Joe Budden- The Album Before the Album

While many have since dismissed Joe Buddens as a real priority over at Def Jam, many others who follow the underground mixtape circuit know the tremendous un tapped potential that Budden possesses. Too many heads in Jersey already know that as far as mixtapes went Budden's Mood Music part 2 was relatively untouchable in terms of how far ahead of the pack he was with his lyricism and story telling on MM3. Budden has since developed into a true urban legend; scarcely appearing in public, only droppng a new track or blog entry once in a blue moon and maintaining still, his crown as the best on the east coast. While I liken him to being the east coast version of lil' Wayne, I think most will agree that the two share many of the same qualities at this moment including a die hard loyal fan base and perhaps some over hyped mixtapes. Either way you look at it Budden is a definite problem for those that underestimate him. The labels that turned their backs on him early on watched as he crafted radio friendly club bangas like "Pump It Up". Many of those who thought he was through as a true lyricist and thought he coulden't duplicate the oral prowess that he displayed on his early tapes were left with their jaws on the floor as the nation rejoiced in Mood Music 2. Budden always seems to bounce back and turnm the tables, as he walks toward a new album and most likely many new mixtapes before he drops, we are left to wonder whether or not if Budden will ever truly blow, or just remain a solid underground threat.
