Joe Budden - Whatever It Takes

[@LanceJ.]

GOddamn shame he isn’t making more music. His shit was therapy.

[@brandonlee3841]

The way he gave personification to depression was genius and skillful too underrated

[@ryandonoghue4727]

Somehow I always seem to end up back here...Thank you for this, Joey.

[@60east]

Ryan Donoghue lol I was just thinking this as I got here

[@TheAlcides522]

+60east same here at the moment lol

[@happytrader-s3n]

[@Porkchopportugal]

Still here! Fucking genius Joe is.

[@henrynghath4751]

Until this day

[@happytrader-s3n]

Still bumping this song....damn this song means the world to me.

[@joshbraby3313]

still here in 2020... this song got me through some SHIT

[@FolkLaurr]

One of my all time most loved songs. This song has gotten me through so much bullshit. I have related to this song more than any other. Wish I could thank Joey in person for making this.

[@Porkchopportugal]

Listening to this in high school 14 years ago compared to being 32 now is differenttttt!! Much better. And I had a kid with someone who isn’t with me 😂❤

[@tefweebz]

This is in my Top 5 best Joey tracks, saying I relate to this track is an understatement, it got me through so much, I was in the military when this came out, and I can remember sitting on the ship when my depression and anxiety were at its worse and when I heard the part where he personified his depression, "we roommates, I'm in your head Joe you live with me." I literally broke down and had to hold tears back because of how deep and close to home that was. Joey never lets me down.

[@LOCS_80]

Taron Webb I was in the Army Iraq 05-06. I feel you

[@zacharyburns5040]

20 yrs from now will still be listening to this. Joey is a beast

[@sergioortiz3882]

Literally can come back to this song anytime and get that extra push

[@JXN091]

Budden just makes me take a step back and look at my life. Thanks Joe, from all your fans. I know I'm speaking on behalf of 100% of your real listeners when i say that.

[@erikonasis1313]

Probably the realest record I have ever heard!

[@tombrady5744]

Still here. Just 1 of those nights

[@aqazi1000]

Now this is hiphop........too bad when the old generation is gone all we will be left with is memories of what hiphop used to be. I miss the 90's when hiphop was at its rawest and this is reminiscent of it.

[@jasonthomas16]

Back here. One of the most real songs about depression around

[@delt2234MD]

Greatest song ever

[@IvryHancock]

This is one of joe buddens best tracks

[@matthewkrieger9101]

MOST UNDERRATED RAPPER OF ALL-TIME (and its not even close)

[@juniorbrown9059]

This is one of my joints from wat back. Talk your truth cuz.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@cmuney101]

I feel that, that was the deepest part of the song....depression ends up being the only friend you can relate to when times get hard

[@KennyObiWanKenobi]

I bet this song has saved a lot of lives 👏

[@jayluvlogs9154]

yessir. sure has. I come back every so often to pay my respects.

[@keriiallen57]

one of my favorite songs no doubt

[@YouTubeSlobsOnDaNob]

Times, trends, and styles come and go... even though we've grown with this movement from its infancy to its current mainstream state, it could never die. Today we are flooded with music we really wouldn't listen to, but it's funny how we give it an earshot demo to see if there is still something to motivate us beyond our own capabilities like that of the past. Through all the garbage we endure in the music biz, it makes it more worth the while to find gems like Joe Budden.

[@FolkLaurr]

I go back to this song at least 4 times a year. This song is definitely in my top 10 for life.

[@nickjamea2423]

Joe buddens music is like a feeling when I listen to him I feel every word

[@bsktbll187]

This song made me survive the deepest place ive ever been in my life and for that THANK YOU

[@GuerrillaSoldieress]

Ladies and Gent's what your listening to is pure PAIN on a beat!! This is the reason J.B is one of my favorite emcees, and at certain times, hes the only hip hop artist im bothered fuckn with at all.. Peace...

[@LOCS_80]

Lilly only time I feel.

[@jgarcia752]

THIS AINT RAP..ITS HOPE.

[@NickelNine]

[@frankyatempa2636]

Nickel Nine real talk

[@LOCS_80]

Real shit

[@ready2rumblesports276]

[@cattchaos8446]

Yup.

