Joe Budden – The Album Before The Album (2007)
Here’s something for all fans of rap music, after the loads of metal stuff. Joe Budden is 27 year old American rapper, totally unknown for me – but this may be caused by my lack of knowledge and interest in this music genre. Anyway, he released only 1 album so far and this new one will be his second. Entitled strangely as “The Album Before The Album”, this album offers a slightly different rap with strong lyrics and a lot of freestyle passages.
Joe Budden is known for his energy, his eclectic lyricism and his emotional wordplay, all of which are showcased on The Album Before The Album. Budden unleashes various thoughts through freestyling, like not fitting in on “Outcast” and helping those less fortunate on “Broken Wing.” He also designs his own mash-up as he borrows the hook and rhythm from “Outside” and flows over it, appropriately entitled “Staind” for the metal band he borrowed the idea from. Budden also adds some heat for the clubs with bangers like “Pop Off” and “Stuntin’,” featuring Coke. With such high energy and creative ideas, it’s clear Joe Budden treated The Album Before The Album like he’s about to release an actual major label album.
Joseph “Joe” Budden (born August 31, 1980) is an American rapper, Born in Spanish Harlem, New York City but lived in Jersey City, New Jersey for most of his life. He has released one album, the self titled Joe Budden. He has worked with artists such as LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Christina Milian, Marques Houston, Angela Via, Fabolous and Israeli rapper Subliminal and has been involved in feuds with rapper The Game and G-Unit. Budden’s lyrical abilty is regarded heavily underrated in many rap circles, however the rapper maintains a strong internet fanbase.

XD
Gah, dont like music (None that is posted)… I come here for the SCENE releases… Bah nvm… The more posts the better.
one of my fave songs from joe is “walk wit me”. really showcases his ability. great rapper. cheers for the post.
WoooW! Thanks a lot Martin. I enjoyed his first album. Lets try this one!
wrong album pic
, looking forward to hear, he’s a good rapper
Its called “Album before the album” because its NOT his album! Its just a mixtape to keep the fans happy until the real major label CD comes out. Its getting more and more common for rappers to do that these days.
Who listens to this trash? What a pile of shite!
Why are they ripping in 128kbps still?? WTF?
BEst rapper out.
Stop sleeping and judging him till you actcually hear his music.
Martin thanks for the post. For all those haters like NuZZ, Sinu,and many more stop cryin when a good release like this comes around. Like Martin said “Here’s something for all fans of rap music, after the loads of metal stuff.” So right there it should let you know that Martin is tryin to cater to the most popular genres and please everybody. Look i know this site was founded for movie and software releases but you gotta change with the times. Plus, i dont think u just watch movies and play with software all day. I believe theres some culture in your life enough to take some time and listen to new tunes. Thats all im sayin. From geek to another geek peace!!!!
One of my favorite rappers. If you guys dont know much about him I suggest downloading the songs “dumb out” or “three sides to a story” which is on this cd. Two of the best songs I ever heard.
What the Hell are you hypocrites who are defending this trash doing here? If you so respect this shite ‘music’ (in a loose sense) then why are you here potentially criminally downloading/stealing it for free?
If you like your music and respect the artist then buy the CD not steal the music
Idiots (probably American idiots at that)
thanks for this release, joe budden is 1 of my fav’s def looking foward to this
for all the ppl who like his mainstream stuff i notice that the song “fire” hasnt been mentioned yet, def a solid song
Just incase you guys dont feel like waiting. Heres the link.

Ok. for all you close minded simpletons. Lemme clear the smoke.
Sinu, you’re definitely way off on this entire subject.
This is not an Album.
Its a MIXTAPE. Meaning, That it is released FREE OF CHARGE, for PROMOTIONAL USE. So downloading this would not be stealing.
Also, the reason you dont like this music is because you’re too close minded. You assume all rap is the same. Plus i doubt you could understand and relate with his lyrics. The man is rapping in the realest sense.
And for those who enjoy Budden, Check out his other Mixtapes entitled MOOD MUZIK 1 and MOOD MUZIK 2. Both can be found on Mininova.org soon to be on Demonoid.com.
