I wish we could get these on spotify or sound cloud even
damn i love seeing these rappers sing!!
still listening to this in october 2019
and to think Joey's deaf in one ear
@Max Rooks shocking I know
@Tropical99 he's almost completely deaf in his right ear
It's a fact look it up if ya don't believe me
Is he?
Really???
Definitely Biggie's successor
This is a true artist... he seems to have so many layers to his personality... so much to offer the world! Keep creating Joey! We're listening!!
Holy shit
This deserves to be a #1 hit
I would love it if Joey’s next album was a soul album
Nah he's way too good at rapping
I don't know if I like on the normal speed or if something happens on a different scale at .75 speed
Trash...
when doves cry
A good rapper AND a good actor; what an awesome rare combination! 😇
Is it Prince or Bone Thugs & Harmony...either way it's glorious
Smooth... so smooth.... 💜👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A listen to this all.the.time. 9/7/19
Best like a version ever
its funny how none of you know 2Pac originally made ''when thugs cry''
🤯
no mention of bizzy bone?
Yin = Joey Badass Yang = Denzel Curry 😁✌☯
Right on 💯❤❤❤❤❤
this video would really fit a happy ending of a gangsta movie
Prince wouldn’t have respected this bullshit honestly, this was pure hot trash. And it’s not when thugs cry it’s when doves cry 😭
Isn’t the prince song when the doves cry ?
Joey I ❤ you on Mr. Robot!
arguably the best cover on this channel
Great
Gonna sample the beginning. Thank you!
2019 an I'm still rocking to this
Jesus this that fire
What’s the name of the background singer?
One of the dopest performances I ever seen ..fire
This was fire. @npr let's get @denzelcurry in for a show!!!
That guitar riff at the beginning. 😩😩😩
Still fkn mint 👌

This man Makin love to that microphone lol
Holy shit! I couldn't be more amazed or impressed. Seriously.
Joey casa com minha mãe
Aaa amo esses covers❤💙💚
Wack
🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒✌
R.I.P Mac, X, Nip and many more...Who woulda known so much would've happened since this song
Joey Bada$$ this so smooth amazing job🔥🔥🔥
Super cool t trop cool
Put it on spotify please!
1:40 your welcome
This is incredible! 🤯🤯
Dude shown people how to remake a classic in his own way. bravo sir
real lit
In my opinion, this is the best Like a Version to date. The creativity and passion he puts into recreating this amazing song is out of this world. So many artists just come in and play another's song with the same tune etc. But this is just fantastic.
