JumpOffTV invited Joe Budden to their discussion about who is signing to the Young Money roster next.
Low Key suggested that it could be Chris Brown. Raqi Thunda thinks the camp is already big enough and they should give Tyga and Jae Millz some shine.
Joe Budden on the other hand seemed to suggest that everyone on the roster besides Drake and Nicki Minaj is overrated.
“You can pick a bum off the street, make em say Young Money and he’s gonna be hot to all the f*cking sheep,” the Slaughterhouse MC said.
Low Key disagreed, saying that everyone Young Money has signed so far “has a bit of following.”
Buddens quickly shot back, “so Gudda Gudda has a following to you?” Before adding that he wished whoever the next signee is the best of luck.
Finally Joe was asked if he would sign to Young Money.
“I would take anything into consideration, I’m not sure that I would do it. But I’d consider it maybe., depending on if the deal was outstanding,” Joe said.
Personally I think the camp is starting to get too big. After adding the super talented rapper Cory Gunz the focus should be on getting his project out as well as Lil Wayne's 'Tha Carter IV', plus Tyga's and Drake's sophomore discs. The idea that Chris Brown would sign with them seems far fetched. He's building huge momentum on his own and already has a solid label home with Jive.
What are your thoughts on Young money's current roster and possible additions? And was Budden dissing Gudda Gudda in your opinion?

Video After The JumpThe # 7 slot on MTV's Hottest MC's In The Game List goes to Lil Wayne.
While some may disagree with this placement, what can't be denied is Weezy's work ethic.
The CEO of Young Money Records has been in jail since May, but it doesn't seem like he's been gone that long..
The man prepared well for his prison sentence, leaving his fans lots of quality music and videos to hold them over until his November 2010 release from Rikers Island.
In 2010 Wayne released two solo albums. The rock influenced 'Rebirth' which has gone gold. And 'I Am Not A Human Being' which just hit # 1 on Billboards Hot 100 chart this week.
Add to that the countless videos he shot before going in, "Drop The World" ft Eminem from 'Rebirth', "No Love", another Eminem collaboration that appeared on Em's 'Recovery' cd.
Also "Da Da Da", "Knockout" ft Nicki Minaj and "I Am Not A Human Being". Well you get the picture, dude put in work. He actually shot nine videos in one weekend at one point in Febrary.
So Wayne gets a well deserved nod at # 7 on the list.....congrats.

Video After The JumpI'm really digging the trend of rappers using bands in concert and live television appearances. It shows the progression of hip hop, from when performances were strictly two turntables and a mic. While I see nothing wrong with the latter, I do think live bands will become more the norm, and will free the dj up to do more cutting and scratching.
All that leads up to is me saying Drake was exceptional on Late Show With David Letterman last night (October 1). Where he performed "Show Me A Good Time" from his debut album 'Thank Me Later.'
How do you guys feel about live bands vs just the mc and his dj?

Countless artists entertain audiences at concerts by bringing someone from the crowd on stage to dance with, sing to or hug.
Drake does it just a bit different. He brings pretty females on stage and breaks their hearts by not kissing them, lol.
Drizzy brought a young lady to the stage at his Ottawa concert Friday (July 16). After a lot of hand waving and gesturing the Young Money mc bent down to kiss the obviously star struck fan on the lips only to jerk his head away at the last moment.
The girl looked pretty confused and a little embarrassed as Drake dismissed her back to her seat. But from what I've read she was only 16 years old and it's obvious Drake knew that.
