“I’m grown, I ain’t watching the throne, I’m sabotaging it” – Joe Budden, Shady 2.0 Freestyle 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards

Prolific tweeter and part time super emcee, Joe Budden released a new track via his favorite online medium today. Complete with references to Joe Paterno’s death, Drake and Common’s beef, Love and Hip-Hop and the San Francisco 49ers’ unfortunate kick returner, Budden’s “No Church In The Wild” is obviously fresh from the studio.

I still vividly remember when Slaughterhouse came on to Green Lantern’s radio show and for 20 minutes proceeded to completely annihilate Hov’s “D.O.A.” record until there was nothing left but the occasional dust particle here and there. Truth be told, I still go back and play that jawn on occasion. And only two years later Funkmaster Flex got to host his own demolition site and give the four-headed monster the keys to the wrecking ball and bulldozer. Read the rest of this entry »

For years, it’s always been “Joe Budden Featuring Emanny.” This time around Regular Joe decided to play wingman on Emanny’s self-analyzing track, “I Messed Up.” With such a title, one would think Budden would have more than enough topics to lace his crooning partner in crime with.

Disappointed in Bad Meets Evil’s latest endeavor? Well, Royce fans, you’re in luck. Nickel Nine is going for five–as in his fifth album, 5 Cigs and 5x platinum–with Success Is Certain. While Bruno Mars is a no-show this go around, there’s still a couple of Wu-heads, a mad drummer and the melanin-challenged rhyme maniacs of Shady Records to fill the slots.

My, how things change. About this time two years ago, the then-recently-formed four-headed monster known as Slaughterhouse was going on a rampage, destroying anything they touched. One victim they kept in-house was Joey and Joell’s candid collabo from Ortiz’ Free Agent mixtape, “Move On,” which was reworked to add in the additional two butchers. Read the rest of this entry »

In ninth grade, I clocked a chick with an open-handed slap. A youth group I was with went on a field trip to a Braves game and, to make a longer story short, she poured a soda on me. What started out as teenage horseplay ended with a poor, reflex reaction on my part. Needless to say, the three hour bus ride back from Georgia to Tennessee was a long one filled with me exasperatingly pleading my case, ribbing from peers and subsequent apologies.

No ex-girlfriends were harmed in the making of this track.

On May 17, Joe Budden will release Mood Muzik 4.5: The Worst Is Yet To Come. How does this differ from MM4, you ask? Seven brand new songs allowing an even more in-depth trip into the erratic personality of a man who never met a video vixen he couldn’t smash, break up with and make a song about.

“For anything to work, y’all, trust is a must, And I learned, gotta let a mutt be with a mutt, So I dead that b*tch and though the shit’s been over, Some situations don’t end without closure.”

Regular Joe delivers what’s been tabbed as the final piece in his “Ordinary Love Sh*t” musical saga. For six minutes, Budden goes for broke, finding yet another female – Esther Baxter playing perpetrator here – to unload on and baring it all in detailed fashion. Tahiry and fat asses, “Percocet and muscle relaxers in a napkins,” Derrick Ward and abortions? Another failed video chick experiment? How many times can you keep falling for the same sh*t, Joe? I’ll go on record to say he wouldn’t have this problem if he quit picking out his lovers from his BlackMenDigital subscription.

Still, I pray he doesn’t. Otherwise we would get these pain and misery rhymes, from rap’s Edgar Allen Poe.
