It seems label issues are preventing Slaughterhouse from joining Eminem’s Shady Records. Joell Ortiz has expressed his displeasure with the label situation and now Joe Budden is doing the same. Budden recently replied to allegations made by Amalgam Digital’s DJ Next, who said Joe Budden has lied to his fans, other labels and Amalgam.
Next hit his Anyextee Twitter account to express his side of the story, claiming Budden used his budget to purchase a Mercedes Benz for Tahiry before their public break up and adding that Joey has lied to his fans.
“I set this company up as a platform to help propel artists. If our intention was to hold him back, we would have NEVER signed the “side-artist” agreement allowing him to record with E1 for the first [Slaughterhouse] record. We starved so he could eat. He lied to his group, he lied to his manager and he lied to his fans. He’s also lied to me. “
“I’ve helped him more than you can imagine. Beyond just our business relationship, I went out of my way to help him and he screwed me.”
He went on to say that Budden told fans he is suing the label only because “he’s on the verge of that happening to him for stealing,” but says he’s willing to terminate the contract as long as money is exchanged. “If he gives us the money back, I’ll terminate the contract and he is free to go. I’m not here to hold anyone down but I refuse to be ganked.”
Next followed this up by pointing out that part of Budden’s budget went towards a new car for Tahiry and made a joke about the incident.
“Apparently, buying his ex-girlfriend a new Benz RIGHT before she left him was more important than using his budget to record the album. He has not turned in Great Escape, he also owes one more album, and its his own fault why Escape Route sounded the way it did.”
“If you want to know where The Great Escape is, Tahiry is driving the new men in her life around in it.”
He’s more recently added a post claiming he has “99 problems but a mouse ain’t one,” likely referring to Joe Budden’s “Mouse” tag.
Budden replied to these statements with his own, according to Def Sounds.
“First of all, to fully understand [Next], you’d have to know him. He’s a little off in the way he thinks, which I am also, but just to try and hint at what I’m talking about, he believes he’s part of some Illuminati shit and can control the president’s moves with one phone call,” he said before adding his side of the story.
“Dude wanted to sign Slaughterhouse, didn’t happen…I signed a two album deal after [Padded Room], one digital, one physical with a $140,000 advance all in, 80 to be paid up front, 60 for them to hold to pay producers, mixing, etc. Said contract was two pages, one being the actual contract, one being the sheet to sign…”
“Slaughterhouse signs to E1. Dude then calls E1 and my lawyer saying that I’m not legally allowed to do that album because I’m signed to him in an exclusive capacity and sends over a contract the size of a book with my signature, stating all types of crazy ass shit. They’re in charge of my merchandise, publishing, etc, & its a three album deal. I claim I didn’t sign that bullshit and there will be no Escape Route until this matter is cleared up. He calls to beg for Escape Route and in exchange will clear me to record the Slaughterhouse album while we clear everything up (only way this could be done considering both Escape Route and the Slaughterhouse album were way behind schedule because of all this).”
“He puts out Escape Route on the same date as Slaughterhouse (seems small, but dude had already been threatening Royce and Joell’s managers with dropping a Budden project in close proximity to anything they do, which no one wanted, naturally). E1 wants to re sign Slaughterhouse but here comes Shady [Records]. Next then goes and cuts some deal with Alan [Grunblatt] (E1). What that deal included, no one really knows for sure, but they got a shitload of money under the promise they’d be able to deliver Budden product (remember, E1 wants Budden desperately). So now a hard copy of Escape Route comes out to everyone’s surprise and is doing great, generating A LOT of money that I haven’t seen a dime of, along with Padded Room, Halfway House and Mood Muzik royalties.
“I decide I’m not handing in Great Escape (to E1 who’s expecting it because that’s what they paid Amalgam for basically) until Amalgam has absolutely nothing to do with Budden. Keep in mind, when I did try to hand Great Escape to Amalgam, I told them they needed to start paying these producers with that other [$60,000] before we start losing records (this is back when we were trying to “clear” everything up). They said, “Hell no,” [and said that] I better pay them from the 80k I got, the 60 ain’t movin ’til the album’s out. I also offered to pay them, in full, [$140,000] to remove themselves from any situation of mine, didn’t happen. E1 offered them 200k to do the same. I was told, “Dude is crazy. He’s coming back with astronomical numbers…”
“So now E1 is supposedly trying to buy that contract from them, but E1 also wants to keep that exclusivity part in there to have some control over the Slaughterhouse/Shady deal. Shady offered a buy out, they didn’t take it. Shady offered an override (which they’re negotiating now to my knowledge).”
