Before Joe Buddens was parading around New York and Jerz proclaiming how dope he was, he made dope music. I think it's generally agreed that his Mood Muzik series is one of hip hop's best. It's no DJ Clue or Doo Wop, but it's that NY boom-bap with those introspective Joey rhymes that keep you listening.
In terms of history, the first Mood Muzik was the one that created all the hype, and the second one (this one) went down as classic in the minds of almost all that heard it. Obviously, the third edition was a bit of a letdown in comparison to the second one, but still a stellar tape.
If you're one of those people whose only heard Joe Budden's newer material (from Halfway House through Slaughterhouse), one listen to this tape should explain why the man used to be held in such high regard.
