Joe Budden - Black Cloud
Artist: Joe Budden
Producer: Zalezy & Megaman
Album: Mood Muzik 4
Label: eOne
Joe Budden’s Mood Muzik mixtape series has always been a personal favorite of mine. From the tortured genius of its second volume, to the raw emotion of the third, the Mood Muzik franchise has shown that hip hop listeners can’t resist hearing Budden’s burdens on wax. Now, with the highly anticipated fourth installment rearing its ugly head, it seems like Joey has taken a leaflet out of Kanye’s “Book of Emo Rap” and started a weekly song series, Mood Muizk Mondays, and the first record off that new series is the aptly-titled Black Cloud. Producers Zalezy and Megaman create a storming beat that perfectly paints the song’s message in dark, brooding, moody and angry colors. Double that with Budden’s lyrical angst (“I’m a different person / with nothing to overcome and I miss the burden”), along with the occasional Jason Williams joke, and you’ll end up drenched in the musical downpour that is Black Cloud. With excellently depressing joints like this, I am sure that fans will ironically be happy to see Mood Muzik 4 finally drop on October 26, digitally and November 9, in stores.

Solid timing for Budden to start this series, and the campaign for MM4, as the season is changing and the temps are beginning to drop and the sun is setting earlier and earlier.
Feeling downtrodden is when Budden is at his best lyrically, but this raw emotion and tone tends to get slightly depressing if you make it all the way through the six minutes of audio.

What can you really say about Budden at this point, he's almost a victim of his own genius. If anyone else dropped a record like this we'd all be losing our minds, but this is now the 1,074th song we've heard from Joe like this (approximately) and it's lost a little bit of its shine.
So compared to other rappers, 4/5 stars. Compared to other Budden tracks, this a 3/4. I'll round up.

This song as a concept is powerful, however I don’t think Budden’s lyrics are strong enough for it.

This is a pretty hot song by Joe Budden. He knows its not going to get him on the radio but hot nontheless. But he was wrong for the Jason Williams joke though.
