Due to the fact that he couldn’t clear a sample on this to use for The Great Escape, Budden decided to let loose of one of his favorite songs via Twitter. I wonder if/when these two are ever going to record a whole project together. I mean let’s face it… this, this and this are all dope as hell!

6 for 6 after droppin the bitch
Fuck Hoe Buddens
CRAZY! J.Cardim and budden are dope together no homo.
fuck is the point of havin a twitter if you keep yo shit private? thats like some high school female shit….
this was about tahiry on the last verse which is way it’s one of his fav joints.
budden a beast.
Joe Budden is not da best rapper, BUT HE IS BETTA THAN CAMLE FACE.. damn follow da nicca so his shit wont be private u sound like a Real female DUDE!!!!
the BRA
best rapper alivvvvvve!!!!!!!!!! inanet soldiers!!!!!!
wut ya mean 6/6 i’ve only heard 4 with these 2 together
Damn Budden keeps killing shittttt…
THE GREAT ESCAPE!!! I cnt wait.. if it’s shit that goes this hard, smh… then it’s an instant classic for real :)
Fuck Average Joe Buttons! He’s a dumb ass bitch who aint ever gonna do shit, and wont do shit. He can talk like he tough, but when it comes to dancin, this bitch like a fucking paraplegic. I’ll kill his bitch ass and thats the truth, whether we be rappin, fightin, shootin, or countin money. Fuck Slaughterhouse!
Aw dude nice benzino fuck!
“wut ya mean 6/6 i’ve only heard 4 with these 2 together”
im sure they are talking about the 6 songs joey has put out this year. not just the cardim tracks.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
One more great song by Joe!!! Great Escape is an album I’ll buy before even listenin to.
That project together would be mad dope Shake! But more than that, I want the big rappers in the game to listen to J. Cardim’s work. He’s been droping amazing productions for free, imagine what he can do if you pay him well?! :p
Seriously, I love a soundmark of his which is how he switches up the beat during a song, it’s always well done. This guy’s a genius.
joe is dope but his music always sounds very bootleg with all the back vocals in his songs and the weird sound effects he makes..if he just got on a beat and wrapped without all the yelling and weird noises his music would sound more appealing to more ppl..also every song he is echoeing and he has that stupid double back voice crap that makes his songs sound like bootleg mixtape songs even when they’re supposed to be album quality songs..escape route was the worst sounding non mixtape i think i ever heard as far as sound quality goes..bottomline is joe is dope but he has no ear for sound quality at all
re: Joe x Cardim project:
I second that motion…
they’ve done 6 together…the 4 they leaked and “no comment” and “clothes on..” off escape route
Joe….Amazing…I hope you feel these postive comments as much as we feel your music…
10/10…
Classic Work…
whoever says Buddens can’t spit is on crack. Dude went off on this shit
Yo joe and cardim are making some good music together. I understand what this other dude is saying about the sound quality but I am use to it by now lol Joe is a beast with the lyrics and I can relate to a lot of shit he talks about cause joe is a real dude before he is a rapper.
I’m not even a Joe Budden fan & I got to admit that the shit he been putting out w/ Cardim is dope. I will have to cop Great Escape if it’s this hot.
feelin this shit much respect joe…
SUPPORT REAL HIP HOP PPL!!
Real talk I got MM3, Escape Route, Padded Room is it anything else I should peep by Joe
MM1, MM2, his debut album & Halfway House & P’cola
P’Cola, MM2 is a must. arguably his best tape
Great Escape have a new release date yet? I know it was originally February but I’m pretty sure they mentioned Free Agent was dropping first.
& this is excatly why Jay-Z didnt like Budden.. cos he’s niceeeee
Dope
WOW!!! JUST WOW!!!!
fuck, this is flames!!!!!
Joey is dope. Always has been.
Y’all don’t know me
Honestly
I can’t say that I blame y’all
I don’t even really know my self………but!
Y’all prolly shouldn’t know me…….fuck it!
