Oh yeah, my friend told me that...I was like HELL YEAH when I heard that.</p>
His mix tapes were pretty much albums, and those were high quality...I can't wait till he actually comes out with an album, too.</p>
</div></p>
</p>
MM3 and The Growth are going to be crazy. I'm just woundering what he is going to do now. Sign with Koch? <span class="main"><span class="spacing">Jive? Aftermath? Go </span></span><span class="main"><span class="spacing">independent?</span></span></p>

I'm only vaguely familar without he got hosed by Def Jam. Regardless, even if I don't hear any of his music I'd still be happy with just 'Pump it up'</p>
</div></p>

I still enjoy listening to Pump It Up, even tho it's one of his "lesser" songs. And I'd love for the NBA to use that song with their commercials again. The current ones they use suck.</p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (smak)</div><div class='quotemain'>The dude is lazy as hell supposedly. It's really a shame because he's as talented as any rapper in the world right now.</div></p>
Joe answers you here:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">So in a way you couldn’t get too hot to where Def Jam might realize what they had.
</font></p>
<font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah. When I was on Def Jam, yeah. Online, you read the statements. “Joe Budden is lazy.” “Joe Budden doesn’t have the work ethic.” Anybody that’s followed my career from early on knows that’s not the truth. You’re talking about the guy that put a verse on every mixtape that was coming out. You’re talking about a guy who doesn’t even write 16’s anymore. Everything I write now is 60 bars or better. “Lazy” is the wrong word for me. It shouldn’t even be said. But I wasn’t going to do anything to get hot when I was on Def Jam. It would have been a waste of time. It’s like what happened with Mood Muzik 2. When Mood Muzik 2 came out, they kept me. That’s exactly what happened. They were thinking of letting me go and I put Mood Muzik 2 out and they didn’t let me go. They were thinking about letting me go and I put “Sexy Love” out and they kept me.</div></font></p>
Read this great interview just put up on hiphopgame.com
http://www.hiphopgame.com/index2.php3?page=joebudden1007</p>
It's a long read so here are some key quotes:
<font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>That’s good to hear. You’re finally off Def Jam after years of waiting to release The Growth. How did you get your release from Def Jam?
</font></p>
<font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Honestly, it was pretty simple. I was dropped. A few people close to me knew that I wanted off of Def Jam for years. Ever since they tried to do something with “Gangsta Party,” I wanted to go elsewhere. But every time there was mention of me going elsewhere, they came with contingencies. I was worried about having to pay back the money I spent there. I was worried about them taking the records I recorded while I was there with their budget. I was worried about a bunch of things. Two years ago I figured the best way to get off the label without having those issues or without having those problems was to not record and to not release any music. It’s been difficult. I’ve been living off publishing money and it’s been a struggle, but the plan worked out. I’m off and I don’t owe them anything. I feel great. I feel like a new artist again. I have a bunch of meetings with a bunch of labels. I can’t even put it into words. I kind of feel like I did when I first got my deal at Def Jam.</font></p>
<font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">DJ On Point told me last week that you guys were halfway done with Mood Muzik 3. on the project? What’s the status of Mood Muzik 3?
</font></p>
<font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">On Point lied. Mood Muzik 3 is a song away from being completed. One song. And I’m going tonight to do the one song. It’s done already. I’ll be in the studio tonight to complete it. And then the drama begins. Then I’m going to start tearing these streets up. I don’t have to worry about getting hot or worry about some of the things that I was worrying about.
</font></p>
<font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">When are you releasing Mood Muzik 3?
In December. </font></font></p>
<font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Can we expect some new music soon?
Hell yeah! Definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely.</font></font></p>
<font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">What’s your focus going to be for the next few months?
I want to have a situation by January and I want to have this album out no later than July.</div></font></p>
<font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font>He's not lazy he was worried that def jam would take his music so he stopped recording. As a matter of fact you can pre-order Mood Musik 3, it just went up on his fan site. There is also a MM3 myspace now. http://www.myspace.com/Mood3</p>

I consider myself a hip hop afficionado, but can someone explain to me what "Having a situation by january" means?</p>
Like, a new record deal?</p>
</div></p>
I'm not too sure either, but that's surely what it sounds like. And that sounds great to me...pretty much an album in MM3 to be released in December, and then by January, an official album.. Gettin' me all giddy!</p>

Reminds me a lot of the Papoose situation a while ago. Right when Pap was released he started to put tracks out like crazy.</p>

The first single from Mood Muzik 3 is out, it's called <span class="main"><span class="spacing">"Star Inside of Me" its a bit different (slow) and unlike most of Budden's tracks but I like it.
Listen Here!</span></span></p>
Then Ransom came out with a Joe Budden diss... Okay it's not really a diss it's "family bull shit" as Budden explains.
Listen Here!</p>
And of corse Joe came out with a response and killed Ransom.
Listen Here!</p>
