Budden: Laffy Taffy was the number-one song on the Billboard. I couldn't believe that.
There's been articles written about how it's not fair to hate on that song. How do you feel about that statement?
Budden: I don't have any ill will towards Down 4 Life. It's just a prime example of what we're talking about. A label signed these guys, a label pushed theses guys, the guys made the song, and the label made them a hit. Sometimes people put shyt out, and it's so stupid that you enjoy it. It's almost like Soul Plane and all the Scary Movies. They put it out and you're not taking it seriously. You enjoy it because it's so stupid. I can't front, when I watched the Laffy Taffy video, I laughed my ass off. These brothers are making complete fools of themselves. I've never met them, so I don't know how they are in real life. If they are like that in real life, more power to them. I think the guy with his leg in the air is the funniest thing in the world. People are enjoying it. The same week that Remy Martin came out and sold 30,000 records, Dem Franchize Boyz came out and sold 100,000 records. What the fukk is going on in hip-hop? Here you have a bytch from New York who is thorough. When I look at her, I see hip-hop. She is so fukking hood. Shout out to Remy, that's my girl. When I look at her, I see hip-hop. Her album didn't do as well as someone else who sold a dance. The irony of it is the Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It, is like Lean Back with a snap. They take a dance and add something to it and they sell way more records with that. I don't understand that.
