Joe Budden was asked on his forum if he was on or off Def Jam after alot of speculation stemming from a comment that he is in the process of being dropped from the label. He again supports the theory replying that he is off Def Jam (posted Oct 9).
This could lead to some great oppurtunities for joey, he wasnt doing shit over at def jam.. hmmmm

he is off Def Jam:
Rapper Joe Budden is no longer signed to Def Jam Records after being heralded as one of the most promising acts in the early 2000’s.
The rapper said he was please to be leaving the lable and looked forward to next steps in his career.
"I'm just happy we were finally able to cut all ties. I feel like I have all the talent in the world, but for some reason was never able to showcase it there,” Budden told AllHipHop.com. “I'm looking forward to whatever God has in store for me, and Joe Budden fans should know - today is a beautiful day."
While Budden’s self-titled 2003 album sold over 500,000 copies, he never released another album on the label. He also scored a hit record with “Pump It Up,” which was used in an NBA Campaign. In 2005, Def jam held a listening session for Budden's second release, The Growth, but the album never materialized.
Even without a second album in the market, Budden stayed relevant by releasing several popular mixtapes via the internet and the streets, most notably Mood Muzik 1 & 2.
Def Jam president Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter recently told AllHipHop.com that he wasn’t exactly sure how to release Budden as an artist.
“If you just want to throw an album out there then next week, [fine]… [Then] you’re recording [songs] about how we didn’t support it. We could do that,” Jay-Z said. “We could do that tomorrow. I don’t think that what he wants. I don’t think that what he needs. Maybe…I don’t know.”
Urban legends and gossipers speculated that a 2003 lyrical sparring session might have led to Jay-Z, who eventually became Def Jam’s president, to harbor resentment against the younger rapper.
When Joe Budden’s “Pump It Up,” began to gain popularity in 2003, Jay-Z recorded his own version of the song, which began to get significant radio play. Shortly, Budden recorded a verse and added it on to Jay-Z’s. In each’s verse, it seemed like they were sending subtle lyrical jabs at each other.
Jay-Z insisted that notion was completely false and backed up his statement with present examples.
“That [lyrical sparring match] had never influenced my decisions. You see Beanie has a record with R. Kelly (one of his adversaries). Juelz Santana has put and album out. I’m way too big of a person to [do that]. I would never block anyone’s blessing, because of anything personal. If I didn’t want to deal with him, there’s other people there,” Jay-Z said. “I mean, why do we have a problem, I freestyled on his record. He probably made his career off of freestyling over other people’s records. If I start freestyling over other people’s records…Lord forbid.”
Joe Budden has yet to reveal his next move, but the third installment in the Mood Muzik series has been highly anticipated, especially on the internet.
Jay-Z has recently revealed his next album, American Gangster, to be released on Nov. 6. Fans can read an extensive look at the album by reading Manifest Destiny (The American Gangster Story).