“Bottom line, Amalgam forged a contract, probably [because] they knew their piece of shit company would fall immediately once I left. But that’s me guessing, who really knows why. So that, along with E1 trying their best to keep Slaughterhouse, is holding things up a tad bit. Take what you will outta that. I tried my best to help clarify without disclosing everything.”
To the Benz allegations, Budden also made a reply.
“If any of you have ever bought a car, Tahiry is leasing hers for $500 a month, which I put the down payment on (4K)…Since when did you ever need 80k to even buy a car? *Jordanshrug*”
Fans will recall the rumors of Slaughter signing with Shady first came up after the group was seen behind Eminem in last year’s “Forever” video.
FIRST!!!!!
good job buddy, your t-shirt is in the mail
Ok….this first shit has to stop. It was retarded the first time I saw it and it’s still retarded after a million times
As long as Button has been in the game, he should have known better, how can you be that stupid and not have your business, and contractual shit in order, and he can get the fuck out of here Escape Route aint moving no numbers
joe BUTTON LOLOL
He needs to button up, shut up, get it???ya dig???
i get it. your gay
i get it. your gay
@ CARSON, no homo, get off my dick and tell yo momma to jump on
u stupid fuck, escape route didnt move albums because it was barely put in stores. it wasnt under a major. Go check his downloads on the album his numbers are high for his own “self” promotion no label backing him. check his youtube views too and read comments per song. i GUARANTEE the great escape will do fine and have labels chasin. last 2 digital albums were solid
@ J FAB, im not checking all that bullshit, im not a fan like you, if it aint in the store, if niggas from the D aint bumping it then why the fuck should I go searching for it, if its a flame then the shit would catch fire, LIKE I SAID SHIT AINT MOVE NO UNITS NIGGA!!!!!!!!
@ HRCMS
So basically what you’re sayin then, is you allow the major distributors and “niggas from the D” to shape your opinion on what’s good music and what ain’t? Wow…just wow. I do gotta hand it to you though, at least you’re honest enough to admit it…more than I can say for a lot of the other sheep out there…
THAT my friends, is why Hip-Hop’s become the shit sammich it is right now…too many followers, not enough cats with the balls to stand up and think for themselves. I’ve loved Hip-Hop since the mid-80s, and NEVER did I think I’d see this day come…and a VERY dark day it’s been, for the past few years now…it’s heartbreakin really…
http://realityreport-mlittle.blogspot.com
man this aint no beef.real nigga’s in the streets don’t bump this pussy shit.
i cant fuck a thick bitch when a nigga saying big words rapping to a dark beat.
pussy ass music make a nigga wanna pistol whip a bitch to sleep.bang bang shot em up in this bitch my nigga.if i shit on my self then the trap be booming in this bitch…haha…fuck all yall.fuck the forum and fuck the bitch that chocking on my dick as we speak…i love me a ghetto gagger..fuck!
i rap better than mr punching bag joe.
@ Malcom, no not saying my taste is limited to that, and not influenced at all, if that was the case I would be a Budden fan like all of you internet dudes, im just saying im not going to check to see how many downloads a nigga has, or be checking for him on youtube, and the reason hiphop is fucked up is cause niggas on the internet listening to shit for free, and free downloading rather then going to the store and purchasing it, if you all got off the computer and went out, maybe hit the club, you wouldnt have o rely on the computer to dictate what kind of music you like
And Malcom, i have no respect for a punk motherfucker like budden, gets the shit slapped out of him, lets a bitch shit on him, maybe you got something in common with this pussy ass niigga, but i aint cut like that, and dont care to listen to the words of a punk ass bitch like him, no homo
I dunno, I’m gonna reserve judgement on this til I hear DJ Next’s rebuttal…but right now the scale’s tippin in Budden’s favor, for the simple fact he actually broke the situation down while Next was mainly on some ol middle school clownin shit. “99 problems but a mouse ain’t one.” C’mon son…
http://realityreport-mlittle.blogspot.com
Wow, this is building up to be a VERY BIG arguement… Hope Joey can resolve all this, cuz that would b more BS added to Joey’s career..
I like how Joe broke downt he real numbers, about time somebody kept it real in this fake a$$ industry
myspace.com/fandf
Slaughterhouse/Shady would be soooo siiiiiiick!!!! imagine the music they would do!? NOBODY would fuck with them….no underground rapper, no canibus, NOBODY!
At least now we have actual confirmation that Shady and SH are working summin out, up until this it was all speculation and heresay……….
