joe was on point again however outkast first 3 albums are as hip hop as can be and were under la
You need to get up on the history of Kast and the LA Reid situation. Watch that Art Of Organized Noize documentary on Netflix. LA Reid lucked up with Outkast and really didnt want to push them. Like @Huellz Santana said the only reason Southernplayalistic got a push from LA was b/c Players Ball had so much burn on a damn Xmas album. LA didnt really understand Kast and was strictly an R&B dude. Puffy even directed the Players Ball video. He was technically there but didnt really know how to push them and left it to Rico, Ray, and Sleepy.

His knowledge on hip hop is cringe:hhh:
It amazes me the amount of dumb shyt that flies out of his fat fukkin jowls. I mean I've read it on plenty of message boards but to verbally see a fukkin loser like him say the shyt he says is straight up astounding. To see ignorance in the flesh and know that clowns like him actually have an influence on other younger impressionable kids is frustrating. Yesterday Joe really hit on some shyt when he told his greatest list it was so generic and telling knowing this fat fukk never listened to Rakim he fires his name off first just to look like he knows what he talking about. This nikka is a byproduct of Vlad. A lame who doesn't know shyt but fronts like he does.

His synopsis on TPAB and the "Am I a slave nikka" comment was pure c00nery. I was glad to see an all black hip hop talk show cast even on complex but this guy akademiks is a disgrace.

I fux with the show. Joe is kinda built for this debating podcast shyt. Nedeska needs to be more of a moderator...she comes off more like a public access TV commentator. Show will get better as they find their groove and Joe stops yelling so much.

He's basically a c00n and it looks like the trick has worked on a majority of this generation. The fact that this generation squirms and feels uncomfortable when rappers start talking about their plight and problems thats going on in society and systemic racism is really disheartening. Its like they've been brainwashed to not give a fukk about anything else going on except fukkin bad chicks, money, and cars. Not saying this shyt hasn't always been in the music but the over abundance of it now is all they know now. The fact that people were protesting Kendrick's Humble track a few weeks ago is another example. Encouraging women to be themselves telling them they don't need the photoshop got them angry and twisted the entire message. Its like anything positive or uplifting is met with scorn or criticism or being "fake deep"/or trying to kick knowledge. The hat trick has been pulled and they don't even realize it. They've been conditioned to not care about their own people or their own history. This scene/speech in Belly always stuck with me and almost 20 years later it couldn't be more true. Not on no Muslim shyt just real shyt being spoken.

It makes me cringe whenever Ak calls Joe a p*ssy so nonchalant with that squeaky voice:why:

Akademiks is a toy and doesn't sound very knowledgeable next to Joey.

I think what he's good at is being more in tune with what people actually are saying and talking about in real life. Joe Budden is a hermit, that doesn't really know what people care/talk about outside of his immediate circle. It's clear whenever there's a debate about a topic, Budden usually goes extra hard on topics nobody cares about but him

Having that lame hoe ass nikka be the "voice" of the rap populace does all of us a disservice though...Damn near every argument he makes sounds weak because its coming from him...Makes for a horrible dynamic... Lil whiny voiced lame trying to sneak his opinion in between buddens screaming opiate withdrawal fueled rants of rage bout the simplest shyt... If they want to pull off a bootleg rap first take, they gotta find someone with a personality at least half as strong as buddens...He does a good enough Screamin' A rendition... But Ak too much of a hoe to get his internet troll gimmick over on camera, he's no Skip Bayless

Budden taught me a few things though, like the way he broke down Epic was interesting. I never liked La Reid but Buddens analysis of him was interesting.

Also he taught some of y'all praying baby what a flop really is lol.
