CyHi The Prynce says he'd "demolish" Joe Budden in a rap battle.

CyHi The Prynce has many things on his mind these days. Earlier today, he issued a message to major record companies to partner in releasing "one of the greatest albums in music/rap history." However, his recent appearance on the No Jumper podcast explored a lot of territory from his recent shooting to Kanye West and Drake's beef. CyHi also revisited his previous wager for Joe Budden to come out of retirement for a rap battle with $500K at stake. Even though Joe is sitting comfortably as a media host, CyHi still has his sights set on seeing Budden on a Smack stage.

"Joe Budden really a fan of mines. He upset that he -- he feel like my best friend won't put me out," he said, before detailing another tale about Kanye West. Adam22 brought the conversation back to the possibilities of a battle when CyHi insisted that he would destroy Joe. "I would demolish Joe Budden, though, to be honest," he continued, explaining that he wants to do an acapella, bar-for-for battle to determine who the strongest lyricist is. "I need to look you in the face on Smack stage," he said. "I got half a ticket."

Adam then asked CyHi about whether he feels like Joe Budden is still an exceptional MC. "Absolutely, that's why I know I'd destroy him. I study Joe Budden. I already know. He don't know me, though. He don't know how deep this -- and then when I get into my feelings, like when I get into my -- when Jesus lil' nephew come out, he'll have walked off the stage before I  know he's off the stage," CyHi said.
