Whenever "Pump it up" dropped obviously....
He got a nice following due to the Mood Music series.....
But 2016 is looking to be pretty big for him, maybe not commercially because he just isn't that type of artist.

2003, dude had his songs on NBA Live and other video games. not to mention 2011 when Slaughterhouse signed to Shady, dude was on XXL Magazine cover.
but he's been on his grind independently and was still making some of the best music of his career.

2002-2003. He was Def Jam answer to 50 Cent
Never
He got hyped by rap nerds for MM2 & MM3 but they are some of the worst mixed and produced mixtapes in rap history
Not to mention the terrible beats Joey terrible voice and WOAT hooks
But bu bu bars tho
A better question is who has failed as bad as Joe Budden has with the Push that Budden received

This is what I'm getting at. He had the whole building behind him
Video games, he was on live, etc and still flopped and failed
The had the nerve to be mad at Def Jam when they invested so much in his career and he didn't nothing but smoke up his career

The year leading up to Pump It Ups success and the release of his debut lp. ..he was one of the bigger names in the east coast mixtape scene (which actually meant something back then) and was supposed to be the next star that emerged from it after 50 exploded. ..which were too lofty of expectations cause he flopped and that was pretty much the end of him mattering to the rap populace. ..then he made the transition to pandering to internet rap smarks, posing as an underground hero...that peaked during the mm2-3 days

you don't get it do you? he didn't want to compromise his art like the usual artist. that's why he took a hiatus after his debut album. plus they weren't backing him like you said they were.

Hottest in 2003-04 then 05-present underground
That's why he made terrible of attempts at radio hits when he went independant right?
I'm talking WOAT attempts at hit records
That beat sounds like a knockoff of...
Budden has been trying to matter to mainstream Hiphop since he signed his def jam deal. When he flagrantly failed he decided to market him self as anti hero beefing with labels all the why posturing for a role on LHH or any other Vh1 show he could get on

That's the thing, 50 pretty much marketed himself, as himself which is how he even got the deal, they just reinforced it.
Def Jam trying to make Joe the answer to that just because they were both big on the mixtape scene was a misstep. The biggest thing I remember about that first release was people being surprised by what was on the album in comparison to the singles.
The debut got good reviews but the biggest thing I remember about that first release was people being surprised by what was on the album in comparison to the singles.
Even before they got into it Royce had a line on DIC talking about how his girl doesn't like his music because it's too dark and would rather listen to Joe budden...which makes no fukking sense if you actually heard the album.
