Spotted at Miss Info’s crib…
Just skip to the 23minute mark….for the crux of Joe’s realization, or at least his statement that he may have spoken about Meth in bad taste (while he is adamant that he feels he was being truthful). Budden says that he and Meth are not “peers,” but that he only spoke on Meth because his real peers are trash, lol.
People need to take note of this interview (especially the Wu “affiliates”) in that Joe Budden has a point. The Dwight Howards x Bill Russel example at 5:50 is perfect. Dre also transcribed another prime quote.
“I have a big problem with people and their comprehension skills. I was very clear in the video. No where did I say I should be ranked higher than Method Man on a best rapper ever list.. So let’s stop saying I said it, because I didn’t say it.” – 4:30
Now back to my personal thoughts… Method Man is dope! One of my favorites. But if it actually got down to him going against Joe Budden on wax, he’d take an L. Point blank period. UDPATE: If you wanna hear the entire conversation, I upped it over at the plantation.
Hip Hop

i just dont get why of all the people on the list he had to go at Method Man. And no he is falling back on what he was saying, cause he realized it was dumb
At least meth writes his own shit. Joey used 2 jack shit from people on his forums. still listen 2 joey tho
MoeRoc has a Point too & if Joe can challenge Meth then MoeRoc has every right to challenge Joe’s Mic. And to be real MoeRoc has Bars & Im sure Joe Respects him but doesnt want it. MoeRoc has that “new artist” hunger & Joe can get his Head Chopped off if he’s not careful. Maybe not Meth but Roc has that Raw Rap Shit that Joe is thirst for. Joe Apologized & Joe LOST!
^^the beginning of your statement makes no sense. vibe put method man against joe budden on the list. that is where this all came from. moeroc had nothing to do with this and is using this quarrel with meth and joe to get his name out there. stupid.
Actually that’s wrong, Vibe put 1. Rakim vs. 32. Joe Budden on the list, 9. Method Man vs. 24 C.L. Smooth. The rankings is where it all came from.
Too many cats catching feelings in hip-hop these days *smh*
Who’s the dude who sounds like a girl? Is it really Nino Bless?
^^yes. that’s nino bless
Yo. Joey likes to talk sideways. End of story. If he thinks he’s better than Meth so be it. Don’t be shy and come back and try to twist your words to make you look some sort of deep thinker. Every time I heard dude in an interview, I wish that these interviewers would grow some nutz and call him out on his bullshit talks.
This nigga said Stagga Lee. DEAD.
tical would kill the emo kid
both are dope tho!
@ jb
he didn’t just go at method man. that’s something else that’s missing from this whole convo. joe did NOT single out meth, he also named Melle Mel, Bow Wow, Will Smith, MC Hammer, Too Short, Pac and a bunch of other people. he was just using Meth to illustrate his main point, but that’s what people zone in on.

Exactly as I see it. He maybe didn’t say it word for word but who is he fooling ? You insinuated that shit, dont be mad now people are eatin at you. Method Man was never a battle rapper he made music, the opposite of what you do, and he’s mad humble while Joe is kinda big headed. And he might not have singled him out but he knew what he was doing either way.
[...] really the top 60 ghetto names?! 4. Why is a vet like Method Man feeding into the hype with this Joe Budden beef?! 5. Yung Joc doing coke with DMX & Katt Williams, REALLY?! Another reason why some ppl need [...]

buddens dont cry dry your eye. GZA is the best of all time and gets no spect, but do you ever hear him cyring. as far as that goes you can say that about every member of the clan. they are never on these stupid lists and they gave birth to these mcs. your favorite rappers favorite rappers. the wu has left stains on the brain in 5 years no one will remember joe buddens. make classic shit before you cry.
got caught in the wind Joe. lol whatever happened to Charles Hamilton? I guess kid got smart and laid low for the moment to hopefully be humbled. hope Joe does too.
PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS.
Funny thing is, Budden went and singled out Freeway in the midst of clarifying his singling out of Iron Lung… Joe loves him some Joe… Does that need a pause?
Method Man would destroy Joe Buddens! Why does everyone love this dude? Pump it up was the only hit he has ever had! other than that he is a decent rapper who spends more time bullshitting making video blogs than actual music! I cant believe anyone would take Joe over Meth, its ridiculous. This list is terrible anyways, where the fuck is BIg L? how can he not be on the list and Joe Buddins is? WTF.
Joey apologizing AGAIN?! so soon?? Either someone got smacked into the foyer again or he’s gettin some real negative pub. for this one….

