DJ Z grabbed up an exclusive interview with Joe Budden.

He talks about his digital deal and addresses the ups and downs of major labels.

DJ Booth: In "Roll Call," you threw some jabs at the old label regarding the priorities –

Joe Budden: And it felt great.

DJ Booth: Jay, Kanye, Jeezy are obviously at the top of that list. But likewise, most labels have that same problem. You look at Shady/Aftermath, they have artists like Stat Quo, or Bobby Creekwater, who signed back in '05. They haven't dropped anything. Do you think just across the board, majors in general, it's just not the right time?

Joe Budden: No. Certain majors just know what they're doin', and got a good grip on the dynamic of what's happening, and some don't. I think Def Jam happened to be one of the labels that really didn't have a good grip on things that were going on. I'll say that – that's my political answer.
