Joey Badass: I’m a better rapper than Tupac

[TayGettem]

Bad ass ain't even on black thought mos def or qweli level of back pack rap... him talking like that is hilarious

So ur saying they could out bar pac...but Joey can't even though he'd be place in the same category

Dude makin up theoretical reasons he says he's "better" cause he has nothing real and tangible. And its neither here nor there. There is no way to convince most people he is touching Pac as a rapper on any level. (maybe using a dictionary to put words together nobody cares about) that doesnt make you a better rapper or lyricist than someone who can actually convey things and paint pictures. Its like a pretty obscure abstract painter saying they are "better" than the best portrait and realist painters. Just nonsense that means nothing. For the few who prefer dude, fine but your in the minority and not going to convince the masses because its ludicrous.

The one thing I notice on the I.C especially with u older cats ur bias af when young cats compare themselves or get compared to legends yall rarely look at it objectively. Which in turn leads yall to say alot of shit that has nothing to do with what was said.

Joey said he could out bar pac

Joey would be considered a backpack rapper

Same as Joe Budden, Lupe, Mos Def, Eminem.....ya they could make a good song every now and then and get deep

But there mostly known for being lyrical miracle on the mic.

There's a nigga from Brooklyn named IV Seconds look him up he made a rap abt fckin street fighter and Dragon Ball Z that had nothing but bars

Pac can't do that, I admit pac is a better over all rapper cuz he can do alot of things Joey can't.

But if I had to pick between him and pac to spit a fire 16 abt ooooohhh human evolution off the dome I'd bet all my money on Joey

Let it go youngin

A bar about nothing ain't much of a bar

A bar about nothing would be going off topic....if I give u a topic to rap abt even if the topic is some b.s as long as u stay on topic and make it fye it has meaning sooooooo ya can u actually post a Joey track where his just babbling nothing

You can't say bars and lyricism means nothing. Words are what make rap different from other music. Making words rhymes that makes sense. Joey is a better lyricist than Pac. Rap is like basketball. You have players who can dunk, some that are 3 point specialist. Jump shooters, defensive players..... Curry is a better 3 point shooter than Jordan. No denying that. But that doesn't make him a better player than MJ. Same with Joey. If you put both on the mic and told them to spit. Joey would kill it. But if you gave them a topic to write and rap about. I would put my money on Pac. Pac content was on a 10. He could rap about anything. He also had a great flow and unique voice. Do I think he was the best. No. When he was alive no one I ever heard say it. But I can see why people feel that way. Cause he made music that everyone could relate to. Because he wrote about so many different experiences. Joey a better spitta than Pac, but Pac the better MC.

 

[power_wisdom]

On another note Joey not a top 10 lyricist either.

Also niggas said the earth was flat at one point they was wrong to just cuz the masses agree with u doesn't make u right I even dropped a video proving my statements....can any of u post a hot lyrical pac 16? I didn't say a 16 with content I said a hot 16 where his doing more than just saying Hennessy and enemy

 

[R.D.]

Got a couple of lines

"Relish fetishes, menaces want the senator’s percentages

If you ain't prejudice you still a nemesis

Smoking on the Clematis, get open like a present is

Now your presence is on the premises for them presidents"

Rappity rap shit...nothing of substance. Not a damn thing said here.

So now we changing the meaning of what a bar is saying of it has no content it has no meaning?....so now we gotta define what content is cuz we could say rapping abt fckin bitches, bussing guns (which pac did before) isn't content right? Rappin abt jewelry etc isn't content.....so lemme ask a question would those lines in Joey's verse have content if it fit the topic of the song....or are we just bring picky now

So now we sayin every legendary rapper who's ever rippty rapped or made a career off it aint shit

Yaaaaaa I'm done u niggas will change the rules whenever to fit your purpose

FOH

so when pun is doing that "Dead in the middle of Little Italy, little did we know

That we riddled blah blah blibipty" bullshit , y'all niggas are screaming GOAT!!!!!

So is Big L and Rakim wack rappity rap rappers now?

some of you niggas make me sick. 75% of the niggas that say joey has no substance and use meaningless words will turn around and say raekwon ghost and camp lo are goats even tho they have no idea wtf they are talking about. lool you pac fans man I swear

scust...

 

[TayGettem]

Do niggas really wanna use the content excuse cuz that's a double edged swords. Cuz niggas know they lying if they say all pac content was just dropping knowledge.....I'm assuming that's what u mean by content right? that dropping knowledge shit right. Only problem with that is content comes in all forms. Why u think they say things like "this movie will have violent and sexual content" or put explicit content on album covers......so is we talkin abt good or bad content is u saying Joey's raps have no content at all cuz if u say that u lying I can post alot of songs where he spits knowledge or gets on his political shit. If u think he all rippty rap "I flow like the nile" ass nigga then u clearly never listened to him like that.

But I digress we talkin bars right or we going deeper than that trying to define what a bar is? Cuz I can go either or b
