Now all that is back and forth between these particular artists makes me pose the question. Where is size 7? Where is white tank top? Where is the big stepper? But then you know what I'm saying? Ladies and gentlemen, Joey called out Kendrick numerous times on Wackack. and of course instead of Kendrick coming out and responding to him the entire state of California is shooting at him instead and not only that but when you look at it from a

totality standpoint this man Joey has put out all type of tracks throughout this beef with the West Coast whether it's the rulers back that he put out at the beginning of this year whether it's the finals that he put out around may whether it's sorry not sorry whether it's my town i mean if we was really going throughout the discography oh can't forget pardon me um the red bull of freestyle so many bars that he sent towards l a and seemingly he remains unscathed even though every l a rapper in their mom has responded to him so that makes me pose the question Once more, where is Kendrick?

But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? So as far as currently, Joey has responded once more to daylight in a track titled Crash Dummy. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. And the span of 48 hours, I believe we've received the whole album of disses from artists

who were not even involved in this beef, to artists that we've been wanting to hear from, whether it's daylight, whether is Ray Vaughn. Currently, I've went over every single track in the past, well, not the past day or two, but the standout tracks, whether it's Daylight's Ayo track that this track Crash Dummy is responding to, whether it's Joey's My Town track, whether is Ray Vaughn's GoldenEye track, Daylights word to my mother track whether it's A-Z cheek what would you do question mark all of these tracks I've covered on this podcast so of course you could go back to those segments to hear me specifically talk about those tracks but just to give a overview for people who can't keep up right

this is like Disney Plus for MCU right now as there's a lot of moving parts so I'm here to give you the summary for all of it so anyways Joey is back again with his latest track crash dummy and not only is he back with this track but it's a response to daylight a oh track because when it comes to the ultimate who is the best rapper in the game people are offended when joey comes out and singles out not only one particular rapper but the whole west coast to the point where that's why you're probably seeing all these LA artists that people could care less if they involved themselves in the beef jumping out with their own disc tracks is because joey was never specific so now whenever all of these disc tracks are involved

along with joey responding to these artists now we're getting a disc track every single hour on the hour or it seems like that but one thing still remains important kendrick has not responded at all to joey not a post not supporting daylight or ray vaughn's track he's basically been silent and where have we seen this before obviously he was silent before he put out euphoria but do we believe that joey's challenge to the post uh the politzer prize winner do we think that he will come out and in return the competitive lyrical prowess that we're seeing right now from joey and from other la artists to be fair i mean daylight ray von are really out here showcasing what it looks like to be a top-tier lyricist even though it may not come

with this commercial success from the standpoint of witnessing art when it comes to rapping they are putting on a master class performance on how to put words together now with that that besides the point i think the best track in the midst of this entire beef is definitely ray vaughan and his track it wasn't go to nine that was his latest disc track i didn't like that one but it was a particular track i forget which one it was hold up because i cover this one it was titled it wasn't the final it was always okay it was titled error so um it's a pg podcast so we're not going to say it was before error but if you type in ray von error my coverage of it should pop up but also when it comes to the overall quality level of this

tracks i think ray von's energy on the error track was something that was intentional as far as him being from LA and tapping into the GNX sound because if you don't know GNX is one of the more popular albums currently as far as hip hop is considered right i think it's the most popular album because if you want to consider drake and party next door album r and b then objectively speaking kendrick has the most popular hip-hop album in the world with GNX currently being the seventh the most played album in the world the reason why i brought up drake and party next door is because their album some sexy songs for you surprisingly is actually above genex right now usually for the uh for the uh for the majority of this years it hasn't been the case um but it is some sexy songs for you

is currently the fifth most play album in the world but some would say that's an rmb album so objectively speaking kendrick has the number one most popular hip-hop album in the world which will lead you to believe if wanted to continue the marketing rollout i know he's on tour with siza but they ain't stopped kendrick from hopping on the anti-drake album as far as i never liked you or what was the album called we don't trust you something like that it was some passive aggressive terminology thrown towards albri all right let me see so future came out with metro and said we still don't trust you no even before that they had a we don't trust you they had two albums letting arbery know that we We are a sibling, the anti-Drake Avengers, whether it's the weekend, whether it's ASAP, Rick Ross.

