But it does. Part of being a hip hop artists is being able to feel you, more than just hip hop fans. I'm tired of people saying album salesdon't matter, album sales is directly porpotionate to how many people really feel you. Especially now when fans can get their music for free, or only buysingles. If a person is willing to drop bread on an album now a days you are nice. Last new artist to go platinum? Kanye or Rick Ross(can't remember whocame first) Lupe didn't even go platinum and he will rap circles around Budden and thats real. Budden couldn't even take Hamilton on some spittingstuff, and honestly thats another of the catagories that makes a great Mc. It breaks down like thisOriginally Posted by philly5fan

There's oceans of talent out there that they are clueless about, but being better than the 80% of fans still at the surface makes them feel superior like they better than everyone. This is the same for Lupe fans only they are 6-7 feet deep, dudes managed to get their heads under the water but haven't learned to dive yet.
Well, once you been down to the surface and seen what kinda REAL talent is out there.... Budden ain't #!@$. He has no classics, and will simply go forgotten in the rap world.
You don't see nobody else crying over some stupid VIBE list or starting beefs every weekend... dude seriously has some problems. Fiending for attention like it was crack from this to his "Joe BuddenTV" even using his girl to get attention.... sorry Joe, unless you step in the lab and back up what you been saying, no one will care. Go on your grind like your buddy Crooked I (dude is more of a rapper than Budden ever will be, and had an attempt at his life and still got less attention than budden on NT)dude has mad classic material....just cuz it aint sell a mill doesnt mean it aint classic.....but you just seem mad, Budden must of took ya lunch money back in the day or something
2% of your grade is beat selection, Nas has horrible beat selections but still called the greatest
20% of your grade is flow
8% album sales, how many people are willing to buy your stuff
20% is your off the top skills is a huge part of being an Mc
43% Lyrical talent
7% hook making ability, if I can't listen to a hook I can't listen to a song, and it should progress the song
Joe probably gets
77%-beat selection
89%-Flow
56%-Album sales
56%-Freestyle
95%-Lyrics
86%-hooks
So to me Joe Budden gets an 81.04% B rapper at best
