Untitled

1999 is the debut mixtape by New York independent rapper Joey Badass. It was released on June 12, 2012.[1][2][3] It features production by Chuck Strangers, Lewis Parker, Lord Finesse, MF DOOM and J Dilla, among others. The mixtape also features guest appearances from members of Pro Era, Badass's hip hop collective. The mixtape is based heavily around musical samples.[4][5][6][7] Music videos have been released for "Hardknock", "Survival Tactics", "FromdaTomb$" and "Waves"

Reception

The mixtape was nominated for mixtape of the year by BET.[8] Pitchfork Media gave the mixtape an 8 out of 10 rating and praised his old soul, and Golden age sound.[9] Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote: "What confounds me is that a high school kid from Flatbush is making music this era-specific, and, more importantly, that he’s so good at it."[10] Joshua R. Weaver of The Root remarked that 1999 "showcases the burgeoning renaissance of a hip-hop sound and vibe that far precedes the teenaged rapper."[11] Jesse Fairfax of HipHopDX opined that the mixtape's "careful tracing of long established blueprints gives rise to debate on whether the newcomer presents a worthwhile reminder of Hip Hop's so-called glory days or if he risks placing himself in a nostalgic box".[12] 1999 was ranked the 38th best album of 2012 by Complex.[13] The Versed named it "Mixtape of the Year".[14] It was also named one of the best mixtapes of the year by HipHopDX.[15]
