[fameONE]

^Hey n00b, no double posting.

Joe Budden is garbage, and he's lost influence in the mixtape game. He can't hold a candle to Saigon, Jay Bezel or Jae Millz.

Nas is ill, but my man did release a couple of garbage albums.

BRANDON??? I'm going to assume that you haven't really listened to Joe Budden and your just making a generalization based on his debut album.

talkin bout he real he got equipped with a glock // but like kurt thomas he cant do shit on the block

some want me chained to a cell // but like julia roberts in oceans 12 they just playin themselves

sometimes i have to dumb down for these fake dudes to see us // so i might throw in an extra line like a fake adidas

who you rap dudes tryin to be son // you not a contender, you the dude that died tryna to be one

how the gun blinds these cowards want mine // but their big men are soft like the dallas front line

i hate guns like i hate condoms - dont like the feel to it // but i gotta stay safe so i still use it

you been waitin for some years, but everything is fake // its like a rear-view mirror, nothin is as it appears

CODE

i dont clap the four fifth? // if you believe that then youd believe Rick James died of natural causes

CODE

battling? thats a small thing // im like a christmas tree i just stand there and let my balls hang

CODE

point blank when hammers is out // i'll have it right up on ya skin just like the plastic on ya grandma's couch

CODE

if we beefin get smacked // dumb ninjas point burners at these DVDs like they beefin with smack

CODE

dudes tryna f**k you like incest // while you search like credit cards for who got your best interests

CODE

i ain't worried bout this or that droppin // cause dudes is fallin off, they like big mac toppings

CODE

these rappers is like tysons team // they cant tell its time to retire that mic

do you want more? i would have postefd more but i can't have that many quotes in a post joe budden has been killing it lately, 3 Sides to a Story might be the best storytelling song ever, i can't wait for mood music 2.

[jEllyBeaNs]

[vash1530]

^Can-I-Bus had weak beats and is completely irrelevant, despite his lyrical talent.

Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, MF Doom, KanYe West, Rhymefest, Consequence, 4 Ize, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, MF Doom, KanYe West, Rhymefest, Consequence, 4 Ize, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, MF Doom, KanYe West, Rhymefest, Consequence, 4 Ize, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, MF Doom, KanYe West, Rhymefest, Consequence, 4 Ize, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, MF Doom, KanYe West, Rhymefest, Consequence, 4 Ize, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, MF Doom, KanYe West, Rhymefest, Consequence, 4 Ize, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, MF Doom, KanYe West, Rhymefest, Consequence, 4 Ize, eh, you get the picture.

ever heard tibetan black magicians?
call that a weak beat.

[vash1530]

btw i try not even to think of the em's career has gone down... kanye is pretty good, but completely overrated
o and if any1 likes totally raw frees def juice is the king.

[*nightmare4taki*]

How could you forget his best line.

Im a grown man, so I ain't got to say no homo// cuz in the Real World most thugs ifs Karamo//

.

Since Im more of a mainstream person rather than underground, at this current time Im rolling with Kanye West.

[Im So Vain]

Mista Fab, Kanye West, Common, Lil Wayne

i would have postefd more but i can't have that many quotes in a post joe budden has been killing it lately, 3 Sides to a Story might be the best storytelling song ever, i can't wait for mood music 2.

Some of those one-liners are clever but for the most part, you posted a lot of mediocre metaphors to prove your point. Just because you know his music, doesn't make him any better than what he is. Ever heard of Big L? Joe Budden to Big L is like Ja Rule to 2pac. Better yet, since L is dead, why don't you cop some Papoose.

God sent me as scientist to cure AIDS and take it off the earth's mug, but they aborted me now he sent me back as a thug

A one liner is nothing without meaning behind it.

Gang violence killed my fam about 10 years back
Disregard for human life just to sell some crack
But drive-bys are still around, and thats a known fact
Don't believe me? Then try walkin' through Iraq
Unlike other colors, we have a salary cap
So when your pockets get fat, expect to get capped
Or invest in gats, straps and click-clacks
From a Russian cat free of tax

Again, metaphors and clever rhymes don't mean shit if they have no meaning. All those Joe Budden quotes are just party lines. Still not impressed.

Its understandable that Joe Budden isn't a mainstream sensation. Most lyrical artists aren't (which is unfortunate), but why has he lost his underground influence? Hiphop heads in the northeast that are wise to the mixtape game just aren't feelin Joe Budden. I got a few of his mixtapes right before he made it big and had his 15 minutes of fame; he was ok; nothing great; certainly not enough for me to waste my time researching and quoting his lackluster rhymes on an internet forum.

[Levy2k6]

man they ain't no current "sick" rapper.. they all suck..

i stop listening to rap like years ago... they all started sucking... i listen to late 80s to late 90s rap but thats bout it.. those were some good times then.

[fameONE]

^You don't know much about hiphop.

