hope someone helps Joe realize how f***ing obnoxious he sounds sometimes on the mic, like his grating 'imitation' of the Jay Elec sample towards the end of this ep. Like dude please shut the f*** up...

The last few episodes have suffered in quality partly due to everyone seeming to have a resentment towards Joe to different extents. And Joe really has been a little more of a d*** recently here and there. It's awkward sometimes

absolutely

he actually was on that type of time for a minute before screen man. He needs a young hungry kid who is even slightly savy who would be more than happy to work on this pod

this is a weekly thing, especially when discussing drake or kanye lol

fam no lol just stop

these niggas were KILLING ak for helping ppl like tekashi, trippie, xxx, uzi a name. Like I remember it totally

Bro you got to be trolling me how different we are

Not because of this but almost all of our opinions are different

like i remember a time where all these big media publications as well as all these big time influencers were just completely shunning that scene

joe budden too lol, he used to make fun of kodak and got on ak for bigging him up until the tides kinda turned and he started praising him.

niggas like yachty, xxx, uzi, etc. were just seen as goofy from the hip hop media and trashed completely by most in the culture and thats where ak kinda made his lane

It’s like a bias agenda they got concerning him. It’s weird. I almost had to cut it off

But thats not why people hated akademiks b the reason Vic Mensa checked Ak is the reason most of us hated akademiks b

big facts

Things come full circle with time.

That Lady London chick is nice.

They been talking over Mal so much that he just stopped talking lol he’s barely been talking these last few episodes, and when he does I always cringe at how much he has to repeat himself because Rory/Joe keep talking over him

Joe is a piece of s*** fqt and Rory abusing his white privilege and he's a total lame

Yo that ending is so damn ignorant of Joe lol. Gonna give him a chance to eat crow if Jay E.'s album slap but damn, he trying a lil too hard to act provocative/entertaining

Shes probably the best pure writer in female hip hop that I can think of this current generation.

She's effortlessly proficient with her writing in a way I haven't seen since Jean Grae.

If she can get a little more confident behind the mic she would be ready.

joe cried listening to xxx's music

did they discuss g herbo's album or lil baby's?

haven’t finished the episode yet but how did somebody say kendricks pure sales only and compare it to everybody else’s sales plus streaming lol

not only did kendrick sell 600k first week in 2017, DAMN actually sold 100k more than More Life sold

i wish joe better articulated his point about jhene album and her lane that’s being run by everyone but her now.

it’s bigger than just snoh. summer walker, ari lennox, and sza have all taken the lane that jhene thrived in. and sza became a full blown pop star with it.

i think we’re in a weird time in music where it’s sooo many new artists coming up, not even the hot people per se, but just dope artists with less than a million plays on their spotify, and the big artists that should be. bodying their lane are putting out mediocre or forgettable albums. a lot of artists that have been around for a minute either lost it or don’t have the self awareness anymore.

I don’t even put Jhene with the really bad cases because people are actually reacting to her music, but Nicki had a huge record with tekashi, but besides that, she’s been cold for almost 3 years and all of her big press has been for tantrums that signal her downfall. When are we gonna have the conversation about that?

it’s a lot of conversations i would like joe to have but they won’t have because of relationships or whatever reason.

That’s what I’m saying like wtf, it had me confused. It seemed purposely done to make Kendrick look inferior, like he ain’t the second highest selling rapper out now moving more than 500k a week easily smh. Parks is an idiot.

This not the first time they discredited Kendrick. I forget the episode, but they were talking about J. Cole and Kendrick being close to retirement . And Mal said “no one will miss Kendrick because people don’t play his music like that anymore.”

The only reason I remember this is: this was the same week GKMC broke Eminem’s all-time most weeks for an album on the Billboard 200 charts. Smh

He’s reached a certain status where he is no longer aloud to speak on s*** that 2-3 years ago he would’ve. Too much is at stake it seems. That’s kinda the dilemma when it comes to people like him, because I’m sure behind closed doors when the mics are off, they talk about this s*** but the pod is no longer as deep anymore
