“I hate your last single and NONE of your Boys Roc”

Congrats to Joe Budden, he recently inked a deal with Amalgam Digital to release a retail version of his latest mixtape with the title of Mood Muzik 3: The Album. The retail version will contain unreleased material as well as full versions of the songs that faded out on the mixtape (Ventilation and All of Me). On top of that, all tracks will be without DJ voice overs.

So for now, I’m gonna drop Mood Muzik 3.5, the NoDJ version of the Mood Muzik 3 mixtape I posted earlier.

Oh yea. And to bring something new old to the table, I also have Joe Budden’s Def Jam demo. That’s right!

Tracklist + Download links after the jump…

Nas opens up about the new album. Reveals a few “interesting” song titles and revels in the depth of the project.

“I have a song called the ‘Fear.’ The full title of the record is ‘The Fear of the Black Man’s Dick.’ That’s some shit you can get comedy [from], or you can get some seriousness from it when you talk about the barbaric castrations that happened in our past … which is very serious, nothing to laugh at.” - Nas

…umm, yea.

Looks like Nas’ fans won’t be hearing his new album anytime soon as it’s been pushed back to February. No REAL reason has been stated but did you really think it was gonna drop? I didn’t. Nas also stated that the popular “leaked” snippet for What It Is is fake. Just leaked vocals over a random beat. More at em tee vee.

Jada speaks on his recent deal with Def Jam, his relations with ex D-Block member J-Hood and his legal troubles.

Less than 12 hours after the people over at DX reached out to Ransom about the beef between him and Joe Budden; they got the other side of the story from Joey. I guess they gotta keep the turn-around time the same as the diss records haha. Joe also goes into his Def Jam leave, Mood Muzk 3, Jay-Z and says that the ALBUM will be out this summer no matter who it is through.

“I don’t know, that I don’t know. I think maybe he might have had some issues with me prior too, and just used that as a scapegoat and a reason to start dissing me out of the blue. Either that, or he could’ve really felt like I disrespected him or had some malicious intent towards him. That would be stupid, that’s my man, but Lord knows some of the things that go on in these people’s heads.” – Joe Budden on why he thinks Ransom recorded the first “diss” record.
