In a recent interview with hiphopgame.com, Joe Budden promises fans that his sophmore album, The Growth will be released this year, no if's and's or but's. He says that the head of his label, you may know him as The Greatest Rapper Alive, has not contributed a verse to the album and has had virtually no creative input on the project as of yet.
Joey also talks about being the default representative of New Jersey and how important it was for him to do his New Jerz Shit freestyle, which if you haven't heard, you can download here.
But Jumpoff isn't the only one who's feeling that Busta instrumental though. Your favorite rappers favorite rapper, Talib Kweli, and Brooklyn's own Jean Grae, who signed to Kweli's Blacksmith lable earlier this year, couldn't help themselves and jumped on the beat for a remake of Busta's barely month old New York Shit. Everybody knows Talib is the truth, but I'll be damned if Jean Grae isn't the best female rapper in NY, hands down. How could you not love a chick with a tattoo on her neck and a four finger ring?

According to statements made by DJ Whoo Kid on his radio show last week, Prodigy of Mobb Deep was arrested and briefly detained on an outstanding warrant. Whoo Kid says that V.I.P. was snatched up by those ever present hip hop police we've been hearing so much about lately. More info on that as it becomes available.
Go here to download the audio of Whoo Kid discussing the arrest.
VIP & Joey arent that good & don't deserve to be in the headlines.
Fuck the Hip hop cops.
Kweli is the truth.(Waiting on that next Black Star album though)
P watch your back.
Jean Grae is the best female emcee out right now.
Yeah that Joe Buddens alblum is gonna be crazy...he gonna have to tour to reintroduce himself like he said...
Kweli with J. Grae I know thats crazy...and Im glad to see that Kweli finally got the label situation together so he can put out the kind of music he wants to...
It's bout time ya'll talked bout JEAN GRAE on here.
I don't even need to mention that she is the best female mc, and not just out NY (although i just did anyway,) she sicker than most dudes spittin right now! Anyone who fucks with some real lyrisism need to check her out.
P.S. - If Prodigy had an outstanding warrant, it ain't had to be no hip-hop police - he shouldn't be stupid. How you gonna be in the entertainment industry with outstanding warrants?!?
Get your lawyer game up - should'a had them handle that shit, especialy with that G-Unit blood money (get it?)
I'm from Joe's hometown JERSEY CITY STAND UPP!!!! so i have no choice but support him since he's trying to put jerz on the mapp.....but i just hope he stays focused and dont get all wrapped up in the hype..cause after pump it up came out he got all happy and then like a mili-second he was gone....so joe stay focused....WE love u BRO!!

