ive never really liked joe but he was the only reason to watch that show
akademiks is a fukking herb i dont even know how he has a job in the business
the girl is ok but bland af

i hope they dont try to keep the show going it will just be embarassing

theres no way he was serious with that $5mil
that was just his way of making sure they knew he didnt wanna return

Im legit sad...:mjcry:

fukkers ruined a great thing. Its sad these brothers couldn't just do the shyt on their own, instead they had to have complex put it together. Diddy needs to do something like this and quit fukking around.
Only reason I’m not sad is because I enjoy his podcast more.


Pretty sure joe will be back on internet TV because the demand I hard to ignore

:patrice:Idk got me thinking. Sure, that 5 mil was a little ridiculous. (1 mil sounds somewhat "reasonable") But, I think Cacplex could have footed about half the bill if they wanted to truthfully. The CMN has a site for damn near every facet of street/urban culture under their umbrella. They :takedat:"got money hangin out the anus":dame: so to speak. Like everybody else, I also feel he was highballing just to get himself out the situation, but I think Cacplex got a little more $ than they put on. Plus you gotta remember, Cacplex is the progeny of Ecko, which everybody wore in the late 90's so its not like they started "from the ground up". There was some substantial capital when they launched this thing in 02'

Be a crackhead brehs....and pass up a $200k a year steady income stream from a side gig you could do in ya sleep, a side gig that would clearly grow to a hip hop staple in bout 2-5 years, where you could then renegotiate, brehs......what an IDIOT:mjlol:
i dont know if its a side gig when you gotta wake up at 4-5am and put in 3-4 hrs, 4-5 days a week.

And nobody can call him an idiot until we see what’s next.

He’s getting opportunities thrown at him left and right as it is, and especially now that the world knows he’s a free agent. Complex can’t afford him, and he’s right for starting 2018 fresh.

This is great momentum IMO.

The 5 Million I can believe. This is the thing, overcharging is a normal business tactic people use when they don't want to do something, you overcharge them, and if they meet the quota, then you do it, and if they don't you walk away.

Joe probably didn't want to do the show anymore anyway, since he's in the works of branching off with his own show. So he asked them for a contract that he knew they would probably never agree to. It's a win win. They sign it, great, he gets his 5 Million and does the show. They don't? That's great too. I can leave now like I wanted to anyway, and do my own thing that I was already working on.

Makes sense, I do this sometimes when I get approached for some side gigs I'm not tryna flat out say no to
