Retired rapper turned broadcaster, Joe Budden is currently the number one trending topic on Twitter and this is because he made a ballsy claim of being a better emcee than popular rapper and labelmate, Eminem.
“I’ve been better than you this entire fucking decade”, Budden snapped in response to Eminem’s diss directed at him on his just-released Kamikaze album. On the song, Fall which is the albums 10th track, Eminem threw shots at Joe, accusing him of being an abuser. “Somebody tell Budden before I snap, he better fasten it or have his body bag get zipped. The closest thing he’s had to hits is smackin’ bitches”, said Eminem.
Joe Budden’s response came in a short clip which is from a forthcoming episode of his popular podcast. “Newsflash Em. I heard the album. And because I think you don’t really know all the members that were in the group, I don’t think you really know our history. Let me tell you what Joe Budden has thought this entire time. I’ve been better than you this entire fucking decade. Huh? Can’t say that back then. But in my rapper brain, I’m a content nigga. You gotta say something. You have not said anything for the better part of a whole fucking decade. You have rhymed a bunch of words”, Budden asserted.
The release of this clip has sent the internet into a buzz as fans have begun to take sides in the argument of who is a better rapper between Joe and Em.

Joe Budden is one of the greatest lyricists we’ve ever had in hip hop PERIOD. He’s one of the few lyricists that can make good music while still giving good content & great lyrics. You will only know this if you’ve listened to his music. Not heard… LISTENED.
