[PassionateVipez]

Leave the past in the past, tomorrow's not promised and today's just a gift, I guess that's why it's the present.

[jsimone123189]

@officialmarkbarry no it's not he actually took it from a movie where the quote is "why to to fit in when you were born to be a standout" and if you go on his twitter his slogan on there is "why try 2 fit in when you're a standout" in this song the actual lyrics are "why try to fit in when you a standout" but i preferred to use proper english in something permanent so i made when you a standout, when you're a standout

[jsimone123189]

just got "why try to fit in when you're a standout" tatted on my ribs

[OfficialMarkBarry]

@jsimone123189 It's "Why try to fit in when you can stand out"

[AshLovesYou69]

JOEY (Eminem Voice) lol

[KingOfTheCourt2009]

IF YOU ACTUALLY GIVE A FUCK AND READ ALL OF THIS, THEN THANK U!***

I work my ass off 2 make it in the music biz, but its impossible 2 make it if noone

ever hears you, and its hard to get people to hear you when you have no

exposure. I dont have the money for amazing music videos or big youtube

advertisements..so all im left with is spam.

if you could, take two seconds to give me a thumbs up just so people know i

exist. U dont have to like me just gimme a chance to be liked Help

[jessegales]

yeah i agree classic music real hiphop

[TrueFPSGamers]

"Tomorrow's not promised and today's just a gift, i guess thats why its the present"

That's one of the greatest lines i have ever heard!

[datnuccaeez]

“I understand something’s off bout me

But nothin’s forced bout me

I NEVER GAVE A FUCK OF WHAT A NIGGA THOUGHT BOUT ME

I look down upon what some see as a must

Maybe I'm regular and the world needs to adjust

I mean I'm everyday people

Hood but still formal, I'm normally abnormal taking life as a lesson

I leave the past in the past, tomorrow’s not promised and today’s just a gift, I guess that’s why it’s the present"

[721rem]

14 ppl just wanna be different

[CORNERSTOW]

a real song for real times bravo joe

[baltimoresfinest15]

Sometime if da leader walk slow enough he get lost in da crowd... #realshit

[RealBudSmokinKilla]

cant beleive i just found this, this is the real

[crazylazy1212]

"Today is just a gift, i guess that's why call it the present" Who spits hot fire like this.

[bloodswagga]

why try to fit in when you're a standout? no good reason

[RajonRondoShow]

joe is amazing....his music is so far ahead of his time.

[Eastyking]

VTZ murdered it producing beat and Joey did his thing, one of my favorite songs

[sunnydemingo]

Trod that's cause he speaks like tupac,fuck everyone who is censored,never try to fit in when you can stand out.Enough said

[ELAberit]

honestly youve helped me through some shit and your my lyrics make me think. thank you, you give hip hop hope

[trod71986]

this guy gets me threw my hard times u the man joe

[JustBluntz]

Joe budden is the greatest to ever do it

dudes bobbed around in the game for 8 years and never fell off.. if

ever really payed attention to the music he made during that time

thats consistency its greatest.

the shit he talks about, how he talks about it, how you understand

those are all the reasons why hes comparable with pac

[DeuceOhSixx]

@JustBluntz I think he's still dope BECAUSE he hasn't "made it"... Still raps hungry

[JustBluntz]

@DeuceOhSixx straight up, acknowledging the man for not selling his soul,keeping it real, and still having 100 percent love for the culture

[TheTroy87]

@JustBluntz

Budden is far above pac, skillwise he's ALOT better lyricist + he's real

pac played much on the thuglife attitude which i believe wasent really him

[ShakurThgLf]

@TheTroy87 IMO pac had alot more presence than joe, pac was always real in both his emotional and aggresive songs, and although i got alot of respect for joey he will never beat pac strictly for the reason that he was always real, stuck by his friends and stood up to anyone, he also meant every word he said and his emotional songs were more about other people, whereas joes always seem to be about him.. just my opinion.

[skywalker1367]

@TheTroy87 TUPAC ABOVE ALL

[skywalker1367]

@TheTroy87 U MUST BE A WHITE FAGGOT

[skywalker1367]

@TheTroy87 U TALK A LOT OF CRAP WHITE FAGGOT..

[TheTroy87]

@skywalker1367

Umad bro?

[xPoetix7]

@TheTroy87 Lol out of your mind.

[arreinsbeta]

@TheTroy87 exactly i agree. if pac had spent less time thugin he would have been amazing. although i guess that was what sold at the time

[JXN091]

actually cat daddy has 40 million, ok, where has the real gone?

[JXN091]

Why doesnt budden get the respect he deserves? I mean theres 150,000= views on this and a song like cat daddy probally has millions. Our generation sucks.

[PrinceMillzz]

@JXN091 yeah life's crazy ait it all these dancing asz niggas on the radio and shit when real musuik like this for the people aint heard. #brainwashed

[rhugginsj25]

@JXN091 well said brother... you worded it perfectly

[KeepitThoro247]

[Dc3ve]

[bigdaddypaddy1]

this song has saved my life at least 5 times

[tefweebz]

@bigdaddypaddy1 Same here, double that for All of Me and Whatever It Takes.

[Llacarte]

"Maybe I'm regular an' the World needs to adjust."

