Those in the know already know. It’s off his first mixtape which I’ve known about for a while but just got around to listening. Man had Joe Budden on a song back then

Has TDE had connections since day one? How did this happen? Also featuring Freeway, another established artist

he got the President on a mixtape

I don’t think it’s about connections, I think they had enough money to get features like this

why this beat so hard tho

should i freestyle in the chat?

Paid joe with Newports for the feature

This is crazy. Does joe himself even remember this

Reason also did a show with Kendrick in 2010. But doesn't acknowledge it.

This the sme Kendrick Lamar?

yea

How you gonna do Freeway like that

What?!?!

Has Joe ever mentioned this?

And Freeway?

4 years of this

This sounds like he just added a verse to a Freeway/Budden song that already existed.

Edit:

Kendrick an industry plant like his cousin?

No way he does

I see why Lupe states so vehemently that Kenny is his son holy s*** lol

this sounds like one of his early flows verbatim

industry plant s*** lol

Can see this, sound a lot like Hov too

k. dot sounds like young chris lol
