Busta Rhymes Says Joe Budden Should Be ‘Slapped’ For Method Man Diss
Written by J.R. on May 23rd, 2009 in Busta Rhymes, Hip Hop, News, Hip-Hop Beef, Method Man, Redman, Joe Budden.

Rapper Joe Budden is in the mix of controversy for comments made about rapper Method Man on the Ed Lover Show on Power 105.1 claiming that he could beat Method Man lyrically. Now Busta Rhymes has stepped up in a response stating bluntly that Joe Budden deserves to be “slapped” for his comments.
Initially the question was brought to Method Man’s partner in crime, Red Man, regarding Joe Budden’s comments, in a video posted on the Internet, of lyrically being able to beat Method Man.
“I will cut that dude’s head off his shoulders…,” Budden later stated in a phone interview on the Ed Lover Show.
Following Budden’s phone call on the show, Method Man called in with his response citing he’s not a battle rapper, but he’d be glad to handle it face-to-face physically or lyrically.
“He’s a battle rapper. I ain’t never been known for battle rapping. But I tell you this, I meet any challenge from any challenger,” stated Method Man.
Meanwhile, Redman’s response, in another interview, simply made it clear that there would be no violence to follow his comments and that Method Man would handle it his way.
While Redman’s comment swayed away from violence, Busta Rhymes, on the other hand, felt that, while he doesn’t condone violence or any gangster type of beef, Joe Budden should be “slapped” simply for disrespecting Method Man as a man and for disrespecting hip-hop as a whole, in his opinion.
The branches of the lyrical challenges and comments stem from a voter’s poll entitled The Best Rapper Ever by Vibe which complied a list of hip hop artists paired up together who voters choose could beat each other lyrically.
This Best Rapper Ever list was the initial dispute of Joe Budden who claimed the he was easily better than half of the names on the list which most were simply wack and the compiler of the Vibe list should be ashamed of himself/herself.

Busta needs to be slapped for that album he just dropped haha. JOEY will lyrically murder method man. mood muzik 2 is better then any album method man has ever dropped. i grew up listening to wu. im a huge wu fan and always will be. in my era Wu ruled hip hop at one time. Im realistic though. What makes a rapper a good rapper, is how he can rap. the bars he spits. not his celebrity status or how many hits he has. Soulja boy has hits does that make him better then papoose who doesnt have hits? im not comparing method man to soulja boy. im just saying that budden will eat his face off lyrically

If your a fan of his first album than you have to be aware that his first album was probably his weakest effort thus far. Mood Muzik 1,2,3, his critically acclaimed mixtape series is much better than the first album was. Halfway house was great. Padded room was his only sub par effort to date. The slaughterhouse album is still one of my favorite albums this year. It might possibly be my actual favorite album this year. It’s either slaughterhouse or only built for cuban linx 2. ( both great albums ) especially compared to the music that these radio dj’s try to shove down our throats. I respect everything Meth has done. I respect that he is a legend in this game. In my opinion though, right now in the year 2009, verse for verse, Joe Budden is going to give you the hotter verse 9 out of 10 times. As a whole Meth has accomplished much more and is much more successful, we know this. When it comes to rapping and that beat comes on Joe Budden always brings it, an that is why i think he is a superior rapper. I respect everyone’s opinion on this though. The beef is squashed anyway. Rumor has it slaughterhouse is headed over to shady records. Im waiting to hear those four on a track with Eminem! Now that’s hip hop!
