Joe Budden - Going Thru The Motions
Artist: Joe Budden
Producer: The Klasix
Album: Mood Muzik: The Box Set
Label: eOne
There are plenty of rappers who I might accuse of simply Going Through the Motions in order to line their pockets, rather than doing it out of love for the game—and a few who’d proudly admit to doing so—but Joe Budden is the last rhymesayer I’d suspect of sleepwalking through his bars. Though the Jersey mainstay’s latest feature, a bonus cut of his Mood Muzik boxed set, finds him taking a harsh and unforgiving look in the mirror, I have a feeling fans won’t begrudge Budden his ostensible failings. For one thing, his rhymes here are as dope and multifaceted as ever; with The Klasix’ bracing instrumental, a hard-edged arrangement accented with raucous vocal samples, the Slaughterhouse emcee takes a moment to put his past, present and future into perspective: “Spent so much time complainin’ about the hand I was dealt, that I damn near forgot how the mansion felt / Forgot what led me here, forgot my history, forgot I was an addict, forgot what that did to me.” This illuminating jam is just one of several bonus cuts included on Joe Budden’s limited edition (Only 100 will be pressed), autographed Mood Muzik boxed set, due out May 15.

The day that Budden actually just "goes through the motions" will be the day he retires. Which, considering his long hiatus after his debut release years back, won't be for a very long time.

#NJallDAY... Good delivery and flow by Joe as usual, but the beat by Klasix is pretty lame. It doesn't really bump and its a bit noisy at times... Lyrics carried this through though. Cool chorus too.

Easily a banger or classic if he had better production to jump in. For Joey, his slow was stellar as usual but a better beat could have carried this song a lil further.
