@@SFCityKidspeople need to stop saying Pac vs Biggie was a good beef. Pac destroyed them then he died, and Biggie acted like he had no issue but dissed him after death. It was never a good rap beef.
Remember when I listened to this song I was working at Safeway as a night stocker getting treated like shit for $250 a week music is the only thing that helped me get through it now my career is launched I drive a nice car just thought I’d come back hear to listen to this masterpiece and remember where I came from hope the same for anyone else going through it don’t give up rip capital steez
bro i could have sworn i remember those days and I always try to remember where I came from but hearing this song again gave me chills that fire i had before all this started fuck man stocking them shelves carrying all that pain. that line at the end, i love the competition...........and now you gottta deal with a brotha like joey.......
@@kobimansaray this the only response that challenged kendrick lyrically. Rest were weak. In this case, Joey wanted to prove he has strong lyrical bars that can contest the likes of Kendrick.
2023: We will never experience this era of true lyrcism again. Dont be sad because its over, be happy it happened and we got to experience it its time. Still hits the EXACT same as ever. Absolutely timeless piece right here
he didn't diss kendrick or take shots at him he just did what a true lyricist should and showed that kendrick can't raise the bar higher than joey by using metaphors that went over many people's head joey and kendrick are both lyrical geniuses kendrick was just really straight forward but the better lyricist is Joey
Finally some sait it!!!!Joey hold Ny down from 12 to 15 like said. Guy reminds me a lil of big l with less punch lines and more lyricism. U kno hip hop bro 🤙
@@Quake2815 this aged like fine wine lmao. 1999 and summer knights are classic albums, NO skips whatsoever. Everything after Joey just fell off.. sad because he was easily my favorite rapper. & before you mention the 2000 album there’s a couple skips.. no where near his two first tapes.
This song was my introduction to Joey Bada$$. I remember looking up "CONTROL" responses back in 2013 and I ran across this song. As soon as I heard the first verse drop, I was immediately sold.
Dragun Fist Gamer yeah he can because Joey made it sound aggressive when it’s not he just used that flow and made it hard asf STEEZ would body this with the pauses and everything enough for the wordplay
I'm still here RIP CAPITAL FUCKING STEEZ LOVE YOU STEEZY 2022 WHAT UP JOEY I STILL GOT YOUR B4DA$$ IF IT WASNT FOR PRO ERA IF IT WASNT FOR CAPITAL STEEZ I DONT THINK ID STILL BE ALIVE IVE BEEN LIVING THE HARD KNOCK SINCE I WAS 14 I THOUGHT ABOUT IT PLENTY OF TIMES I THINK I'd be in a better place ....thank you guys for keeping me alive rns .....
Mean Lean Kendrick technically called out everybody, plus, Kendrick only responds when he knows he can wash the rapper, he doesn't wanna risk getting torched
"if you don't fuck with cinematic stand still my life's a movie on the reel you can she Shot with you hands on the will with you pants at your heels" Bars!
Earls lyrics are above Joeys. His lyrical prowess is seriously insane. Kendrick is better than ANYONE east. not dick riding but being honest. Them 2 can handle shit😂 I'm not gonna even name others I could name
+Jt23 as a MC Joey Orr Kendrick and you forgot NY has ASAP Flatbush zombie who will tell you straight up how they feel about you lol and The underachievers !? Also you know Jay is "retired" but he always hops on features sooo hard call
Always that it was sick that Joey used the Buckshot line “I’m getting the ugh I’m getting a ugh from the weak shit, that I hear no lyrical style come near” from Slave by black moon
The most overlooked song of the decade. Who's still here 2021?
Yan L-C me fasho
Always coming back to listen
Havent been here in a good year but i think this is a lyrical masterpiece and one of the best songs of all time.
Macky faxx bro speak dat shit 💯
Yo
THIS is how you respond to Kendrick Lamar
This all Cole had to do bruh😂 but he’s not that guy…Joey was 18
Brooo yes nobody even knows about this song being a diss to Kendrick’s control verse lol even meek mill with “oooh kill em” was a Kendrick diss
The real ones know@@pacsoulpavon9649
Ahh good times, Hope these two can do a new feature. One train is an oldie but goodie but we need something newer.
@@comradessan1041lowkey facts I fw Cole still but he was lowkey acting like a hoe ngl
this era of Joey Bada$$ >
Who’s here after the beef going on right now I still believe Joey had one of the best response to Kendrick control
I still believe he way up to par, Kendrick in a swimming pool of champagne ❤
2024 and this is an absolute classic. Joey was legitimately our generations Nas. 1999 was our generations Illmatic. He fit the full description of a rap PROPHET.
Yet NYC didn't support him at all!!

