It’s that time folks. A little earlier than the October 28th date. That’s good right? I know how all you impatient fucks get when something is even minutes late. Royce proved that with Bar Exam 2. Anyways… since Padded Room was pushed back, Joey went in and released a new tape for the masses. Get ready. And I highly advise you actually COP this mixtape you cheap shits. Or the internet soldiers will come after you. Plus you get some bonus cuts.

tape is fireeeee
It leaked chicaGo… everyone got it.
Hes the greatest
The bonus tracks are also out shake.
one of the most underrated & dopest MC’s out now. Joeeeeeeeeey.
Still buy it people support the artist.
WHY DOES SLAUGHTERHOUSE SOUND LIKE SHIT???
i know that teck… but im not gonna put up everything. joe deserves the support.
where the bonus cuts at
I only got the bonus’s cause I bought it =]
Buy it. I know I will. Nuff Respect.
Yeah definitely buy this
word up. glad to get this!!!
this is right under mm2 in the JB rank!~
Shit the second track was enough for me to buy this.. INTERNET SOLIDERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
I’d buy it but the Amalgam site is shit. The sound quality on Slaughterhouse is terrible compared to the one I downloaded when it leaked.
This definatly makes up for the bullshit that went on the release date of slaughter house ahaha. Joey’s that dude.
yeah, guys support this…it is all original, no rapping over others beats…he recorded this in two weeks.
Y’all dirty for posting this up.Taking money out the mans pockets. There’s a reason he’s selling it on AD. Not for y’all to give it away for free
im surprised this is on here for download…
shake i know everyone has it but u should just provide direct link to amalgam or sumthin and take the leak down…
real talk jayiz
It’s the internet, not that serious Jerz.
*sees ravinous horde of buddenheads devouring halfway house like a dead antelope* *approaches slowly to avoid scaring the lil fellers*
CRIKEY!!
I tried to buy it. Amalgam charged me quick and I got no download. Aint that a bitch?
^ then just download this version atleast you paid for it.
^ I did but the sound quality is terrible. This version is half the size of the retail version
^^^ the same shit happened to me A.Digital suck
holly shit
joey is really the best rhymer ever
just to be different, go to hell, better me, sidetracked
got damn!!
jayisratedx … or whatever the hell your name reads, hop off. and dont ever try and demand shit on this site. we’re not dirty for anything. the people who are gonna cop will do so regardless.
Damn “On my grind” sounded better on the jumpoff video… that’s the one I was really waiting for..
thanks for posting though
That’s what I’m saying shake.. people gonna get their fix one way or another =/
I’m guessing Amalgan put the unauthorized duplication label on the back cover so you can give it away for free.
My bad A.sizzle.
my purchase went through perfectly fine.
The file is only bigger cause of the bonus’ and the touch go video.
Quality is also better.
I don’t trust no one
so stubborn I can dream a thousand paths
wake up and walk an old one
and I’ll follow wherever it take me
instead of wherever the crew go like Tre Lee
do know if u can buy the tape with covers and actual cd?? i just prefer the physical copy over a “digital download” lol
DAMN SHAKE GOOD LOOKS.NOW I GOT SOMETHING TO LISTEN TO FOR MONTHS…LOL.
STILL GONNA BUY IT.
JOEY!!
I WANT PADDED ROOM…NOW!!!
Wat I previously said..
These tracks are all very boring… Joe is a C list rapper at best, he doesnt do anything refreshing or new. I listened to each track twice and only the beat grew on me, he sounds like everyother 100 block “metaphor” rappers. (Sounds alot like Serius Jones just not as nice, Jones would eat him alive for an appetizer)
His oscar the grouch voice isnt cutting it for me either.. before you hate hear me out
I knew a guy who’s world was Joe Budden, he thought he was the greatester rapper alive. After hanging out with me and me opening him up to “real hip hop” and other genres he will actually tell you he’s embarresed he used to like Joe as much as he does.. Oh well monkey see, monkey do… I cant hate man if you like it bump it! IMO he’s cool to listen to but he isnt anything more than a C list rapper (metaphors are kinda corny and easily predicted)
PS. Does anybody know or can recommend some ill Joe Buddens tracks because I cant find any, I tried his 2 old m.m. mixtapes but that didnt work, I really liked the Portishead MM3 mash up alot though!
this is awesome i love it
@ Shake… im not demanding anything dude so dont be tellin me to hop off. i get alot of updates from artists i like through this site so i just made a suggestion cause no artist likes to see his stuff leaked and if i can help avoid tension between a news source and an artist why not? i figured maybe it was overlooked since you dont usually post material thats leaked and being sold in a store.
i wasnt even coming at you like that so untuck your panties cause i wasnt even the one that called u dirty. obviously i was just surprised to see an album leak being posted on this site and clearly im not the only one that was surprised.
