Guest ant_7000 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 I've heard good and bad things about him. I heard his album was good lyrically and then I would hear it was boring to listen to. I do like "Pump it up" and I keep hearing how good "10 minutes" (were he raps for 10 minutes str8). But, I keep hearing how boring his album is. So im not sure if I want to get it. So anybody has the album or listen to it? Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kibagami Report post Posted June 19, 2003 I downloaded "10 Minutes" to see if it holds up to Mr. Lif's "Return of the B-Boy". It doesn't. If you like what passes for southern rap in the mainstream media, go ahead and cop the album. If not...wait for the next OutKast album to drop, I suppose. Anybody got a date for that? K.

Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Joe Budden is pretty good on some of the freestyles I've downloaded, but when I heard Pump it Up, I was very disappointed. I have a feeling his album isn't reflective of his skills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Snappy Nappy Dugout Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Not A review from... But from the people from amazon: "For those who don't know...Joe Budden has actually been out for sometime now. His story of how he got in the game is an average rap novel...just look at 50 Cent or Fabolous. What surprises me about this album is what Def Jam has invested into Joe. There was so much high expectation of Joe Budden, that Def Jam put him in their signature video game,"Def Jam Vendetta". Might not seem like much but to place him in a game with such high pioneers of the game like DMX, Method Man, and Scarface gives you an idea of what level Def Jam has placed Joe. This is the album of the summer hands down...unless 50 or Jay-Z come out with somethin' then this album can't be stopped on Sound Scan. So put down the "2 Fast 2 Furious Sndtrk" and give Joe Budden a spin over this summer. My personal favorite songs are: "Ma Ma Ma feat. 112","Pump it Up","Walk With Me","Fire feat. Busta Rhymes", "#1", and "Give Me a Reason".....I also like "10 Mins." which is really 10 minutes long. The majority of this album is produced by White Boy. Don't know who he is but he is in the end of the "Pump it Up" video on the 2nd segment on the song called "Focus". His production on "Calm Down" should show you that this white kid has some soul and Just Blaze can sit on the bench for a few minutes. Overall...One of the best albums of the summer of 2003. Finally we have a CD that can compete with 50 Cent's and possibly giving my 50 Cent CD a break before....well...it breaks!(no pun intended) With all that said get this album and enter what is "Joe Budden". Enjoy! Peace!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ripper Report post Posted June 23, 2003 I get the feeling Joe will be alot like Fabolous. I loved them on mix-tapes, but I haven't heard a thing from them in the mainstream that is up to the skills I know they have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
