Not gonna happen. Joey released his 1st album in 2012 and he still hasn’t reached that level. We knew Nas and Jay were special after their 1st albums. Joey’s not even mentioned with Kendrick, Cole, and Drake.

Why people like to forget about Cole’s Warm Up and Friday Night Lights Mixtapes.Damn even the Come Up was solid asf. One good and two classic mixtapes out the gate

@@TheBulletzgottishow20he needs to clock in with some great producers and make some quality albums. Notsaying hell be nas but has potential to be a great. He needs some classic songs or albums to even be top 20 ny
@arawakwarrior Yeah like Joey can't really be on Nas or Jay's level at this point it doesn't really matter what he comes out with. He would need to make it big in films like Ice Cube or Ludacris or Pac to come close to that level. He wont be able to do it with just music unless he just changes his whole style and even then like I dont care if he comes out with the best album ever I think it would be hot for a quick second then ignored for the next big thing pretty quickly. Similar to a guy like Lupe Fiasco like the dude is nasty but just cant really be on that level at this point. Joey would need to make himself into an "Icon" and it just isnt happening I dont think even if he were shot and killed or something like that. I honestly dont think being killed makes you a better rapper suddenly or anything like I'll be honest I think both Nipsey and Pop smoke would have fell off by now even if they didnt get murdered and kept making tracks.
I honestly haven't listened to Jody badass in years, I was very impressed by his acting skills on BMF. He falls into the "He still make music" category for me now.
Nah real talk when he dropped that mixtape at the time the buzz was he was the next Nas cuz of his age and content and effortless rhymes BUT that def faded away after cap died and pro era started breaking up and he started going commercial. But the was a time the culture and media were comparing him to nas
You both are dumb as hell because literally nas himself pretty much given Joey his ‘endorsement’ you could say because he is on one of the 2000 tracks bossing up Joey and introducing him
I like Joey and it’s good that he’s confident in himself but he’s nowhere near the top elite rappers. If we’re being honest his career has been a bit disappointing, we expected so much from him. He was a wonder kid who so far hasn’t lived up to the expectations
Fine if everyone doesn’t think Joey is equal to nas but nas himself gave Joey his co sign because he’s on 2000 bossing up Joey and introducing him. Did everyone forget that?
Exactly nas is still better than Joey but he’s like his successor in a sense. Old-heads have a problem with nostalgia and can’t let new legends come in.
Joey would be one of them if it was 1993. The problem is if you make Illmatic rn, Illmatic was *30 years ago.* & even if you managed to do that it's not going to change the game because it already did when it happened the first time. You would have to be Nas 2.0 which means Rakim 3.0. You have to advance the game as much from them as they did from their predecessors, but at a certain point if you get more & more lyrical it will become non-musical (we've seen that). if you keep pushing flows forever, eventually it's just singing (we've seen that). the only way I can see to advance the game is to be as original in style as you can without being so far away from the original that it ceases to be the same thing, & then take it as far as you can with the actual content of what you're saying, because if what you say is relevant & important than it doesn't matter if it was said before.
The fact that he is not in a rush to the top means he'll get there. The acting things gives him time and he will only put out music that will push him to the top.
Joey got a fair ass point about him and nas on the same level. If we counting mixtapes Joey got a Classic. How many classics nas got in his discography? He still young af too so he could eventually drop another classic project.

Joey quality of music is up there. But not those two. Hes not even Denzel curry in my honest opinion.

Than we factor guys like Saba.. JID.. Smino.. Westside boogie.. who provide better more relatable or just more energetic music i can follow more. Nothing wrong with Joey style i think he should stick to what resonates with him as a artist. But to say he doesn something ground breakingly or just stylistically different on each project? He doesnt. Which is fine. I prefer him over drake ON EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. But he has to be aware of the competition hes up against who just have been delivering better as of right now. Hes ina Good space but not nas and jay tho.
I always tell people Joey got the most amount of bars about how great he is but just hasn't really shown tha side of him. He was always more gimmicky and never had the it factor where his albums and music in general isn't appealing
Am going to say it. If Capital Steez had been alive ProEra would have had a similar reputation to Asap mob and better. Joey literally carried them although they were great the others did not get attention
