He’s definitely limited–which is why he’s a good fit in Slaughterhouse. Neither him nor Ortiz, nor Royce, nor Crooked I will ever record a hit single, their best bet is to combine fanbases, make niche music for underground heads, and accept it.

It’s not like El-P and Aesop Rock are attempting to do auto-tuned dance songs.

I suppose it’s unfair to evaluate Joe Budden strictly on the basis of Pump It Up, but it is telling, or a problem, that he’s totally incapable of making anything for the radio without devolving into 2nd-grade-level bullshit. Remember the first time The Growth was supposed to come out and the first single was going to be ‘Gangsta Party’ f. Nate Dogg? Maybe that’s just his misguided assessment of what you need to do to make a hit (and it is misguided, think of all the similar mixtape punchliners who have made pretty clever punchline-laden hits), but I see it more as a real limitation he has. I’ve just never bought into this, like, “somehow the label held a gun to his head and made him record ‘Pump It Up,’ so let’s pretend it doesn’t exist and isn’t, in fact, the only song the public knows him for” theory.

I don’t know how I feel about this blog getting cited in the VIBE top 50. I feel it’s gonna devolve into “EM MERCED THEM ON DAT SHIT!!!! G-UNIT 4 LIFE FREE YAYO” up in here. blowin’ up.

Nah that’s out, but congrats.

Since I live in Baton Rouge, I heard “Wipe Me Down” about six million times at bars and parties, and hated every second of it. Then one night, I absolutely loved it. Naturally I had been throwing down cheap whiskey all night, but now I’m happily onboard.
