From Pump It Up to Humans… Is Joe Budden Becoming The New Ed Bradley?

[Wig Twistin Season]

I used to love watching Ed Bradley interviews, even as a kid. Joe is obviously transitioning out of Hip Hop and it’s a smart move especially given what’s going on in the music and how the Hip Hop podcast space has become saturated. Not to mention the backstabbing. Look at what’s going on with Math Hoffa.

Great interview and what is said at 25:43 is a major key to life. If you can’t watch the full interview, at least listen to that part.

R.I.P Ed Bradley

Without clicking play the negativity starts. I literally just posted this 3 minutes ago. There’s no way you’ve even given it a watch, even though I timestamped one of the best moments.

Some of y’all nikkas hate for daps. Sad.

Breh listen...I can watch that video a million times, and it still wont change my preception. Joe will never compare to a dupont, peabody, emmy award winning journalist that covered the 64 race riots, vietnam war, cambodian civil war, the Aids crisis in Africa, and sexual abuse in the Catholic church. Will it be an interesting interview? Maybe...But I'm not going to pretend it holds the same journalistic value Ed brought to the world.

Of course he can’t relive those times and admittedly, when put into that perspective, it’s a shallow comparison. I was talking about charisma and pulling things out of the interviewee.

Brehs gotta chill with the exaggerated historical comps. Joe's not ever gonna be Ed Bradley, and he'd probably say that's not even his goal.

 

[Brandsdale]

Joe isnt even a legitimate Journalist, nor does he have any formal training

kind of a weird comparison considering Bradley worked as a reporter in the late 60s

 

[Vandelay]

Joe is a good interviewer and personality. He has 2 problems that suggest you shouldn't put him up against Ed Bradley, he's not very informed on things outside of hip-hop and the hip-hop community and 2, he let's his ego get in the way of his product.

If he becomes more worldly, which he won't and if he learns to humble himself in and outside of the interviewing process, which he won't he could go on to do great things in the space because he is engaging and dynamic enough to go beyond hip-hop.

I see the vision and I’m EXCELLENT at knowing when someone is about to take off. I’ll come back to this thread in 10 years to see how right or wrong I was.

Ahh gotcha. My bad breh...I was just like man...ain't this the dude that was arguing with Lil Yachty ? The part you timestamped does carry a really good message though...

 

[Rozay Oro]

Joe Buddens if u readin, humble yourself yella nikka

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Terrible interviewer. Doesn’t prepare, arrogant, and his reputation precedes him. He won’t ever be Mr. Ed, let alone Ed Bradley

His ability to recreate himself and level up his career should be studied by people trying to find their footing.

In fairness, his reinventions are the direct result of his own self destruction, so that should probably be taken into consideration as well.
