We still pretending Joey Bada$$ latest wasn't a better pro black/political album than Kendricks TPAB

[Piffery]

Because Joey is corny and his music sounded self-important/shallow.

 

[Payso Dinero]

That album was basura and I'm a joey fan

Sounded like a bunch of forced hotep tracks for a corny after school special on BET

 

[Menelik II]

i like Joey but the album was trash b.

Its almost 'file paper' status

 

[Monsanto]

Don't forget the cultural impact of alright. Tpab has done more for the culture than any album this decade.

 

[AldavisAlbundyAllah!]

Tpab wasn't political album ...



Do you guys even listen to the music.

 

[CapitalforCapital]

Main reason Joey Ab and a lotta other nikkas aren't poppin like that is because they aren't supposed to.

Joey provides the nostalgia soundtrack for those who weren't there to actually experience the nostalgia.

And Ab provides the soundtrack for nikkas who enjoy YouTube conspiracies and know that something sinister is going on but can't explain what.

It always amazes me how bad these 2000s throwback to the 90s records are.
Title reminded me of a track I hadn't heard in a long time:





But in answer to your question - Kendrick stans don't care about hip hop, depth or anything like that. In fact, this entire generation doesn't. Which is why a rapper can drop a political album and no one gives a fukk, while another rambles some dumb shyt about Looshy and the Interscope think pieces will have everyone thinking he's political.

facts. they appeal to the fringes.

 

[JahFocus CS]

Disgusted by the Joey hate and underrating going on in here.

Their labels probably nit tripping they do well despite little to no budget. Plus more longevity though they kinda mess it up by trying to be like more poppin artists.

I'd love to troll Kendrick stans but I can't even lie about this one. Joey scratched the surface and that's it. nikka spent half the album making the same song.

 

[BK The Great]

Still on regular rotation since it dropped, TPAB is also dope
