Joe Budden - Short Summer
Artist: Joe Budden
Featuring: Emanny
Producer: Beewirks
Album: Mood Muzik 4 Mixtape
Label: eOne
In a game full of narcissists, no one likes to talk about himself more than Joe Budden (ok, expect for Diddy). Lucky for us, New Jersey’s most suicidal rapper also happens to be one of the best lyricists alive. Come on, how many other emcees would you listen to an eight minute track like Short Summer from? Produced by Beewirks, whose decision to rock out at the end of the track is responsible for a large chunk of the track’s substantial running length, and featuring a hook from Emanny, true to form Joe packs Short Summer with rewind worthy lines, including a biting Brandy car crash reference, and some of the best NBA-related bars I’ve ever heard: in addition to Chris Duhon and Ray Felton name drops, we get gems like “Lebron was king until the pressure got him weighed (Wade).” Goddamn. That’s all, just damn. Short Summer is the first leak from Budden’s hotly anticipated and currently unscheduled Mood Muzik 4 mixtape, which given Joe’s unpredictable history will drop sometime between tomorrow and never.

As Nathan said in his blurb above, Joe is one of the best lyricists in the game today. Ideally, I don't like to sit and listen to an 8-minute song for enjoyment, but Budden has that ability to make you think you might miss something great if you don't listen.

This is awesome, instrumental is just perfect. I mean, nobody can really knock it. Hook works, and Budden goes hard. I am in love with it. On loop at the moment. Great job.

Joe Budden is starting to become one of my favorite lyricists
He comes with some very good verses. I would have liked for it to be shorter. I wouldn't have a problem with the length is there was something going on after the 5th minute. Banger And yea that Lebron line was absolutely crazy |

Joe Budden is one of the most consistent in the game now. I could hear this getting some radio spins if it was a bit shorter. Emmany sounds alot like Ne-Yo to me on this. Great vocals, and verse. Solid 4-Stars!

Like a lot of folks, that instrumental at the end could have been cut by two minutes and I wouldn't miss it, but these bars by Budden are crazy. The Brandy line, the Lebron line, the Mel Gibson line, Joe's got an absolutely sick pen game. Like Z said, you listen to every second of a Budden track because you're scared you'll miss something.

This is CRACK RIGHT HERE! JERSEY STAND THE F*CK UP!!!!
Joe Budden went in on this track. The beat is nice and laid back, but it makes his words even that much more powerful. Easily a BANGER!

Fantastic song. Dope verses, nice hook, and the guitar solo is a great touch despite it being another 3-4 minutes on top of the songs already decent length.

Very solid song!!! Joe's verse's really ride the beat gracefully. Up-and-Comers pay close attention. If the music is not speaking to you, before you start writing....stop writing. period. ATL.
