Emanny (Produced by Chemo)īudden just goes off. Joel Ortiz got some really wack lines here, “you light like a pita” and “I could write a heater in the middle of Alaska” are few of the lines that made me cringe.
I think they were trying to go for a Brooklyn’s Finest feel, but I don’t think Joel can compete with Joe here or ever. Take off the blazer and loosen up the tie / nigga fell in love and Superman died.Ĥ. When the New Generation Think About Jordan, All They Remember Is When Iverson Crossed ‘Em.Īre we hustling are or we grown up? / Every time I hear you you changing your tone up. Only religions I’m into, is a brand name. You more like a school boy, a facebook nigga.
Everyone wonders why Def Jam and Jay-Z didn’t beg Budden to stay, but do you really think Jay wants someone that can compete on his level? Would you if you were the king of the land? Budden has to start back at the bottom and is using his underdog status to his full advantage -even Weezy gets a few sublimes in here.īest lines: Niggas a die running like Ryan Shay. He only really devotes the last few bars to Hov, but as far as I’m concerned Hov has been de-throned. I was at a loss for words like Fiascogate.ģ. I know over your head, but your a retard.īest lines: While other artist is obsessed with more toys, like lex, coupes, beamers, benzes, they Lost Boyz. The difference is that fade out effect actually works here, because philosophically Budden’s is saying one’s problems are never over and cannot fit within a 4 minute song. This is in the same vein as Nas’s “Made You Look” and that Wu song where Ghost Face goes off and the lyrics just fade out. Budden sets the mood as man that has been beaten, broken and left for dead but has come from the dead with a sick passion to prove he is the best. This is the best intro since Hov’s Dynasty joint, I would even say it’s better. And then the beat drops and you can’t help but smile, cause this man goes in. Let’s not even get into the punchlines…now check the break down foo!Īlbum starts of with Joey checking his phone messages about his absence. To the untrained ear or the late comers, who will likely disagree with this rating, your a retard but I know you will come on board sooner or later. Sonically this album is a throw back to neck snapping beats, muddied vocals recorded in a basement and DJ On Point giving random shut outs at the most inappropriate times -it’s so Eric B & Rakim. Oh yes and there also a few jabs thrown at Hov. His subject matter remains personal touching on the shooting of his brother, his wifey, his son and the current state of rap music. This is a total departure from the current two 16 bars about nothing we are used to hearing. Budden’s spits 100 bars at the most and 32 bars at the least. Scary isn’t? MM3 is the first album to ever receive five stars from YoRapper and is the greatest piece of music of the decade. The release of MM3 forces listeners, for better or worse, to actually listen and even listen again.
In other words, rap has become so mainstream that it now caters to the lowest common denominator -the dumb asses of the world, whom incidentally make up the majority of the world. Rap music has dumbed down to a point where even the casual listener will be able to “get” every single lyric and “the point” of the song from the very first listen. You see since Fifty came out, the South, the Snap, the Soulja Boys, the way that even the most die hard rap fans listen to music has changed -for the worse. Having departed from club songs since his debut album, Joe Budden has stuck to the script by basically making rap music.
Since the Mood Muzik series began, Budden has been slowly gaining recognition from the lower levels of hip hop as one of the best song writers in hip hop today.
