“I’ve been guilty of getting in my own way in the past … But now, I think that I have the best understanding of me — both good and bad.” –Joe Budden
If you’ve been a fan of the current season of VH1’s “Love &Hip Hop,” then you’ve undoubtedly witnessed the journey of rapper Joe Budden. A musical savant in some ways, and a self-admitted recovering mess in others, Budden is one of the more intriguing characters on the wildly popular show.
So when Budden and rolling out met at The Auction House — an NYC hidden gem — the focus became less about creating timeless pictures, and more about understanding the real Joe Budden. Thankfully, both were accomplished, as he was very open and candid in his interview, only to turn around and knock his photo shoot out of the park.
The cover shoot will officially hit newsstands Jan. 31, but in the meantime, let’s take a look at some of the great behind-the-scenes moments from the shoot.
