Joey Bada$$ 2000 Album Review By TrapPolitics
After a long hiatus, the Brooklyn native Joey Bada$$ releases a high anticipated album, "2000". The Trap Politics editor and chief give his review.
The Brooklyn bad mun Joey Bada$$ is back with a highly anticipated album, “2000”. The long-awaited album by Joey Bada$$’s comes between him acting, touring, and more. Joey Bada$$ lyrical skill put him in many conversations on the East Coast as one of the most skilled lyricists out of NYC. His Last album All-Amerikkkan Bada$$ landed him a platinum single “Devastated” which peaked at 47 on Billboards Hot Hip-Hop & R&B list.
The track list below is a subjective play-by-play rating, of how the album sounds, to a long-time supporter hearing it for the first time. Enjoy.
Track 1. The Baddest (Ft. Diddy)
3/5
It has a clean sample and was well produced. With trash-talking lyrics, complimented with P.Diddy’s vintage ad’libs give the song a nice NY vibe.
Track 2. Make Me Feel Lyrics
3.5/5
Another vintage sample with production by Static Selector. A great combination that can never go wrong on a track. No hook, just punchline after punchline, giving the track a mild hit of dopamine.
Track 3. Where I Belong
3/5
Another track produced by Static Selector is a great combination, as was last mentioned. Joey Badass takes you down memory lane about his come up, which is always refreshing. RIP the Queen of Brooklyn Nenobia Washington.
Track 4. Brand New 911 (Feat. Westside Gunn)
2/5
The beat is clean, and it’s a typical track to have a feature like Westside Gunn on. One thing I’ve noticed so far is that Joey Bada$$ kept the Jazz influence strong. But this is just the beginning.
Track 5. Cruise Control
3/5
A very personal song about his life and how he has developed as a man, and now how he is raising his daughter.
Track 6. Eulogy
3/5
Joey Bada$$ raps a different perspective of his journey. The beat has a 90s hip-hop rock, giving you a very nostalgic feel. Very well produced, the breaks keeps you rocking.
Track 7. Zipcodes
3.5/5
Joey Bada$$ takes you down the streets of Brooklyn, while he reminisces about his success. The beat is very smooth, which seems to be a recurring theme throughout.
So far at this point, I can’t connect or relate.. But I guess this is what happens when you’re successful, you become disconnected from the people who you were once in the struggle with you.
We are now passing the halfway point.
Track 8. One Of Us (Feat. Larry June)
2/5
A bounce track with Larry June, giving strong cali vibes. Not a track I would run back, but it has a nice summer bounce.
Track 9. Welcome Back (feat. Chris Brown & Capella Grey)
4/5
Something for the ladies, a song you can play at the party. The bounce is clean, and the features are calling for a video, and it could be a promoted single off the album.
Track 10. Show Me
4/5
The first song I can connect with. A song where he gets in touch with the struggle of getting into a relationship and growing together. The beat is clean and vibes it very smooth as a typical Static track would be.
Track 11. Wanna Be Love (Feat. JID)
4/5
Joey Bada$$ gets into his pocket and starts to add flair to his lyrics. The song is a deep view of what going through his head.. The JID feature adds the extra kick to make the song very conscious.
Track 12. Head High
3.5/5
A very deep story about one of his close friends who he lost touch with. It gives me a throwback Joey vibe from back in 1999 album. A deep song about moving on, I can dig it.
Track 13. Survivors Guilt
4.5/5
As the album begins to wrap up, the songs get a lot deeper. Like the last three songs, he talks about his relationship with his close friends. And this song goes deep into his relationship with his long-lost friends Cap Steez and others.
Track 14. Written In The Stars
3/5
As the last track on the album, the song takes you on a trip through what it took to get him through the struggles. As well as having P.Diddy to close the album.
Summary
3/5
In the end, the album was a smooth vibe through and through. Very nostalgic with the beats, and having Static Selector is always a nice mix when you’re cooking a New York-style album. Does it have playback value? Not for me. Will it chart? I don’t think so. But as a supporter, I do enjoy this body of work.
After a 5 year wait, I would expect a slight change in his flow and delivery. He has the skill to go darker, and grittier like the single Rev3nge he drop not too long ago. But.. On this album, he’s talking about the same thing he spoke about for some years now, so it’s kind of hard to not feel jaded when listening.
