i dont think joe budden has a song better then this to be honest
Nggas talkin bout ‘not even a debate’. When we say revisionist history and fighting bias, this is what we mean….
XXL Presents…The 15 Greatest Mixtape Series - XXL
On the heals of Dedication 4's release, XXL ranks the 15 best mixtape series...www.xxlmag.com
In 2012, in REAL time, when mixtapes were still being dropped, XXL still had credibility, when Budden was still active, before love and hip hop, before the pod, before the Drake beef, before Budden became a mainstream entity, Mood Muzik was picked as the best mixtape series of all time. No fluff no politics no dikkriding just an objective hip hop take
XXL had very little credibility in 2012. People had been stopped reading magazines by thenThis coulda closed the thread if it was posted early.
In real fukking time, he was being ranked over Wayne. And it wasn't like he had any sway or favoritism coming his way at any point in his career, any love/respect he got, he gritted it out for it.
While I'm glad he's found a lane I hate Podcast Joe because nikkas it moves an already underrated rap career further to the background for surface level shyt.
Mixtape Budden is a top 10 mixtape artist IMO for sure
I wouldn't put his mixtape catalog above some of the others he mentioned tho
Its hard for anyone to compare their mixtape catalog to someone like Wayne who has like 30 of em and 75-80% of that many are memorable
Some of these replies are surprising to me tho... SOHH and early Coli days, ppl would argue Budden was the best at mixtapes

This is called critical acclaim which is cool. But if you are claiming in "real time" that Budden's mixtapes were getting the same amount of love as Wayne and 50 you are a liar or smoking crack
I didn’t even look at the list but apparently I didn’t need to lol. This must’ve been put together by a Slaughterhouse fanthat list is horrible. how you got royce on that list but not re-up? how is banks on the list but not g-unit, and how in the actual fukk are cam'ron and vado on the list but not dipset?? there is no criteria that can justify those omissions. the fact they tried to justify 'em anyway just proves this is a trash ass list lol.

This is a mixtape conversation bruh. You keep making popularity based arguments. If you was there you wouldn’t be making these types of arguments. Any casual, cac, or youngin can just blurt out the same ol ’Dedication and G Unit!’
The mixtape scene was much bigger than those 2 popular artists so idk what you mean ‘love’. Budden was highly acclaimed in real time. There was no rating board or governing in the early 2000s—-nor would it be easy to find now—-so a 2012 list is the best we gon do. To discredit the whole thing bc it doesn’t align with YOUR view is rather comical.
But again, Currensy was a monster. Sean Price. Krit. Below the heavens. I look at any ngga who can only appreciate Wayne and G Unit funny
you have to factor in other factors like popularity when everyone on the list was highly acclaimed, and the goal is to determine who was the best.
Now that I think about it, once you zoom out to cultural impact, Budden has much more lasting and defining footprints. Or check that, good footprints
Budden has a legitimate claim to 3 things: rappers talking mental health, vulnerability in raps or ‘emo’ rap, and most importantly utlizing the internet to go straight to consumer. Budden was mocked for having “internet fans”, which sounds CRAZY to say now.
Wayne’s legacy when you zoom out is the birth of the druggie simp rapper AND overall culture. The transition from dealer to addict. From pimp to simp. We went from ‘you’re only a customer’ to ‘I feel like dying’ We went from Nore giving Superhead her name and nggas runnin thru chicks and being above them, to Wayne wifing Superhead and ‘I don’t care if you was a prostitute….’
Even Wayne’s greatest ‘creation’, Drake, is actually a direct offspring of Budden.
None of this shyt joe budden pioneered or aided.
Bcc is who made online a thing.
Ll cool j made emo. Which was made a draw by slug based on race.
Joe budden is just a zygote killer and made music about. Being a bytch made zygote killer.
Mad a girl would. Ot grt an abortion. All because he failed to wear a condom.
Dude is a deflection artist and a bytchmade goofie.
Joe budden is a troll joke by defjam to jayz. Before jayz pulled a double backdoor coup on lyor and Dame. To be head of rocafella
Joe budden is not a pioneer. Nor is Joe budden a draw.
I made sure of that.
Only people who like Joe budden are goofies.
Period.
fukk any and everything about Joe budden.
Ol underskilled bytch made label plant trash rapper.
