You don't. I'm pretty sure the Wu coud still bring it. Stop over rating Budden's arse.tell em.Everybody has thier own opinions, but theres too much fan boys in here. Half the people on this thread love Joe Buddens and think he's the best rapper alive, and the other half still think Wu-Tang is still dropping classics like it was the mid-late 90's. I guess I'm more of a nuetral opinion, cuz while I've never been the biggest Joe Budden fan, I used to be into Wu-Tang alot, but I'll be the first to admit that they've fallen off since thier peak many years ago. I'm looking foward to hear what Slaughterhouse album sounds like, and I'm also waiting on the Cuban Links 2 album. I see it like this.. Joe Budden is prob the most over-rated underground rapper. IMO he's the worst dude on Slaughterhouse. Every song I've heard from them, he's had either the worst verse or the 2nd worse verse. He's the one who started all this, by running his mouth.. Yeah, people may say it was taken outta context, but he still called out another rapper out by name. And Method man responded. Maybe he didn't quite understand what Joey was tryna say, but regardless, nobody can tell another man how he should respond when being called out in public. Now this thing maybe spiraling outta control. I'm thinking when its all said and done there will be a few good disses on each side, theres already been one (I like the Inspectah Deck track). But nothing worthy enough be considered a classic. Because ultimately, this beef won't mean anything in hip hop history. Maybe it woulda worked out for Budden if Wu was still relevant, but overall only true fan bases are even checking for this.People keep talking about how Wu fell off and how they haven't been relevent, bringing up sales and all that.. But Joe Budden has never been relevant. If Wu-Tang and most of their solo artists never sell another copy, or even release an album.. They can still make more money than Budden can the rest of his career. Wu-Tang has a crazy fan base.. Somebody said that if u go to a Wu show, u'll see a bunch of hip hop heads, u'll see rock/ heavy metal dudes, skaters whatever.. they can just go on tour and run thru their classics and sell out big shows. Joe Buddens, has some clever lines and pretty good lyrics but He'll never be a big name in rap. From what I've seen, only people who are just into rap, especially underground rap can get into Joey. He's only had one hit that the average hip hop fan can identify. Pump it up, the same song which he gets clowned on today for. His fans probably hate that song, I'm sure he hates it too, kinda like Eminem hates, Hi My name is. I dunno, its something about his delivery or voice that makes me not interested, I've seen people who love his shit, post lyrics, and I'll read em.. And I'll be like oh shit, this is dope.. Then when I go listen to the actual song, It sounds pretty boring. Even if he had the best lyrics in the game, he hasn't learned how to make it great songs that will be considered classics. Cuz at the end of the day, he's in the music game. I used to be one of those guys that were just all about lyrics.. but as I got older, I realized in music its just as important what u say, as how u say it. Does it give u certain emotion or feeling, does it make u move? dance, get mad, whatever. As I started listening to other genres of music, I realized how weak rap has gotten. Theres not enough flow and voice and emotion anymore. Alotta hip hop heads argue all day, who has the best lyrics.. They'll throw out names like Nas, Imortal Technique, Jay-z, Joe Budden, Talib ... etc.. The truth is, if ur just into lyrics theres plenty of Spoken Word Poets out there that will shit on any of these rappers. So while Joe probably has better lyrics, he loses to Method Man, cuz Method Man got him on flow and voice. And 10 years from now, Method Man will still be remembered for his classic songs like The 1st Wu Album, All I need w/ Mary J. Blige and his feature on Biggies first album.. And Joe Budden will probably be underground rapper that never made it, like Canibus or AZ.HEY YOU PRETTY MUCH SUMMED IT UP FOR EVERYONE..........PROPSYup +1, especially that last comparison about people will still know Meth, but Budden will be more of an AZ or Canibus

lmao at Joe Budden making too much money to beat somebody up! ahaha.. What money? The only thing he's got going right now is his lil internet videos and the only reason anybody watches that is cuz of his girl. BTW, I've never seen a dude so sprung on his own girl like that before. But anyways..Joey didn't go looking for anybody, like somebody said, he's just trying to save face cuz the crowd was yelling fuck Joe Buddens at a concert he was at And if he does have a diss song, its definately a bad idea to rap over the Triumph beat, cuz thats the one where Deck went off.. So people are automatically gonna compare how they rocked the same beat, and if Joey doesn't kill it better than Deck, it'll be a loss

