a tribe never sold shit compared to a lot of these trash dudes but they got classic upon classic and everyone knows them as a hip hop group & respects them regardless because they never sold out and put out game changing music. joe been tryna go commercial before and now, but always seems to attack the whole scene of mainstream for some reason. but he pertains to a certain group of ppl cause tbh, i could fall asleep to a whole Budden album/mixtape. there's no flare in son voice, half the time i can't focus on what he saying cause he just come off as boring & i've tried to give him his time of day but there's a reason he wasn't a big commercial artist. most ppl find him boring or just uninteresting tbh 50 went plat w/ the massacre and ppl thought he fell off then, j cole is a popular example of falling off before even dropping an album(he's like a poor man's drake now and he went gold and plat i believe), nas inspired more GOOD rappers in the scene than jigga and he sold way less to prove sales is overrated.

thats because to be honest budden isnt speaking to you. he has said many of times he is speaking to grown ups i mean have the shit he raps about you wouldnt understand bro. you are young so you understan the parting aspect and etc more then you do the life aspect of it. tbh you arent supposed to know it yet. but rap is supposed to be relatable it was used as a voice for people who was opressed and etc. a voice of the poor I mean it was originally all about struggle. now its about popping bottles and shit. budden speaks real shit that people relate to and ontop of that he has bars for days and def jam fucked buddens up
