It does not take a genius to realize the subliminals one this track. If you do not know the other tracks, and you call yourself a hip hop head you are doing yourself a disservice.ĭid you know that the remix to Pump it Up, started the long, subliminal, beef between Joe and Jay-Z? Story supposedly goes Joe (who was a Def Jam artist) wanted his idol/favorite rapper Hova on the remix, Hov said some insane price, Joe declined, Hova dropped a freestyle over the beat anyway, Joe went back and added a verse. His self-titled debut album has some bangers on it, yeah yeah I know Pump-pump-pump-it-up …but what about Fire ft Busta Rhymes, Focus, Calm Down, Walk With Me and 10 Minutes. Most casual fans only know Joe from Pump it Up or crappy reality tv, possibly COMPLEX, or his “beef” with Drake, and his own podcast but not so much for his music and that is a damn shame. With that being said, I believe Budden is underrated as an MC since so many “hip hop heads” thought it was ridiculous someone could include him in their Top 5. However just for fun I made my own Top 50 all time list (see below), and as you can see, Joe is not in the top five all time. Which, in no order, would be 2pac, Jay Z, Eminem, Tech N9ne and Joe. Now, full disclosure, Budden is in my personal Top 5 favorite rappers. Now the hip hop world has already torn into to this list for a multitude of reasons but the biggest critique that was trending on twitter was Jersey’s own Joe Budden. nothing like a good hip hop debate…įollow D.O.P.E on twitter (finally made one for the blog).
The pilot episode for DOPE Radio A tweet with the Top 50 rappers of all time went viral…….
