia partner, Creative Control, was released.

Steez was painfully sensitive to the lack of recognition for the project. During the WNYU segment in April 2012, he talked about feeling like he was getting “slept-on,” and that Joey was soaking up all the attention. “I don’t get hit up for interviews as much as I would like to,” he said. “Forgive me—like Joey, he gets free clothes. I wish I got free clothes!”

In July, Joey and his mother officially inked a deal with Shipes, and soon after registered Pro Era as an LLC owned by her and Joey. On Cinematic’s Smokers Club tour that summer, a two-month jaunt through 30 cities with headliners Juicy J and Smoke DZA, the group was billed as “Joey Bada$$ and Pro Era.” Steez was becoming the second-in-command of Pro Era, a lieutenant in his own squad.

Yeah I peeped they boycotted which I thought was lame because they were doing the show to keep Steez's legacy going and were going to give the family the bread. It's not like they were doing the shows and keeping all the money for themselves but wanted to give the family something. If they wanted to do a celebration cheaper or free they could have done that on their own.

Sucks that with arguments about money we may never get the album.

I hope they can fix the shyt, sometimes brothers have to throw hands and then peace it up after.

With that said though, Dee made a statement he deleted where he basically accused Joey for being partly responsible for Steez's death though I think the brother Steez just had mental illness. He was spiritual but went too deep into it without any real guidance or mentor.

Joey was the star.

Steez was too young to realize that giving him the push was the right business move.

Man this ain’t cool. People applauding it bc a celeb ‘handled himself well’ ok but

1) After careful review that was him on the ground getting hands

2) You never know what somebody homeboy might consider a critical threat and back out. Word to king von
