Joey
Bada$$ and Buckshot discuss Brooklyn "s evolution and today "s Hip Hop "Golden
Age."
Joey Bada$$ recently sat down with Black Moon "s Buckshot to discuss the parallels
of their careers and the significance of Brooklyn.
"Brooklyn is the land of business," Buckshot said in an interview
with fellow Brooklynite Joey Bada$$ for MTV. "B.K. Business Kings. You
understand that? That "s why Joey is a Business King. That "s why I "m a Business
King. That "s why Jay Z is a Business King. Brooklyn [makes] Business Kings because
we "re hustlers."
After discussing their Brooklyn connection, Buckshot also praised Joey Bada$$
for his work.
"Officially, from my heart to yours, when it comes to right now, you are
that nigga," Buckshot said.
Buckshot also went on to discuss Kendrick Lamar "s much-discussed "Control"
verse and Hip Hop "s "Golden Age."
"Y "all are the new Golden Age," Buckshot said. "Thanks to y "all,
the age has survived. Thanks to y "all. There was a point when people were saying
Hip Hop ain "t the same. Hip Hop is dead. Hip Hop is this. Hip Hop is that. Now?
All respect due to Kendrick Lamar, King of the West Coast, King of New York,
whatever is the stuff that "s going on right now. I love the competition, but
Kendrick Lamar go against the Beast Coast? Whoo. I "m just an OG here, loving
the fact that I retired that level of it and now you have to deal with a brother
like Joey, which is a .45 magnum with a knife at the tip and a shotgun at the
end."