Texass...thats whats up is stripper...lol...weak ni99a!!
New York Stand Up!" Yeah, lets do it! I hear the battle cries. But sorry to burst your bubble (Busta!), but youre not just going to make a NYC record and expect everything to be all better. You have to dig down to the root of the problem. When exactly did we lose it? Why arent we doing records together? Why is everyone so angry? One school of thought is that it all links back to one man: 50 Cent.
Jadakiss is threatening to hit Puff with fridges over "If You Think Im Jiggy" publishing. Fat Joe "allegedly" got dropped from his label and started flying pigeons in cell phone commercials. Ja Rule is doing barmitzahs and co-starring on Celebrity Cooking shows. Nas is signing with Jay-Z, the man who had his babymother in a 4 figure leg lock. Styles Ps album is so pushed back it couldnt even get Luped at this point. AZ became the first artist ever to brick on KOCH, where 100,000 gets you the keys to the label. DJ Green Lantern, the most talented mixtape DJ of my generation, gig was cut short due to executive decisions. Irv paid a few million just so Shyne wouldnt be his bunkie. And its all the REAL head of Interscopes fault.
Think about it. 50 Cent went ballistic over a song that was trying to EMPOWER New York City, shutting down 3 gotham rappers career in the process. Why? He says they were associating themselves with Ja, but its really because they werent down with The Unit. Get Down Or Lay Down, G-Unit style.
The rap Napoleon Bonaparte turned his G-Unit roster into a NYC lovers dream, on paper at least. Hes convinced Mobb Deep to stop dissing Hova and start dissing Jesus while praising the their own pagan god, Curtis "Billion Dollar Budget" Jackson. He signed M.O.P. And proceeded to do what every label has ever done for them, sit them on the shelf. And just when you thought Action Jackson was going to leave a few New Yorkers alone, he made Ma$e trade his church congregation in for a mini-mansion. Then like his new found mentor, Murda started dissing all the New Yorkers 50 forgot - The Diplomats, Fabolous and Loon.
Maybe Fif was right when he likened himself to a New York version George W. Bush, saying "No one likes me, but I run it!" Matter of fact, hes never been more right. Anyone who collaborates with Murder Inc becomes his weapons of mass destruction. His oil is record sales and fans he gains by destroying them. He has a Vice President in Yayo who, like **** Chaney, is the center of a inexplicable murder case where no one is being charged. Hes serving his term right after one of the most likable leaders in recent history, Shawn Corey Clinton. They both took offense to Kanyes Katrina tirade. And Condeleeza is in the same boat as Olivia, the token ***** nobody likes in his cabinet.
Now every new rapper is following half a dollars lead. Theyre all trying to "flood the mixtapes" with half assed freestyles only changing two words from the original version. Random rapper from Northern Staten Island is dissing random rapper from Southern Staten Island on SMACK. Theres been 6 million renditions of "How To Rob", from the good (Mainos "Rumors") to the bad (Big Stys record, forgot the name) to the bizarre (Jins "**** Jay-Z"). Long story short, NYC isnt going to come back unless someone overthrows the man in power. But dont get it twisted, 50 isnt going to bow out gracefully, he rules with an iron fist! Just ask the guy with the butterfly L.A. tattoo on his face. In the meantime, keep the hope alive youngins. Bring New York back! But just know that the road to the throne goes through 50.
Texas...the last Justin Timberlake album went platinum...I guess you're feeling/pumpin' that shit down in the south....YEEEEAHHHH!!! Cry me a River...WHAAAAT! OKAAAAAY!!!
Since when did the evaluation of hip hop rely on how many records people sold? If Pac never sold, would he be considered garbage? What about BIG? Measure the music by skills, not by who has the biggest marketing budget or who appeals to 12-year olds like Shakeem...
I've seen plenty of garbage albums go platinum, and I've seen some classic albums go wood...what would you rather listen to?
Yo whoever is posting as Shakeem, That's called plagerism. This same article word for word is on the XXL.com website. You should attribute it as such. There's nothing wrong with sharing info. but i seems like you trying to act like you wrote this.
Shakeem ....choke on a dick, if you already haven't ni99a! please!
Shakeem,
You've been licking 50's ass for so long, you're whole head's up his fuckin' asshole...
Five-Oh don't run New York...he can't even walk through New York without the boys in blue...
shakeem youve never been more right
who cares ...its a dickriding article anyway, I can't believe you actually read the original article and remembered that....why don't you just read a Lindsey Lohan article too? the fuc???
shakeem youve never been more right

another pecker blower...in fact... a pecker blower's pecker blower,lmmao
I honestly feel like the momentum is switching back over to this side anyway...There's only so many wack ass "Snappers" hip hop can take...Niggas is so busy trying to ride the South wave that they putting out a bunch of garbage instead quality music...Real Niggas like TI, Scarface, Luda, Wayne and Jeezy will remain. But the rest of these niggas will be forgot about by this time next year. Too much talent from the east is about to be let loose on the industry for the south to hold on to the crown. Busta, Kiss, Joe Budden, Papoose, Cassidy, Beans even 50. MOBB DEEP was just the first shot fired. Who does the south have that can carry the torch thru this summer? I hope it aint Young Joc
Kweli = the king of NY
biggie who?
jay who?
nas what?
Oh, that's what I thought..

"Q.B. DROP YOU OF AT THAT BRIDGE" - PEE
Oh my god I can't belive I'm about to say this but Shakeem is right. Or whoever editorial Shakeem stole that from. It's the truth. NY artists need to band together. They need to record and tour together. Say what you want about the South but for the most part Southern MC's support each other.
BTW....I've been reading all of this hardcore shit from these nigga's (used correctly) from Cincinnatti are all of a sudden SUPER HARD because they killed another BLACK MAN. When will you dumb nigga's fuckin learn???? We are killin EACH OTHER, you FUCKIN ASS!!! Get ya mind right and learn about The Masterplan. try doing a search for blogs by Meccadon, Black Friday, shakeem (when he's not going w/ a heavy G-Unit Battle), chevy g. hustle, naj, dana in jersey, dat Dude....black people with sense. Stop cyber thuggin, lame!
Oh yeah and Anonymous go slap yourself. That had to be the most ignorant post I've read all day. Cincinnati is hard they kill, rob, and rape people blah blah blah. Since when does robbing and killing people make you hard? Sounds to me like ya'll niggas need a hug.

Def Jam does not care about true Hip Hop, if they did, Joe Buddens, Redman and Mef's new shit would be burnin' up the radio airwaves, contrary 2 what some of your opinions may be about Ghostface, U have 2 admit that Fishscale is a fucking CLASSIC!
Niggas talkin' bout the Wu fell off, they only lettin' these popcorn love ass MCs do they thing B4 they return 2 shut shit down.
Jean Grae is the truth when it comes 2 female MCs, 2 bad people would rather cee her 1/2 naked gettin' her eagle on.

SURE TO BE CLASSIC
That Dude 4 President
