Joe Budden Halfway House

This is a gift for my man Gonzo, who has been in Joe Budden's corner since '07 died. Budden has been in musical purgatory ever since his rivalry with Sean Carter (AKA Jay-Z AKA Then-Def Jam exec.). While Budden's been waiting for his chance to shine, he's been giving what every fan loves, free music. At heart, we are all cheap. It doesn't matter how much money you've got in your wallet.

After his Mood Muzic 3 dropped, critics (Read: Gonzo) fell in love with the man who was once only known for having a track appear in Madden 04. Mood Muzic, which everyone could easily get for free, sold 10,000 copies despite not having a label backing or promotion.

If you are a Mood Muzic maniac, this will excite you. Here is his newest Budden album, Halfway House. It serves as a prequel to Padded Room, which will not be found here when it drops in 09. That is an album you're going to have to support. In the meantime, enjoy free Budden.

Tracklist:
01. Intro
02. On My Grind
03. Overkill (Feat. Heartbreak)
04. Check Me Out
05. Sidetracked
06. Slaughterhouse (Feat. Joell Ortiz, Nino Bless, Crooked I & Royce Da 5′9″)
07. Under The Sun
08. The Soul
09. Anything Goes
10. Go To Hell
11. Just To Be Different
12. Touch & Go

Shout out to OnSmash for this one. keep the love coming.

"Dude, i know for a fact you don't like to party!"

A couple of weeks back, Gonzo posted his thoughts on Joe Budden's Mood Muzic 3. Well, if you like Joe Budden and producing music, here's your chance to get some free equipment and become internationally famous (well, at least you're friends will start to care about you).





And if you happen to be in the Northeast,

"Even Though I Am Legand, I Can Say Will Smith's The Best Rapper Alive"

Ever since Jay-Z came out with the Black Album, all people have been ranting about was who is the best rapper alive. First it was Jay-z singing Dirt Off Your Shoulder and at the end going "the best rapper alive", then Wayne picked it up and ran with it for a good year or two before Jay-Z came out with American Gangster and proclaimed that he was once again king. But i think i found the real deal, the true greatest rapper alive, and he goes by the name Joe Budden.

Yep, joey. The same dude who Pumped It Up a couple years back just came out with his highly anticcipated new mixtape Mood Muzik 3. I have been waiting for a second coming to his first lack luster album self-titled Joe Budden which came out in 2003, but due to recent feuds with Jay-Z his 2nd album The Growth, is yet to be realeased.

Although in todays hip-hop its hard to find a good mixtape/album let alone a great mixtape/album. Mood Muzik 3 is a classic. It is by far one of the best mixtapes i have ever heard in my life. It is all i've been listining two since i got my copy. Joe's flow is on point in every song, his lyrics are dynamic, and his punchlines are sensational. Its refreshing, because other rappers (like lil' wayne) punchlines are mediocre and give you a slight laugh, Joe's punchlines make you rewind the track because you are in awe he said something that crazy. My favorite was on his diss to Jay-Z on the track 'Talk To Em' where he says "when the new generation thinks about Jordan, all the remember is when Iverson cross him"

And even if anyone were to start dissing Joe or go in a battle with him, no one can take him down. Not lil wayne, not Jay-z, not anybody. Joe is a unique rapper who does something that i have never heard before and he dictates your mood. If Joe is happy your happy, if he is telling a story you want every detail, if he is struggeling you feel like these are your problems.

There is no one better in the game right now. Normally i would put up a link for Mood Muzik 3, but i think we all need to support Joe budden and actually buy this one. it's that on-top music!!!
