#Joe budden no love lost review series

I am at a loss trying to describe the feeling this project is capable of evoking the music definitely speaks for itself here. Now, after what seems like a dozen tremendously entertaining, full-length, start to finish listen-through’s, I can confidently say, All Love Lost is Budden’s best work to date. Knowing that the purpose of the project was to be a prologue of sorts for his impending full-length project, my ears were Budden’s once again. Just as I was starting to accept that sad reality, seven-rays of hope became visible in the form of tracks on Some Love Lost in 2014. One, an honest, intelligent craftsman of the english vernacular and the other, a byproduct of a saturated industry built on expectations.įor awhile, I think most of us had thought that the Jersey City emcee had all but exhausted his emotionally riveting fuel.

Occupying opposite sides of the quality spectrum, these projects seemed to represent two different artists.

The classic, four-part, Mood Muzik series that trademarked Budden’s style which was rooted in his tenacity to create soul-baring music that revealed more about life than most artists can experience by the time their ‘greatest hits’ lands on the shelves - and then there was the incredibly underwhelming No Love Lost in 2013. Anyway, most fans will remember at least two things for certain. Just had to get that out of the way at the beginning here, it’ll make more sense by the end.
