LOL @ him trying to act like it wasn't a diss.
Maybe it wasn't a diss song but those were diss lines.
a) Basically..the way Joe acts on his podcast/youtube/online, is how he acts in person and behind closed doors..so he rubs minions/music execs with egos and political power the wrong way, as their little insecure egos get hurt. Jay is also in this mix.
b) Wanted to release a Mood Muzik type of album as his second album...label wanted him to make mainstream songs for women (a few of his singles/leaks from what would have been his second album at def jam are online). So he had to force himself off the label and go independent..to release the music he wanted.......hence Mood Muzik is born.
I love Joe Budden fans narratives of shyt like this, it always cracks me up. It's always like 'label execs can't handle how real he is' 'he's such an awesome a$$hole that is talented but was held back'
Let me list all of the shyt that was pushed for his first album as if he was some fukking industry pariah....now these were all put together by the label to push him...the guy they hated since jump apparently....
- Was a player in a Def Jam Video game
-Single placement in Madden 03
-2 Fast 2 Furious Soundtrack placement
-You Got Served movie placement
-Mean girls movie placement
-Cradle 2 The Grave placement
- Coast 2 coast street teams heavy in New York and Los Angeles
- Just Blaze lead singles
- Payola up the ass for pump it up and focus.
He flopped. Didn't even hit gold. Barely outsold Juelz Santana first week who didn't have a 10th of the push. That's why they pushed him away. He didn't get black balled. They just didn't want to deal with a guy who doesn't sell records. As if he's the only a$$hole in the music industry
