Last summer, the late Capital STEEZ joined Joey Bada$$ on 1999's "Survival Tactics", where he offered this verse: "They say hard work pays off/ Well tell the Based God don’t quit his day job." Now, as Fader reports, Lil B has offered a belated response with "I'm the Bada$$". (The YouTube video title continues, "(joey bada$$ DISS AND WARNING SHOTS) REAL HIP HOP".)

The track's from his upcoming mixtape Pink Flame, and yes, that's the disturbing artwork for it above. Aside from the track's title, the only line specifically about Joey is this one: "If you really think you a badass/ I turn you into trash, you little bitch." In the video's description, he warns Joey not to be "THE NEXT JOE", referencing his feud with Joe Budden.

Joey already responded on Twitter, writing, "Truthfully basedgod, your not worth the time.. Im glad eye was tho.. Keep bangin… A lil offended that he didnt go harder than that."
