Raekwon has spoken up about the simmering beef between Joe Budden and hip hop legends Method Man and grandmaster Melle Mel. Budden posted a cross YouTube clip after he came further down a Vibe magazine list of the best rappers of all time than the likes of Method Man and Melle Mel.

Friend of the Quietus Akira The Don today interviewed Mr Chef and asked him what he thought of the beef between his old crewmate and Budden: "Everybody know he's not even near niggas. I ain't got nothing against Joe Budden, I don't know him, I don't care for him, but when he mentions one of my brothers it's like 'yo you out of character b'. It's something I feel he jumped in a pool with no water, he made a mistake.

"It's important to be yourself, but you've got to watch your mouth who you talk about because you never know, you know what I mean? We're the type of niggas, we don't give a fuck about that, we might approach you if we see you somewhere and really get at you. I don't want to start no negative shit, but I ain't wary of approaching niggas who get out of line".
