Joe Budden Claims Greatest Mixtape Discography, Hip-Hop Community Reacts
In a recent episode of “The Joe Budden Podcast,” the New Jersey MC made a bold claim that has sparked controversy within the hip-hop community. When asked about who has the greatest mixtape discography, Budden confidently declared, “Me.”
While other names like Lil Wayne and 50 Cent were thrown into the mix by his co-hosts, Budden stood firm in his belief that his own mixtape catalog reigns supreme. He even went as far as to list himself among the top six MCs, alongside Jeezy, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Fab, and Jadakiss.
This declaration did not sit well with many on social media, with some users dismissing Budden’s claim and questioning his place among the greats. One user even went as far as to suggest that Nick Cannon has a better mixtape discography than Budden.
Despite the backlash, Budden’s assertion reflects his unwavering confidence in his own abilities as an MC. Known for his introspective and raw “Mood Muzik” mixtape series, Budden has always prided himself on his lyricism and vulnerability in his music.
While artists like Lil Wayne and 50 Cent have had legendary mixtape runs of their own, Budden’s self-assuredness in his own work is a testament to his dedication to the craft. Whether you agree with him or not, one thing is for sure – Joe Budden will always provoke strong reactions within the hip-hop community.
