Yeah, because he didnt sell his soul to the business, all these fake ass rappers get air time because they sold out. just like he says here about what the devil told him to do to get attention, with the slim jeans and aim your songs at party and fun.
Everything about this song is amazing. The production, arrangements, the singing on the hook, Joe's paranoia and Crooks truth. Followed by that guitar solo.
If you liked this make sure to listen to Walk with me, Downfall, State of you, Calm Down, Pray for me and Forgive Me. Joe is so underrated........what a shame.
Outcast, role reversal, world keep spinning (whole escape route album crazy), Mama Said, Pain won't stop, no love lost outro...jus to add a few more gems
Korey Ghard when I tell people Joey is one of my top 5 I also tell them you gotta be going through some shit or be really intelligent to get why joe is one of the best
@@aaronhopkins9324 yessir Joe heavily influenced by Pac! He recites his bars openly & proudly n thats dope to me.. With age & maturity you can tell Joe grew into wanting to be a leader in the black community which is also a trait from Pac, Joey always cared for his people but to quote him 'hurt ppl hurt ppl' he prolly had enough shit up on his plate with the women & drugs.. Rappers like Pac Budden & Cole are important for the culture cus they give everything they have back to us, they use that mic for a different purpose than their own benefit.. you feel me?
@@HollerAtAlex very true. Kendrick to. Get tried hearing the same shit. But when u actually feel music rather than just hear u know that the are special
I told him I just wanted to be the modern day Marvin Gaye He said you might wanna rethink that Cause I know where your father stay I'll possess him to pick up the chrome Pop you in the dome for trying to tell the people for what's going on FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.
ive heard this song over and over and over. Greats records will never get old they just get put away for a second then get dusted off and put back in the record player. one of the illest hiphop records ive heard in a while
I've heard this song years ago but every year my mind brings me back to this same song and it becomes more and more important to listen to this and take heave
Joe is awesome! And why? He's real, and he helps alot of people. This aint no complain, I for example am bipolar. And I write deep stuff because it feels good. Don't take medication cuz I've tried but it takes away my personality. So I for one Joe helps with he's brilliant music through life ups and downs. Your the man Joe!!
The first time I heard this piece of art I played it for a month straight. Side Note: As a non American I didn't even know Marvin Gaye was killed by his own father until this song.
Nobody messing with Joe Budden in making emotional and excellent albums, dude makes great music and his production is excellent and when it comes to hard core bars nobody messing with crooked I.
I remember back in like 2013 when I got a CD from my buddy with some titled fresh hot jams in sharpie and this song was on it and still to this day I appreciated that very much this song has got me through the worst of the worst very underrated and the gutair solo at the end always tears me up man
Also I was blessed to open up for Joe in my city. My personal favorite rapper, and they always say you don't want to meet your "hero, or what ever you call it". When I met him I said "Thank you my n__ he said, .. nah thank you. Y'all on this wall right here, we need you, and thankful for people like ya'll. Real talk.
I've always said 20 years from now when future generations are working their way thru raps past...budden' work will rise to the top and be more property appreciated
Hands down. Joey is one of the GOATS and I'll smack anyone who disagree's with me. Y'all youngins...don't bother me with that foolery. None of your sheep are fit to compete in this match....no names needed to mention-you know who you R......Kelly! LOL! #goatmc
Lia Bracey for really, not only is he an elite lyricist, he’s hands down the best scout in hip hop history.... The team he accumulated (the 4 quarters of the slaughter) (almost had Nino bless on there too). Dude deserves his props. He too sensitive off the mic though which is his only downfall.
Same hate to make excuses but deltession2kept me from being a great lyricist.I use to be told i was jusy as good as the greats lyrically but depressiom and not being able tp concentrate has always stopped me...maybe next life time
People who really know, know what this song is about, and just one more reason why Joe isn't as successful as he should be. There's only so high you can go so dope/good you can be. But if you don't "Pay That Price" You will never fully be recognized as a worldwide success.
i love joe's music but this man's ego fuck his carreer he did it in defjam with jay with em in slaughterhouse with his team on the podcast joe should be bigger music wise but it is what it is and for crook he makes real real rap music and theres only so much people who listen to real real rap
Exactly!. " aim my music towards the gangstas and whores, but i just wanted to be the modern day marvin gay" This is to funnel impressionable young people through the profitable prison systems.
So nobody think there's something interesting about Crooked I's verse. There's Metaphors then there's just man spitting straight truth about the elite industry.
0:46 - 0:53 Tried to use my truths as a means to gain power... Same tricks, same cowards, that's why I be like "FUCK" any ni**a that ain't ours..! ... This line right here!
As the 311 song says: "The Industry's ability to manufactured stars ---- they turn em out like Iwo Jima makes cars." He proceeds to talk about the: "sheep, who keep on buying that soulless crap."
