This One Is For The Real Hip-Hop Heads

A short post.

My recent, delayed love for Joe Budden (Padded Room to be specific) has been fully compounded by the brilliance of the new Slaughterhouse track, 'Wack MCs'.

(For those of you not in the know, Slaughterhouse is a hip-hop supergroup comprised of Budden, Royce Da 5'9", Joell Ortiz and Crooked I-four of the best lyrical rappers around.) Royce's verse is priceless, and definitely the standout on the track, although Budden doesn't disappoint with the opener either.

Look for a Padded Room review coming soon, definitely a contender for album of the year.

Also, if you get 5 minutes, check out a very, very cool interview with Asher Roth below. Expect to come away from that video with serious respect for how down-to-earth and intelligent Asher is.

"If Hip-Hop Is All Smoke and Mirrors, Then I'm The Windex and the Napkins"-Joe Budden.

i take it you've downloaded all 3 of joe budden's mood muzik mixtapes? if not do so immediately. also listen out for buddens and ortiz's track called move on...if you have already heard that then look out for the version that has royce and crooked's verses too :)

Nope, it's something I plan on doing though.

I heard about Move On actually, apparently it's all of those guys putting past beefs etc. behind them?

basically the original song with just joel ortiz and budden's verses are like them giving an interview. i guess budden's verse is about beef with the music industry as a whole. royce's verse is the only one that specifically addresses moving on from a beef (d-12 and eminem). i'm pretty sure they've just recently shot a video for the original track as well.