[PAINECASTLE]

feelin this right chea, its hard to find good music these days, and this going hard

[yankman22]

@threep3at my boy rapped over this beat and killed it. if youre a joe budden fan i think youll like this. look up nvolv just to be different

[32greendude]

@yankman22 nobody should rap on a budden beat

[yankman22]

@32greendude my boy's like him tho. from the hood, has perseverance, all that. he's not another white college rapper who smokes a lot of weed then says the same shit over and over again

[32greendude]

joey's best song

[Eraticusofbalnazzar]

I don't get why people quote joeys songs in comments.....EVERYTHING he spits is sick and real as fuck....big ups to SH. most lyrical in the game.

[ThatDudeSirraj]

@Eraticusofbalnazzar yeah its crazy. He say so many things that hit you its like hell wit postin it anywhere. If people aint tuned into this dude its their loss...

[Sp33dyMik3]

"i wont secome to all the stereotypes, wont sacrifice me for what the stereo hypesss.... told me get in where you fit in, this is whats in demand now, told em why try to fit in when you can stand out" - real shit go against the grain budden

[imkingoveru2]

@Atadratel ever heard of Dostoevsky and the brothers karamazov?

[dbatarseh714]

joe budden you are too fuckin sick.

[Atadratel]

Hey everybody. I live in Russia (a shithole country with no good literature, no poetry, no music, no movies, no nothing) and I'm broke so I can't even afford Internet so '09 was the last year I actually was in tune with rap music none of my asshole friends you can call true hip-hop fans, and I STILL tell everyone about Joe Budden and how important it is to understand his music. Because you ain't no responible person if you can't relate to Joe Budden.

[Atadratel]

So please, everyone who might be reading me, please tell absolutely everyone who's attention you can get to try some of the Joe Budden music, whether they listen to rap or they are just some serious, wise men - because his music has alot to give both these types of people.. You guys always bitch about how hip-hop is dying, but think about people in other countries which filled with MONKEYS who only care about gossip, sex vodka and violence.. NO good lyrics even in everyday talks let alone music.

[Atadratel]

So what I'm asking you (yes dear reader, you personally) to do is kinda be my mouthpiece, because nobody's listening to me, but I'm sure somebody's gonna listen to you guys. Also I'm sorry that I sound kinda angry. It probably has something to do with mass media being filled with Lady GaGa and Lil Wayne and other such scum, kissing same sex in the mouth kind of shit. And with absolutely no one I know being even bothered with it. So, I'll try to be more calm next time. Peace everyone.

[ricxxxhxxie]

@threep3at theres too many great ones bro aha

[MatisCudi]

Dam. truth ass rapper.

[Kiidroyalty1]

[opydopy]

Joe budden has every right to be cocky.

[dgalemusic]

CHECK OUT MY VID I DID FOR THIS:

D.Gale- To Be Different / (Download Link)

[laggersgetchopped]

how can u compare joe budden to drake? not because joe is 10 times better blah blah, its all a matter of opinion, drakes a fairly generic punchline rapper whos ideas and style we've already seen, joe uses a completely different unqiue style thats deep and speaks to your heart,...as he said why fit in when you can stand out

[thuggin191]

Fuckin Fire!

[acetown10]

joe speak the truth in his raps word up..this shit tuff..

[TheDVoted]

I think outside of the box to be cornered! Like that line!

[DreadfulControversy]

You guys should check out my groups version on my page. It's called "Just To Be Different". We're worth the listen, trust. All I ask for is a chance.

[chikipsg]

[SuperAceDawg]

Joe's music sends chills down my spine.

Best rapper out right now imo.

Dude spits on real shit

[bigdaddypaddy1]

tell me what the secret is joey? how are you so good and so unknown...

[msnywoman23]

@bigdaddypaddy1

simple. because people like mainstream stuff. which is basically manufactured.most if not all of those people dont right their own stuff. why because the industry decides what is gonna be put out. what message. and as far as rap goes they want negative messages to be put out to influence the youth. gun talk bitch this nigga that. demoralize people.

[bigdaddypaddy1]

@msnywoman23 sad...

[AndItAintNoMan]

Damn, I came here when I heard about the Shinedown part being sampled, sounds so different, but he used it very well. I'd be classified as a rock fan, but I really liked this!

[FowlWrecKonActivFist]

Big ups To my Nigga VTZ, the soundclick producer on this, cuz if it wasn't fo this beat, Joe Budden wouldn't have gone so hard as he did just now, DAMN!

[xelr8ar]

What can I say after listening to that? FUCK. Everybody says hip hop is dead because they're not following hip hop artists.. Budden IS hip hop

[BLAZE69007]

[philzeeman]

[WwalshH]

[getback4444]

Are you in that mood yet?

[FallenAngels92]

don't know what i'd do without music like this. joe motha flippin budden, i give you love.

when you down or in a dark place, or just going through some shitt, joe budden is probably the best, hes not my favorite rapper but i respect people who do think that and i can see why, hes ONE OF my favorites

songs like these help so much when you going through something no one else understands.

[Fernad00]

@FallenAngels92he truly is blessed and so are we with his music. my uncle died today and some of his songs i feel really identified with..

[FallenAngels92]

@Fernad00 damn man sorry about your loss. stay strong

[bd123]

[TheOnlyOneSon]

One of my favorite songs all time.... This song is just incredible, the depth of his lyrics.... I mean, if you been through the type of situations he's rapped about, you can't even describe the feeling.... Keep doin your thing Joe, your the best out right now hands down.

[Commandodudes]

[hoganx55]

[fastflipper12345]
