Joey is that dude.....I really dig how he's doing his thing
2715441, he goes to Edward Murrow H.S.?

he mad smart then
2715458, I don't really think "he gets it"
Posted by mrshow, Sun Jul-01-12 04:34 PM
My main issue with him is a surprising lack of personality. This kid sounds like he's trying to impress the 30+ crowd as opposed to being his own dude. The talent is there though so I'll definitely check out whatever he drops next.
2715460, I disagree
Posted by Swol_Belly, Sun Jul-01-12 04:43 PM
He just doing whats comfortable for him. Who is he suppose to impress?
2715468, To each his own but...
Posted by mrshow, Sun Jul-01-12 05:02 PM
his whole thing kinda comes across to me as Odd Future counter-programming. There's been some nice NY releases lately (Blue Chips, Respect The Fly Shit, Queens...Revisited) that manage to adhere to a traditional NY sound but are way more entertaining.
2715506, RE: I disagree
Posted by Thanes1975, Sun Jul-01-12 07:21 PM
Yeah, I just think he is doing the type of Hip Hop that he likes. Has nothing to do with Odd Future. His vibe and kids around him have the same vibe. He is not trying to impress us, we dont buy music. White kids by music. He is not making songs like Mac Miller to get white kids money. He is just making Hip Hop that he likes. I like it b/c he is a normal kid and not trying to over do it with all personality and no skills...but oh well..
2715518, Completely agree
Posted by Swol_Belly, Sun Jul-01-12 08:16 PM
He's in that comfort zone that a lot of artist wish they could be.
2715649, yeah...

where are the blips and futuristic beats? The shock rap? The devil worship? LOL...

Is rapping over dusty beats... and if rapping over boom bap makes a guy come off as reaching or trying to hard it really shows how fucked up rap is right now.

2715844, he's impressing the old heads and the kids
Posted by Heinz, Mon Jul-02-12 04:51 PM
who love 90's music.

reality is tho he's not getting the young youn kids..its mostly hipsters/oldheads

Posted by Swol_Belly, Mon Jul-02-12 09:03 PM
What do you mean by youn young kids? 5-10 years old?
2715776, You sounding kinda old right now playa lol.
Posted by SP1200, Mon Jul-02-12 02:44 PM
If you talk to a lot of kids 17-21 right now who consider themselves "music heads" you'd know that they damn near worship the musical period of the 90's. It's what they like. Kinda like when cats born in the 70's went back and listened to 70's music in the 90's and were like WOW. Same thing is happening right now. The 20 year cycle is upon us. You're gonna see A LOT more of this in the next few years.
2715791, There are already a ton of artists who hearken back to the 90s
Posted by mrshow, Mon Jul-02-12 03:27 PM
and have their own unique voices. Joey doesn't have that yet.
2715795, I feel like he does.
Posted by SP1200, Mon Jul-02-12 03:35 PM
Most everyone says he has growing to do sure, but he has his own voice imo.
2715882, ^^^

i fux wit him. and pretty damn good for a high school kid. i'd say he's got a long career ahead of him. i just hope he doesn't get corrupted by the powers that be and keeps on making good music.
2715977, this is one of the 3 stand outs from a very mediocre LP
Posted by astralblak, Mon Jul-02-12 10:41 PM
video and song are dope.
2716115, My filmmaker dream is to make a film
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Jul-03-12 10:28 AM
that captures the vibe of that video of being a young kid like these kids in NYC in the new millennium.
