Joe Budden admits Slaughterhouse break-up was his fault

On the latest episode of REVOLT’s “Drink Champs,” hosted by N.O.R.E and DJ EFN, Joe Budden reflected on Slaughterhouse demise and the New York-bred rapper seemingly took full responsibility for their split.

“Come on, give me the blame; I’ll take it. I’ll take the blame. I ruined everything. Everything that you loved, I ruined that s–t. Even next to 10 years long of just stories and talking, hey, I did it. It was me. It was me!” said Joe Budden.

Then he continues: “I don’t know what was tremendous and what wasn’t but I think E1 [Entertainment] gave us an opportunity and I think Shady [Records] gave us an opportunity. I’m grateful for both. Like, which one was more lucrative, who knows. I don’t think our business was being done the right way at the time so I couldn’t say. We had four managers. That sounds like a mess. I did try to bring one person to manage the group’s entity at one point but that didn’t go well.”

Later on, N.O.R.E started talking about how Slaughterhouse was formed and reminded Joe Budden that him and Royce were dissing each other before joining forces in one group. On that, Joe replied: “You are conflating things. But I guess that’s true at different points. I did a record that was not the friendliest to Royce but I never put it out because him and I got cool and then it got leaked and then it was some back and forth going on. We squashed that and then I reached out for a verse. And that was a Slaughterhouse track. It was me, Royce, Crooked, Joell and Nino Bless. And the reaction was great. So we just kept it up. It was really as simple as that. We kept everybody from the song except Nino Bless. And shout out to him.”

Kxng Crooked & Joell Ortiz talk how Joe Budden & Eminem’s fall out affected “Glass House”

Kxng Crooked and Joell Ortiz have recently sat down with Math Hoffa, Mr. Mecc and Sean Bigga for the latest episode of My Expert Opinion where the crew talked about how Joe Budden and Eminem‘s fall out led “Glass House” album to be scrapped and how “I Will” track from Music To Be Murdered By came about.

“Em never came out and attacked Joe without, in his mind, a reason. The only time he started mentioning Joe was after Joe said his s**t was trash on his show. And that particular song on Music To Be Murdered By album (“I Will”), those verses are five years old and the way that song came about is when we were all in Detroit, recording some other s**t. Then me and him (Joell Ortiz) jumped on some s**t. And Em always liked it and it ended up putting on his album.” said Kxng Crooked.

Then he continues: “One of the reasons Glass House didn’t drop is that Joe wanted off the label. He didn’t want to do it so how you gonna drop an album on a label that you don’t want to have anything to do with? You have to be there to promote the album. You gotta be there to run around. Do videos and visuals. If you don’t want to be on a label, how gonna make it out? I’m not saying Joe single-handedly stopped the album coming out but it played a role.”

“If the album would have came out, it would have been pretty expensive. We had a Slaughterhouse of producers. We had Just Blaze. We had Justice League. We had Cardiak. We had AraabMuzik. We had !llmind. We had Q-Tip. We always wanted to put it out. I did several conference calls. The date would get moved.” Kxng Crooked added.

At one stage of the brackets, J. Cole popped up against Eminem. Here is what Joe replied: “Cole! Em has been…He left earth one time though but that needs to be more consistent for me. J. Cole is doing this while playing in and out of Italian league basketball. Or wherever the f**k he’s playing basketball. It was in Africa? He doing all this while hitting he baseline three. And Cole’s last album for me is Chef’s Kiss, I have not got that from Em in a little bit. Not saying that he’s incapable doing that but I have not gotten that. I’m going Cole.”

Elsewhere in the brackets Budden chose Benny The Butcher over Freddie Gibbs. Nicki Minaj over Cardi B. Pusha T over Drake. Lil Wayne over NBA YoungBoy. Future over Kanye West. Jay-Z over Nas. Lil Durk over Lil Baby. Kendrick Lamar over Benny The Butcher and Tyler The Creator over Nicki Minaj.

Later during the interview, Joe Budden also questioned Eminem’s place in top 10 greatest rappers of all time: “I don’t know if Eminem is on there.

Joe Budden laughs at The Game’s Eminem-diss record

Few days ago, The Game released “Drillmatic: Heart Vs. Mind” album, which includes a track “The Black Slim Shady,” a diss-track aimed at Eminem.

In one of his latest episodes on Joe Budden Podcast, Joe Budden and his crew talked about the song.

“Don’t make me jump in there [discussion about ‘The Black Slim Shady.’ I’m trying to have a good time with it. Don’t make it serious,” said Budden. “You all like Game as Eminem better than Eminem as Eminem? ENOUGH OF YOUR THOUGHTS! You liked that song?! We booty clapping today? Are we not gonna tell the truth about that song?”

