rolling autogoon thread 2009

yeah im kinda glad he disappeared

i was reading that illmatic piece in xxl @ the 7-11 & after telling me i wasnt allowed to leaf through the magazines the woman at the counter saw Cam on the cover and was like "what happened to Cam'ron!!!?? wheres he been??"

i dunno, for some reason it's been long enough now that i'm in the mood for new cam stuff again.

^^this... i like "i hate my job" cuz it's fun and lighthearted but not like a song about i.b.s.

Friend: Is that the real Noreaga?
Me: Yeah. He owes me a hundred favors.
Friend: What?

most incredible

i like "I Used To Get It In Ohio" cuz its all mercenary & midwest gangster sounding

i don't think his style is more "out there"; it's that he doesn't have much of a discernible hook on these. They feel roughly structured and oddly unpolished compared to the killa season tracks.

cam is killing it

wow how is juelz gonna feel about that

i don't know but how do I get a "Preview of the Matrix 12's 'Elz of the Week" column

the subtle breihan namedrop totally outted him

m@tt i didn't cam needs to not make music like he used to...if anything i'm glad he isn't chasing any current trends...i was responding to the idea that his new stuff is "out there" in any way.

maybe i'm the only person in the world who never missed cam, can't get that excited for the return someone who was on a downward slide for years before he went away (cf Kingdom Come)

xpost okay forks that makes a lot more sense, thanks for clarifying

i literally just cannot give 2 shitz about cam

like

i came around on "we fly high" & still f with dipset anthem vs the simpsons (theme) but

checking for new cam shit its just a mental block like peeing in front of dudes or some shit i can & will not give a fuck

seriously, i'll wait for an album. who gives a shit about dipset drips and drabs

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

i give a fuck about the fact that i can't pee in front of dudes (no easy zings)... pretty big impact on my life when i try to pee in public

i like where this thread is going

I thought it was only observational comedians who couldn't pee in front of toher guys?

outed

hey j0rdan did you hear that new killa cam LEAK? i can hook u up with a STREAM

JOE BUD8=======DEN

who gives a shit about dipset drips and drabs

A LOT OF PEOPLE OKAY

i mean dips in '09 are clearly no joell ortiz/joe budden/joe schmoe amalgam entertainment rap but they're still releveant

i've been wondering tho... xxl cover two months in a row?

dripset

i'm really disappointed that the phrase "amalgam digital" hasn't become a koch-level insult yet

NYC still loves rap

xxp

haha i get sent the promo for budden's first amalgam release and the press release brought so many lols

I've never heard someone say they like joe budden in real life. ever.

and I've heard people reference most lame-ass internet rappers

i don't think the bar for relevance of an XXL cover subject can be lowered any further after Foxy Brown

j0rdan if the press release is online anywhere plz point it out

i think i still might have it, it's not the press release for PADDDED ROOM but for the pre-mixtape or something

August 5, 2008

For Immediate Release:

AMALGAM DIGITAL TO RELEASE JOE BUDDEN’S SOPHOMORE LP, PADDED ROOM, ON OCTOBER 28th 2008

Joe Budden has kept a relatively low profile since his self-titled debut album went gold in 2003, earning him a Grammy nomination for best male rap solo performance. Despite his successful debut, Budden’s sophomore album sat on the shelves at Def Jam for nearly four years.

Despite the numerous setbacks, Jump Off Joe Budden kept busy during those years, accumulating a massive internet fan base by releasing the critically acclaimed “Mood Muzik” series of mixtapes, collaborating with artists such as Fabolous, Clinton Sparks, and Joell Ortiz, and engaging in highly publicized feuds with other rappers like Jay-Z, The Game, Prodigy and Ransom.

After finally cutting ties with Def Jam in 2007, Budden signed with Amalgam Digital, the booming independent responsible for launching hip-hop’s first genre-specific digital retail store. Amalgam promises to release Joe Budden’s highly anticipated sophomore album, “Padded Room” on October 28, 2008. The album will be available in stores worldwide in both physical CD and digital format. In addition, Joe and Amalgam are offering two bonus tracks for fans purchasing the digital version from the www.AmalgamDigital.com digital retail store.

The music video for the first single “Touch & Go” will air nationwide on all video outlets in Sept and features an onslaught of guest cameos.

