Pump it up just went gold after 20 years. Clearly he knows a thing or two!

They’re reacting to the fake Twitter plot twist

Yeah he didn't even release that song

#idiots

Joe need to learn to fact check things and be less impatient 😆

I wonder if one of the other show members will ever call his ass out.

can't call out their employer

true

They won’t. They can’t bite the hand that feeds them.. unless one of them makes a name for themselves and becomes the next hot topic of podcasting in the hip hop space

Since Pump it was released, it has seen

-Bush Administration
-Obama 1st and 2nd Terms
-Trump Administration
-Biden Administration

Do you understand how pathetic it is that this nigga acts like he's a hip hop legend when his 'biggest' song went gold now and the first time he released the song the first ever Call of Duty dropped, Safari Web Browser dropped, Finding F***ing Nemo dropped, iPod 3rd Gen dropped, The Matrix Reloaded dropped.

Comical

why brias interlude trending

TikTok is discovering another old Drake song, I'm guessing

I'm sure he could've had that plaque long ago, but he was big beefing with IDJ for 20 years

Makes sense because Hov was the president

Man Kanye so funny 😂😂😂

we are energized for the elimination

Running through the 6
Thumbing through the contracts

Sorry fam. Me and my girl took a break. Had to head down to the Borgatta and drown my thoughts in champagne and room service lol.

In hindsight it’s crazy looking back on how all of that plays a role into delaying numbers, etc.

Just like how the label plays with artist budgets to make it look like they haven't recouped, also I think artists have to pay for their plaques as well unless they're gifted

fam that one voice note from yachty on twitter where he goes b**** b**** man my nigga was PISSED tf OFF LMFAO.

They have to pay for the plaque?!

In what scenario would they be gifted?? The label finally says “thank you” ? lol

Im possessed you can see it under the contacts

"All music awards and plaques come at a price. Sometimes the major record labels will cover the costs but independent artists or artists signed to an independent record label will usually pay for their own plaques.

The prices depend on the type of award and manufacturing costs involved".

Like in Joe's case I can see it being gifted because I'm sure he didn't care to get it for himself. Especially, with him and Def Jam's relationship. Or like Spotify sending Drake a plaque, feel like artists like that wouldn't care too much

What I will say for Joe, in terms of his music career, Pump It Up was and probably still is getting crazy syncs. That business model is being used by artists like Vince Staples that look for placing records in film/tv/commercials/etc
