On one hand, Nicki Minaj deserves more - it’s a shock that she hasn’t topped the Hot 100, that Pink Friday got less than rave reviews, that she’s never won a Grammy. 2), 106 charted songsĬritical consensus: 68 average Metacritic score, no end-of-year or -decade appearances So, how much foresight did this award actually have at the 2010s? Accounting for an artist’s total decade releases, Hot 100 and Billboard 200 hits, Metacritic album scores, placements on end-of-year and -decade lists (from ), touring, and, of course, Grammy nominations and wins, 15 performers rose to the top. For some years, a nominee (or four) even eclipsed the success of the chosen winner. and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and true musical C-listers like Brandy Clark and The Ting Tings. The past decade’s Best New Artist nominees mirror the category’s 58 winners pretty well, with heavy hitters like Drake and Ed Sheeran, critical darlings like Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean, currently defunct acts like Fun. Taffy Danoff of 1977 winner Starland Vocal Band called the award “the kiss of death” to VH1, promoting the idea that there’s a Best New Artist “curse” - that winning the award sets up expectations most artists will fail to meet and represents the peak of their career. The Grammy Award for Best New Artist recognized Adele, Mariah Carey, and the Beatles before they became stars, but it carries a level of infamy for gaffes like Christopher Cross’s subsequent disappearance after his 1981 win and the rescinding of Milli Vanilli’s after they faked their way to the award in 1990. With the filler-free No Love Lost, the New Jersey native has crafted an album that his most hardcore fans will memorize, his newest fans will embrace and Hip-Hop listeners in general will appreciate.Illustration: by Ari Liloan and Photos by Getty Images Not only is 2013 special to Joe and his fans because of No Love Lost, it also marks the 10-year anniversary of Joe Budden and his first Mood Muzik mixtape.
The listening event showcased other records from No Love Lost like “Switch Positions” featuring Omarion, “Tell Him Somethin,” or the “v# song” as Joey referred to it, the guitar-infused “Runaway,” and the superbly produced “Last Day” with Juicy J and Lloyd Banks. The Sean C and LV-produced track once again features Emanny crooning over stellar production from the Grammy Award-nominated duo responsible for hits from the likes of Jay-Z, Clipse, Ghostface Killah and many more. The soulful “Castles” was next followed by “All In My Head” which featured Royce Da 5’9″ and singer Kobe. The remaining members of Slaughterhouse got to showcase some of there inaugural verses of the new year on the Frequency-produced “Skeletons.”Īnother standout record titled “Ghetto Burbs” followed. Joe let the crowd know that the song was originally intended to feature Lloyd but now showcases singer Emanny who has collaborated with Joe many times over the years and is “part of the family.”
The Cardiak-produced “You and I” was next.
“NBA” features guest verses from the likes of Wiz Khalifa and French Montana, two artists who are not the conventional collaborators you would imagine when you look at Joey’s catalog from the past, yet hold there own in the most organic way. The listening event kicked off with the Kirko Bangz-assisted and Mizfitz Soundz-produced record, “Top of the World,” and was followed by the album’s second single, “NBA.”
With all of that in mind, it should come as no surprise that No Love Lost showcases a solo Joe Budden lyrically in top-form, a quality that he associates with growth, maturity and spending countless days in the studio with the likes of Eminem and his Slaughterhouse brethren, Royce Da 5’9″, Crooked I and Joell Ortiz. Since the release of his self-titled Def Jam debut in 2003, Joe has released nearly 15 projects, formed Slaughterhouse, one of rap’s respected groups and became a reality star thanks to the VH1 show Love and Hip-Hop.
