Posts about Joe Budden

Video director John Columbo has released this behind the scenes look at the shooting of the video for Slaughterhouse’s “Microphone.”

Here’s a behind the scenes look at this years BET Hip-Hop Ciphers.

Here we go! Joe Budden just threw some heavy shots at Hova! Here we go!

Joe Budden’s breakup slowed his JoeBuddenTV updates for a little bit, but he’s back now, this time with Nicki Minaj and Wale.

This is what started Joe Budden throwing shots at Jay-Z, who finally responded on Blueprint 3, and then…. Joe did nothing.

Slaughterhouse is currently on the KOD tour with Tech N9ne. Here’s footage from the tour with Royce Da 5′9″ givin’ plugs and the collabs on his new album Street Hop due out tomorrow, October 20th. Nickle is also shown riding on this weird ass what looks like a Razor Scooter and almost falls. Joe Budden discusses the story behind “Pump It Up”. You also see a small cameo from Tech N9ne cookin’ some breakfast.

Slaughterhouse talks about the art of the cipher.

DJ Ekin sits down with Raekwon to talk about the Wu Tang Clan, the new album, the industry, Michael Jackson, and of course the Joe Budden situation.

3/4 of Slaughterhouse dropped by B96 and Peter Parker had them each write a verse in 10 minutes and drop them one after the other.

First up, Royce Da 5′9″. Crooked I and Joell Ortiz after the jump.

MTV has released their full Top 10 Hottest MCs list after running a long standing poll. The thing is though the fan poll apparently didn’t count for diddly squat because the final top 10 don’t reflect the fan choices.

I mean at one point, Joe Budden was leading the pack and although I stopped checking Im sure he ended up in the top 10 somewhere, if not the top 5. Not to mention the fact that Eminem isn’t in there at all and he won the fan poll, and as disappointing as Relapse was to me personally, I’m still pretty sure that he is a better MC than Kanye West or Gucci Mane, who landed at the 4 and 6 spots. Or Rick Ross for that matter.

And how in the hell is Drake Top 3? He doesn’t even have an album out yet. I’m not knocking the guy’s talent and have high hopes for his music and inclusion on such lists, in the future, but how can anyone be the 3rd hottest MC in the game without having proven themselves on any real level? What albums has he dropped? What battles has he overcome, lyrically or otherwise?

And finally, Jay-Z took out the number 1 spot. Ok, I can see how he had the momentum going this year with The Blueprint 3, but the album itself was a disappointment and no where near his best work. Yes I said it, and let me further the controversy by saying that I’m not a 100% sure Jigga at any point in his career deserved the top crown when matched against his peers in that era, let alone now. But I guess that just goes to show the sad state of Hip-Hop this year.

No scratch that, we’ve had some great albums and music this year. I guess what this really goes to show is the sad state of MTV.

Here is the full list:

Royce Da 5′9″ seems to be the cat in the industry right now to interview. Nickle discusses his new album Street Hop due out October 20th, writing for Diddy, Joe Budden, Shady Records, Slaughterhouse and the beef with Wu-Tang.

Joe Budden leaves the female drama behind to drop a JoeBuddenTV episode featuring DJ Premier debating everything from Mayweather and boxing to Rakim, Hip-Hop and schooling young rappers like Bow Wow and Soulja Boy.

When “Forever” dropped, it seemed to quickly be one of the most talked about singles of the year. As all of the emcees went through their verses, Eminem clearly murdered the track. Hands down, in my eyes anyway.

With the video for “Forever”, when it was Eminem’s turn to spit on the track, you could see Slaughterhouse standing behind him dressed in all black. Apparently this was a way to let the fans know that Slaughterhouse and Slim Shady are in negotiations.

The rumors have been flying and running rampant with the possibility of Slaughterhouse signing with Shady Records. But nothing has been confirmed by either crew.

I have to agree with my dude Caesar. It was nice seeing Royce The 5′9′” standing behind Em in the video.

Here it is, yo. Drake featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem “Forever” official video! On the real, the video is just as hot as the song.

Caesar’s note: Didn’t expect to see Slaughterhouse getting a cameo in this, and even then, maybe during Drake’s verse seeing as him and Joe Budden are friends, but definitely not during Em’s verse. It’s good to see him and Royce on good terms again.

Raekwon sat down with Thisis50.com and discusses his favorite track he’s recorded, what he has learned from being in the industry and if the Joe Budden issue is dead and gone.

He also speaks on a possible new Wu-Tang album.
