Joe Budden Claims He Has A Better Mixtape Catalog Than Lil Wayne & 50 Cent

[Street Knowledge]

Joe Budden has made the bold claim that he has a better mixtape catalog than both Lil Wayne and 50 Cent.

In a clip from a forthcoming episode of The Joe Budden Podcast that hit X (formerly Twitter) on Monday (October 7), the former Slaughterhouse rapper claimed that his mixtape discography — most prominent among which are the volumes of his criticallyacclaimedMood Muzik series — has stood the test of time.

The question was posed and co-hosts began debating the merits between Weezy and Fif, and Joe said again and again that he had the best collection of tapes.

When asked who else would be included, he said: “It’s me, it’s 50, it’s Fab[olous], it’s Kiss [Jadakiss], it’s Wayne.”

Joe either needs to get back in the booth or shut the fukk up in regard to making such claims

Functioning drug addict and failed rapper makes bold and false claim, more on news at 11

back on that dust I see

I guess this is the part where we pretend Budden wasn’t nice bc he’s unlikeable

Whether you agree is irrelevant. But if you don’t understand that it’s a conversation, you’re a casual. Budden is stampeded as having one of best mixtape series of all time …plus other great tapes

[Ironman]

Joe, Lox, Wayne, 50/G-Unit, and Dipset

 

[Long Live The Kane]

No.

If this were even remotely true he wouldn’t have had to retire from rap to become a professional gossiper.

 

[J-MIL]

Not even close

 

[Standing on business]

He does, Power of the dollar was fire but anyone who heard and digested Mood Muzik 2 will agree its the best mixtape.

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.

It might be true by virtue of him only having like 6 tapes and not having the late career dud tapes that 50 and Wayne had but the peaks from 50 and Wayne are soooo much higher that they still ahead of Budden.

 

[Marc Spector]

I would say Wayne and 50 have more numerous hit mixtapes but mood muzik 2 is up there as arguably one of the top 20 mixtapes of all time

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

People will comment without even listening to Mood Muzik

Mood Muzik series was great to me.
I don't know him or any artist personally to effect my life.
I can separate music from the person.
