All the accolades in the world mean nothing to Joey Bada$$ if he doesn’t get love in the city that made him.
On Tuesday (June 16), the Wu-Tang: An American Saga star shared a video to Instagram of a mural that artist Sidka painted of him in his hometown of Brooklyn. Noting the painting has been up for a few years now, Joey expressed his appreciation for being recognized at home and said it’s all that really matters.
“Fuck a Grammy fuck a VMA, fuck all that shit that the white man try to give you to validate your dopeness,” he wrote in the caption. “I got REAL LIFE Trophy’s in the hood I’m from, that’s the best roses you can get. Hometown love, and btw this is not new this has been here for ATLEAST 3 years and it blows my mind every time I see it… Name a rapper with a MURAL in his OWN CITY that’s STILL ALIVE… I’ll wait. This what I do this for… my community. y’all can keep the other shit I know I’m SUPER VALID.”
Joey also revealed he has new music on the way for his fans.
“Btw I’m shooting a video today so that gotta mean new music sooner than soon,” he wrote at the end of the post.
Joey Bada$$ Classifies MAGA As A 'Cult'
The ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$ rapper previously spoke about the music he’s working on in an interview with Complex last month. Though he didn’t reveal much, he did let fans know not to expect a long album.
“The thing with this project is everyone’s going to be satisfied, and not in a way where it’s too many things on the menu,” he said. “I’m definitely not that type. You come to my restaurant, motherfucker, it’s like 10 options. I hate when motherfuckers put out an album longer than 14 songs. Nobody wants to fucking listen to that.”

I think y’all already know, but this is why people think black people are stupid and conformist. Just look at the intense ignorance. Sometimes I think that this website shits on blacks at times and I’m all here for it lmao!
Stop lying…you’re thoroughly interested in us. Its called living vicariously, coward. That’s why you’re here.
Joey BA will NEVER be better than 2Pac
ok. nobody ever said that.
He did
Tupac never won a grammy either cause the white man didnt like him. Crackas used to buy tupac albums and stomp on them infront of record stores in the 90s. Crackas always hating on a real nigga
Imagine a country singer saying, “fuck all that shit the black man does to validate yadda yada yada.” Double standard here. That’s a racist comment
We don’t have to imagine lol. People say racist stuff on camera all the time .
But it’s not brushed off. It’s all over the news.
What awards do blacks give out that whites use for validation Bill?
Well deserved. Joey Bada$$ is a dope Artists.

Black people have such a wild inferiority complex while acting overly confident and morally superior. Must be a tough balance!
Carmel, its about as tough as you simultaneously balancing being in denial about the fact that genocide and slavery were the primary methods used to steal and develop this place (I think y’all call it “white blessings, right?!?”). Then they brainwashed you.
Sorry, you didn’t build anything- and neither did your ancestors. Black slaves did nothing more than menial labor. You, your parents, and your grandparents didn’t suffer through slavery. Nearly every race and ethnicity on the planet has enslaved and been a slave. Get over it.
Lots of censorship on this site. Also, lots of hateful language toward a single race. If you don’t like it in the US, you’re free to leave. You didn’t build shit.
Did you build shit Bill? Talking with your own hands, not your father’s father’s father’s. If not……………..shud up (DC Fly voice).
Shut da fuck twerp! Why can’t you just appreciate something without race baiting?
There’s no inferiority complex for that who said it. He’s shedding light how these platforms are created to take away. They create categories and tell you this is the best and the ones creating these platforms no nothing about the culture, only to take and it amazes me the obsession of these white boys coming to this site to feel better about themselves and yet you speak of a inferiority complex ..obviously there’s something deep inside you that makes you feel better when a black man is being torn down. “For the commentator that said I’m here for it” you show your hate on a website that caters to black people..I bet you eat fried chicken on the low and rock Js..all while talking shit and conforming to black culture ..idiots.
No, White people are just tired of catering to your shit culture. Stop committing crime, stop resisting arrest, stop leaving your children fatherless, and then we’ll be good. No amount of police reform or handouts can fix your lack of character or personal responsibility.
Bra get out of your house, turn off your computer and stop checking social media. Go have a conversation with white people. You need to rewire your brain. All this hate you hold is what’s keeping you down, not a white, black, or green person – let’s go!
This guy is so stupid, usually rappers are smarter and take the medias agenda with a grain of salt but joey damn. You are a puppet falling for the divide of the people. SMH
Big Facts. Legendary Black Music Artists like Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Snoop Dogg, A Tribe Called Quest, Diana Ross, Bob Marley, Nas, Jimi Hendrixx and many more have never won a grammy cause THE WHITE MAN DIDNT LIKE THEM.
Shut da hell up you lil punk! You hit rock bottom the day you talked SHT about 2Pac. No one cares about your corny azz
Much respect to Joey B & ProEra for keeping the essence of HipHop alive.
They need one for Tekashi too!!!
I’m just glad he didn’t lose his vision when he stared at the eclipse that one day.
