Even “Going Thru the Motions”, Joe Budden is Doper Than Most (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/18/12 | Filed under Downloads, Joe Budden

Right now Joey's new "Goin Thru the Motions" has me stuck on the "Oh yeah, he's dope" phase of the cycle. Seriously, think about it. This is essentially an average record for the Slaughterhouse alum, which means his average is better than 95% of the game. Listen and download...

2012’s Most Unintentionally Hilarious Track, Joe Budden’s “F*ck That Condom” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/04/12 | Filed under Downloads, Joe Budden, Emanny

I have to give it to Budden, the man really knows how to stir up controversy. Whether it's fucking big booty models, getting arrested over a parking ticket, fucking big booty models, coming up with controversial song titles or fucking big booty models, the Slaughterhouse alum knows how to keep people talking.

Joe Budden Helps Usher Reach “Climax” [Pause] On New Remix (Listen & Download)

If I made a list of rappers I expected to hear on a remix to Usher's new Diplo-produced radio single "Climax", Joe Budden would be somewhere near the bottom of the pack, well above YC but well below Pitbull. And yet here we are, listening to Budden (shockingly) flip Usher's ode to relationship trouble into...well...another Budden song about relationship trouble.

Slaughterhouse’s “Hammer Dance” Sadly Bereft of Dancing MC Hammer (Listen & Download)

Produced by noted Cam Newton workout DJ AraabMuzik, first official single "Hammer Dance' is a little more laid back than I'd like, but that's a nitpick complaint when we're getting bars like these. As for those bars, I'm not going to get into some "who had the best verse?" shit, but I can tell you who had the best line:

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/15/12 | Filed under Downloads, Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden

I already broke my no freestyles rule, and since Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz accidentally threw some serious fuel onto the "who's the best rapper in Slaughterhouse?" debate I just couldn't stay away. Ladies and gentlemen, it's your once-in-a-lifetime "who did 'Stay Scheming" better battle? Listen and download...

Thank You Sweet Baby Jesus, Joe Budden’s “No Church in the Wild” is Dope (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/25/12 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Joe Budden

I know I've insisted I don't post "freestyles", but I do make rare exceptions under a few criteria. One, it has nothing to do with "Rack City". Two, it's from a rapper as undeniably ill as Joe Budden. Three...nope, I think that's pretty much it. Listen and download....

Not Quite Sure What Joe Budden Was Aiming For With This “Lower” Song (Listen & Download)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 01/05/12 | Filed under Downloads, Joe Budden

Hey, can someone tell Joe Budden to stop making club songs? Seriously though I don't think anyone wants to hear any potential "Pump It Up" remakes. Joe Budden is a great rapper, but there isn't anything about "Lower" that works for me. Lyrically, Joe Budden's just mediocre on it and the production is a little on the annoying side.

Slaughterhouse’s Hot 97 Cypher is 2011’s Classic Hip-Hop (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 12/22/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Refined Picks, Freestyles, Joell Ortiz, Slaughterhouse, Joe Budden, Crooked I, Royce da 5 9

Whether it was "The Illest". unquestionably the best BET Cypher or anything else they even considered rhyming on, in many ways 2011 was the Year of Slaughterhouse. No one's bringing back that classic hip-hop "just rhyming as dopely as possible' feel than Budden, Crooked, Royce and Ortiz. The best rapper is the one who raps the best. Imagine that.

The “Hard White (Remix)” is Wack. Just Kidding, It’s F**king Dope (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/03/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Refined Picks, Downloads, T.I., Yelawolf, Remixes, Joell Ortiz, Slaughterhouse, Joe Budden, Royce da 5 9

Is there a safer bet in hip-hop right now than Slaughterhouse? That's a rhetorical question. No, there's not. There's exactly a 0.0% chance they're dropping something wack, and the same goes for Yelawolf. As for T.I.? Maybe not as dependable, but when he's on, he's fucking on. In other words, there was never any doubt that Yela's "Hard White (Remix)" would sound dope. Listen and download...
