Joe Budden’s Padded Room Pushed Back

Somebody posted a portion of the following statement from Joe in the comments yesterday, but here’s the full message. This makes me angry, but the new mixtape might soothe the savage beast.
“to those of you who have been patient enough to bear with me……
padded room started out as a transitional album for me, and amalgam as well, they knew very little about me and vice versa….. once the album was completed, both parties were so excited about the final product that we were both willing to do anything in our means to raise awareness, tho i’m not happy about it being pushed so far back, i do understand the method behind the madness…. we’ve got an album that i’m extremely proud of, and a lead off single that we’re both very happy with, but for those of you who are just as anxious as myself, i apologize…..
which brings us to “halfway house”…… 14 songs that have nothing to do with padded room…..(padded room will remain the same….)
i will be releasing a prequel of sorts in late october featuring about 14 new records, i then will do my best to get this big mike tape out in december, and somewhere in between i’m gonna have a conversation with royce, on wax, just to ask a few questions to the guy……just to help some of u out (only cuz i’m bored and the eagles are winning)….
what started as me stealing money, turned n2 an amazing album…
what i thought started as some broke, unknown label, turned n2 a more then capable means of distributing music……
what started at the august release date, turned n2 3 GREAT records that wouldn’t have been there if not for the push back….
what was touch and go, is now a way better/bigger song….
amalgam said lets move it to feb., i said kool, long as i can release new (new as in, i’m recording the bulk of it now, and have been since sat.), music in oct., 4 yall
the big mike mixtape i’m doing….. 4 yall, scratch that….. 4 us….i’m more for the fans then the majority of artists in the world, its a shame some of you rather attribute my def jam situation to laziness or lack of motivation….. and fyi, artists have absolutely nothing to do with release dates, thats a totally different machine concerning retailers…..
i’ve made money in this game off 2 songs primarily, and those same 2 songs continue to pay me to this day, so, subtract 2 from however many joe budden songs u have in itunes or where ever u store music, then think about some of the things u say in retrospect…..at the end of the day, haters will do their job, and supporters will do theirs..”
So yeah, the new date is February 24.
That Royce diss is definitely going to make things interesting.
Props to illRoots
Bonus: Joe Budden - Classic (Kickdrums Remix)

I know this doesnt have anything to do with this but i wanted people to see what wiz khalifa’s people said about kid cudi and wale
“Kid Cudi is a terrible live performer and will never be a legit artist. Wale has Mark Ronson’s money/connects behind him so he never has to worry about making a hit record or putting out a dope album.”
fuck wiz khalifa

of course not, niggas stay reading headlines only, not clicking links and then forming misinformed opinions. that’s the Nah Right way.
September 16th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Budden dropping another album on schedule sounded to good to be true. Now I have to wait till febuary to hear the whole “blood on the wall” joint? Neva mind, I don’t know why I put my faith in a dust head

Mad, but I think the wait will be worth it. When an artist drops mixtapes of a caliber that ethers most other’s albums, you can bet his actual LP will be amazing. Roll on Feb 24th

September 16th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
Ok, so im supposed to believe it takes nearly half a year, for this company and joe to promote a single they are proud of (that no one has heard) and a collection of songs, 6 mths to do that, come on people lets be serius here…eskay u can but im not buy this sh!t they pushin and no disrespect to joe b skills, but ur business skills are alligned with nas and ll cool j…see file and old spice, whats next nore and capone pushin brut
September 16th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Pretty big disappointment, but I was ready to shit all Joe before reading it… and he explained himself pretty well. But all that’s to say EVERY SINGLE THING he puts out frmo now until Padded Room better be SUPERB, because he’s been slipping big time. It’s cool to put up with bullshit when the artist is putting out high quality music, but Mood Muzik 3 was ehhhh, Joe’s production is weak, and he’s talking more than he’s producing.
September 16th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
lol…fuck all that “did you not read what he typed” bullshit…it all sounded like a bunch of plea copping to me, ESPECIALLY in light of the little round of interviews he gave barely a month ago where he essentially said what amounted to “The album’s done, I swear on my mother’s life the album will drop in October…if not heads are gonna roll at Amagalm”…fast forward a couple of weeks and now it’s “Oh yeah, the album got pushed back like 5 months…but it’s cool, I got a mixtape coming in a month”…yeah the fuck right…sure Bum Buddens…just like Mood Muzik 3 was coming soon for 2 and half years…smh, all that damn crying and whining he did while on Def Jam just to get dropped and still have albums delayed for a full year on a goddamn digital independent (remember Padded Room was supposed to drop last spring)…shit’s pathetic
September 16th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
On the bright side, after listening to BE2…I think we’re gonna get one hell of a battle between him and Buddens…Royce is spittin with an intense sense of disdain for other emcees, the smart early money is on him
September 16th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Joe Budden >>>>
September 16th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
haha…good shit…at least he’s gonna record some to hold over the fiends like myself…AND he’s gonna talk to royce…AND it’s not like royce ain’t gonna respond…the result is good hip-hop music all around…nothing wrong with that…this beef shit is actually fun for a fan when its between two talented people who don’t allow it to get out of hand(i.e. they keep it in the booth)…i’m pretty happy right now.

Joe Budden - Padded Room I saw Amazon had a pushed back date for Joe Budden’s Padded Room this weekend and could not believe it. Since then the listing’s been pulled entirely but Budden has addressed the situation and says things are much better than…

If you read he said he IS putting out a NEW album of NEW material in October, it’s just not going to be Padded Room. Then the Big Mike mixtape plus you might see a heated battle of two highly skilled chessmasters of MCing.

[...] Here’s the cover for Halfway House, Joe’s 14 track prequel to the now delayed Padded Room. This will be available through Amalgam Digital at some point in October. 2021 [...]
