It's crazy, last year when I found out about Pro Era, I just couldn't believe my ears, because I hadn't heard MC's that good since the rappers of the 90's and 80's.(Born in 93 myself). The beats you guys rap over are class too. Illmatic will always be my favourite album, but I have to say Joeys 1999 reminded me of it so much, with the golden age beats and great lyrics over them. Props to Pro Era from a skinny white Irish lad.
I couldn’t stop smiling while listening to this. It’s good that some newer rappers (I know that he isn’t new anymore) like Joey still do real Hip Hop. He is my favorite amongst the newer ones. Mad respect for him.
Chuck Strangers fucking kills it. love his verse so much. "I know how to write these songs I know how to light these bongs I know how to rip thongs and I'm pretty good at beer pong" I get that rhyme stuck in my head a lot
@@dulogmazits a good job you asked - that makes you special! Medal for 'swimming upstream' (or some other cliche nonconformist cringe) is in the mail, 7-10 working days...
one of the best song in 1999, after Hardknocks, Survival Tactics, Waves, PennyRoyal,Righteous Minds, Funky Hoes, Killuminati, Suspects, Where it's At, Snakes, daily routine... THE WHOLE FUCKING EP IS STILL FIRE. And the mindfuck is that he wrote that shit when he was 17.. Him and King Steelo were just God Gifted man... Legends already. #RIPSTEELO
some of the songs on his mixtape were written way back before he even turned 17. Maybe age 16 also. survival tactics came out in July of 2011 on the Pro Era youtube page
He is way too lyrical for people to like him that's why he isn't as famous as other rappers. People don't understand him. The whole pro era crew is too lyrical. Specially for Steez, he was the smartest of Em all
I don't get why everyone is asking him to change his sound, like he's stuck in the past. This just sounds like real rap to me.... With all that shit talk he will end up rapping on trap beats lol that would be sad 2020 EDIT : I was kind of stupid and close-minded when i wrote this. 90s boom bap is great, trap is great, new sounds are necessary to keep a movement alive. Peace everyone stay safe
In the days of disgusting swag and trap movements these young cats brought real hip-hop back! it's like I'm watchin 96' hip-hop video. Instant classic! Respect for Joey & his crew!
Yea, I peeped him a few times throughout this video. Not gonna front, I'm watching all the old Prodie's videos just to play "Wheres STEEZ?" May his soul be at peace wherever it dwells.
He was probably just daydreaming lol, he was a thinker and thinkers tend to do that. In videos with the Pros, he never really gets hype as they do, hes just kinda to himself unless hes on the mic from what I observe at least.
HOLY FUCK. this sounds so much better than 2 years ago, shows how much aging maturity will affect your listening experience and understanding in music.
Chill Devastated is just his single, he's not only going to make songs like that but he wants his name to become more known to others so listeners will explore more of his music and find songs like 'Christ Consious', 'Survival Tactics', etc. and that's where single's are for (it's in most cases the catchiest song a new album, but doesn't necessarily have to be)
+King James Yeah, devastated wasn't that good. I don't know anything about his new album but I've heard devastated and that might take his album down hill a little.
I like what these dudes are trying to accomplish, they still very young and still learning the ropes of MCin, but their getting there, mad props for what their striving to do with hip hop! Put the game back on it's feet, still gonna be hard to compete with the intelligence, cleverness, and vocab from cats in the golden era of hip hop aka the 90s
Graffiti, subway trains, basketball courts, 90's style beats, camera on the ground shots, b-boying, real lyrics, wait a minute what years is this??? This is true hip hop!!!
Criminally underrated song.
Word!
wow joey probably read it and put it on the "rubberband" song
For real
top 5? nah more like the fuckin greatest
Underrated? this song was the bomb back in 2014!!!
coming back to this realizing Chuck BODIED this
on god

Think Joey's 2nd verse is wayyy better but yeah Chuck's verse is def great
Nah boy lol

Bobby Diaz can you explain? I dont get it lol english isn‘t my mother language. what is sherads?
BADMON it’s spelled “charades” and it’s a game where the one player acts like they are something else and the other player guesses what they are

you mean 1919? hehehe
1919 gtfo rap wasn't even alive it was just plain poetry back then.

That was a great time
Ressurecting boom bap from the tombs.... so dope
