“The Glass Ceiling is gone” exclaimed the “reborn” MC who felt held back while being signed to Def Jam records.
“Things are beautiful now,” he continued.
“I’ve always been a workhorse and live in the studio, I was making the music, but nobody was pushing it. The bottom line is the people that signed me and had the faith in me weren’t there” said Buddens who felt he was making music without a purpose.
“What I’m doing right now with Mood Muzik 3 is exactly what the record labels and the industry is gonna see in another 8 years; maybe less. Soon you will not see a record store anywhere it’s all gonna be new media”
Buddens also went on to speak about Beanie Sigel, T.I., and Brittney Spears amongst many things.

Zoe pound and Fresh25 you dudes is insane if you dont know the buzz Joe has. That dude is raw. I mean....RAW. Check out Mood Musik 2 when you get a chance. Anyone that knows relevant Hip Hop is a Joe Budden fan...and thats word.
yea man joe beast the truth dat man is so underrated its ridiculous def jam aint handle him well his first album went gold an since den its been all mixtapes hot mixtapes but no album i swear "the growth" had like 8 release dates in one year! im rockin wit joe fuk u haters man lissen 2 his music THEN say he ass if u dnt like him
ye awho is joe budden wasnt he scared of game pullin a kanye or something like that budden pussyyyy
how da hell does joe budden suck? If u think that budden is wack, that means u dont like hip hop, and u should get off this fuckin site.
wow u ignorant.. budden is not hip-hop.. nas is hip hop, rakim is hip hop, common is hip hop, hova is hip hop, etc... BUDDEN YA RIGHT he ight he hasn't even had a sophomore release yet
word u dumb. didnt u read the article, he was in a bad situation wit def jam and now that he left we could expect an album. hip hop is all about the lyrics and if u listen to mood muzic 2 u would know thats straight hip hop.
whatever dogg u actin like defjam is a bad place 2 be come on?? haha now an actual bad situation would be capitol or koch where he'll probably end up.. both industry graveyards.. get off buddens life support team cause u aint helpin
dam doe fresh look how many niggas aint fukin wit def jam no more even ll cool j gotta lil beef wit em u cant even make a argument 4 def jam man but if joe budden aint hip-hop what is he? i aint tryna say he's the FACE of hip-hop i think thats wat u gettin it confused wit leatherface is sayin he's PART of real hip-hop not the face of it joe budden a beast if u dnt like em fine fuk it but dam u cnt shyt on ma nigga opinion doe
first LL only got beef wit def jam cause he want 2 OWN it, second who's sold the most this year in hip-hop? oh ya that'd be DEF JAM- jeezy, jay, and o ya mr. west etc. all platinum plus! second ya that's what i was gettin at budden def aint anywhere near the face of hip-hop and 2 me still unproven lots of dudes deliver HOT mixtapes than WACK albums to me joey budden will end up being one of those rappers. I could write a list of rappers who are way sicker mc's than budden.. the dude def aint in my top 25! maybe not even top 50 so 2 me like i said he just ight. If this were XXL i'd give him an L at best maybe as a MC...
correction (Columbia Records) had the most sales... Fresh where are you gettin your info from??
yea cus it aint nobody after jay jeezy an ye dat went platinum so u actin like they hit da gold mine but if joe aint in YOUR top 25 then so be it i respect cus everybody feel different i jus disagree
who's sellin over at columbia in hip hop? i think ur just talkin about overall sales for all genre's.. i'm talkin about HIP HOP

hmmmm CORRECTION if you can read properly, you know something you should have picked up before you hit the second grade.. I SAID and I quote "how bout i give you two: one hip-hop and one R&B" R & FUCKING B dumbass and heres facts for facts you fuckin prick:
Year of the Dog... Again is a hip hop album released on August 1, 2006. It is the sixth studio album released by New York rap artist DMX. The first singles released from the album were "We in Here" and "Lord Give Me a Sign".
The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart and spent three weeks in the top ten of UK Album Charts and number one on the Rap Charts with 125,000 copies sold in the first week. Just 1,500 copies short of surpassing Now 22 and achieving number-one status, breaking an unprecedented run for any artist in any genre: DMX's first five albums debuted at number one
The album went on to reach over 767,000 copies sold worldwide and eventually hit certified Platinum Status.
Joe doesnt suck....but he aint the dude yall hype'n him up to be....lol....he got skills but really puttin together songs that u feel...I dont get that from him...sometimes when he gets personal you hear it but we already no his story by now....whats next....he fronted on Jay....if your music is really really good...we'll see in a year from now if it was worth it and if he doesnt blow...apologize to Jay for all the flack he's been taking...
joe budden needs to stop being a fucking coward and battle cassidy! I got 2 bills in cassidy who wanna bet me. holla

i remember before pump it up. like 02 i think, g-unit was just comin out. and if u kno nething about that u kno that they were the biggest thing out on the mixtapes. And u wernt coppin a mixtape if it wasnt banks yayo or 50. the only other dude u could speak of with those dudes was joey. couldnt tell neone else different. his album was iight. didnt really reflect him on the mixtapes. more wat def jam wanted, i guess.im glad to see hes free and back on it. if u say buddens a weak rapper u really havnt herd him. or just remember him form pump it up(which went hard). go bump a freestyle or search him on datpiff. i love weezy but just cuz he dont sound like him dont mean hes wack.
a yo south centrals a fuckin idoit go jump off tha roof n be a gay stripper or somethin cuz tha shit u talkin u most been under a rock 4 tha past 5 years or u jus listen to r n b n have no utter knowledge of hip hop wat so ever...i mean its cool to base a persons career off wat they sell i mean jus cuz the shit sold a mill dont mean it hot wat they got isnt gonna make u like tha music tha nigga tight weather he broke done flopped or sold 10 mill it dont matter......but my nigga buddens is hot stop camparin him to cassidy they two diff type of rappers they both hop n hop off that mans nutz sack......fuckin hatAZZZZZ Go read a book or somethin.....
NIGGA U NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SPELL..BEFORE U GO AN JUMP OFF ON ANYONE..SERIOUS MY NIG HOW U GON TELL ANYONE PICK UP A BOOK...PREACH UR OWN WORDS..CAMPARING..IT'S COMPARING...AN WHETER IS NOT THE SAME SPELL AS THE CLIMATE MORAN..WEATHER...BOY U NEED TO GO BACK TO 7TH GRADE U PROBLY ABSENT THE DAY THEY WENT OVER GRAMMAR AN PRONOUNS...DONT EVER CORRECT NO ONE..WHEN U ON A 4TH GRADE READING LEVEL..GET ON MINE U OBLIVIOUS RETARD...