Tracklisting and credits for Joe Budden’s Padded Room:

1.) Now I Lay

2.) Touch N Go

3.) If I Gotta Go

4.) Blood On The Wall

5.) Don’t Make Me

6.) In My Sleep

7.) Outcast

8.) I Couldn’t Help It

^^i mean the first sentence really brings it

Followed by this in December:
AMALGAM DIGITAL TO RELEASE JOE BUDDEN’S LONG AWAITED SOPHOMORE LP, PADDED ROOM, ON FEBUARY 24th 2009

Joe Budden’s self-titled debut album went gold in 2003, earning him a Grammy nomination for best male rap solo performance (“Pump It Up”). Despite his successful debut, Budden’s sophomore album sat on the shelves at Def Jam for nearly four years; a setback that most artists would not have survived; but most artists are not Joe Budden.

Despite numerous setbacks, Jump Off Joe Budden kept very busy during those years, besides years of legal wrangling and politicking very loudly for his release from Def Jam (which resulted in a very public feud with Def Jam’s then president Jay-Z) Joe was forced to rely on a then new and unproven method (Internet) to release music to his very loyal fan base and he did so by releasing the critically acclaimed and highly buzzed about “Mood Muzik” mixtape series; collaborating with artists such as Fabolous, Clinton Sparks and Joell Ortiz and in the process engaging in highly publicized feuds with The Game, Prodigy and Ransom.

After finally gaining his release from Def Jam in 2007, Budden immediately became an A-List free agent and was courted by a slew of major labels. Always one to go against the grain, Joe circumvented traditional thinking and used his forward thinking mentality to sign with then upstart Amalgam Digital; the booming independent label responsible for launching Hip-Hop’s first genre-specific digital retail store. The move initially raised some eyebrows with the Hip-Hop populous, but Joe’s foresight was the guiding force behind the move; as Joe’s proactive use of the Internet and the response his Mood Muzik mixtapes received online (going from Nahright.com to your neighborhood in a single click), foretold a massive shift in the commercial landscape (coupled with the dramatic decrease of physical CD sales) and Joe was ahead of the curve in realizing that the Internet would not only be the guiding force where the masses would listen and decide upon what music and artists they liked, but also would eventually support and purchase. Fast forward to 2008 and Joe’s move seems even more revolutionary, as there has been a dramatic decrease of physical CD sales and Joe’s recent “digital only” precursor (Halfway House which was only available on Amalgamdigital.com and was the first digital-only Hip-Hop release employing both traditional marketing methods—radio, video, commercial radio, advertising campaigns, etc) to Padded Room debuted on the “Hot 200” sales chart---as only a strictly digital release. Halfway House also featured a track from Joe’s super-group, Slaughterhouse, (which also includes Joell Ortiz, Royce 5’9 and Crooked I) and a track from that group “Slaughterhouse” was recently crowned as one of the “80 Best Songs” of 2008 by Vibe Magazine (Jan 2009 issue). Further, Amalgam Digital is now a rapidly ascending record label with established stars such as Joe Budden, Max B and Peedi Crakk on its rapidly expanding roster and the labels shirts are quickly becoming a fashion statement.

Throughout his trails and tribulations with Def Jam and sparring with Hip-Hop’s heavyweights, Joe Budden has largely reinvented himself without losing what endeared himself to fans; his deep thinking lyrical brilliance (can anyone forget Joe’s brilliant “Who” trilogy?). In fact, with his “Joe Budden TV” videos going viral and becoming a staple on blogs worldwide, Joe has to a large extent become Hip-Hop’s “peoples champion” as Joe’s personality and “every man” personality transcends and fans can undeniably relate to his daily life (could a reality series be far behind?).

Joe’s relentless grind culminates on 2-24-09 with the release of his official sophomore LP Padded Room (which has already received rave reviews from XXL, Spin and Smooth Magazines) and the LP’s lead-single “The Future” featuring former adversary The Game is already burning up the Internet and the duo will also be filming a video for the track shortly.

In addition, AmalgamDigital.com also plans to re-launch the website store with a new design, enhanced functionality and new features in unison with the same date of Padded Room’s release. To celebrate the release of Padded Room and the site’s re-launch, Joe budden his record label, Amalgam Digital are offering fans exclusive hidden bonus tracks when the Padded Room album is purchased in digital format direct from www.AmalgamDigital.com

but yeah i can't hate on JB's first album, it had some jams. do any of y'all remember some weird hip hop industry special on VH1 in like early 2004 that had a bunch of segments about Budden working on his 2nd album and trying to come back quick after the first undersold? shit was funny then but i'm sure it'd be hilarious now.

when do the lolz start

^a zing from a butthurt joe budden stan
