Idk why it took soo long for this man to get his recongintion. He is everything that great hip hop was. He would wreck every single of today's top "hip hop" artists.. if thats what you wanna call them. The man's flow, bars and word play is nothing but elite
this is around 2 years old. He is the best MC I have heard in a minute, and I stay prayin for son to blow. When he hooked up with aftermath I thought that was it, but u know Dre was on some bullshit.

This is hip hop at it's finest and I wish all artist sounded like this on a record because right now everyone sounds the same and they aren't as lyrical as this dude. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017
Damn - This Is What The Game Is Missing - Hunger & Passion... Hope The Industry Don't Shut Him Out! This Guy Will Make Many Artist Go Back And Rewrite Their Rymes! Love It -
this is cool... I am in the South and I only hear about J Ortiz on the internet. but this is fire I won't lie. I wish everybody would stop tryin to compare up North rap to the South tho, they both have their plusses and minuses. everythang ain't meant for everybody & variety is tha spice of life.
thankyou hip-hop gods, a new artist thats true to the game, a breath of fresh air, goodbye commercial garbage when this man hits the streets.... its over
yo I heard this dude a couple of years ago in a Import Tuner mixtape. he was sic then. dude is the truth now!!!! joell put the east coast on your back and tote it back to the ring!!
Yeah, DJ 1Mic put put: Slaughterhouse - The Severed Heads Collection Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 They have Slaughterhouse songs like "Onslaught", "Move On", "Fight Club", "Wack MC's", and the song "Slaughterhouse" from Budden's CD which eventually lead to the formation of the group. It also has a bunch of freestyles and songs from Slaughterhouse members, and Joe Budden's "Who Killed Hip-Hop?" which is straight FIRE. Both CD's are over 80 minutes long. New CD comes out 8/11...BUY it, no downloading.
he turned them down for reasons... unless you see the particulars of the deal - you can't assume that it was a bad choice. Could have left him with little creative control, and little marketing budgets....then what?

This F***ing Real Hiphop
I'm from Queens but this Brooklyn dude is taking it back to another era. Punchlines are sick. Flow is tight. Flow is immaculate. This is an Emcee.
He bodied that record, resuscitated it, then bodied it again. Brooklyn's got a beast.
HIP HOP!
Always had him
Goddammit, when it's real it just hits forever. 🔥

EL DURO!!! Love his flow!!! Saw him live. Dude did not disappoint.
I remember when I first heard of Ortiz in like 08, this video had a couple thousand views
Is it weird that this track is still in my rotation?
Just revisited after so long!!!!!
Idk why it took soo long for this man to get his recongintion. He is everything that great hip hop was. He would wreck every single of today's top "hip hop" artists.. if thats what you wanna call them. The man's flow, bars and word play is nothing but elite
This dudes ridiculous. I've been listening to him for about 4 years. I'm definitely copping his album when it drops.
Ortiz is a beast he never lets me down with his flow
Beast flow right there...
one of my favorite rappers excuse me MC's
*applauds*
Great to hear a dope New York MC being true to hip-hop. Brooklyn STAND UP!!
This song is fuckin carizzzzzack!
Its years old now, but live as hell still.
Once again... pure lyricism!!!!
this is around 2 years old. He is the best MC I have heard in a minute, and I stay prayin for son to blow. When he hooked up with aftermath I thought that was it, but u know Dre was on some bullshit.
U weren't wrong
I can't believe it's been 16 years
the album Human brought me back here had to go back and listen to some raw rap
As nice as anybody. Real hip hop in effect. Real mc 🎤
Underrated .. Nuff said
As a drummer, I really appreciate that intro beat.