Man seeing even the small number of people listening to this just want to thank you for listening to real hip hop
Murphe Lee !!!
We're all here, more of us would comment but we're busy bumping this.. I feel you tho!
1 million now man 💯💯
Hes generic
we been sleeping on a giant and we didnt know
Such a shame people don't give Budden his credit. Dude is poetically blessed.
all of slaughter is.. hip hop a business full of radio pop beats over lyrics.. joey gets slept on bcc he chose respect over a check.
MrHsharris we are the ones blessed because of his poetry
David Williams word
Yeah, because he didnt sell his soul to the business, all these fake ass rappers get air time because they sold out. just like he says here about what the devil told him to do to get attention, with the slim jeans and aim your songs at party and fun.
His peers do.
Crooked’s verse is deadly
Strong🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Possibly one of the sickest rap verses ever written.
First day of 2024 and this song still hits … miss Joe making music but happy to see where he is at today !
Two of the best to ever do it 🙏🏼
2024💪🏾❤️🔥💪🏾
💯👌🏼
Everything about this song is amazing. The production, arrangements, the singing on the hook, Joe's paranoia and Crooks truth. Followed by that guitar solo.
The arrangement is a sample of The Bombay Theme by A.R. Rahman
If you liked this make sure to listen to Walk with me, Downfall, State of you, Calm Down, Pray for me and Forgive Me. Joe is so underrated........what a shame.
Walk with me is one of my favorite songs of all time
***** Find a way/Whatever it takes, Inseperable, Freight train , Runaway, Dear Diary, Angel in my life, Calm Down. Just to name a few.
10 minutes is my favorite record from him, fucking amazing...
joe aint underrated at all every rapper that can spit always give joe his respect on the mic.people get on him for the corny shit he does as a person
Outcast, role reversal, world keep spinning (whole escape route album crazy), Mama Said, Pain won't stop, no love lost outro...jus to add a few more gems
any budden song with a guitar riff at the end never disappoints
You right. I like when he steps back and lets the guitar bleed too
the reason Joe budden is amazing is because he comes from a heart and mental aspect ,he goes deep
Right
Korey Ghard when I tell people Joey is one of my top 5 I also tell them you gotta be going through some shit or be really intelligent to get why joe is one of the best
Tupac and dmx

Joe Brutal, and Crooked I is a Beast. 😭😭🔥🙌🏾. Even in 2021, verse still slaps harder than Covid. 💯
BRO HE'S A TRUE MC. THIS GENERATION IS SOOO CLUELESS ON HIP-HOP
Both are.
The marvin gaye metaphor is the craziest lines i heard in a while
Right?!
YES!!!!!
You ain't lying
I told him I just wanted to be the modern day Marvin Gaye
He said you might wanna rethink that
Cause I know where your father stay
I'll possess him to pick up the chrome
Pop you in the dome for trying to tell the people for what's going on
FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.
That's what really happened
Yupp, I know
that line was tough
That line was hard as fucc
Truth
7 years later. Thank you Joey.
ive heard this song over and over and over. Greats records will never get old they just get put away for a second then get dusted off and put back in the record player. one of the illest hiphop records ive heard in a while
Agreed. When this song was released, I played the shit out of it. Stopped listening for a bit and now it's back on repeat. Lol
crooked i just rapped a verse that got potential to be one of the greatest verses in rap music...that ryhme scheme is incredible.
no disrespect to Joe .. but Crooked i came with his best.
Facts. Joe even said himself in an interview he did that he doesn't know anyone that can out rap Crooked.
Dorrell Collins
not to be a stan but he cant hang with Em
i'd hate to say, but he could be one of the few that could
Rowan Williams
hang maybe.. not outshine
I've heard this song years ago but every year my mind brings me back to this same song and it becomes more and more important to listen to this and take heave
8 years ago… To this day this song keeps me sane in dark places. Need this on Apple Music
Same. Stay strong 💪🏾
Joe budden is very highly rated.... by a few. Why isn't it more? Dude's been fire for well over a decade
6 years I'm still listening 🎧
31st August 2044 lol 😅
Joe Budden is seriously my favourite rapper right now.
Stanly Manly definitely I’m doubling back on what I missed and Good Lord Lol And this Crooked Verse 🔥🔥🔥
For sure
Budden a real rapper.
Joe Budden is so underrated! This album is great!
Expect the UnexpectedPG !!!
"your friends gonna be your demise, some of em is me in disguise...."
Crazy bars
Kevin Mahoney I wish I could like that comment twice
insane meaning to the people that get it...
so selfish you aren't friends with anyone that's not just like you
...then they become exactly like you.
Cold blooded sheesh
Realest dude I ever heard spit man. Puts hit heart on a track, but more lyrical than most that have wore their heart on their sleeve.
One of the best songs ever made, beat, lyrics and damn that outro! Now I gotta listen to it until i hate it.
