Joey Bada$$ added some spice to the game this week when speaking to Montreality about JAY-Z’s 4:44 album.
In an interview he had said, “Honestly, I feel like I was an inspiration to that album. I know I was an inspiration to that album, and nobody can tell me… You know what I’m saying?”
“I put certain pressure on O.G.s in the game, and they know what they need to talk about now, ’cause they got this young nigga Joey Bada$$ coming out talking about this shit before they got the chance to talk about it.”
Joey made sure to clarify that he loved the album and that he was glad JAY took on the topics that he did… but he made sure to end his comments with “And I’m glad I could be inspirational.”
After some backlash, Joey hit Twitter account to clear up exactly what he meant, writing: “Y’all niggas acting like I said I single-handedly inspired the album, NO. BUT, I was def ONE of the inspirations. Listen to #AABA.”
“My real niggaz know. You kids are way too sleep and you old niggaz are way too disconnected. But ay, PEACE & LOVE.”
This kid is trying too hard to remain in headlines these days.
Joey Badass is so boring, this dude doesn’t know if he wants to make emo music and be like Joe Budden or be back pack rapper like charles hamilton, i don’t get his lane
“AAB” is a good album and now you’re out here ruining your brand with ignorance. Log off, Joey.
You’re definitely not, Joey – neither the single inspiration for the album nor one of them. You are delusional though.
DELUSIONAL. Joey is becoming the undergorund version of Kanye West
LOL like his album was remembered for more than half a day. His video lame. I wish this dude would go away. What makes this worse is he was considered some real hiphop before his true character came out. He’s just like them all, anything for attention, for someone who worked with Premo you would think he would be smart enough to know he has some fans in the older age and just stop it with these retarded claims he makes. Joey. If you’re reading this….. go fuhk yourself you POS
Joey shut your dumbass up….let US be the ones that say that, or Jay himself not you.
No Joey, KRS One and Rakim were the first to do it! be humble!
Honestly all u east coast vatos are fucking corny and lame, u foos all sound the same where’s Mr. Capone-E, Mr. Criminal, Brownside, Lady Pinks? fuck that lame ass roster foo wheres Hi-Power ENT? Without chicanos in the rap game half the style wouldnt exists, none of u foos would be wearing cortezs, long socks, driving lowriders with switches, wearing locs, and flannels… most of you lames would be wearing bell bottoms with high afros dancing to disco, fucking lames!!
dude sounds full of himself. acting like he inspired jayz lol..people been rapping about the same things jayz and badass rapped about since hiphop originated. lmao
Stop giving these clowns a platform i like dude but just like the rest of these clowns give em a little fame and this what happens