Then he continues: “I was listening to that s**t, saying, ‘why is Game doing that?’ If you don’t want to hear Em like this, I don’t wanna hear him like this! I don’t like it when the inventor of it do it in a voice and style that he worked on his entire life, so regardless of maybe fans being off it, he has crafted that. Game can do that, cool but you gotta know when to not do it. Game raps better than that… That’s the only song I can comment cause I didn’t hear the rest. That song… c’mon man..”

Joe Budden tells Math Hoffa why he never responded Eminem’s diss

Joe Budden has recently visited Math Hoffa, Smoke DZA, ESSO, MR MECC and HYNAKEN on My Expert Opinion where the crew briefly talked about a beef with Eminem.

“I don’t even remember that s**t. I don’t have nothing to say about Eminem diss. I don’t need an opportunity to diss a rapper. It’s my action and my though that I have processed this myself. It’s awesome that a rapper with that magnitude threw it for whatever reason but the reason does not matter. If I wanted to diss him and I would diss him. I’m not giving this to clickbait culture ‘Joe Budden disses Eminem…'” said Joe.

Then the crew continue talking about The Game challenging Eminem into a battle.

Joe Budden & Joell Ortiz got into heated argument about Slaughterhouse break-up

Kxng Crooked and Joell Ortiz have recently announced their new collaborative project, titled “The Rise And Fall Of Slaughterhouse.” The two also dropped the first two singles off the project and Royce 5’9″ and Joe Budden are not happy about it.

Yesterday, Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz exchanged some harsh words on Instagram live chat. Things took a turn after Joell called out Budden and Royce Da 5’9 for spinning some “wild a*s narrative” about his and Crooked’s forthcoming album.

“Y’all out here running around with some wild a*s narrative, lying about me and Crooked like we went and took a bag. Y’all got people out here saying we doing things for a bag. I never done nothing for a bag.”

Joell continued, “Y’all know me better than that. If anybody spinning the narrative, it’s y’all two gentlemen. Especially you, Royce. You out here talking about the 25 percent. You had 25 percent and you burned it down. You doing all types of mathematical equations about housing ownership and s**t. The bottom line is this: Crooked brought a bag to the table for something y’all ain’t been f**king with for a long time.”

Joell later asked Joe to support the album instead of hate, on which, the response was pretty harsh: “Suck my ***k. Are you kidding me?” Joe snapped.

“N***a, suck my d**k, don’t go there. Don’t do that. That little comment right there. You gonna wish you retracted that one.” said Joell and left the chat.

Joe Budden says Eminem & Kendrick Lamar song is terrible, discusses Em’s verse on Cordae’s album

Joe Budden and his crew have recently discussed Cordae’s new album “From A Bird’s Eye View” and talked about the Eminem collaboration “Parables,” (Remix).

“I think ‘Eminem we know you can rap’ is an unfair criticism. He has been doing this s**t. My beef is with people who keep letting him do this on their songs. Shut that s**t off! But you are not chopping Eminem off but you can’t rap for 3 minutes on my song dawg! He’s one of the rappers that you just never play around baddies.” – said Joe.

“But I will say, if you ask Em to come an do a song with you then maybe this is what you want him to do, cause if rappers keep letting him do this, extending the beat or he does it and sends it back and they just accept it then…I would cut his verse cause he cut mine! [Laughs]. Do that s**t with Wayne. Do that s**t with somebody that gonna do it back. He can rap for 5 minutes on Lil Wayne song but Wayne is never putting it out without Wayne rapping for 6 minutes. That will never happen. ‘Hey , rap all you want cause I’mma do it too. Do it there. Don’t do it with ni**as that are putting out 12s or 16s bars songs. What was it, was it Nas’ album that he did that s**t? He just goes off on very feature.” Joe added.

Later in the interview, Joe and his crew discussed Eminem and Kendrick Lamar “Love Game” song from 2013 and they called it ‘terrible.’

“That Eminem and Kendrick Lamar record is high on the list of worst record ever made by two superstars. It was a mess. That happened with Hova too. Who was on that record Kingdom Come? Was it Beyonce or Usher?” said Joe Budden.

Swifty McVay slams Charlamagne & Joe Budden for discrediting Eminem

D12’s Swifty McVay has recently chatted with Hip Hop XXIV where the Detroit legend and the interviewer talked about Charlamagne Tha God discrediting Eminem by his comments about Verzuz.