This is actually a typical Joe Budden sound lately. You should listen to A Loose Quarter and Some Love Lost.
+Noctis Caelum Right
Been a few years and I still love it lol
The outro is sick!
Joe has to be one of the most underrated in the last decade .
This verse reminds me why I love crooked so much
Today is 9/5/2024 && still bumping this.
this song is 🔥🔥 but that Marvin Gaye reference from crooked i gave me chills
yo son. this joint touch ya soul fam
I know that shyt was hella crazy right?!?
Joe Budden is dope he said " never slipping, never threatening, i think they 4gettin , 4 a second non- fiction ain't a Weapon " Wow
Joe really have some great songs to listen to everyday.💯💯🔥✌️✌️💪
Joe is awesome! And why? He's real, and he helps alot of people. This aint no complain, I for example am bipolar. And I write deep stuff because it feels good. Don't take medication cuz I've tried but it takes away my personality. So I for one Joe helps with he's brilliant music through life ups and downs. Your the man Joe!!
Another classic on the budden charts
Crooked I destroyed this beat!
Salute to that verse. Feel that shit 100.
Don't get me wrong, Joe straight bodied this also.
underrated is an understatement this dude had been doing it for years and his shit is is still fresh respect joe budden
The first time I heard this piece of art I played it for a month straight.
Side Note: As a non American I didn't even know Marvin Gaye was killed by his own father until this song.
Trying to protect his mother from his father.
Need instrumental. Crooked killed it n this joey at his best 👌
yes indeed we do!!!
THIS IS WAT WE CALL RAP FROM THE PLANET WEAR I AM FROM
Yes sir
indeed... real shit.
Incredible music, Joey delivers again
Where*
like for real
This track is one of the best I've ever heard
Sick beat. The strings at the beginning were sampled from a.r rahman bombay.
Nobody messing with Joe Budden in making emotional and excellent albums, dude makes great music and his production is excellent and when it comes to hard core bars nobody messing with crooked I.
I remember back in like 2013 when I got a CD from my buddy with some titled fresh hot jams in sharpie and this song was on it and still to this day I appreciated that very much this song has got me through the worst of the worst very underrated and the gutair solo at the end always tears me up man
Now THIS is the Joe Budden I wanna hear. Amazing.
This song literally kept me up all night
the realest shit I ever heard...4 years on.
Crooked I killed it with those rhyming syllables one after another without taking a deep breath. He is a true MC by definition!
Also I was blessed to open up for Joe in my city. My personal favorite rapper, and they always say you don't want to meet your "hero, or what ever you call it". When I met him I said "Thank you my n__ he said, .. nah thank you. Y'all on this wall right here, we need you, and thankful for people like ya'll. Real talk.
Still listening in 2019...and going to continue in 2020 🔥
Let's go parks!!!!! Them strings are crazy at the end
A blessed rapper that has a gift
Joe is talented and underrated af man...
Jon Coleman Yeah but he is also a hip-hop diva who loves the smell of his own farts but he is a talented artist, I can't deny...
I've always said 20 years from now when future generations are working their way thru raps past...budden' work will rise to the top and be more property appreciated
its cause the sheep only look at hits...if that the macklemore better than slaughterhouse
Jon Coleman true he was but now he a podcast nigga
Jon Coleman it's because he's woke u know this shit is real!
Hands down. Joey is one of the GOATS and I'll smack anyone who disagree's with me. Y'all youngins...don't bother me with that foolery. None of your sheep are fit to compete in this match....no names needed to mention-you know who you R......Kelly! LOL! #goatmc
Lia Bracey for really, not only is he an elite lyricist, he’s hands down the best scout in hip hop history....
The team he accumulated (the 4 quarters of the slaughter) (almost had Nino bless on there too). Dude deserves his props.
He too sensitive off the mic though which is his only downfall.
Aiight. Real Talk.💯
"I think the weed startin' to fuck wit a ninja" 🎵🎸🎵🎸...that whole outro is addicting
i been listenin to budden for almost 10 yrs now and i always come back here
THE PLUG !!
Crooked I exposin some real true shit crazy
THIS TRACK IS TO FAR AHEAD OF ITS TIME THIS IS WHAT A TRUE HIP HOP TRACK IS ALL ABOUT
Crooked I had a better verse but they both killed it....this is real RAP music
Super duper #Underrated Joey for President of Hip-hop. The Homie Crook killd it too ! 2 of the greatest
One of the my favorite songs ever!! This was high school for me!!
still makes me tear up....fuckin amazing...
word son
Yes Budden is underrated, but its even worse how bad Crooked is underrated.
Adam - S who’s more underrated? Budden or Crooked?
@@gideonbrock4624 I'd say Joey cause his body of work is wayyy bigger
Crooked was wack. Can't control his flow or words, on this song at least.
