Joe Budden-Ventilation

"Sometimes you gotta lose the fight if you tryin to win the war
I'm focused on tomorrow,
Done seein my friends in the rearview thinkin we really closer than we are"

"Maybe I'm in a relationship with bad karma
When I'm past the somber, maybe I attract drama
Undoubtedly my life is on some VH1 shit
Just addin some Salt N Pepa to reality"
-Joe Budden

Listener 1-"Aint this the guy who sang Pump-It-Up...son's garbage"
Listener 2-"Joey is underrated, MM3 was the best and Def Jam made a mistake dropping him"

As proven above, some music lovers base an artist's talent off of prior material instad of giving them a second chance or even listening to what the person has to say. If everyone was like the second listener Joe Budden may be respected as an artist that actually has something to rap about instead of what kinda car he drives, how his "swag" is turned on or how much jewelry he can wear at an red carpet appearance.  Joe Budden is as real as it gets, he drives no fancy car (ive heard he drives either a Camry or an Accord), he has baby-momma-drama like your average person, and has plenty of relationship problems that many could relate to including myself. He uses his music to vent his anger towards the industry and all of his personal problems rather than commiting a crime that could possibly send him to Rikers Island.
Some say his music is too emo, but i believe we need more artists like him.
