Joey Bada$$ recently sat down with Black Moon’s Buckshot to discuss the parallels of their careers and the significance of Brooklyn.
“Brooklyn is the land of business,” Buckshot said in an interview with fellow Brooklynite Joey Bada$$ for MTV. “B.K. Business Kings. You understand that? That’s why Joey is a Business King. That’s why I’m a Business King. That’s why Jay Z is a Business King. Brooklyn [makes] Business Kings because we’re hustlers.”
After discussing their Brooklyn connection, Buckshot also praised Joey Bada$$ for his work.
“Officially, from my heart to yours, when it comes to right now, you are that nigga,” Buckshot said.
Buckshot also went on to discuss Kendrick Lamar’s much-discussed “Control” verse and Hip Hop’s “Golden Age.”
“Y’all are the new Golden Age,” Buckshot said. “Thanks to y’all, the age has survived. Thanks to y’all. There was a point when people were saying Hip Hop ain’t the same. Hip Hop is dead. Hip Hop is this. Hip Hop is that. Now? All respect due to Kendrick Lamar, King of the West Coast, King of New York, whatever is the stuff that’s going on right now. I love the competition, but Kendrick Lamar go against the Beast Coast? Whoo. I’m just an OG here, loving the fact that I retired that level of it and now you have to deal with a brother like Joey, which is a .45 magnum with a knife at the tip and a shotgun at the end.”

In March 2012, Joey Bada$$ addressed his feelings about a Golden Age.
“I want to bring the Golden Age back,” Joey Bada$$ said. “I want to bring back real music.”
2 of my favorite emcees damn gotta go pull out enta da stage
Dope,dope,dope lil interview.
You can’t start a new Golden Age by simply imitating the last one. Where’s the originality?
Co-sign!!
in the content stupid. are you complaining about format?
wow great comment. The golden age is defined as an era where there was lots of high quality releases AND innovation/originality in hip hop. To say that this is now a second golden age is an insult to the first and only hip hop golden age.
whoever laughed at buckshot in the end of the video is a clown..
buck clowned kid on that first question tho.. ahaha
badass is so overrated
Brooklyn definitely keep on taking it, its time for real rap to make its return.

BIG GUWOP GUCCI IS THE REALEST NIGGA THESE LIGHT SKINNED NIGGAS AINT REAL NIGGAS
all you fuck faces complain about rappers being fake and phony. when you finally get a real rapper who doesnt rap about fantasies you still complain. You little internet nerds never husttled u never lived that street life. You dont know shit about the streets. All you fuckboys know is how to go on the internet and act like a bunch of nerd groupies. Show sum respect for a real nigga like GUCCI.

golden age my ass! this is the worst decade for music since the eighties
some of the best rap ever is being made but kno one finding it
There are very few artists who are still hip hop. these days every ones singing and whining over a shit beat with fast ass hi hats and the same old 808.
think of it like this
80’s was simple rhyemes like head dead bed red
90’s got more complex
2000’s was dope but alot of whack shit
2010’s feels like dumb rap dieing out and it all about bars now , rap could be making the next step in lyricism
by 2015 well see where this new era goes..
with people like apollo brown and confidence, holding it down im happy
joey baddass dope to
real hip hop will allways be around its just underground
we need real fans not listeners
yo i can feel it coming
rap gona be better than ever soon
step the bars up
hardknock ft cj fly / Righteous minds/
real hip hop gives off a certain feeling ,, the essence
i can tell if it whack or dope immediately, most of the time
gain some experience and learn how they the rap
dem franchize boyz used to be my favorite now i dont even have a favorite rapper i just listen to dope lyricists that make authentic hip hop
went from dem franchize boys and daddy yankee to hi-tek
i was gona right some big paragraph but fuck that
bring real rap to forefront and STOP listening to the bullshit
i thnk soundbombing 2 tought me hip hop
Respect to Joey Bada$$, but I just can’t get into his music. & I grew up with 90’s Hip Hop including Black Moon, but that era is long over. I personally don’t wanna relive it, nor hear new music that sounds like it’s 20 years old.
much respect for buckshot duck down much respect
