Emilio Sparks - The Charlie Rose of Hip Hop

Joe Budden can’t catch a break, but he sure knows how to catch a punch right to the eye. According to dodgerhightop.com and a slew of other hip hop sources, Budden was backstage with Mickey Factz, filming a video blog at last nights Rock The Bells show in Los Angeles, when Raekwon and his crew approached him. After hostile words were shared, one of Raekwon’s friends punched Budden in the eye. It all stems from the recent beef between Joe and  Method Man, and this specific video.

While Budden turned his camera off before the attack, Raekwon was accompanied by Ice Water TV, who recorded the whole thing. Perhaps footage of the actual punch will surface the internet at a later time. The following videos cover the aftermath of the altercation and Budden’s reaction, as well as a retelling of the incident by Mickey Factz.

No official word on the behalf of Raekwon just yet, but there will no doubt be more to this story coming soon. Earlier today, Joe seemed to be in good spirits and made light of the situation via Twitter.

At least he has a sense of humor.
