Mood Muzik

Mood Muzik is a series of mixtapes released by Joe Budden over the course of around a decade. They all deal with themes of depression, failure, sadness, and Joe Budden's life. Acclaimed for their lyrical content, the mixtapes are nonetheless hindered by Joe's atrocious beat selection, bizarre mixing, and apparent inability to write a hook. Nonetheless, Mood Muzik as a series is generally considered to be Joe's high point, musically.

Fans are often upset when Joe makes music that does not fit, thematically, with Mood Muzik.
