When people say Joe Buddens is their top 10, this is why

[RJThaGreat]

3:50 onwards just puts the beat in the grave..
"Ride to the death,
I'll acapella the whole left side of his chest"



2:38 does it again, his delivery is so effortless and his presence on the mic is A1.. when his voice didn't sound as fuzzy as a old 1990s PC speaker.



3:50 just murks it again

What you have to also factor in is that when you're looking at the overall list you gotta consider longevity and how an artist grew with their fanbase and grew as an individual. How many different flows and situations you can spit about.. he rapped it all. What some people don't understand is people that heard dude spitting like the above became the same guy to listen to Joe about his life's struggles in a way that never been done before and birthed the Drake era now, just for the modern era's take on it.

His switch up to the mature shyt on the fly is then:







TO BE CLEAR I know we gonna get the usual H.A.M in here but just tryna get some conversation goin sheesh.

[Youseenmywork]

I'm tired of people acting Joe didn't get busy on the mic ...I've said once I'll said it again his in my top 50 easy. Good thread OP

 

[Pop123]

I've never heard nobody ever in life say Joe Budden is Top 10...aside from that list where the dude was trolling.

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

Smh. Breh barely a top 5 Jersey rapper

 

[Jermio]

His delivery and production were monotonous, and it's why he never blew up. People turned off his songs after a minute out of boredom. Hence he's just the Pump it Up guy.

 

[Assata Shakur]

Yea, Joe Budden cold

 

[Nasir The God Son]

He had “moments”. Top anything my ass though.

Over the last two years I’ve been listening to his music more . His voice is really hard to listen to at times breh .

It's crazy, people refuse to even give him a chance even after all these years. Anyone that pays attention, knows his skillset alone is with the elite. He was a top 5 rapper of the 2000s IMO off of the Mood Muzik series alone, and again in the early 2010s. If rap had a pound for pound list, he would be on there.

His catlogue is unreal. He has memorable bars in every verse I've heard and can rap with every style without sounding forced or like he's trying too hard. He has a mean hook game too.

He has club shyt, dumb shyt, deep shyt, rap shyt, emotional, everything.
