Joe Budden hints at a return to rap after a motivational jab from Ransom, sparking debate over whether the mic still needs him.
Could Joe Budden be returning to the mic? A new clip just surfaced where Joe talks about jumping back into rap. Apparently, his longtime friend Ransom lit the spark—egging him on by saying something like, “You know you love rapping more than anything else!”
What’s wild is how much the game has changed. Honestly, part of me feels like he probably shouldn’t rap again. It’s kind of like Michael Jordan coming out of retirement (again). Rap today is a blood sport and not everyone survives the ring. And truthfully, I’m not even sure people would care anymore. They barely did back in the day. And let’s keep it real—rap sucks right now. That said, it doesn’t mean Joe’s lost his skill or his passion. He can still spit.
Look at Jadakiss. He’s doing the podcast thing too, but he never dropped the mic. He’s been consistently killing verses like nothing ever changed. No ring rust whatsoever.
If we’re being honest, there’s still a decent chunk of people who’d love to hear that raw Mood Muzik Joey again. Whether he answers the call or not… that’s the real question.