[Verse 1]
Last thing I’m tryna be is the good guy now/
I ain’t ever gave a fruck, why should I now?/
Like the world’s interrupting my song, wit an interlude/
Can’t y’all see I’m busy trying to balance out my chemical?/
Finishing up, what y’all ain’t even begin to do/
When your backs against the ropes it’s either him or you/
Y’all ain’t so important that my words are meant for you/
When did ey’body become so sensual/
Caught up in the he-say, she-say, blog sites/
Him and her, broke up, WorldStar, Nahright/
Dumb fans, they believe, everything that y’all write/
Found out, friends fake, couldn’t even facade right/
Pressures on, won’t fail, nigga got too much to prove/
Would’ve been, lost it, but I got too much to lose/
Say what you want about Joe, but I stood my ground/
BITCH, I picked up myself, you just put it down/
They say, “I put my whole life on display to my dismay…”/
Stop it, you’re carrying on without logic!/
Let me tell you this about Joe/
I only say what I want you to hear/
You’ll only see what I want to show/
Crushing up the Percocet, chasing the high/
Talli! I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried/
Before cash shows a downpour/
Yall just made God cry, praying for my Downfall/
[Transition]
This shit I’m talking ’bout right here
Let me tell you niggas something
You can be anything in this world that you want
Except for my Downfall
[Verse 2]
I’m a victim of society, circumstance or just feelings/
Was a nigga victimized? Or just willing?/
No blinds, no bags, just dealing/
No foundation of floor plan, just building/
Check it, nights bright, but the days dark/
Covered in tattoos, but hate art/
These eggshells I walk on are razor sharp/
Staring at the finish line, looking for a way to start/
I’ve been called everything, an extremist/
Is that a bad thing or what they really mean is…/
Anything a nigga do, a nigga mean it/
And I won’t let a person, place or thing come between it/
An opportunist is how they paint me/
But if the nigga only knock once can you blame me?/
Still I feel like my problems are great/
Shit, if I don’t never solve em’ I’m straight/
On the bright side God choose me to put a lot on my plate/
So he had to figure I wouldn’t be bothered by the wait/
I’m trying to change the pattern but it’s on loop/
Even an outcast in my own group/
What’s it mean when ey’body standing next of you/
Expects of you, ey’thing that comes wit a spectacle/
If ey’where I go, I just leave behind residue/
Tell me, trust me, I won’t think nothing less of you/
[Chorus]
I’m sorry I ain’t around more
Come up with me, or stay on the ground floor
I don’t need shelter from the downpour
Y’all can be whatever you WANT! Just not my Downfall
They tryna make me slow, tryna take me, no!
Can’t be my Downfall
They tryna knock my grind, I won’t stop, I’m fine
Can’t be my Downfall
[Verse 3]
No moment of clarity/
The next fight showing is a rarity/
Severity in me against my growin popularity/
Rappers won’t rap, I’m forced to believe they scared of me/
But can no longer use the scape goat, ‘They not aware of me’/
So y’all can go and throw your little pot shots/
Some dudes dissed me and temporarily got hot/
I’m getting my head right, recollecting/
Y’all looking for some website resurrection/
Being that I got too much to lose/
Or maybe a slight chance that a nigga guilty of all that I’m accused/
No longer amused, affected my loved ones/
Now they startin’ to bruise/
And I don’t want no parts of that abuse/
Wouldn’t wish or put my worse foe a day in my shoes/
That’ll just eliminate any excuse/
And why entertain em’?/
Old me would’a lost my senses, y’all just helping the new me regain em’/
Been punched in the face/
It was either feed my family or hunt wit the .38/
I ain’t want brunch to wait/
I’ve out grown Hip-Hop, it turned into a Day-Care/
So next time some shit is on my mind, it’ll stay there/
I’m staring at the man in the mirror/
But it ain’t helping see the man any clearer/
So I get M.I.A from around y’all/
Till God could stop answering these prayers for my Downfall/
[Chorus]
I’m sorry I ain’t around more
Come up with me, or stay on the ground floor
I don’t need shelter from the downpour
Y’all can be whatever you WANT! Just not my Downfall
They tryna make me slow, tryna take me, no!
Can’t be my Downfall
They tryna knock my grind, I won’t stop, I’m fine
Can’t be my Downfall
[Verse 4]
Tell me what am I to do/
If I ain’t have a soul a nigga always had you, pardon duke/
But I gotta speak candidly/
How the FUCK could you abandon me/
Wit 5 years of blood, sweat and tears/
But it was obviously a disconnect/
We turned that into a disrespect/
Said she been holding it inside for years, she’s unhappy/
So the girl I wan’ marry was afraid to come and tap me/
So I went away on tour……..and you went on one of your own/
But while you was on the horn all day wit ol’ boy/
Did you ever think about what it would do to your home?/
What’s his name? Where’s he live?/
What is it he offers? What’s he got to give?/
And I love you so much that when I caught on to your fibs/
I hit you like a man, you wore it in your ribs/
I was heated/
But had to be strong enough to remove the infidelity and see what’s underneath it/
Come to find out you felt lied to and cheated/
Mistreated, and kept it a big secret/
Or are you just loose?/
And I’m so naive I’m tryna give you an excuse/
Now that I refuse to believe, we life partners/
Only want her I would never never come and try and part us/
Can’t use anything I ever gave you to bury me/
You supposed to be the one to bury me/
You wan’ leave? Then goodbye/
Think the grass look greener on the other side. But it’s dye/
[Chorus]
I’m sorry I ain’t around more
Come up with me, or stay on the ground floor
I don’t need shelter from the downpour
Y’all can be whatever you WANT! Just not my Downfall
They tryna make me slow, tryna take me, no!
