Joe Budden - Def Jam Diss (The Growth Intro)

[@JABOENT]

I had this on the Mood muzik 2....it was the last song on there..not the intro....but I used to ride to this back in 04...

[@00sm4]

Joey paid the price of being real. Perhaps... Too real? Too much pride? I've got mad love for him man, it pains me to see him not the star he should be. If he just played the game a little bit more he could have been CONSIDERED by the mainstream as one of the greats. Now he's just hip hops best kept secret.

[@AfroWasiu]

Sean Mahoney how times have changed

[@EthicRadioArchiveReels]

Facts bro 💯

[@kenwashington4337]

Joey won in the end.

[@72Remsen]

The 1st 4 bars🔥what an opener

[@kdeezo326]

Quiet as kept, Joe had a lot of your favorite rappers trying to blackball him back in the day. Competition was a really if thing back then and he was a problem💯

[@Solodolo84]

[@BlazNnVA]

[@sincere2da]

Oh my god, i lost all my joints when my computer broke and this is one of the lost gems.

[@BrBenning]

[@LadleOfStew]

This is hitting 1000x harder after Pump It Up JUST went gold in 2023.

[@andyao]

[@DloBlack]

Whichever DJ titled this Def Jam Diss fucked Joe over lol

[@BIG_HOMIE_]

[@yaboyprime614]

[@jaysundj]

Anyone have this beat? Or know what it called?

[@scruffydevon87]

fucking truth right there Hot 97 sold out

[@Ncogniigro]

2024. Joe has a whole new sense of emcee'n then compared to today. WTF

[@00sm4]

yeah but at the time, man, at the time. Jay was different then. Jay is a little less hip hop now, if joey was coming up now hov would help him but back then Hov was in serious "leave-my-mark-on-the-game" mode. JOEY WAS A THREAT

[@BLACKFONZIRELLI]

in the stash somewhere

[@bobbymendoza2938]

If this wasn’t ahead of its time idk what is

[@jaysundj]

Is he actually dissing them, though? The lyrics are just kind'a telling a story.

[@friendoftheshow3382]