Quote from: KaiserSoze on July 13, 2009, 04:37:35 AMBiggie got at Wu and it never stopped him selling more than any other rap album ever, so I don't see why Budden would worry about his sales.Biggie hardly went at the Wu, one line in kick in the door in retaliation to summit that was said on Rae's album plus biggie admitted he was a Wu fan and method man was the only guest on Ready to Die, plus didnt mase get k'od by Ghostface? and also on a side note did Ghost lob 50 cent down some stairs or is that some more internet BS

It'll be interesting to see how it breaks down and affects the inner dynamics of Slaughterhouse. It appears Royce has Budden's back as he's been the most vocal about supporting Budden but I wonder if Joell or Crooked would back him.

Does it give u certain emotion or feeling, does it make u move? dance, get mad, whatever. As I started listening to other genres of music, I realized how weak rap has gotten. Theres not enough flow and voice and emotion anymore. Alotta hip hop heads argue all day, who has the best lyrics.. They'll throw out names like Nas, Imortal Technique, Jay-z, Joe Budden, Talib ... etc.. The truth is, if ur just into lyrics theres plenty of Spoken Word Poets out there that will shit on any of these rappers. So while Joe probably has better lyrics, he loses to Method Man, cuz Method Man got him on flow and voice. And 10 years from now, Method Man will still be remembered for his classic songs like The 1st Wu Album, All I need w/ Mary J. Blige and his feature on Biggies first album.. And Joe Budden will probably be underground rapper that never made it, like Canibus or AZ.much posting props,....even heads who disagree (shit, even i didnt agree wit everything posted) gotta respect the logic and rational in your post....well thought out and put, +1honestly, i respect your opinon in respecting his opinon & views, but i read about 2 sentences of what he said & realized it wasn't going anywhere.he showed he is clearly anti-Joe Budden by saying he was "the most overrated" & "the worst in Slaughterhouse", say it's "his opinon", but no force on earth will convince me anything he has to say isn't biased to begin with.but i continued to go on reading to make sure i wasn't missing something that you guys are propping him for & i realized, nope he didn't say anything that hasn't already been said lol.although he did bring up the point "Joe Budden isn't relevant", which doesn't mean shit because Big L > 98% of any other rappers & i can gaurentee you that the "average" hip-hop fan couldn't tell me who he was; the name might ring bells, but they couldn't name you more than 5 songs.so obviously your relativness doesn't reflect your skill in the slightest & same goes for sales; i don't know if he was commenting on my points, but i never said anything about "being relative", i said Wu hasn't been dropping classics for 10 years; but also like i said, it's not Wu, it's Deck.he said Joe Budden gives no emotion into his music, easily the deepest rapper in hip hop & you're saying he has no emotion. then he wrapped it up by saying "he loses to Method Man" when Meth hasn't even been in the discussion for a good month; but let's bring him back & the only reason he thinks Meth is better is because he isn't a Joe Budden fan to being with!so maybe i should start writing 500 word essays on my feelings towards things & you guys will just be like "real talk +1". i appreciate the fact Nuk23 took the time out to write that, but i can't just be like "you're right, because you took your time on it", if you guys actually read it, you would see that it's mostly biased, hating on Joe Budden, brings up points already examined & you guys are being fooled, although maybe you're not because most of you just shit on Joe Budden anyway. finally, i do give you props because you didn't really show any "Pro-Wu-Tang" views, but you clearly showed a dislike for Budden & his music five or six times throughout.*lets karma drop from die heart Wu fans, for having my own opinon* so you discard his entire post, simply because he said Joe Budden is the worst rapper in SH? you are taking dickriding to a new level He didn't once hate on Joe Budden, just brings up some valid points, but your fanboy-ism makes it impossible for you to see
Then u try to say a point about how I brought up losing to Meth, when he hasn't been in it for a month.. What does that matter? If u didn't understand what I said, I'll try to clear it up for you. I said in 10 years Meth will still be remembered for the classic records he's made. While most likely Joe Budden will be one of the many forgoten names. Thats it! It doesn't matter if Meth hasn't been in it for a month or not. I was just putting this in its place in hip hop history. I'm sure this means something to all the Die Hard Budden fans, but it really don't mean shit to the Wu fans. And once again, I wouldn't classify myself as either of those.I mean, Joe beefed w/ Game and Jay-Z and probably a bunch of other people, but nothing memorable has come out. IMO, this is a just another beef that won't mean anything later.