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You can’t battle with a man’s opinion but alot of people use ‘this is my opinion’ as an excuse to sneak diss too. Charlamagne’s favorite rapper of all time is Ghostface Killah for being lyrical and if you acknowledge him for being a lyrical monster as well as other rappers you gotta acknowledge Eminem. To me, Tekashi and them are rappers but not lyrical monsters and to say that he’ll get washed by people who are not lyrical monsters and he knows to be a lyrical monster is one of the highest praises of hip-hop, it seems like he just don’t wanna give it up because of the certain reason. I don’t know what reason but in my opinion he wants to take little bit of that power away because of other reasons. That’s my opinion to his opinion. He knows deep down inside that Eminem would not get washed. He was talking it little bit too far in my eyes.”

“My thing is, fans decide who’s the greatest out here and if you got majority of the world saying that Eminem is the GOAT and you got these podcasters trying to take the power away it has to be another reason.. I think Joe Budden went too far as well. He went overkill when he was talking to his audience how whack he thought Eminem’s album was. He knew deep down in his mind that it was for the ratings as well. That s**t is not my cup of tea.”

“To be honest, I could be wrong, but in my opinion I don’t think Eminem will ever do Verzuz. I don’t think anybody is worthy to do Verzuz with Em. There might be couple of people out there I can think of but I don’t think he will do it. There is too many people out here who just don’t wanna give him respect he deserves because of the color of the skin. Give this man his flowers. He takes his crab seriously and he gives you all what these forefathers birthed and taught us to give lyricism, syllables, wordplay and you got these people discrediting him because they know deep down inside they can’t bring the level of lyricism that Eminem brings so they discredit his lyricism to compensate for them not being able to do it so they can be respected for not doing it.”

Joe Budden hints at returning to rap

As the Slaughterhouse reunion talks continue, Joe Budden might seriously be considering a return to rap, as he tells Benny The Butcher that he wants to do a song with him in the future.

“Benny, we are going to rap together one day and you are not going to say that ‘Butcher Coming’ s**t when I’m there. We are going to rap together one day and I gotta get him to tuck that ‘The Butcher is Coming’ away.”

Looks like, Benny is down to team up with Joe as the Griselda rapper responded on Twitter: “lol let me pick all the beats for a new Joe Budden tape and drop it on Black Soprano Family. Would be crazy trust me.”

Joe Budden – “Slaughtermouse” (Letter To Eminem)

THROWBACK. 

Back in 2015, Joe Budden released a song titled “Slaughtermouse” (Letter To Eminem), off of his then-new album, All Love Lost. Joe discussed the lyrics of the song with Genius. In the lyrics, we read:

“Look, it was around ’99, baby coming while I was at rock bottom,
Ironic s**t, I was listening to “Rock Bottom.””

Joe explains:

“‘Rock Bottom’ helped me immensely. I can’t explain what that record did to me. I couldn’t even understand who was this man putting these words together this way, going through this, feeling like this. This is how I feel, I just can’t rap this good.

It’s crazy how small the world is and how stars align and 360 degrees of separation. Just thinking back to being in Jersey City with a child coming, unemployed not knowing where my check was coming from, not knowing how I was going to be able to provide for this kid and this kid’s mom and myself even. Now go to today and working with somebody who was very instrumental in getting me through that time.”

Lyrics continue:

“Listen, I’m writing to you now cause we don’t get to talk much,
‘Cept for in the stu’ when we be passing through the halls and such,
I wonder if you catch me stare at you in awe much,
And we be busy working so I never share my thoughts much.”

Joe explains:

“The interactions between me and Eminem have been great, just far and few. Em is like a hip-hop encyclopedia and he’s extremely passionate. He’s one of the more meticulous men that I ever met. Talking to him about hip-hop, you just learn so much about the culture.

Those conversations are good and him and I have had some more personal conversation that will remain confidential. But outside of our interactions musically, that may be the extent of his knowledge of me. I don’t know that to be a fact, but it may be.

So when we talk, I’m forced to wonder: “I wonder if this guy knows that are paths are very similar.” “

Also notable lyrics are:

“When Bad met Evil, ni**a who was happier than me?
Think back, the way that I was on that s**t,
You woulda thought it was my album and I was on that s**t,
Like f**k rap, happy to see a friendship get mended,
Cemented and any frivolous tension get ended,
Joell you my G, Weapon Waist you my OG cuz,
Nickel you know I look at you like it’s blood.”

……………….

“And to Em, one of the illest ever on the mic,
We’re less different than we are alike,
This ain’t about star power, I ain’t on the hype,
Never mind skin color, I see beyond the white,
My whole life I fought trauma like you,
Had ups and downs with my baby mama like you,
I had my fair share of transgressions like you,
Had a bad temper once and fought aggression like you,
Did drugs, popped pills, fought depression like you.”

……………………..

“F**k this record deal, you (Em) inspired me as a man,
I’ll cut it short, before I start feeling like a Stan,
HouseGang for life, word to the pig on Royce’s hand.”