JOELL IS BLAKE GRIFFIN DA GAME! HE IS BEASTLY. THIS KINDA MUSIC GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS!
i been watchin joell rise from afar. This brotha got serious lyrical skills.
18 years ago- 🤯
2022 this rap is like wine get better with the years
Here the lyrics for better experience 😅
125 grams (BIO)
Intro]
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the most feared up and coming emcee of them all
Verse]
Joell Ortiz but of course you crazy?
That kid's been nothing but short of awesome lately
His mixtape received 4 stars in the U.K
Turned S.O.B's down several Tuesdays
Valet it up on hot 9 with Kay Slay
He on NBA Live 05
Cuz EA sponsored the rap battle last year that he won
A flight from L.A. headed back to where he from
Six hours so he copped a little something to read son
Source Mag page 66 was a regun
He got Unsigned Hype the recognition had begun
Very next Monday was XXL's Chairman Choice
Recently the P.R. Parade got to hear his voice
Now he back in XXL this time show and prove
Cuz he writing hit records and his shows improved
He's the dude you need to worry about
Three more mixtapes done he fina' put those out
Thats how he laugh at doubt
If I was you I would clear his path
Cuz everything about him say you wouldn't really wanna feel his wrath
He turned down three deals this last month
Labels playing tug a war with his name, he who they want
He signing over here "Nope", He signing over here "Nope"
The both of ya'll wrong, he grinding over there
In a city near you trying to strengthen his fan base
Layin down cuts like a band-aid
Know how many dudes this man paid, the list is endless
He carried big crates just to get in the club
And when he got in the club he gave out his mixtapes
His work ethic is great, his drives like T-Mac's
You let him go or share a poster, RELAX
Ease back give him room to breathe
All those who hated will all soon believe
All those who made it will all soon just leave
Once their fans get a whif of Mister Ortiz
He spits it raw please, don't confuse him with these other cats
He's a full workout they three jumping jacks
Front to back he's an obstacle to overcome
I mean you know nothing's impossible but don't be dumb
He grew up in Cooper Projects so you know he's slum
The only child, homie wild, he the only one I ever heard nick named the Peoples Champ
Underdog all his life earned his stripes doing things he ain't like
Like igniting the fifth all night hugging the strip serving a pregnant bitch hard white
He happy that his mom's never sucked a glass pipe
She use to sniff, getting her off that shit was a fight
Why the fuck you think homeboy go hard when he writes
Trying to make his future bright cuz his past got him tight
His cash might be light, pockets empty kid
But same time next year its MTV Cribs
He put his life on it twice on it
To make sure he can't ask that, his crib must gon' have a nice price on it
Chandalier's with the ice on it, Persian rugs with no mice on it
Huge T.V screens with classics episodes of Miami Vice on it
Indoor pool and the floor got a mic on it
Plaques all over the wall with his name engraved nice on it
Man listen his ambition gonna have the game locked like the box in San Quentin
Fin to win his race cuz he ran different
In through the nose out through the mouth
Not worrying bout his competition radio clout
Look straight same pace let them nigga's be out
They true colors gonna show later on, when they breathing all heavy and they legs is worn
Duke gone from having an ill buzz in the street
Yo yo, don't nobody give a fuck when he speak
I know, it could happen in a couple of weeks
Lifes a bitch ain't it?
But me I love every picture that this kid painted
He the difference between artists and rappers
Artists draw hits, rappers take flicks
Other rappers trace-it, man these nigga's ain't shit
Everything's ba-sic, they should claim the same clique
That's why everything he give hip hop came sick
Like the syringe in the vein of an AIDS patient
Kane spit on this BK remix take that
The kid is co-signed by the dudes who made rap
Face facts G Rap told Mike he got a problem on his hands
Mike is Joell's A & R just so y'all understand
KRS responded with one word "Damn"
The cyphers complete once he shake Rakim hand
He a one man movement
General, Colonel, Sargent, Major, Private, and them youngin's on the front lines shooting
Gun high trooping through this war with his music
And he ain't gonna stop till he drop get use to it
He speak English fluent his spanish pequeño
So doing reggaeton is a slight problemo, plus he sound moreno
They ain't know he was spanish till he transformed form quick and got his government established
But none of this matters, if you nice you nice
You could be Ethiopian rhyming for rice
You could be Hatian trying to rhyme for your rights
You could be South African writing rhymes for ice
You could be Cuban rhyming to cop you a nice, little boat that'll make it to the U.S. coast over-night
It is what it is, in this biz you live
When you die, that's when your records sales sky high
He tryin to rep while he alive, his heart still beatin'
Brain still dumbin' his nerves still tweakin'
Stomach still growlin' cuz what he's eatin
Ain't enough, bring the twelve gauge out its duck season
Give him one reason your career is gone
Say his name on a song he'll put yours on a tombstone
Not a pizza either, I'm talkin everybody black down crying to the words of a speakin preacher (Amen)
He's a deep believer, in what goes around comes around and whats coming around is dope
And what went around is his name and the strength of his flow
His ill show his radio appearances and mo'
Some things is maybe's and some things for sure
Some niggas is crazy and some nigga's M.O
Some nigga's is lazy and some nigga's just won't stop working till they get what they deserve, ya know!
That nigga is Joe E double L O R-Tiz, pa' please you one match in the snow
He's like a crib on the sun sitting next to the fireplace with the heater on a million and one
This young man is hot he'll sun tan your block
He gon' keep firing, your gun jam alot
Heat rise, expect to see this man on the top...
[Outro]
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the most feared up and coming emcee of them all
Joell Ortiz what they call you crazy
That kid has been nothing but short of awesome lately