SMH…everybody out in kill kill kill mode nobody can have a discussion or hear a suggestion without going off …
Budden isn’t even a rapper anymore. He’s like an otherworldly rapping superentity prowling the hip-hop afterlife.
@Unxpekted DMVs Disciple
bro i dont know what you listen to man.Turn up those speakers when you listen to budden, really listen.
unxpekted hates on budden everytime something drops. he uses these comments as his personal blog
@jayisratedx
dude just drop it, its gonna be all over the internet anyway, the real fans will cop it like myself to be real im not even gonna download this ima wait till i can pay for it on amalgam digital also this is a mixtape NOT A ALBUM most of these tracks were leaked (slaughter house,under the sun, touch and go,sidetracked ect)
this man be watchin heroes?
yeah unxpekted does say some shit on every single budden post….
like just out of curiosity what are some artists you do like cuz evertime i see u comment u hatin
IMO
Anything Goes > Under The Sun > Sidetracked > Check Me Out > The Soul > Just To Be Different > Go To Hell > Overkill > Slaughterhouse > Touch & Go
but that doesnt even say much for how duuurrrty dis tape iz considering some of these tracks are hotter than dudes like Lil’ Waynes whole albums.
I just don’t see how he can outdo this with Padded Room. Mood Musik 3 he was loafin’. But on the production shitin particular its just NICE. maybe if dude gets on some “10 Minutes” or “walk With Me Shit”. Its like every tracks a mini-”All Of Me”
Thanks for the download shake…and all the insults?
goddamn, joey killed it again.
is this shit gonna be in stores? i’m only buying if i can get a hard copy.
Kinda dope…. Joe cool. I ain’t cheap but I am broke so I wont be paying for this… when that album drops though Joey might get my money for an actual CD.
nah, u can only get a hard copy if u originally ordered Padded Room be4 it got switched to a FEB 2009 release…this is a digital only album, sorta like a prequel to P.R……only 9 bucks though for 14 songs and a video, not bad…plus the quality is WAY better.
lol. i found d version wit d bonuses and cdqs. i kno im a theif, but ‘better me’ is worth it.
and check it out sounds alot better on it
check me* out
on a unrelated topic……smh @ kobe, A-rod, tony hawk, and mike phelps doing a rock band commercial ala some old tom cruise movie. shit was funny.
Im glad to see you respect or understand where im coming from, I definitly agree Budden is better than Wayne (Wayne is horrible) but people just put him on this crazy pedastool when like I said he’s a c list rapper, but I remember when people used to try and defend Wayne and say he is the GOAT when I knew he was complete garbage so I guess this will fade eventually.. Then again someone may try and tell you Hanson is the most talented group ever so your gonna have those fans…
Truthfully I understand this person is an artist and I have no attachment, alot of people listen to albums and become attached to artists and feel the need to defend them for more so the fact they like them not so much based on talent
I know these people arent my friends or arent affiliated so my viewpoint is completely unbiased I judge artists from an equal standpoint looking at a pure talent stand point and like I said he is a subpar C list rapper at best
Ill list some:
in my mind there just arent too many dudes better than budden though. his lyrics have a certain sincerity, if you know what i mean. its not just a matter of sounding nice on the beat but this dude, you can tell he’s not just rapping. every line is like an incision.
Plus, I find his metaphors brilliant. especially withc clowns like cassidy and wayne claimin as much. budden just makes it look easy. Seriously. None of the songs are bangers, but he’s one of the few rappers who’s lyrics, as opposed to the’hot’ beat really stick with me.
That’s why to the hardcore Budden fans, other rappers just don’t compare. He’s in a different genre nearly.
I like NaS, Jay-Z, Saigon and Royce (recently not so much. Scary Movie> Eyething on Bar Exam 2), Lupe, Blu, Drake too but Joey just has a special spot.
Hot shit!! I liked this mixtape

how can you have a bad day on the relese day for charles hamilton and joey????
that overkill track is nasty!!
Buy the fucking album and support the nigga yall.. I mean c’mon, you got all the Mood muzik’s for free, so support the brother, and the amalgam version is higher quality also. Plus, he doing joints with BINK now, him, royce, crooked and Ortiz banging out joints(which’ll probably be free) support the brother.
@ joey stan
Well your name says it all but you say “especially withc clowns like cassidy and wayne”
If you think hip hop is about as deep as Wayne & Cassidy you need to start re-evaluating what hip hop is and what your listening to once you open your ears as my friend did you will realize Budden is a c list rapper BUT I like him regardless he is an artist and I respect his grind I just know his place
