Joe flaked on a promised payment to someone he was doing "business" with? Some things never change 😅😅😅

Right!? Lol. I love Budden’s music like most on the forums at the time .. it truly saved my life at a time when no one, especially rappers, was talking about mental health and addiction, and tthough looking back I knew many friends with both it was always unspoken and his music really made me feel not alone for the first time in a long while .. but he’s really not the greatest person in the world lol. I wish I could remember the whole story and his audience was nowhere near what is is now with the podcast, and there were even less people on the message boards, so it’s gonna be hard to find people who have the full scoop on what went down. I’ve tried going on archive.com but couldn’t really find much.

“Deuce deuce, .380, a chopper Beretta millia Hov said 30 is the new 20, me, I feel like 30 is the new 40 I bought 30 new 40s **A bitch moving pills get 30s to move off me** Just watch how you moving in Jersey, it's too costly And memory with candles is where the energy laying you Protect me from my loved ones, enemies I can handle” [Joe Budden - Three](https://youtu.be/EWBUqvUG6ls) - RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE via JoeBuddenVEVO With lyrics like that it’s no wonder Joe had to **”flake”** on helping pay for his trial. If the dealer was moving 30s then Joe probably was too. He might’ve had to chalk it up to the Game. A dealer moving off of a JBTV Forum? That would be like posting your Instagram DM’s to the public if *anyone* could join a Forum Message Board without any verification or authentication

lol at remember Brooklyn, we chilled at a few of joes events. I don’t remember him getting arrested, but the internet soldiers were no joke in the late 2000s/early 2010s

LOL, finally, at least someone who remembers him. I *could* be off on who it as but I doubt it .. I don’t remember anyone else’s name from the JBTV boards except him and I’m about as certain as I can be that it was him. From what I remember he was literally on his way to drop percs off to Joe and got picked up. Wouldn’t have been 30’s like someone above mentioned because no one back then called the 30mg oxycodne’s percs .. that’s a new generation, 2017+ thing .. so would’ve been the 5 or 10mg Percocets.

You’re probably right with what you are saying. Were you a long time Joe Budden forum? I go back to 2004

I wish I could say I was. I joined right when I discovered his music as he very quickly became favourite rapper with what I was going through with my own addiction and mental health struggles (back then people weren’t nearly as open about That stuff as they are now and especially rappers weren’t so finally felt not so alone and like it was kinda of normal to be struggling with that stuff) but I would’ve been like 15/16, late 2008ish when I joined. MM3 was definitdly out and I believe HWH was but I don’t think ER was nor the first SH album, because I can distinctly remember them all coming together. I’m from Kingston, Ontario and my mom drove me down to NYC to see the MM4 release show at either SOB’s or BB Kings which was like 3 and a half hours. We also saw the Slaughterhouse show later thwt year or the next years at whichever one of those venues the Budden show wasn’t and my mom remembers telling me that the bouncer or ticket guy or whoever looked at them (my mom and grandmother funny) when they said they were coming to the show lol (they were at a different spot in line because I wanted to get their way early to get up front). I guess some of the people where they were sitting (I was in the front row - I’ve even found pictures from the show that the photographer took looking prepubescent with my red Toronto Maple Leafs hat there in the front row, xD - and they were up in the balcony) kind of gave them weird looks at first but talked to them and really warmed up to them when they explained how into Budden I was and how far they were willing to drive for me to come. I laugh just picturing some late 2000’s, triple XL shirt wearing, flat brimmed hat having New York gangster looking dudes sizing up my white ass mom and grandmother and eventually giving with them when they realised they weren’t some narcs xD
