Raekwon and Redman want Joe Budden to know he doesn’t want this beef he created with Method Man.
Wu-Tang’s own Raekwon recently came to the defense of his fellow Wu member Method Man and even warned Joe Budden about his recent comment. If you didn’t know, Budden recently challenged Method Man’s rap skills after he viewed the results of Vibe’s “Best Rapper Alive” list. “I was hurt by Joe’s comment,” Rae explained. “He seems like a cool dude, but I don’t appreciate him going at Meth like that. [Joe Budden] must’ve been feeling himself. You don’t play a legend who, like Method Man, did a lot for hip-hop…Joe bit off him anyway. When you listen to ‘Pump It Up,’ real n*ggas know where that flow came from. I’m not a battle rapper, but I will skin a n*gga, anybody. And, in my opinion, he isn’t better than Meth, never. You gotta watch what your mouth. Joe was out of character.” Raekwon even launched a website called BetterThanJoe.com that features diss tracks going at Joe Budden asking readers of it “You’re Better Than Joe Budden?”
Redman recently weighed in on the whole Method Man / Joe Budden issue. Recently Redman told Ed Lover (while visiting his Power 105 radio station) “I just laughed at it at first. I’m a Jersey dude and he a Jersey dude so he already knows the business,” Redman continued “I know my man [Method Man] got this. If he needs me to step in, I’m in. I’m already in it anyway. Its gonna stay on the rap level too.” Budden continues to stand by his comments. “That’s how I feel. It’s my opinion and I’m entitled to it,” Budden said. “Its not like I said, I’ll chop his head off and that’s the end of it. I said, “I’ll chop his head off and I’m willing to prove it.” Method Man recently said “I would love for him to say ‘I’ll chop his head off’ face to face.” Meth contined “He needs to come see me face to face. I don’t want none of that back and forth on the internet.”