Hopefully it works out, I think these guys could at least go gold with Em leading the way
co-sign
Fuck all this yap! I want that Great Escape album now Joe!!!!
wow, so 10 years later Royce is back on Shady but he can’t release an album because Koch? hahaha Ain’t life a bitch
This guy really gets no respect from anybody, everyone shits on this nigga, he a real fucking punk
yeah he sure is.He’s lien by the way,
he paid the full amount for the car.
I got it like that.
=)
you know you’re a company is shit when you’re fightin to keep buddens on the label. hahah!
LOL, I’ma a budden fan but thats true…..
Budden is my nigga but thats hilarious lmao
Once again, economics ruins hip-hop
this guy doesn’t know what the word ‘economics’ means
Once again, politics ruins hip-hop.
*fixed.
Do you really beleive what Budden is saying? When has budden ever told the truth?
Cosign
Well, I can tell you straight up, that labels (especially the smaller start up labels, do shady shit all the time. Hell the L.O.X. originally signed a deal with Puffy to literally be on Bad Boy for LIFE and not get 100% of their publishing and royalties. Joe, Slaughterhouse, and all you wanna-be rappers out there need to have really good lawyers look over your paper work.
slaughterhouse and eminem cant wait
I’ll be Suge Knighting niggas….. lol
I’m riding with Budden on this. The production on his Amalgam albums are absolute shit so it’s easy to see no producers was getting paid. Amalgam is the modern day “Jay Jerkin’ Niggas”. Fuck Wayne, Free Budden and the rest of Slaughterhouse.
let me find out hip hops turnin republican
Budden is the most fraudulent mc in the game…
almagam actualy provides a platform for starving artists like joey and saigon to get material out when they spend years on the shelf at majors its a shame the artists on it dont like it
Joey nor Saigon saw a dime from Amalgam. Saigon gets his change from The Wire and Joey gets his from mixtapes.
fuckin a i want that great escape already dammit
man cmon joey didnt u learn from def jam! get this right! and be carefule signing wit shady as well
joe budden sucks lol word life dudes weak
shut the fuck up.u dont kno rap if u u think budden is weak. and if u dont like da nigga what the fuck u reading this shit 4 dumb ass
another clown who prolly on lil wayne n drakes dick…..joe budden is a beast…and if slaughterhouse go to shady….GAME OVER….cuz there wont be a label ut there fuckin wit shady if it got g unit n slaughterhouse n eminem on the same fuckin label…wit dre as the producer…oh my fuckin god itll be a WRAP!
let me guess ur favorite rapper is lil wayne who wines and moans in every song and makes words up to have em rhyme lol if u dont know real rap then either cut ur fingers off or give up on typing dumb shit
Joell (nice flow, kinda slackin lately)
Royce (been good lately, but has had problems with consistency in the past)
Crooked I (honestly dont know much about him, but like what i hear)
Joe Budden (alright bars, but drop the gangster ish, it aint you.. pump it up lookin ass dude)
in that order (my opinon)
really? can people stop using pump it up as a diss? please? it’s really not funny anymore. (no serously) actually it stopped being funny about a year after the 200th unoriginal, uninformed genius decided to use it as a joke.

the music business is very messy…hard to ascertain who’s account is accurate!

http://www.myspace.com/panhandoelrcorp
slaughterhouse stock is on the rise.
shadyhouse
if slaughterhouse get with shady records that will be an amazing project. Em and dre beats with some of the best in the game.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE
I been sayin’, that if SH gets with Dre and Em, they will flop. Dre hasn’t put out a bangin’ track for damn near a decade. He’s mad overrated.
@SAMURAI36 WTF dude? Raekwon’s song Catalina off OBFCL2 was fire.
who cares. lol. joe budden my nigga tho.
THANX 4 THE INSIGHT..BUT YOU COULD’VE SAID LESS..AND MADE THE SAME POINT..YOU MAY HAVE JUST RUINED THE NEGOTIATIONS..PROBABLY NOT..BUT YOU TALK TOO MUCH..SAVE THAT STORY FOR A SONG..AFTER THE DEAL IS DONE..DUNNY..
Joe Budden always makes it seems like he’s the victim and everyone is against him.. Fuck You Joey…!! And that little ass C Class Benz you bought that bitch..you are lieing ass…$4,000 down dont get you a $500 payment on a new Benz even if its a C Class on a lease..!!! $4,000 may just cover the taxes not the down payment….We all aint stupid negros on here Joey…!! Fuk you..!!
Cosign, this dude is cake, I dont even see how niggas even listen to this punk, I guess a lot of dudes on this site is cut just like him so they can relate, I cant!!!!!!!!
emcees have been doing this forever.
taking money from the label then spending it on random shit. label asked the artist to use the money to make some music happen & the artist says what money? haha
if i got any money from a label it would be used for beats, studio equipment, room for a show, plane ticket for a show, etc. not for anything else! but music.
