Budden
Budden aint loose a rap beef and lyrically is a miracle. Kiss sounds better though, only song long I can take emotional dust head stories by Joe.

The things is on his best days Budden could do what Kiss does.

Kiss could never do what Budden does.

And don't cite "Feel Me " it sounded mid and forced which only proves my point.

Two very different kinds of rappers.

If you want consistent top tier pure bars...Kiss.

If you want more range, better content, artist expression and song writing...Budden.

Agree with all, but feel me and still feel me are classics

Vixens, Mascara's, Mary-Ann's
Used to have voices in my head, that's cool
'Cause the boy still here well fed, that's true
Mean that since truth's all that I had, gotta carry that
When nothin' you propose or alter it, gotta marry that
How we interpret that merge is all relative
I stand behind every word, like we all relatives
Less made men, over a decade in
I'm from the days when lil' nikkas got they chest caved in (talk about it)
See I left home and sleepin' in parks was like a meltin' pot
Ain't DM an ex, it was dark baby and hell is hot
Black MPV was parked, used to yell it ock
Drive by, circle the block, check if he fell or not
Full of smokers in my Polo pull-over
The day a nikka' scared to be dolo and pulled over
'Cause they gats go ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Since I remember it all, I'm wantin' a flashback
Rest in peace Grandpa, I see him tilting his flask back
Our times kinda' the same, it's tough to grasp that
No code of honor and they conduct
Alarmin' because seein' grievin' mommas somber even Dalai Lama
Wish music was my escape
I was still naive, it was beautiful when this maze crucial to how we behaved
Just like concussion is brutal the way we slave
They don't tutor you to what it'll do to you at this stage, listen!
Fact sharing, I'm seein' no matter the scenes
'tween a rock and a heart places are bad pairin'
I'm paranoid, plenty buy a couple feet and shyt
Gettin' money is easy, the struggle's keepin' it
To all the hustlers in the world, whatever your muse is
Hustlin' music, or hustlin' excuses, live!
Some think too small, they can't vision it
Don't even bother hittin' my line, I'm transitionin'


yeah I can't see how nikkas saying it ain't close

Meanwhile nggas went a while a whole decade with no relevant or memorable Kiss music. In that time Budden dropped classic mixtapes

joe has never dropped anything relevant or memorable in the last decade

if anything kiss been relevant off features and mentions. real rap.

joe relevant from gossip and ducks battles and bodied his own rap group

you cant lose rap beefs that you duck

meanwhile kiss battled 50 in his prime and in the public domain

joe battled 50 in his mind
Hahahahahaha that’s funny though. Joe said he was about to enter some building and 50 came out with 7-8 dudes about to fukk up Joe. 5 said Clue/Envy was keeping him fukking Joe up.

excuses is what joe is known best for

if it was anyone else id believe it but its joe and hes a known liar so ill chalk it to he was shook

to be fair joe has a bunch of industry fans who made me listen to his music

he is definitely a lyricist no question

Joe Budden is and was overrated as fukk in his era, he was NEVER considered miles above a Fab or a Banks or even a rapper closer to his weight class like Ransom, so wtf he got for Jada? He is a great writer but he really in his heart of hearts feels like he WASNT the weak link in all them Slaughterhouse albums and that he was more important to MC culture than Method Man :what:

I always thought people considered Budden more of a realists more than a lyricists. I was kinda shocked when he got with the 4 Horsemen and he praised as a top lyricists.
