re: Has Joey Bada$$ been talked about on this board?

Yeah he was quite an intelligent character, extremely troubled, but intelligent. He believed that he was a fallen angel, a sort of god, sent to earth to level the field between good and evil. He thought that he would free people's minds and help everyone reach enlightenment, which he viewed as people having unlimited mental and physical powers.

He also thought that the baphomet (satan) was a entity that represented spiritual enlightenment and alchemy, and that humans were given the gift of alchemy and other things (such as gold for currency) but we poisoned these things with mortal traits such as greed and discrimination.

Overall, the main point of his life and death was that he thought the world would end in the year 2047, and he would come back to save the earth as an un-human entity and restore the energy balance between good and evil. He shot himself on december 23,2012 which adds up to 47 (the year he thought the world would end.

I think he suffered from severe schizophrenia and that was just compounded and made a whole lot worse from excessive weed use. (I believe the weed part because I suffer from depression and when I get super geeked I have some crazy arse dark thoughts like this dude was having, though not as extreme)

Here's a link to a facebook convo for anyone who is interested in reading more about it, its actually a pretty interesting read.