Well, of course, you can't forget future Metro. And then, of course, you had Kendrick popping it off with his verse on like that, basically saying, forget the big three. It's just big, it's just big meat. I know that ain't who I think it is. So now you're saying all that in the midst of Drake being on tour. If you didn't know, he was on tour with 21 Savage. And just when they was wrapping up, guess who pops out on the anti- Drake album with, a verse on like that saying forget the big three it's just being me so now it's your turn to be on

tour and get shot at by rappers who you believe are not on your same caliber or level so we need you to respond the same way you went at drake talking about oh it's just for the sport we just rap people don't want to rap no more rap is just competitive that's all we're trying to do at the end of the day people are going to start realizing and it's going to be exposed that you only went at Drake for commercial success because here is another rapper which you will be lying to yourself to say if you say that Joey doesn't have the discography or the status in hip hop to at least get a response from Kendrick you'll be lying if you said that so joey going at kendrick is very frustrating for kendrick fans to see him not respond because guess what if a random la rapper

was going at drake best believe if there was a a rapper right now going at drake that has some type of powers whether it was i don't know a rapper out of la that had like has status but you know if there was a rapper out of l a that was to go at drake specifically name dropping him time and time again record after record joey has put out at least four to five tracks of just straight bars and then of course he has some hinting at his uh his urge in need to get in a lyrical combative uh about with Kendrick Lamar. So now you have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven disc tracks from Joey and we haven't received one response from Kendrick.

I best, I will tell you right now, there's no LA artist that would ever play with Drake's name like that without a response. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop like what's going on? So here Joey is once more with a track titled Crash Dummy and of course he went at Kendrick once more as I believe it was. was let me see was a dot maybe call us mail type of names okay so anyways um he uh joey said on crash dummies he said and thank you for making it clear that dot is scared hold up now i know that ain't who i think it is thank you for making it clear that dot is scared hold up

i ain't no way let me see what rapper goes by the nickname of dot. Hmm, I can't really fathom who that could be. I can't like contemplate the process of figuring out what rapper goes by nickname of, oh, I know that ain't who I think. You telling me that Kendrick Lamar's nickname is Dot. Obviously I already knew that, but Kendrick obviously don't know that because the way that Joey's been calling him out time and time again, even currently as he has his name, still in his mouth no did he you guys see that's the problem so this man joey is going at all the la rappers but is explicitly pointing out dot time and time again which is kendrick and talking about oh thank you for making it clear to me that dot is scared but i was at the party

and i was at the party but i also saw top there now i ain't going to lie to you that's a look i'm not going to stay on this track because you know there's a lot to break down right here But let's just say for the allegations that Ray Vaughn and Daylight was throwing towards Joe, was throwing Joey's way, it's very interesting how you come out and say I was at the party, but also Top was there. So you're not going to like, you know, debunk the rumors. Like you're not going to say like, oh, I was at the party, but I wasn't doing no freaky stuff. y'all got to hear what daylight and rayvon especially rayvon on golden eye what rayvon said on gold and i

is very prevalent to what i'm talking about right here anyways he said i was at the party but i also saw top there so y'all was so it was a plus like what we doing here like we ain't debunking rumors we just acting like y'all just added people in the mix that you didn't know about like i'm just so confused right now like hold up hold up now you guys see that's the problem so if joey doesn't want to debunk the rumors then that's one thing you know what i'm saying but you know that line saying i was at the party but i also saw top there as a rebuttal to what ray vaughn and daylight was accusing you of doing with ditty i'm just saying it's not the strongest debut and makes me believe that allegedly there might be that video that tdee keeps hinting towards so if they

released that video let's just say Joey technically never debunk the rumors maybe just maybe he may have to stand on it well you may have to see you guys see that's the so that being said um that was a very interesting bar I'm talking about also seeing top there is very interesting because if you're talking about top dog the TDE founder being at the the ditty party and you didn't debunk what you was doing there then um maybe he's just you know forfeiting that point towards the LA artist so anyways um he also said uh Kendrick's name again saying I seen this whole ex-wither from afar the way I read dot hmm all I know is there's no LA rapper that would ever play with Drake's name like that and continuously get away with it

so at first even I was hesitant to cover this guy I'm like oh this will blow over like the Red Bull freestyle all right he named drop a couple LA artists did a bunch of daylight flips which were fire by the way but i was like this gonna blow over we're gonna get back into music rollout for like young thug or something because none of these charts none of these tracks that are coming out as far as the disc variety are making the charts right and it's not the end all br we uh that's not the end all be all this is not just the commercial olympics right this is basically straight strictly for the art of putting words together and who can wrap the best so whenever they start to talk about different things when

comes to the ditty party that's when it makes me think oh hold up now are we really going to get to expose and all y'all really only about the art as far as putting words together because if you're rapping is one thing but if you're going to expose something which td e has hinted towards as far as them having video of certain things with joey and ditty and this is them this is not me so that you know get at them which you have which you know is why this track came out but uh this is going to be interesting to see how this unfolds and And ultimately, I just want to end off this segment by reiterating a sentiment that I've been saying for this entire segment. Where is size, I mean, white tank top?

I mean, where is Mr. Morale? With that being said, click my link to my bio. Let me know one of my social media. What do you think about Joey's track crash dummy? And at the end of the day, do you think Kendrick should respond? And who do you have up right now? Joey or the West Coast.
