Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
“Won’t sign to no major if no wager, less than a $3 million offer off the top.”
Joey takes one small step for New York and one giant leap for planet Brooklyn on this new cut debuted and produced by DJ Premier. According to AO, the track will be officially released on Monday.
UPDATE: Final version.

dj premier always comes correct..
One of the most promising MCs hip-hop heard in a long time. Why would he sign to a major? If you sign to a major in 2013 you took a L.
I’m not anti-major. I think they can put you in places that you cant as an indie.
B Dot I hear what your saying, def a bigger machine behind your brand. But at what cost though, once you do get to a major they tend to water down your sound. I feel like once the artist stops going to these majors us as fans will have more say in what gets played instead of these machined dictating to us what’s hot through radio and other forms of media
*machines
it’s so good to hear a Preem beat these days…
Ehh. This guy is dope but i don’t like his beats
The Hip-Hop Fiend person clearly doesnt know what hes talking about.
The song is ok
very dope!
i like this song, he still growing, not bad though
Easily Has the potential to be one of the greatest ever… Earl Sweatshirt and Joey Bada$$ got next. Real Hip Hop shit
Shit was weak
@ Slim Baller
because you have shitty taste. nigga
unbelievable artist, his 1999 tape was one of the best of 2012, he and his pro era crew have huge futures ahead of them!
^^^^^ EXACTLY WHAT B.A.G SAID, huge potential
Dope
Joey got mad skills, hope he keeps it real and stays with his own sound, would love him to sign to the ROC, Just imagine him, cole, jay elect and hov (ooooooh SHIIIIIIIITTT)
Joey has bars… This isn’t “weak” by any means. He still has a long way to go
haven’t stopped listening to his pro era tape, that joint with steez ‘like water’ is incredible. hope he moves on to bigger and better things this year, he sure has a fan in me
loved this
@Siy Ight nigga let a artist like Joey BadA$$ sign to a major and watch his album sit on the shelf or not get the proper promotion. Mac Miller wouldnt have sold any more albums if he was on a major. Its very rare for a new artist to get a good deal and not get raped.
Did u just say Hov ,jay elect,jcole n joe nah Rocnation ain’t having too much non selling artist on their roster! Have u heard of rihanna?,rita ora?
I think if Hov gonna push another artist it has to be commercially viable which Joey ain’t sorry, he’s from Brooklyn n can rhyme but that’s all! but Hov is unpredictable who knows he signed jay elect n still yet to hear a record you know why? He’s not commercially viable and that’s really all that counts into days music biz,wonder why Lil b is still signed to worldstarhiphop records?exactly!
when i found this guys music last year it took me a minute to appreciate his potential, but now i see huge things for this kid, mad mic skills for a 17 yo
He ain’t even 17 ! Don’t believe the hype ! I went to school with Joey ! Sheep so easily fooled smdh!
@Sickzy i hear you bro, its undeniable how much talent the kid has, but i guess your right, his sound is far from commercial in todays industry, but a co sign from somebody like Hov can only do him a favor.
I agree @Ryan. I think the Nas comparisons are ridiculous, but he has potential with the right people in his corner. ie: Premier
“JUST GOT BACK TO THE BLOCK FROM A 6 0 CLOCK WITH JIGGA AND IM THINKING ABOUT SIGNING TO THE ROC BUT MY NIGGAS ON THE BLOCK, STILL ASSIGNED TO THESE ROCKS…” GET EM JOEY- ASAP ROCKY 1TRAIN
WHOAAAAAAAAAAA STRAIGHT FIREE
Hes nice, but needs to work on his flow
Nobody on this post knows what they’re talking about. Joey BadA$$ is dope af. If Hov signs him, he will drop an album and it will be just as commercially viable as GKMC. The difference between Joey , And Jay Electronica and J. Cole….is that Joey has already built his own network. His youth, He’s looks cool, and He has artists and producers and media machines in his corner that J. Cole did not have before his deal and Jay Electronica still doesnt have enough. Plus Roc Nation does a whole bunch of artist momentum and development. Part of the reason J. Cole got that 500,000 is because they threw that nigga on tour with Drake and Rihanna. Rita Ora, the threw her on tour with Coldplay and Frank Ocean. It’s simple. Jay can make Joey BadA$$ his flagship rapper cuz J. Cole isnt cool and Jay Elect is too old. Plain and simple. And major labels are never going away because they have the money, if you offer a nigga $3mil, top notch producers, media apperances, best features,mass distribution etc…..that’s a lot more appealing than 50,000, the best up and coming niggas with little exposure for features, a few blog posts, itunes, and a few no name producers.
AND HE PROBABLY IS ALREADY SIGNED WITH JAY, they just might be waiting to announce it until he’s getting ready to drop a new project.

Big L BACK !
Joey Bada$$ can be compared to Big L, Nas, and JayZ with his wordplay, and it doesn’t hurt that in 2013, he’s got that 90′s hip hop feel.
Not sure how the whole crew sounds, but the world will find out soon enough.
I’m not making this guy out to be the next messiah, but he could be, with the right choices.
I just love the boom bap sound, that he’s bringing now.
#PROERA2013
@Faz You are right, BIG L is back.
Joey Bada$$’es situation reminds me of how Big L was getting offers from labels.
His unfortunate passing, came at the wrong time in his life. RIP BIG L
this kids definitely got it. i also agree that he should be signed to Rocnation. Jay has the most diverse label in the game.
Now ya’ll comparing to BIg L?! *throws hands in air* stoooop
theres somthing missing
hes not finishing his flow
…….average bars
i think they made this to annoy the real heads
step ur bars up
the slurs were cool
this was close
thought the scratches wrecked it
INCONSISTANT BARS
J cole was just as promising and his mixtapes where great. With his major label debut he was doing his best Paula Abdul impression.
LONE NINJA
FUCK MAINSTREAM RAP
THERE HOLDNG BACK
He ain’t Big L…L had punchlines that would make u stop and rewind the track
haha, i’m tempted to compare him to Jay Z so B.Dot completely loses it.
the kid is crazy nice, naturally nicer than most, he has that IT factor as a lyricist.
skooda chose> any new artist out
this shit is jiggy
Name 1 hot line in this joint that makes dudes consider him a quote un-quote lyricist bc I didn’t hear it. Who has the nerve to compare this kid to Big L and Hov? You gotta be shittin me. Hip Hop dead as fuck if this is lyricism. I mean technically he was rhyming his words but you can’t tell me he was spittin crack right here. And that beat hot as fuck how could you not kill it?
I be trying so hard to like some of the new rappers coming out these but this shit don’t move me at all.
its ok
