Mal as a charecter development or lack there of is comedy in of itself

Trying to remember everything I heard yesterday: Andrew was basing practically half of his argument on the fact that Charlamagne personally has a comfortable life and great job. He was trying to make the case that things in America really aren't "that bad" or as bad as they could be just because of how s***ty other countries can be. Saying the wealth gap in those countries is massive, not realizing that it's the same case here for plenty and PLENTY of people.

Comparing America to some of those s***tier countries shouldn't be a litmus test for this country, considering the idea behind what we are and what many people have always touted the country to be about.

Can't remember the rest of it but basically everything C was rebuking him with is exactly what I would've said to him if it was me. Andrew was clearly only going off of his first-hand experiences and relationships, which would be fine if he were at least aware of how out-of-touch he really is

Probably down for BI and up for F2, but I don't know that to be fact. But once C had his d***ging controversy a couple years ago it felt like they were distancing themselves from each other and not putting as much energy into BI. Andrew began focusing more on F2 and turning it into a more general podcast and puts a lot more energy into it than BI

As out of touch regarding the US as he might be, his point wasn't wrong though. There is still no way to compare the US poverty to third world countries poverty and that's a fact. Not saying that the wealth gap doesn't exist but that's not really the issue here.

Of course he's right that other countries are worse than us in plenty of different regards. But he was knowingly or unknowingly sugarcoating the circumstances. Poverty is still poverty, and a wealth gap like we currently have (granted it's not as severe as it "could be") in a country like ours that is still trying to peddle us a facade about equality and opportunity and democracy when millions of people are not seeing that at all, is a problem. We're literally being lied to every day and used as pawns by the wealthy and powerful. We should not at all be okay with where we are right now as a country, but based on Andrew's arguments, maybe we should just suck it up and appreciate what we've been left with, because geez, you could've been born in the Congo!

I rant a lot and I'm mentally ill-equipped to dismantle his argument like it deserves to be. But I can't be the only one who sees his argument for the bullshit it is

And I want everyone reading this to watch how much further we descend as a country in the next year. We are in the middle of a historic moment and this country will not at all be where it was even 2-3 years ago. I mean that in terms of our social, political, and economical climates. People will continue to laugh the idea off of America changing in ways we couldn't have imagined 4 years ago. But it's already halfway there, and they need to wake up already. The bulk of us already accept it as a kleptocracy as-is.

"The Joe Budden Podcast Thread"

Eh in NYC it’s just super normal to never drive, once you’re there you understand why

I see what your saying but I feel like Spotify is not really paying for the back catalog, they are paying for the podcast to be exclusive going forward. Before the deal they were uploading the podcast to multiple DSPs for free, so I don't see why Spotify would pay for the back catalog unless it was removed from other streaming platforms.

A more accurate comparison is if we made a song and KNOWINGLY uploaded it for free without expecting payment to gain exposure, and a Label decides it just wants to sign you to make more music independently going forward.

Nah NYC easier to move thru without a car in most cases

It’s like a 60/40 split not having vs having one.

I have a car and don’t drive 7days a week

Damn both my parents are from NYC and never had cars so that was my perspective

If I’m being honest I don’t need one.

I Just like it for Heavy snow and heavy rain days or listening to music on a late nite drive.

Other than that it’s useless most times for me. subway way faster
