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.
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
Just turned Forty a couple weeks ago and the night of my birthday I bumped this track over and over again walking the shoreline till around three o’clock the next morning and drove home. I called off of work that next day. Knocked out at 517am. Woke up at 7:36am. Played this song while I was lacing up my sneakers. And went to shoot some hoops. Just survived two weeks on super hot days and that morning it rained. Changed the whole song for me. Thank you Sage.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!!
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.
nobody understands how sharp joe budden is because everyone wants to listen to everyone thats overrated and not stop and listen to the words that spill out of his mind.
Just starting to get back in to old homie. His deeper shit where the fuck its at. And everybody already know Crooked I drop knowledge on every track he bless 💯💯💯
This is real rap right here I like this song way different then other rap songs for real its a scary situation the music industry is like that forreal .....
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."

3/1/2025, people sleep on Joe's music because of the Eminem stuff.
🫡
Crooked’s verse is deadly
Strong🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Possibly one of the sickest rap verses ever written.
7 years later. Thank you Joey.
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
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.
8 years ago… To this day this song keeps me sane in dark places. Need this on Apple Music
Same. Stay strong 💪🏾
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
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

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
Joe Budden is so underrated! This album is great!
Expect the UnexpectedPG !!!
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 Brutal, and Crooked I is a Beast. 😭😭🔥🙌🏾. Even in 2021, verse still slaps harder than Covid. 💯
Joe budden is very highly rated.... by a few. Why isn't it more? Dude's been fire for well over a decade
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
One of the my favorite songs ever!! This was high school for me!!
This verse reminds me why I love crooked so much
Joe has to be one of the most underrated in the last decade .
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.
This track is one of the best I've ever heard
"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.
Joe Budden is dope he said " never slipping, never threatening, i think they 4gettin , 4 a second non- fiction ain't a Weapon " Wow
the realest shit I ever heard...4 years on.
Another classic on the budden charts
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
still makes me tear up....fuckin amazing...
word son
underrated is an understatement this dude had been doing it for years and his shit is is still fresh respect joe budden
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!
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 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
Crooked’s verse one of the best verses ever written
Crooked I killed it with those rhyming syllables one after another without taking a deep breath. He is a true MC by definition!
2021 and still frequent this
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!
This song literally kept me up all night
A blessed rapper that has a gift
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
The devil greeted me wit a smile ..He said that he's been here for awhile..Damn!
True story
"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 !!
Super duper #Underrated Joey for President of Hip-hop. The Homie Crook killd it too ! 2 of the greatest
Joe really have some great songs to listen to everyday.💯💯🔥✌️✌️💪
Most underrated mc to touch a mic.
Let's go parks!!!!! Them strings are crazy at the end

Crooked I verse should be in a museum
Still listening in 2019...and going to continue in 2020 🔥
Yo this and ransom recent song nefarious are some of the hardest concept songs I've ever heard.
The Marvin Gay part was amazingly thought out and crafted perfectly!
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.
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.
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
Need instrumental. Crooked killed it n this joey at his best 👌
yes indeed we do!!!
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.
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!!!
I'm happy to have music like this in my last days! Pray for me-joe Budden
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
Now THIS is the Joe Budden I wanna hear. Amazing.
Crooked I exposin some real true shit crazy
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!!
This shit still fire to me 💎
The production on this song is crazy!
Mannn this is an absolute masterpiece 💯
#2022 Real art is ageless
Don’t ever sellout, that’s the message in a nutshell.
Today is 9/5/2024 && still bumping this.
It's so sad realizing how slept on joe budden is
THIS TRACK IS TO FAR AHEAD OF ITS TIME THIS IS WHAT A TRUE HIP HOP TRACK IS ALL ABOUT
Close 2 the mill without selling ya soul.
Still bangin in 2018. Barz, and Crooked murked this shit. "Pray for me" nasty asf too
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.
Crookeds verse one of the best ever.
Sick beat. The strings at the beginning were sampled from a.r rahman bombay.
Absolute perfection! The beat is incredible, the verses are incredible and the outro is beyond words :')!!
💯, the outro is sick
True story
nobody understands how sharp joe budden is because everyone wants to listen to everyone thats overrated and not stop and listen to the words that spill out of his mind.
Crooked I is one of the coldest, idgaf what anybody says
Still one of the best songs
#2019

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 !!!!

Just starting to get back in to old homie. His deeper shit where the fuck its at. And everybody already know Crooked I drop knowledge on every track he bless 💯💯💯
Just listened to Royce talk about how incredible Crooked is. Truthfully that just may be the greatest verse I've ever heard.
Everything from Joes poetry to Kxng Crookeds rhyme scheme, the singing and even that guitar solo were fucking sick##

Rap = Rhythm and poetry
This is the true essence of rap and BOY is it strong in this one.
This is real rap right here I like this song way different then other rap songs for real its a scary situation the music industry is like that forreal .....

CxCAINEGENERAL real
As the 311 song says: "The Industry's ability to manufactured stars ---- they turn em out like Iwo Jima makes cars."