Crooked is nice af but his albums are like scattered thoughts. There is no direction.
Crooked I snapped on this record!
Joe has demons stemmed from depression, in that light I can relate, tortured souls
And addiction
Right only mothafuckas that went threw and goes threw that shit and deals with that shit knows THE REAL FEEL Budden knows one of ma inspirations!
Yep, me as well
At least we have souls
Same hate to make excuses but deltession2kept me from being a great lyricist.I use to be told i was jusy as good as the greats lyrically but depressiom and not being able tp concentrate has always stopped me...maybe next life time
It's so sad realizing how slept on joe budden is
People who really know, know what this song is about, and just one more reason why Joe isn't as successful as he should be. There's only so high you can go so dope/good you can be. But if you don't "Pay That Price" You will never fully be recognized as a worldwide success.

Exactly!. " aim my music towards the gangstas and whores, but i just wanted to be the modern day marvin gay" This is to funnel impressionable young people through the profitable prison systems.
Absolute perfection! The beat is incredible, the verses are incredible and the outro is beyond words :')!!
💯, the outro is sick
The devil greeted me wit a smile ..He said that he's been here for awhile..Damn!
The Marvin Gay part was amazingly thought out and crafted perfectly!
KXNG crooked I steal it again...lyricist at the highest level...salute to the west side.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So nobody think there's something interesting about Crooked I's verse. There's Metaphors then there's just man spitting straight truth about the elite industry.
2021 and still frequent this
Most underrated mc to touch a mic.
Don’t ever sellout, that’s the message in a nutshell.
Gawd this songs 🔥🔥🔥but that hook really gives me goose bumps
dreadlocks777 this song is dark as fuck
I'm happy to have music like this in my last days! Pray for me-joe Budden
Mannn this is an absolute masterpiece 💯
#2022 Real art is ageless
This shit still fire to me 💎
Still listening in 2019 🙏🙏🙏👏
0:46 - 0:53 Tried to use my truths as a means to gain power...
Same tricks, same cowards, that's why I be like "FUCK" any ni**a that ain't ours..!
... This line right here!
That guitar in the end, BRUH! gave me chills all the way down to my butt hair. WORD!
Pause!!! But word it was fire lol
thank god you said that I was looking for someone to say that ...next level
Dreamerz vibes
This is straight cold blooded murder from 2 lyricist...king crooked I nuff salute from the west coast homie...💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
"When cesar was stabbed in the back he was the one who placed the knife in brutus fist" god damn
....now he got his hands in our music biz...
His whole verse was insane
Crooked’s verse one of the best verses ever written
Crookeds verse one of the best ever.
Joe is cool as fuk very talented articulate man very underrated well respected ,!!!
no body in the game spits such amazing poetry and words that have endless meaning
2023 and I still listen to this. Joe will go down as one of the best podcasters of our generation. I’ll always remember him as Mouse!!!
This joint is sic!!!
We all know these two Mcees went crazy on this, CLEARLY ! But can we give a big salute to the guitarist at the end of this record !? SHEESH !!!!
Close 2 the mill without selling ya soul.
Crooked I is one of the coldest, idgaf what anybody says
Kxng crooked is the greatest rapper dead or alive.. been for years 🐐
Shoulda saved this for the next Slaughterhouse album. SH badly needs concept songs like this.
Yeah they really do
Sabra Nott now we know why this wasn’t on the album unfortunately 🤦🏾♂️
Still one of the best songs
#2019
Still
Finally some hip hop in this whack year of music
Lookup horseshoe gang they are crooked i's brothers and they dropped 11 mixtapes this year
wootwutwoot 12 now and that 12th, woooooo, them dudes gonna be a problem
Billy Mcbilly it's going down hill fast. Joe budden is the truth
Everything from Joes poetry to Kxng Crookeds rhyme scheme, the singing and even that guitar solo were fucking sick##
My god...they are both so beasty. I love this joint so much.
They killed this, been listening this one for years and in terms of message flow and bars this might have been the best thing I’ve ever heard 🤷🏻♂️
Yo this and ransom recent song nefarious are some of the hardest concept songs I've ever heard.
Still bangin in 2018. Barz, and Crooked murked this shit. "Pray for me" nasty asf too
Just listened to Royce talk about how incredible Crooked is. Truthfully that just may be the greatest verse I've ever heard.
The production on this song is crazy!
This is Hip-Hop, I don't understand how we don't hear slaughterhouse on the radio more. I guess it ain't about who's the nicest no more.
Crooked verse explain why this isn't on radio
did you not listen to the lyrics??!
on xm they got eminems radio channel
CxCAINEGENERAL real
As the 311 song says: "The Industry's ability to manufactured stars ---- they turn em out like Iwo Jima makes cars."
He proceeds to talk about the: "sheep, who keep on buying that soulless crap."
