Joe Budden’s rollercoaster ride in the music industry didn’t stop at his Def Jam stint; it extended to his time with Slaughterhouse under Eminem’s Shady Records. In a recent revelation on The Pivot Podcast, Budden peeled back the layers of his fallout with Eminem and the subsequent disbandment of the supergroup.
The New Jersey native admitted, “In some instances, I maybe went about it the wrong way or expressed myself the wrong way. But the intent is always pure. The intent is always for the better of everyone. It’s never like a selfish act.” The revelation unveils the complexities of navigating artistic differences and contractual disputes within a group setting.
The demise of Slaughterhouse in 2018 left fans wondering what went wrong. Eminem, shedding light on the situation, shared, “There was definitely enough songs to put an album out, but for the most part, it wasn’t a complete picture because everybody wasn’t on the same page.” Budden’s fight for a better situation and the subsequent fragmentation of the group showcases the challenges artists face when trying to maintain artistic integrity within the constraints of a collaborative effort.
This chapter in Joe Budden’s career serves as a cautionary tale for artists entering the industry, emphasizing the importance of communication, compromise, and unity in the pursuit of musical excellence.
