Dear friends & subscribers, as you may already have guessed, Joe Budden is one of my favorite rappers and to me he's an added fresh air to the hip hop scene.
And he's equally unique in his own right. Plus the man is no chump, he's smart and very witty. I doubt anyone could win an argument against him, let alone rappers.
One thing that strikes me is that he's just a real life dude. Hip hop has been building rappers off bolstering their "realness", but no one really exposes their perspective and environment as comfortably as Joey. I'll always give him props for that.
One of his many subtle 'intelligent' moves was to air his life through blogtv. This just crushes the invisible wall that distances fans and their idol. It's a smart move by him, taking advantage of technology as well as giving fans an insight of his everyday life.
