Video: Joe Budden Addresses Padded Room Reviews

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Jessie Maguire talks with Joey about some of the reviews (specifically one at HipHopGame) and asks if he’s frustrated.

UPDATE: HHG’s Culture VI responds via YouTube comment:

damn, sorry joe. probably said it wrong. it sounded like you were venting a bit. like i said, it was like the last episode of the sopranos. not meaning you weren’t happy with things. just meaning all the ups and downs in your career – you’ve done a lot. probably should’ve reworded it.

the important thing is i thought the album was fucking fresh. great job on it. srry for the confusion

Padded Room in stores this Tuesday.

Shouts to my girl Jessie Maguire.

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Vigilante Season is upon us.

Showing the game his ’07 Papoose grind, nobody put more work in the street last year than the Silva Sirfa, and now he’s back with the top dawg to give everybody the project you’ve heard him hyping for a minute: QUARANTINE. All-new freestyles and original tracks like only the Waviest can. Owwwwwwwww

Bigavell officially breaks in his 2009 mixtape grind with this new solo joint featuring the kid Big Mike as they get it in Gain Green style on this official street CD from the Silva Sirfa. Let the 2009 mixtape wave begin.
