This album is fukking ridiculous
Off first listen... this sounds dated.

It's weird, I've been bumping couple of other albums while waiting for this to drop. And while I'm listening to those albums, they have those certain "deep" songs, which feel like such when I'm listening to those albums.
But all those damn near seem shallow when listening to this... there's levels to this shyt. There's so-called "introspective artists" and then there is Budden.
my exact thoughtsRegular Joe has returned......
We all wanted Joey to go through them harsh realities so we could get some fire ass music (he even addresses it)....
but he's past all that now. Dude literally sounds like he's emotionally burned out. He's way past that hurt and angry Joey we saw on Mood Muzik 2.
Whereas before it sounded like he would be fighting the shyt, it sounds like he wearing that shyt like a coat now.
I really don't like throwing around race comparisons, but if Joey was looking like Cage or Slug or Yela, he'd be filling up arenas and there'd be millions of folks holding up lighters and cell phones and crying at his shows and heralding him as the most emotionally honest and therapeutic MC of all time...
cause he really do be speaking from a place we all be at, but we really can't just..... let the shyt show. Cause it makes us look weak.
He earned my money with this one. Album of the Year.
Ok album. I see the usual Budden stans gathered en masse in here hyping this ok product. Good job, ya'll.
lol... Bro coming from you... That's saying alot... If @Billy Ocean is calling a Joe album Ok.. then we all know it's a masterpiece...
I fvck wit ya Wally, but naw. Album is just average. But that's what you expect from Joe Budden. Average or trash sh!t. But I'm gonna stay outta here and let the Budden stans continue to tea bag him in here, undisturbed. Peace.
Fore pop had to get that knee surgery
Guess that effected his bladder
So when Jackie called me nothin' else really mattered
Was scared, sounded frantic, i ain't want no parts of that
Said the ambulance came, might be a heart attack
Was leavin' work nearly cryin' on the phone
I'm in rush hour traffic, just seen you dyin' alone
Look, I just pictured all the places that we never went
All the texts that were never sent
All the words we never spoke
Time we never shared, rewind so we can repair
Such an inspiration, all the holes that you dug through
Then you got released, God was watchin' above you
Buddens man...
Ok album. I see the usual Budden stans gathered en masse in here hyping this ok product. Good job, ya'll.
