How the hell did Joe Budden not blow?

[Omerta]

The easy answer which then had several consequences is he simply wasn't willing to play the game.

 

[Black Thunder]

becauses he's trash and lets video hos use him for fame and shyt

not to mention he's trash

ol emo ass nikka needs to slit his wrist and do rap a favor

 

[Greenhornet]

Budden is the default player in the video game of rap.

Budden got more substance in his music then 90% of the rap game.

His album was

 

[iamduval]

He was complaining about his record sells and marketing as soon as his album dropped. I remember he did like 90k first week and he was bytching in some mag i read. Just felt too entitled.

Yeah, the work ethic isnt/wasnt the problem.....but when your making 100s of tracks with Soundclick (at best) amateur producers....well then you get albums/mixtapes that are full of poorly mixed hits or misses.

If someone like Alchemist, Just Blaze, JUSTICE League, etc.....took him, and oversaw/exec-produced any of his projects he would be a lot further along with his career

Ditto. Dude was rapping over the most basic, cookie-cutter, average, subpar ass beats.

Because he's a generic, wishy washy, corny ass rapper who never switches up his flow and is overrated by geeks who think rhyming in multi-syllables makes you a great lyricist. And let's not forget that he exposed his true colors through corny video blogs and putting his business out on the internet before he ever had a chance.

That nygga doing good, solid fan base, signed with em, can put out his own shyt whenever.. Some nyggas that "blew" nh aint around from 2003....

 

[JMurder]

nikkas in here sayin shyt that got me like

Focus, Pump It Up and Fire was wack?
He didn't have a mainstream single?
We got 1 nikka saying "you can't have 13 Pump It Up's" and another nikka saying he was "expecting a bunch of Pump It Up's" but was surprised
His debut album was trash? It might be dated now, but trash? chill

I be feelin like I'm in bizzaro world in here. nikkas not even acknowledging just how big Pump It Up was ....that shyt was EEEEVVVEERRRYYYWWHHHEEEEEERREEEEE! shyt was so big that you could put it next to Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer songs as recognizable rap songs in the mainstream.