[@symphoniez]

Powerful. "See I'm depressed lately, but nobody understands That I'm depressed lately, I'm sorta feelin' repressed lately So y'all been hearin' and seein' me less lately Like 'has anyone noticed the regress lately?' Look deep, nigga, don't I seem stressed lately? Seem disturbed, lot of regrets lately Got a company that I'm signed to But they ain't in my company when all I need is some company When I start feelin' like e'rybody's done with me They're tryna see what e'rybody want with me Then the mistress, yeah, the girl from "10 Minutes," it's her Now I'm needin' 10 minutes from her"

[@joshuaholland5878]

2021 “This too Wont last This too shall Past” J. Budden

[@joesmo6834]

[@jerzeesouljah]

BUT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THAT, THEN ITS BACK TO PCP AND SO LONG WITH RAP....this man gave us all his pain in his music

[@RSDezhen]

This is some deeply beautiful shit.

[@robertglasgow5494]

Been listening to this for over 10 yrs now!!!! still listening in 2016 I guess depression just stepped in And took over shit like it's known to do Guess it said, hey Joe, I'm goin home with you Turn your phone off, I need to be alone with you I need to be in the zone with you Cause I'm the only thing you've prone to nigga, look I own you nigga Been with you since 10, but you startin to confuse me Cause it's been so long and you still tryin to lose me Like how could you show me such cruelty When everybody turns their back on you Joe it's you and me Joe you don't want me to see you right And why you always come get me, how we reunite, huh? I know you feel for me deep in your heart Doctors, meetings, pills couldn't keep us apart

[@toucansfootballclub]

budden will never be big unless he changes. he is too real and dark. i love this song, and others from him.

[@tefweebz]

"...and if something goes wrong with that, then it's back to PCP and so long with rap." So fucking REAL!!!

[@vkerrbra]

2022 and i still come here when i need to know someone understands how i’m feeling.

[@justsomerandom5167]

This song is goated for good reason

[@YourDrawerness]

been listening to this song for like 5-10 years.. both versions.. love this man. no homo.

[@Porkchopportugal]

Both versions?? Don’t tell me it been over a decade and I never knew another version of this?? Please be here to answer 🙏

[@MidTierVillain]

Hip hop didnt die in the 90's,we just got older.. The new genre has it easier.. Same art tho,respect it.

[@tefweebz]

@YourDrawerness This was my favorite part of Ten minutes, just amazing! I love that there's so much heart in this, and he hasn't changed at all, it's always so real, and not to mention his storytelling tracks. In my opinion, 3 sides to a story is the most elaborate, imaginative and well put together song I've ever heard.

[@xethump]

When I need time with me, I listen to Joe to help me through it.

[@pocketful0fsunshine8]

this track roct me, still kickin tryna find a way, what eva it takes, peice love, find ur way

[@GetHighMyLife]

We need to get this guy to the top. It's that on top

Joey one of the best period people don't know music shit is sad really

[@peterbaylo6629]

Song a straight up classic

[@buttmonkey0420]

One of the SICKEST most def

[@Ohfashonico]

@Bricksinmygloves That's real right there big ups to you for gettin thru tought times with Joey's music. Same here when I can't deal with all the problems, Joe's music speaks out to me for the good... His shit is the real deal

[@jerrymartinez5380]

Joey is the truth

[@playback135]

joe is so underrated

[@tefweebz]

@YourDrawerness I was telling someone that, i hated that people only knew him from Pump It Up, meanwhile he was my favorite rapper and most relatable. I'm glad him and the other 3 quarters of the slaughter are getting their recognition, but this guy's body of work should have so much more attention. I feel the same way about All of Me when he talks about Tammy, just an amazing story. "If you don't feel what the pencil scripts, then 9 times out of 10 you ain't been through shit."-Joe Budden

[@jermainelucas1906]

This is my favorite song by button well one out of many I mean

[@joshbetts9163]

[@lekelly9583]

Hell yeah I'm stressed to. This world is getting crazy! Sometimes I feel like humans are cancer ! Why can't we just sit down for a lil pow wow and just chill? Instead we fall for our governments b.s. And let them keep us divided.

[@nahmancharles849]

[@jerzeesouljah]

When me and my boy argue over joe budden bein washed , i tell this nigga joe is one if the rappers that is gifted when it comes to this genre, he can make you feel his pain in any song, or he can make you inspired ...i dont see no washed talk when this mans music has spoken to me and has pulled me out of slumps ...but idiots that try to follow all the new music wont ever grasp just how talented this man is!

[@LitPenguin713]

Where can I find this version? Its not on itunes, mayne this shit hits a soft spot in my heart for real shit.

@tefweebz Ditto.. i don't have the same story.. but this song, and his music, have taken me away from so many bad places mentally, for years. i break down when i hear a lot of his shit.. Joey is the truth and it sucks so many ppl r finally jumping on the wagon just cuz of eminem.. but im glad he's getting the recognition.. his and royce. those are, and have been my top 2 underground rappers since they fell off.