If Joey was 18 and Kendrick beefed him, it would probably be a fierce battle, nowadays tho Joey don’t rap like this at all
Nah fr tho that beef would be the modern day Pac vs Biggie. Both coasts would be all dialed in on that.
Lowkey this what joey need 😂 he still a demon with the pen
Pro era joey was a nasty mf when It comes to rhymes
@@SFCityKidspeople need to stop saying Pac vs Biggie was a good beef. Pac destroyed them then he died, and Biggie acted like he had no issue but dissed him after death. It was never a good rap beef.
Cuz he already proved he can and he knows to go bigger and more commercial he can't bar out all the time like that
"I'm the real king fella here, you more like, Prince of Bel-Air, I'm clearin' the air, might fire at will." That was nice af

This whole song is great
Holy shit I just got it

Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp a Butterfly" - 100%
Joey Bada$$'s "B4.Da.$$" - 100%
I OWN BOTH ALBUMS PHYSICALLY
Nah man TPAB is more like a 1000%, its gonna be awhile before hip hop gets to that level. No disrespect to Joey tho I look up to him
Summer knights is my shit
Na B4DA$$ a strong 8

oh i thought that was a reference to pro era bc that's his set right?
"You set yourself for that one mane, the King of New York? Ha, we ain't just gon' let that one hang" best response to that Control verse by far.
Crazy how Joey was a better lyricist in his teens then he is in his 20s
Sometimes the passion just isn't the same he wanted that spot and he made it but he's not really that underdog anymore so the hunger kind of fades
This didn't age well.

My favorite and most surprising response to Kendrick. 🔥🔥🔥
We drownin atlantis, cant over flow BeastCoast,
be more Pacific nedt time you shoutin out amigo"🔥
Iconic. One of my favourite emcees of all time...and that includes the emcees from the 90's too.
this was fire! but I don't think people should take sides. Both Kendrick and Joey are greats. They wouldn't really diss each other.
That don't mean shit Pac dissed Biggie
Nas dissed Jay Z
Doesn't mean Kendrick or joey will diss each other.
Boy stfu, Joey let em know who he is🗣
@@JuanHernandez-ho7gd This comment was 5 years ago lmaoo
Joey is a monster when it come to lyricism
Ok
Only mf to never back down from Kendrick. Y’all don’t want him in the new beef
Maaan say 💯💯
this track is addicting to listen to, the emotions if jeoys voice counterpointed with a multi sample beat
This harder than the actual diss track, thanks Kendrick for taking this outta Joey. Healthy Competition ❕
this is my shit 🔥
imagine king Steez on this..
I liked it as a single.I get steez was fire and no disrespect
IDK if Steez could smash a style like this?
Dragun Fist Gamer yeah he can because Joey made it sound aggressive when it’s not he just used that flow and made it hard asf STEEZ would body this with the pauses and everything enough for the wordplay
You can feel the anger in Joey 🔥🔥
Ayy I love Kendrick but Joey fuckin BLASTED him here, spit some mad hot shit
fr bro
sorry im not northamerican, what did he say about k.dot?
Saddam Husseim he said FUCK OFF
Jay Steez so...
Saddam Husseim idiot
joey so nice. heard this song years ago and had to revisit. who listening in 2024?
This came out as a control response along with sooo many other response tracks . Kendrick stirred the pot
Kendrick don’t want smoke w young Joey fr
Joey my NIGGA but nahh. Kendrick is diabolical
Hardest control response 💯‼️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥💀🔥🔥🔥 he went in crazy👑
The only response that matched dots energy
2023 and still one of my favorite joey song’s
The beat takes me there everytime it drop! Under rated song for sure🔥
"Swank make hands fold like a rare disease. 'How thou art write this?/arthritis" bruh 😭💣💣💣
Sonofva bitch 😐😮🔥🔥🔥🔥
He really went GOD MODE on this shit
Kendrick and Joey going back and forth like this is what the world needs right now
Why doesn't this have more views? One of my fav songs ,wordplay is too dope!
We never getting this Joey back, 2023 he don’t have this hunger no more
The hunger is gone from all those guys now. What a time it was though
The king of New York ?! HA we ain't jus gone let that one hang! 🤚
Don’t let them forget
Joey always had music that makes you feel the vibe real heavy, rap god 💯
he was so full of potential
And this is why Joey is my favorite artist
Bro I still go back every now and again to hear this. HARDEST RAP SONG OF ALL TIME
One of the hardest song of the decade

These bars were so fire and still are sheesh had to come back in 2022
Drake needs some of joeys penmanship!!

Joey and KRIT had the best responses no question
"if you don't fuck with cinematic stand still my life's a movie on the reel you can she Shot with you hands on the will with you pants at your heels" Bars!
I love the intro to this song the beat hits right with me
This is talent at its finest been a Joey fan since 2011
They should make an east vs west rap disses contest, east would tear up

This was the best response to kendrick, nd lowkey kendrick never responded
Didn’t need to. No one was direct but it was definitely a spark that had niggas wanting to rap. Kendrick brought niggas back outside at this time
This my favorite Joey song
When that beat dropped the muscles in my face did that stank face on they own
The roots go beyond.
One of the Badmons hardest
This or Krit with my olympus was the best response to control
Dont forget This is to Kendrick when he say he is the King of new york

that drop gimme chills😢

Still playing this goat
Always that it was sick that Joey used the Buckshot line “I’m getting the ugh I’m getting a ugh from the weak shit, that I hear no lyrical style come near” from Slave by black moon

No apologies!?
when i say i love hip hop this is one of the many reasons why the poetry is beautiful over this beat nujabes vibes heavy on this one.
