Amalgam Digital vs. Joe Budden
Tuesday, March 23 2010 6:58 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True StoryHow’s this for role reversal. A rep from Amalgam Digital turned to Twitter today and called out Joe Budden for the delay of Great Escape.
Joe later responded to the label’s gripes. Here’s an excerpt of his rebuttal:
cliff note version – dude wanted 2 sign SH, didn’t happen…I signed a 2 album deal after PR, 1 digital, 1 physical w/ a 140k advance all in… 80 2 be paid up front, 60 4 them to hold 2 pay producers, mixing, etc.. said contract was 2 pages… 1 being the actual contract, 1 being the sheet 2 sign….





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot

All I got to say is… READ Joe Budden’s entire rebuttal before commenting. Check out, Def Sounds, up top.
There’s two sides to every story… Also remember industry rule #4080 – “record company people are shady.”
Anybody(company) tryna make a dollar outta something they have no love for(Hip Hop) Is always gonna be a shady as fuck when it comes to makin money off of those who do it for the love.
budden was whipped
tahiry gave him some ass and he spent all his money on her
@ B Digital….that clears up a great deal by reading Joe Buddens part. That’s what’s up. It’s always 3 sides of a story, His side of the truth, Their side of the truth and the Actual Truth.
I find it hard to believe that they put out a contract with all that in two pages. I man I have some contracts that are 2 or 3 pages long…you would think that a company handling a artist like Budden would hook a better one up. I find it hard to believe that a two page contract was done. But #$%^ whatever, it’s their story….tell it how you want.
[...] sleep, Mouse took to his social network device and expressed mo’ thoughts about the recent fuckery in his life and how he often feels misunderstood. Think I’m gonna give this guy a hug next [...]
But really Budden didnt owe them anything cuz he did the digital album and then did the physical album . Dude was ethering for no reason.
