^bigger name, without question; but more kids recognize him as an actor than a rapper lol.
Cube may not be mainstream anymore but he's still way bigger than Budden.

The acting and movie/TV producing is keeping him relevant but he can still perform his music on a mainstream stage when the time comes up. Let's not confuse the fact that he's not on a major label with the idea that he's not still in the public eye on a mainstream level.

He does tv appearances talking about his albums. Budden makes vlogs that only this forum talks about. Cube started writing blogs and everyone and their mama talks about them. Cube may not be mainstream anymore but he's still way bigger than Budden.

Clearly if Cube sells more and is the bigger artist it means he's more relevant. I don't see how you can think otherwise. Also, lol @ you bringing up Pump It Up. A song from 7 years ago has little bearing on Joe Budden's relevancy today. That has been his sole "hit" and he's more of a one-hit wonder than anything. If you want to go back that far then we might as well bring up Ice Cube's whole discography: legend status.Don't get me wrong, relevancy has nothing to do with the quality of music. Soulja Boy is/was more relevant than both but I think we can admit he's complete trash. But you gotta be completely stanning to think Budden is more relevant than Ice Cube. How much did his last album sell? Exactly. End of discussion.
Budden is clearly more relevant that Ice Cube; Ice Cube is not relevant at all as a rapper, unless your 30 years old, angry at the state of Hip Hop, stuck in the past & bank on Ice Cube to drop an album that will "change the game".
