I guess Prodigy's gonna have to blog about this one.

And even though Joe's roots are heavy in Queens, he calls himself the "King of New Jersey." WOW. The king of Jersey? Not sure of how that sounds. But for now I'll say it sounds kind of corny. No one's doing anything in Jersey. How do you claim a throne that doesn't exist?

"I dont get how Prodigy gonna acknowledge me/ The n*gga about as big as an apostrophe/... Real talk I can't front on your old sh*t, now you just old as SH*T!!!!! / ... Never mind me, worry about your Medicaid/ ...50 signs the bum only cuz where he was from/ Put a stamp on the n*gga and still nobody feels him/ ...Your sound is old, not even worth a download"

Knowing the way Joe can spit, I know he could have slaughtered Prodigy way worse than this. But this is still considered "going in on a n*gga" status. He went in so bad that I kind of feel bad for Ballerina P. Mainly because there's no way P's skills are still sharp enough to strike back with enough force for the sting to be felt. Kind of like what Papoose did to Fat Joanna. However, it's f*cked up to talk about a dude's physical condition. 2Pac once said something in reference to Prodigy's illness, which was funny but f*cked up: "Don't one of you n*ggas got sickle cell or somethin?!! You f*ckin with me n*gga you f*ck around and have a seizure or a heart attack. You better back the f*ck up, 'fore you get smacked the f*ck up!"

But anyways, f*ck Deaf Jam. Amalgam Digital put Joey on the roster, and now according to the Amalgam website he's set to drop his album October 28th, even though in the above video he says something about September 16th.

How does it take FIVE YEARS to release your sophomore album? Although I must say that the Mood Muzik series was highly successful and gave Joey a loyal fanbase that probably wouldn't have been established if he had received a second release on IDJ. So in this I'd say Deaf Jam shelving Joey was a blessing in disguise. He would have been too focused on being commercial, and Mood Muzik 2 and 3 probably would have never been as hot, if dropped at all.

IDK wer u from but all of nyc gives respect 2 jersey hudson county(jersey city, union city,west new york, hoboken ) is like another boro so u 2 say No one's doing anything in Jersey is pretty ignorant...

There is something to be said about persistence - even it's just that the persistent person is stupid.

Here is the challenge: Name 5 songs out of the Mood Muzik series that you will know the words to verbatim 8 years from now. Now out of those 5 songs name at least 2 that you enjoy so much that you would listen to 20 years from now?

My point exactly. Budden is okay. He is smarter than most rappers, but that's not saying much at all. Half of these negros don't even have GEDs. Does Budden's intelligence come across in his music? No. Does his impatience and arrogance come across? Yes.

I don't have to pay $15.99 for CD of impatience or arrogance. I can call up an old friend and chop it up for the hour it takes to listen to Budden's CD and have the same experience. (But it would be with an arrogant person that HAS a college degree and a really nice job - arguably enough to warrant a little arrogance, no?)

Budden = Clown
Internet Record Labels = Circus

What are you talking about DUN? What you just said can be said about almost every artist in the game right now. Mood Muzik is better than half of these other cds out in the stores. Listen to artist's underground cds or mixtapes & they're a lot better then the actual commercial cds in stores. To tell you the truth, I think Budden could take anyone in a freestyle battle other then Baltimore Los who beat Cassidy in a freestyle.

Last post was directed at The Sponsor. Not DUN.

Im from Brooklyn and we don't respect anything from outside the borough. New Jersey is not what's up right now. New Jersey has not been popping since Redman and Treach was doing it. I bought Joe Budden's first album but he only had like 3 good songs.

DUN... are u serious..? i dont mean to be rude or anything but to me it sounds like u never herd a mood muzik CD...

mood muzik 2 and 3 are in forms of a regular album.. not only would i remember and like the songs 10 years from now i would most likely still remember the verses.. i still bump MM2 in whip.. a good album doesnt die... Reasonable doubt, ready to die, illmatic, u going to always remember those songs the lyrics to those albums even with a year or 2 of not listening to it.. saying that theres no intelligence to what joe spit is pretty much letting me know you dont get half of what he was saying.. you must be a lil boosie or a shawty lo fan.. maybe even jim jones.. see if u can remember any of there one hits in NEXT year..

This dude reckless is a joke everytime he comments he just has to put a rapper he doesn't like down, like we dont have enough people putting down artists already. no wonder u dont have a real job u dont no how to comment without judging someone. leave that up to the fans son. and at the end of the day who the hell is joe budden. Prodigy and fat Joe would murder this dude! budden never had an impact on hip hop EVER!

Joe Budden is Garbage!!!

If U Bump Joe Budden in your whip U Truly are Lame. These cats is talkin bout mixtapes. mood musik what a joke. hell on earth/The Infamous/Murda Muzik/m the list goes on.... real classics!

ay pordigue 4 life i'm a port azorean to be exact and ain't embarrassed to bump joey b....i would however be embarrassed to bump sickle cell-P tho...fake ass g's

hey solrac this game is bout money fame and the mark u put on hip hop. none of these things that budden has everything that prodigy has u dumb f...! real hip hop fans dont play joe budden get it through your head.

Joey iz under rated... in the past 4 months u cnt name 1 rapper whose been more cosistant

1 more thing

WHOSE BALTIMORE LOS???
& HOW U KNO HE BEAT CASSIDY N A BATTLE??? IF U HAV FOOTAGE GIVE ME DA WEBSITE, I WANNA SEE

Prediction: Budden will be working at a Wal-Mart in Cherry Hill by the winter.

Prediction: This "sophomore" album never comes out.

Prediction: No one will remember to ask what happened.

even though i clown joe budden's emo ass, i can't cosign this shit. he sonned prodigy.

For you to say that "No one's doing anything in Jersey. How do you claim a throne that doesn't exist", means that you must be a hater and get your rocks off every time someone says Brooklyn. Granted, you dont hear a bunch of dumasses on the mixtapes from Jersey claiming about how much money they got or how they are killing everyone in they path. But, you do have dudes with deals doing it; Joe Buddens, Sam Scarfo and Akon. And Ransom is smashin the streets right now. While them Brooklyn dudes is showing off, Jigga is coming to Jersey to pick up talent. A little Bias in that article my dude

And o yea Portugal4lyfe, LOS is a problem. Cassidy did say that and this is when LOS was young in the game. Check him at datpiff

i never sed anything boutt MM or joe budden i was talken about how he sed jersey aint duin ne thing....im from jersey city i love joe budden ive been listening to him ever since he came out he was dat dude from da greenville section and i was hearing him all way from baldwin ave by journal square

We Over SHADOWED by the BIG APPLE.. plus like pazzy sed..ne 1 from jerzy thas hot is goin to nyc tryen to make it or big or bein scouted from nyc

Who gives a shit about this guy? He came out with two hot singles some years ago and that's that. Fucking wack. Right now Papoose and Cassidy are the only relative newcomers worth anything.
