Video Joey Bada$$ - The Ruler’s Back

[O.G.]

I like it. Not a shot at Kenny tho. I see it as a "Hey let's not forget about NYC spitters thing."

 

[JheriCurlJames]

This ain't targeted enough to be considered a diss

Also, Joey a puppy next to a mountain lion

fire

"Too much West Coast dick lickin'' is definitely a weird thing to say in 2025. Other than the beef they haven't been very relevant since the mid 2010s. I can see how it can be taken as a shot at Kendrick


Anyway, the track is dope. Joey over Conductor is something I somehow never thought of

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

Let’s call it what it is. He basically dissed the entire west coast, but at the same time standing up for the east coast.
The question is, who takes the first shot at him from the West and is it someone who is a worthy opponent.

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

Yall really running with this "he dissed Kendrick and the West coast" shit lol

 

[God_Body]

Joey, stealing my lines.

To play DA, there aren't many rappers out today worth talking about. The OGs are on their last ride, my generation is aging like milk and the next generation is trying to figure out if they're AI or not.

Murals in cities.
Fuck nominations.
West coast licking.
In the video doing the Hotline Bling dance that Kendrick mocked at the pop out.

Just because the diss is in the spirit of respect and competition doesn’t make it not a diss.

West Coast niggas been worth talking about

Which is why Unique in his feelings bro could just make better music and inspire his side to follow suit instead of hating when he ain’t even near the top of the pecking order on his side

I like Joey’s music usually.

He got bars ,but this ain’t it as far as shooting at the west.

I liked that pentagram bar.

And he’s obviously shooting at Kendrick.

He couldn’t even deal w Troy Ave

That’s more of his level he should handle that first instead of clout chasing

I think he figured Ave was really fucking with street dudes who would easily touch him so he played it safe.

Kendrick can make it real uncomfortable for him on the Weatcoast
