Spinoff: Assic or Not....Joe Budden-Joe Budden

[5th Letter]

Joe was hyped up as Def Jam's answer to 50 Cent. But his album was a slight let down. Not saying it was bad; but considering the hype it didn't live up to expectations.

He didn't flop though.

He didn't flop though.

I remember when it dropped. They used to have commercials on Hot 97 and the slogan was, "Joe Budden is the streets first round draft pick". Then he flopped hard.

But how is gold a flop tho

the expectations for joe at the time were pretty high.

and the album came out under the shadow of Get Rich or Die Tryin, which hadn't even reached full stride yet.

Yeah I don't know about the rest of the country but they were playing Pump It Up every half hour and playing commercials saying that, "Joe Budden is the streets first round draft pick". They hyped that album up to be like Get Rich or Die Trying. We were expecting the next 50 Cent. At least thats how it was in NYC.

Edit. Thats why I always clown him for being washed up. Maybe it was different in the other 49 states but in New York they hyped him up and he didn't live up to the hype.

Yeah but you back Rappers who back Child Rapists. ....
