Is the current best rapper out, and in my opinion probably the greatest ever, I'm just wondering if anyone shares these views and if you don't please explain why you think he isn't.
Oh and inb4 the whole buttons joke and stupid remarks, let's have a good debate

Troll harder.
Joe Budden does have a lot of different approaches to tracks, i know a lot of his music is emotional, granted, but thats what makes him so special, he puts his life and soul into his music and it shows, for me he just gets better and better with time, which is quite amazing for an artist to keep advancing after so many years. for example his most recent tracks are amazing:
he RIPS this track. "so many people looking for validity, thats the wrong search if whats lost is dignity"
Just a exercise track i guess, still really good "So we even I'm in love with her rear and her pussy, and she in love with the idea of what i could be"
Now going back to MM4.5, 'Downfall' is probably my most favourite song from Joe Budden, the raw emotion and how he makes you feel on this track is immense, i relate to a lot of his music so maybe thats why i love it so much but if you don't listen to any of the above tracks and have not heard this then i suggest you give it a listen:
'"The forecast shows a downpour, y'all just made god cry praying for my downfall"
He is currently top 3 minimum and I would have him in the top 3 of all time as well. He puts out a good amount of music and I'm never disappointed with his tapes. Every tape has multiple quality tracks and he has a lot of replay value for me as well. I'd consider putting him at number one right now and second of all time to Em considering entire careers.
I could listen to Black Cloud, Stay Schemin' (Freestyle), No Idea, When It All Implodes, the Ordinary Love Shit series, his verses on pretty much every Slaughterhouse track, and more, over and over again, and that's just his more recent work.
