    Joey is boombap kig of the new generation. Boom bap is not trendy genre, but it will remain for hipop. And he do boombap forever. He is saving the hip hop now! So I rated this elbum to high score.

    What I find particularly egregious about this album is its stale, braggadocios lyrical content. Despite being well-produced, most of its songs' melodies have little sonic variation between them. The only songs on this album I consider good are Wanna Be Loved, due in large part to JID's verse on it, and Survivors Guilt. But even then, they aren't songs that I would come back to listen to.

    Joey comes back with great flows and stale braggadocious lyrics. The production is great but not a whole lot is being said besides how great he is. Survivors Guilt is a great emotional song and a highlight on this album.

    Very solid album from Joey, and a great successor to his classic mixtape 1999. Survivor's Guilt is very emotional and raw, and a beautiful song paying tribute to Capital Steez.

    A solid album from Joey coming after years off an album release. This album was very much a revival of Joey's classic style as well as incorporating some newer and more meaningful lyrics. Some songs are particularly emotional although the theme seems to jump around, which I think keeps this from a full 10, but the songs individually are each very relaxing to listen to.

    “2000” is very much worth celebrating. Much of the production is handled by Statik Selektah, now a veteran with a strong reputation who regularly works with Joey and it’s his sample-flipping in particular that makes this album stand out.

    Although 2000 can’t compete with Kendrick Lamar‘s To Pimp a Butterfly, or even Joey’s own AMERICAN BADA$$, it does highlight a major issue in contemporary American societies: gun violence. ... If anything, the album proves his chops were never rusty.

    The album is emotionally mature beyond his years, and like 1999, it is a gateway to hip-hop sounds of the past while looking to the future, making for a project that shouldn't be skipped this year.