[*chaneun*]

when i saw "xhibit" on the list, i thought it said "xquizit"

[fameONE]

Its sad how Xzibit has fallen from lyrical grace. He seems a long ways a way from dropping another track like Paparrazzi

Joe Budden did make some meaningful song a while back that was similar to Common's Testify. I never heard the song, but from the lyrics the song looks promising.

Right now, I think Young Jeezy has the streets talking. His CD sounded good IMO, the experience was even furthered by my cousin's ample sound system.

I don't think you really listen to Joe Budden. Joe Budden is to Big L what Eminem is to Kangsta. Ok, maybe I gone too far. Conscious songs? Real Life and Rap, Sing For The Moment, So Long Goodbye, Dumb Out, more. Storytelling? 3 Sides to a Story, Calm Down, Only You, I Want You Back, more.

no names should be mentioned with mine
unless you talkin' Big Pun in his prime
maybe '96 Jay before Dame was throwin' money around
or 2Pac without Humpty around
or 50 before Em, Nas talkin' like a gun in a song
cam'Ron during Children of the Corn
beans before the cops came through and tried to grill him
im talkin' '95 Big L before they killed him
em before 8 Mile, Shyne before the jail shit
canibus no album out, before the L shit
talkin' about Kiss, DMX when he was f**kin' with coke
or Cuban Linx - Raekwon and Ghost
i do it All, who blend in so well in the game,
talkin Fab back when he was still spellin' his name, MAYNE
on my diddy shit, Memphis, Grizzly shit
like back in the day when Clue swiped all of Biggie's shit
rappers don't need trouble with I
unless it's Ras Kass before the D-W-I
or Talib and Mos, Common before Be
if they any less common don't put 'em before me, SEE
see, I'm not a rapper, I'm a prophet

if hip hop is all smoke and mirrors joe budden is the windex and the napkin. papoose? he has multis and clever punches at times, but his flow is like a pass from sebastian telfair - only on point half of the time. plus his voice and deliver i cant stand. as joe budden said, his style reminds me of spinning rims, that shit got palyed out real quick.

saigon? i wont front saigon is ILL. i think joe budden is better though, saigon is not consistent at all, and he needs more work to be put out. i think joe budden and fabolous are the two most consistent on the mixtape scene.

researching and quoting his rhymes? all i did was listen to the first five tracks on Mood Muzik volume one. Underground influence? Joe Budden is the most highly anticipated artists and has a huge fanbase. Dumbout Season Vol. 1 and Mood Muzik vol. 2 are currently the two most anticipated mixtapes. Joe Budden maintains a relationship with his fans unparrelled with any artist - he posts on boxden, joebudden.com, and allhiphop.com.

Download these tracks - 3 Sides to a Story, So Long Goodbye, Calm Down, NBA freestyle and then get back at me. For now I'll leave you with this Joe Budden lyric.

i'm stuck between platinum and flop, underground and mainstream
conscious, backpack, scratch that, same thing
i'm somewhere between the real and the fakeness
the red pill, blue pill, real or the Matrix
and I can't take this
if the game needs a new look, i'm between the tummy-tuck and the facelift
and everything I say in these pages
is straight from the heart, nah magazines, y'all can't rate this
'cause I'll be debatin', it's a bit outrageous
like it's an ear virus, and the shits contagious
i'm downloadin' like, niggas actually play this ?!??
maybe I'm buggin' out, maybe I'm on the spaceship

Don't put niggas in the same sync as me
I mean metaphors, punch lines, deep shit
Club shit, girl shit, World shit
They don't use the ink like me
Niggas don't even think like me !!

* the three quotes i quoted were all from the track "Dumb Out".

[vash1530]

ive never even considered joe budden in my top 25
it sounds like hes rhymin its not sayin anything.

[MrElsewhere]

Technique should definitely be up there, but i don't think jason listens to that much underground.

I say Nas.

[EddieV]

I would have to say Eminem. His raps get pretty deep. I don't really see though how 50 Cent is a good rapper.

[vash1530]

^no one does

[fameONE]

^no one does

Prior to the shooting, but after his stabbing, 50 released an independent album called Power of the Dollar. It was tight. Buuuuut, fame kicked his ass and he now releases songs like Candy Shop.

Mike Jones is another one. But Mike Jones sold out so bad that he's an embarrassment to Houston.

[vash1530]

the only compliment i can give 50 is he can be funny but its pretty rare.

[yo pusha]

50 is a great businessman who knows how to market himself and sell records. he can also make catchy hooks over the most complex beats. but he still is horrible lyrically but i dont think the people who buy his album really care.

[*nightmare4taki*]

^ I still got that window shopper in my head.

Ja you's a window shopper
Mad at me, I think I know why
Jada you's a window shopper
In the jewelery store, looking at shit you can't buy
Joe you's a window shopper
In the dealership, trying get a test drive
Nas you's a window shopper
Mad as f*ck when you see me ride by