Can’t be my Downfall
They tryna knock my grind, I won’t stop, I’m fine
Can’t be my Downfall
where have we heard this sample before?
original: Art of Noise by Moments in Love
sampled by Biz Markie, LL Cool J, Krazie Bone, Lil’ Wayne (DJ Cinema), among others…
Budden stay killing tracks. Haters eat a dick. He got his production right and is on a streak.
The best rapper in the world wide web.
I hope Free Agent ain’t first because that shit got pushed back until after March
Budden be on his grind…I love his honesty. Sorry Tahiry
It is official that Joe Budden have the most hardcore fans in the world. I guess that means The Great Escape will sell about 1500 copies.
Yeah he can rap, but this still sounds pretty much like hot garbage. I don´t know why yall on J.Cardims nuts. He is like just below average, I mean he is worse than Statik Selektah.
Does Budden not listen to hiphop? If he did he probably could pick better music. Or he cant afford good production.
@ Not Built 4 Budden Linx
It Takes More Energy To Hate Than Just Give Props. Look How Much You Wrote. bwhahahaha…
(4)dope
god damn my nigga joey a thug poet, a new age PAC

^Exactly. What kind of idiot do you have to be to say Cardim and Selektah are wack? Have you heard “Clothes on a Mannequin” and “Black Cream”? Didn’t think so dumbass.
Some ppl on here just talk out there ass cause it tickles.
^^…u misunderstood my comment brotha…i was commenting on not built for budden linx’s comment that statik is better then cardim…no way, statik is dope but cardim as a crazy range…his joints w/ ludacris, french montana, and lox sound totally different then the budden shit

This track is simply amazing and it’s so personal, which is a rarity in today’s music industry.
Statik Selektahs much better on a whole different level
this track sucks
goes back to listening to exhibit A feat Mos Def
Joe Budden stans are awful.
Joe Budden haters are awful.
Yeah, I said it. I can’t figure out why this dude is so hated in Hip Hop? I’ve only been listening for a little while (To Budden, I mean – Slaughterhouse bandwagon) but he IS pretty nice on the mic.
IMO Slaughterhouse > Joe Budden but who really cares?
SH > Budden? lol. da hell
@yaowa
Just my opinion, btw I meant every member > Budden. His music I seem to enjoy the least of the four, but that’s still not a bad place to be in Hip Hop.
@the dude that said statik & j cardim was wack, w t f are you listenin too? there beats are crazy, true story – i used to hate joey when he was beefin with game cuz i didnt know to much about music, so i was like fuck buddens only because game was my favorite rapper, but now im all about music, shits my life, but yeah buddens grew on me and after awhile i relized how dope he was, @people callin us stans, so b4 u call me a buddens stan for given him props, know something about me
nice joint.
lol unexpected proving his idiocy one post at a time. go make a troll name like maynard or one of those faggots
@k yo u talkin to me?
oh wait nvm lol
this is dope but this is the only one I’ve actually felt has any repeat value from the slew of budden tracks recently
this shit is fuckin DOPE! Cardim is getin an A+ again. aaaaaaagghhh (joe budden scream) lol.
Mike the Situation = Joe Budden
SERIOUSLY THOUGH….i cant hate 1bit, im feeling this track, n the other handful or so joints budden has droppd lately
J.Cardim and Joe Budden whole cd of songs would b illi
I been feeling joe since 2002 niggas in kali aint feeling joe!
can all you haters take d i c k like a pornostar!!!! yaaaawhaaaa!!!!! slaughterhouse for life, buddens is my fav personally, been rockin him since his def scam debut. i’ve noticed ppl cant have opinions anymore and whats even worse is ppl cant respect others opinions without hating.
jbeezy think gucci mane is hip hop… pause
Yall niggaz cracking me up.
@ Giitch
I bang that real shit that is out there. Raekwon, Jay Electronica, Lupe, Big Boi etc…
This cottage cheese nigga Budden is just not hitting the right notes. He is not bad at the MIC, but his music is most definitely not friendly to the ears. Its garbage.
If you consider yourself a serious rap fan you most see this. But you are just some outkast niggas rooting for the underdog waaay too much.
Budden will never go down as one of the greats because he has not dropped that ill shit. He just does not have it in him. Therefore he will never be offered the good beats.
If he ever release something even remotely close to OB4CL2 I will reconsider my statment. But we know that will never happen.
And yeah. The Slaughterhouse album was a shitsandwich too. Real talk. Fuckk groupies.
Damn another dope mood muzik type joint from Joe! To bad it couldn’t make the album it’s way to dope to not! Oh well at least we got some more new heat from Joe & J. Cardim!
lol @ not built. fuck outa hear with that bias. if you said only built 1 that’s obvious, but 2 was horribly overrated .
buddens is rubbish how many songs does he do where he just raps and raps and raps this guy has no idea how to make good LISTENABLE songs. he just raps for days zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
HE’S SO BORING