===============================================
Big L is on the list, might wanna check it before typing.
Meth >>>>>> this Joe Budden character
Joey is just mad at the game because there is nothing he can do about not being popular. If ppl arent feeling your music, so be it, get over it.
To tell you the truth, Meth is DEFINETLY a legend in the game, but I think if they went at it on wax, it’d be an even match. Now if Redman gets into this, it be complete murder on a plate for Joey. Word, Redman would kill Buddens like a pig in a slaughterhouse…
*applause*
Blasphemous, the same dude who thinks Asher Roth is the next biggie is saying this
Point blank period Joe Budden is trash next year no one knows his name
Pummmp pummmpp it up
Joe Buddem battlin real battle rappers = ass ate like a fagget then bones spit out
Meth said he dont battle but dude will out rhyme him for years Budden cant make 1 decent classic oh yea
Pummmppp pump it up
Joe Budden = the worst rapper that people think is actually good
For GODS SAKE can yo please stop riding for Joe on EVERY single angle……….I know you love dude( clearly) and I know he shouts t your blog but can you at least attempt to not sound so biased? You try to justify his wreckless statements/actions more than the man himself! Fact is he spoke out of line,and as usual, Joey got ahead of himself with his unchecked ego and has found himself backtracking YET AGAIN. 3 times this year, and yall STILL tryna cover for him. Give it up, everyone knows Joey is a capable lyricist but that in no way justifies his ego or his brash statements, that he always finds himself unable to back up…….Shit yall took that internet soldiers nonsense for real.
Buddens hung himself ! Go Lakers !
bow wow/freeway/plies vs joey…next thursday,same time same place
@ cannon (if you even come back to comment lol)
i know he said some shit about other rappers as well, but he went at meth the hardest? still for what reason? he then follows up with i got love for him, and 1 maybe 2 days later apologizes? yes i believe he belongs higher up in terms of rankings, but i feel meth is higher up too. thats besides the point i think everyone agrees the list is retarded…
maybe him and meth wanted to stir some shit up before the release of BO2, i’d like to believe that over anything else —that is the best reasoning i can come up with
AGAIN!!!! JOE BUDDEN STARTS ANOTHER BEEF, THAN BITCHES OUT AGAIN!!!! ALL YOU DO IS BITCH OUT OF RAP BATTLES!! STOP TALKING GREASY ABOUT OTHER ARTISTS ON FILM! THAN WHEN THEY RESPOND BACK, YOU TAKE THE HIGH ROAD AND “OOOH, I GOT LOVE FOR HIM, BLAH BLAH” THATS A STRAIGHT BITCH MOVE, SERIOUSLY. I USED TO SUPPORT YOU UNTIL YOU STARTED USING RAP BEEFS TO SEPAK INSTEAD OF YOUR LYRICS. YOU SO FUCKIN BIG ON LYRICS, WHY DON’T YOU SPIT INSTEAD OF JUST MAKING HOMO VIDEOS TALKIN GREASY ABOUT OTHER ARTISTS. AND IF YOU DO, STAND LIKE A MAN. DON’T TUCK YOUR TAIL EVERY TIME SOMEONE CALLS YOU OUT ON IT.
CHECK JOE BUDDEN BEEFS. HE COPS OUT ON HIS OWN COMMENTS EVERY FUCKING TIME, IS ANYONE ELSE SICK OF THIS SHIT?? HERE’S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD COMPREHEND, MAKE A DOPE SONG! I REALLY CAN’T NAME ONE, YOU HAVE SOME FREESTYLES, AND THATS IT. NO CERTIFIED BANGERS. UNTIL YOU HAVE THAT, STOP TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CAPABLE OF MAKING THOSE TYPE OF SONGS.
one more thing Joe Budden. I know you think that all this attention helps, but it doesn’t. its attention which calls out the bitch in you. Complaining about your rank on a FUCKIN VIBE LIST?? what do you expect from Vibe???? How is this NOT a bitch move? Than you BITCH OUT AGAIN saying the only reason you brought up Method Man is because he was “worthy” of your challenge. If you think you’re better, here’s a great idea, SHOW AND PROVE! STOP FUCKIN TALKING!
I’m sorry Joey you still don’t make sense because the Best Rapper Ever List should go by musical output and albums. Joey technically only has 1 album. As good as he is his stats don’t match up to past people like Method lower on this list.

Keep in mind though he IS BETTER than a lot but he can’t go past people on just rapping good because not all people who rap good make great music. Good interview by the way.
“Joey technically only has 1 album.”
==================================================================
He has 2 albums, “Joe Budden” & “Padded Room”. 3 IF you count “Halfway House”.
Mef will lyrically murder Joe. Are you kidding me?
I hate when people reference Joe with just Pump It Up…like thats the only song he ever had. True that was the only one that was played on tv but you can’t just go on what you see on tv. Check the whole catalog first. His Mood Musik series was sick, Halfway House was dope, and Padded Room was dope (imo). He is also in one of, if not THE best Hip Hop group ever formed…Slaughterhouse. You can’t be wack in that group.
On to the situation:
I don’t think Joe should have said Method Man but he did. That’s his opinion. We should be mad at Vibe for putting out that BULLSHIT list. They trying to do whatever just to survive in these days.
Well technically 3 albums you’re correct. I’m just saying it depends on who considers those digital albums as official albums. I’m not saying by my standards but public or mainstream opinion.

Method man has a classic album,where is joe buddens?
EVERYBODY GET OFF JOE BUDDEN’S DICK!!!!!!!1
