Joe Budden on Signing With Another Major
DJ Booth has a new interview with Joey up. He speaks on his deal with Amalgam Digital, his shots at Def Jam and whether or not he’d sign another deal witha major label.
DJ Booth: Joe, considering the seismic difference in record sales from when you first jumped on the major scene, do you need to sign with a major label, or do you want to sign with a major label?
Joe Budden: No, no, not at all. It’s not a necessity, not at all. I was fortunate enough to have gone through the major label process and kind of have the inside scoop on some things, some information I wouldn’t have normally had. To go from a major to an independent, I don’t think it’s an easy transition. I’ve already got my core fan base that’s going to go with me wherever I go, throughout all of my travels. You don’t need to be at a major, not at all. Technology being the way it is, and record sales being the way it is, there are not too many things that you need to depend on a label for that you can’t go out and do yourself.
Amen to that. Mood Muzik 3: The Album drops tomorrow.

Late pass__is MM3.5 the same as MM3 with better sound quality? If so I need to get that because MM3 doesn’t sound right, I have to turn it way too high just to get the beats to knock, and at that point it’s like Budden are wayyyy too loud.
