Joe Budden’s second against Hollow. He had some crazy lines that round. The easy Staples joint, the Blanca bar, Sleepy Hollow, breaking down Hollow’s career, 84 draft/Dream bar. He had a lot in that round. His delivery just was bad.
I was a the battle and felt the same
His delivery was super trash to me, had me wondering if he was serious but he doesn’t rap like that on songs
bars were definitely there

Budden is a weird as hell artist. There are times where i genuinely thinks he's top 10 ever then there are times where i think he's absolutely horrible. And most of the times these thoughts come from the same project.

But as far as his delivery there's a couple tracks where he is going off.

Maybe it's a regional thing, I thought Joe's delivery has been dope since the 1st time I heard him. It's
Beat selection, hooks, mixing... those are the reasons I don't like a lot of his music

I feel most lyricist have this problem

Fortunately, he has such a large volume of music that that he does have a lot of songs with good beats/hooks but believe me I get it.

I thought his best attributes were Transparency (conveying emotions to songs clearly)/Storytelling/Writing? I didnt think his bars were the best but his pen was good
I never gave a sliver of a fukk about his life or story so :francis: his average writing never made me care either, always left me like "so what nikka"