Word.
Joey needs to get his shit together. It’s most likely some truth coming from both sides as well as some bullshit. 4k down on a base model C class would get you to 500/mo. range on a buy with tier 1 credit and 72 month financing. He bought her a car with his budget and he’s still paying for it. Joey, you are an ill nigga for spending any of your recording budget to get a bitch a car, that money’s already spent basically. The label is on some ill shit because they could’ve been bought out of the contract, Shady/Aftermath release the album(s) owed and get a cut of the residuals from that. On top of that, i’m sure they can ge reembursed for the money they spent on Joe Budden just so they can get the fuck out the way.
He said $500 a month on a “Lease” not on a 72 month buy…Joe is full of shit..you cant believe anything he says.He prolly bought it outright for her…Hes whipped….l see this lame every few days and he always on some everybody holding him back kinda shit…
Say it ain’t so, Joe.
ha ha ha this nigga joe buddens is a bitch. he takes more L’s than any rapper ive seen. jay sonned him, def jam sonned him super hard, melle mel sonned him, ransom sonned him, saigon sonned him, mef sonned him, deck sonned him, chef sonned him, raes homie fist sonned him, game sonned him, 50 sonned him, has this nigga ever been victorious? the sad thing is, he starts the shit, and still gets ate up. bitch ass nigga buying birds cars with his little advance, and she suckin a new nigga in it now. he simpin outta this world. he can rap a little bit, but son is a bitch. he aint dope enough for me to ignore all this.
first you got lames that dont know real rap calling buddens corny when hes easily top 10 ever and dont reply if your going bring up anything that not to do with his lyrics mm1 mm2 mm3 er sh pr all classics if lames actually herd them i can quote buddens for days and broke dudes stop bringing up benses and bitch dudes stop bringing up fighting
Joe Buddens is far from the top 10 ever..!! what are you 12 yrs old…Joe aint even top 50..l can name 100 rappers and Joe buddens will not be mentioned and l am from NYC…dude is a brick with a few punchlines…aint nobody really feeling this lame since 2003 with “pump it up”….Joe Buddens top 10..lol.lol…he dont even believe that..!!
@ action pack
start your list then, and we will all laugh. you probably can’t even name 100 rappers.
also i hate when people talk punchlines, thats what rap is punchlines, and stories thats it. every rapper uses punchlines, that keeps rap relevant to things going on in the world at a certain time.
if all you know is pump it, you shouldn’t even be talking. listen to 10 min. off that cd then tell me joes trash. plus mood muzik 1,2, and 3 were critically acclaimed.
go listen to your commercial ass gay-z.
all you fuck niggas on here talkin shit bout Budden sound like a bunch of school girls, real talk. You faggots just say the shit you’re sayin cause other niggas or other rappers have had beef with him. somebody said 50 sonned joey? the fuck outta here. 50 is trash and has always been trash (minus many men). only reason he’s famous is cause he survived nine shots. oh yea, and the nigga sells water. anyway, budden is one of the best lyricist out. all you homos would know that if you actually listened to the shit he spits. Just like wayne. niggas just join the hate band wagon. fuckin wierdos. I bet if any of you haters saw wayne or buddens in the street, you’d be at a niggas dick quick with a pen and pad tryna get an autograph or with a camera posin next to em. then youd put that shit on myspace or facebook or twitter or some shit talkin bout “yea! me and my nigga wayne” or “me and my nigga Joe”. bunch of fuckin stans.niggas just love to talk shit. Blame katt wiiliams i guess. He put it in your minds that its ok to hate. grow the fuck up.
i believe what budden says about amalgam. i know some people who use to work there and dj next is a shady motherfucker. did you know they were the main suppliers of bootleg cd’s all over europe? i heard they paid the game like 70g’s to do the track with budden. the new kid they are trying to push young riot sucks. they think he will be the next lil wayne. the nigga has a huge pimple on his face in his video. why dont they get him some clearasil before they get him a chain. fuck amalgam for fucking up slaughterhouse’s deal.
i’m a joe budden fan…. but this makes kno since
i guess amalgam only got young riot , j-haze and peedi crakk
I thin you’re all a bunch of fags. Who the fuck cares about any of your negativity? What you all think hasn’t stopped anyone you’re talking about from doing anything they’ve done. So just get a roll of duct tape, tape your cocks back by your asshole, sew your pussies shut, and jump off a cliff.
Really.
The world will be much better when it’s rid of all closed-minded uninformed cunts.
Thanks for your time.
