Beef Brewin Between 50 Cent and Joe Budden

Seems that last year's two favorite mixtape warriors turned major label signees are about to bump heads. Someone on RMHH posted a thread about friction between Joe Budden and 50 Cent. I'm still fact checking some of this story but I just want to post what I know so far before someone beats me to it .

In this August's XXL column "Step Your Rap Game Up," 50 Cent dissed Joe Budden over his line from Focus: "We pump diesel, I ain't talking 'bout jeans or sneakers..."

But Joey knows how to handle his business. He has retaliated on the Clue mixtape "Where Your Hood At? part 1" and spits:

"...Rearrange genes and features; Pump diesel / I aint talkin bout jeans and sneakers; Think about it (Uhh) / See you rap dudes wanna hassle me? Well / might have to treat this barrel like a Sprewell;You jump; I box out / what good is your bulletproof truck when you gotta hop out? [nigga]"
(audio of 50 Cent diss)

There are also rumors that 50 blocked Joe from being on the Roc the Mic tour. If that's true maybe it was because Joe can't perform live well anymore

In any case this should be good.

50 wishes he had the wordplay and beats that budden got! buddens album could have been better but the label fucked it up. let me see any rapper out battle with budden, they cant beat him on a great day. hottest mixtape artist ever, JOE BUDDEN!!

Yo this will be a battle 4 da mutha fuck'n ages and it could make everybody think 50 is the king of this battle shit right now and Budden is just the illest nucca that has just hit the mainstreem I look at it like this these like it or not are the two hardest working rappers in the game and this will be a long and drug out dog fight and I perdict no winner just alot of insults!

Posted by: BlackJuggernaut81964 at Sep 4, 2003 11:47:00 PM

both are so overrated and neither can rock the mic live - 50 just shouts, Budden gets his hypeman to rap the entire song, so he has throat problems - unlucky! he's hardly the second coming

as for these mixtapes.......from what I can gather - these Kay Slay mixtapes etc. are mostly the dj playing all the 'exclusives' - no scratching and there sure ain't no mixing... just a lot of 'D-J-Kay-Slay' - man shut up!! my little sister could play records one after the other and shout about who has beef with who... they should take some lessons from the 5th Platoon, Xecutioners etc...

that jay & nas beef was interesting - because of the quality of diss records that came out... but who really give s a f**k about budden and the world's first 'pre-packaged dead rapper' 50... not me

everyone is gettin tired of 50 cent tryin to diss everyone. jus cuz he got shot duznt mean hes not gunna get shot again. he shud shut his mouth b4 talkin shit, especially with joe budden since he is the hottest mc out there and is the only one that has SKILL. 50 is jus a gimmick to make mad cash and wuteva and plus hes dam ugly. joey kills the syles with everything he does, and is fuckin fine....so all this beef goin on shud continue cuz 50s not gunna come out alive newayz

"No team can beat us/we pump diesel I ain't talkin about Jeans or sneakers." That line from Joe Budden is the reason why this started and potentially can be the end of it all as well. 50 cent is a great lyricist but he's only going to appeal to the fact that he has been shot 9 times. His rhyme style hits the spot occasionally while Joe Budden Destroys it. On 50's album he had some deep tracks but basically lead to the same scenario at about the end of the track. But the thing about Joe Budden is he can stay focused, rhyme like he can do it, stay consistent with the flow, he's flexible with the subjects he rhymes about and to top it all off, he still works well with the walk-it-like-he-talks-it style that 9 times out of 10 wins over just words. 50 cent VS. joe budden? I have to go with my homeboy joe on this one because he is going to be able to prove his longevity more than 50.

I have to go with my homeboy joe on this one because he is going to be able to prove his longevity more than 50. That's all. Plus joe budden can take it back to the roots of hip-hop like he was part of it.

Posted by: Lighthouse at Oct 1, 2003 9:14:46 PM

50 cent kills all the rappers joe budden aint shit his album is shit he had to have all those big names in his album 50 didnt and it sold more records that budden could sell in his hole fucking career thats LONDON you americand dont know shit.

Posted by: Alexi emery at Oct 22, 2003 3:59:23 PM

50 vs. Joe? You know it gotta be Joey who comes out on top. 50's nice when he wants to be, but he don't spit that fire that Joe spits. The main reason why 50's album was as good as it was, was because he had Dre all over it. The tightest part of 50's album was the beats, not the words he mananged to string together and mumble out. I feel bad for Joe because to me , he is the better of the two, but Def jam didn't promote him half as well as Interscope promoted 50. Joe just needs to stay focused and go to a label who's going to give him %100. Bottom line, Joe's better in all catergories from flow to lyrics to looks.

50s amazing, but no longer is..Buddens new tracks are tight as hell.

Posted by: One Nigga TerroriSto at Oct 30, 2003 1:08:49 PM

I mean 50 cent aiight you know, but this nigga be tippin. I understand that this nigga got shot 9 times. This guy should praise GOD himself for still being alive, because next time he wont be so lucky. This image, walking around like he is made of steel aint it when someone is ready to blow off his head with someting simple like a shot gun. He's rich, he's famous, shit the bitches luv him.. but chill on the dissin everybody tip. There was only one Tupac, aint no other. And if he continues he may end up like him too. No man is superior, only GOD. A nigga can die antime. TO make a long story short..Just kiss your cash, live life and the others try to eat right!

Posted by: sim at Nov 10, 2003 11:21:06 AM

i read all ur messages all i want 2 say is that joe budden is tight but i'm going with my boy ffity. y becuse hiphop is changed it not all about lyrics now. example u got benzino try to battle EM. Wot the fcuk is all dat about. 50 got shot 9 times nigga could of died so of course his gonna talk dis gangster ting. I never heard of jay-z or nas getting shot. So fifty lives this gangster ting and right now the genre that making money in hiphop is gangster rap. And there bare tight lyricalist in the game but u never hear of them cuss the underground like dino bone. lol

Posted by: MuCkYBoNe at Nov 12, 2003 4:10:58 PM
