Joey Bada$$ 1999 mixtape

[daytona 5000]

I'm a fan. You can tell dude is a student on hip-hop. How many 17 years olds you know have ever even heard of Lord Finnese? Or know where thr hook " Who the f&$@ passed you the mic and said that you could flow..."? This tape is

and like someone said before he's a young cat so there is definitely a lot of room for growth.

i love the production on this tape. all them old school chillout beats. he can spit and im a supporter of him he will only get better if he puts the time into it and he will be a beast

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Wow. From the production to the lyrics, this is pretty damn good.

All I've been listening to since it dropped.

That's off Infinite, right? I wasn't sure if it was used somewhere else, because not a lot of people have even heard Infinite.

All those references he makes just take me back.

Funky Ho'$

I just listened to the tape and wow

Im convinced son took a time machine back to '94 and recorded the album. The last track was a very good posse cut. Everybody went in, I thought before I even listen to it that I was gonna skip that track. And he ripped the Doom tracks too

 

[taymane23]

I can say this is refreshing music to hear especially coming from some young brothas mane.

 

[lil black jean jacket]

listening to it as we speak. is he saying Based God?

 

[lil black jean jacket]

this tape alone craps on anything OF will ever put out in their lifetime, shoot me fanboys

DOPE.

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

I will give this a listen and share my thoughts later. I listened to Daily Routine which is a solid track...intrigued to hear more.

 

[jukomy]

Just watched the vid for hardknock n the flows are too nice

Im downloading this asap

 

[cruthik3]

Really enjoying this. I wish the beats were mixed a little higher, but I'm assuming that's deliberate. I'm trying to figure out if I'm the only person who thinks he sounds like Big Noyd.

I am very impressed

edit: also I recognize that beat on Survival Tactics from somewhere, I know its Big L but can't think of the song right now.

 

[dathbgboy]

i liked what i heard from the youngster gon def give this a spin in the gym tomorrow

 

[guttagetsbusy]

I'm feeling this!

 

[airjordan jb23]

Love the use of the subtle vocals used in the beat for Hardknock.

The sample for fly like an eagle in Funky Ho'$ was used nicely too

I find it hard to believe a 17 year old put this *@$% together.

It's like he stole a bunch of old rhyme books from '94.

[maaarc]

One of those tapes you can play from the beginning to end w/out any skips imo...

 

[soversotowel]

not bad
