Where does Joe Budden rank all time for you?
- Thread starter tybo
- Start date
Far from a Wayne fan but he's going to go down as a Top MC because of the impact and influence his music has had on this contemporary generation. A lot of these ADHD riddled crack babies look at him as their GOAT.

Never really understood the whole "classic album" or "mixtape vs. album" thing either.
All a mixtape or an album is, is a collection of songs. Why does it really matter which medium it was presented to the listener?
When you're listening to a song, does the actual song sound any better if it's a loose track, a mixtape track, or an album cut?
shyt, a lot of Budden's best work isn't even on any projects. OLS 1-2, So Long Goodbye, Where Did It Go Wrong, 4 Walls, Outcast, Broken Wings Freestyle, Hello Expectations, etc.
Don't really see how that diminishes their value. Do they just not exist because they're not on a project?

these threads are always dumb no matter the artist because it inevitably turns into "dogg, you're really putting ___________ over Rapper X?! You're wrong"
I mean, what do you want someone to do? It's a matter of personal preference. Do you want someone to sit down and have a chat with their ear drums like "listen here ears, dude from the Coli said I'm required to like Rapper A's music more than Rapper B's music, you gotta cut that shyt out"

unfortunately. aside from that one song, i cant recall any track of his that is universally praised.
Personal Preference is personal preference. But if you try to look at things somewhat objectively (of course we are always limited by our own subjectivity) you take into things like classic songs/albums. Impact. Budden lacks in all those categories.
50 Cent, Kanye West, Fabolous, Tragedy Khadafi, Royce the 5'9, Fat Joe, Tech N9ne, Inspectah Deck, Lupe Fiasco...the list goes on and on. Why is Joe Budden more worthy to be on a Top 50 list over these individuals?
