Joe Budden Podcast is TRASH POO-DUMPSTER-JUICE-PUCKEY

[beenz]

I can't fukk with them seriously because they want to be nikkas but safe at the same time

I respect the brolicness of the brand tho
They came a long way

at least they got their bag. I just dont watch anymore like I used to.

 

[Fani Willis fan]

I used to watch religiously. The appeal to me was it was how me and my buls talk with each other about everything. But once they actually got signed to Spotify, I couldn't listen to them ramble twice a week about shyt that was non stories and watch them protect their industry relationships. I think one of the final straws for me was the Drake dikk riding around the Pusha T diss. Listening to them struggle through deeper topics is rough too. They basically spread themselves too thin.

And if they turned down 30 mil when they talk about bullshyt 90 percent of the pod is absurd. Time-sensitive bullshyt at that...I don't know how accurate that number is, but who gives a fukk if its a 360...you negotiate that it's a 360 for the term of the contract and part ways at term. Like yo...there's network TV shows that get 30 million...and there's virtually no overhead or marketing needed for a podcast. I'm legit dumbfounded if this is true.

I say this as a fan for the last 20 years, but this dude is a true nut if he turned down 30 mil for what they do. I'd be pissed if I was Rory and Mal. The show is called Joe Budden Podcast, they helped build his brand up and can't carry that with them elsewhere. Joe is set for life. He may not have fukk You money, but he can go on cruise control. Rory and Mal still have to scrap.

Deep down he really doesn’t want those dudes to be eating at the level he do, if they’re millionaires then he loses
control over them and cant lil bro them no more

 

[Problematic Pat]

True

I miss when they rly didnt care who was listening and gave that insider view of how these artists and celebs rly think and live

People may hate him but Akademiks the only one keeping it a stack on fronting ass artists and thots of the industry.

 

[xCivicx]

That kinda proves my point further.



If they were dropping gems and quality discussion, you would be tuned in listening instead of passively listening.

Im not gonna dispute that lol its a gossip pod

I liked their pusha t and westside gunn interviews though

 

[CrimsonTider]

Earn your leisure is the only correct answer

it’s not “entertaining” but if you’re gonna devote an hour to listen to people talk might as well learn something

why do you need to learn something from a podcast?

Maybe, but I really think he harbors anger towards the entertainment industry in general from how he was handled early in his career and it clouds his judgment. We all have seen how stubborn Joe is when he digs his heels into something. This is no secret.

He got fukked, I and everyone can see that. Singles mishandled. Album title fluffs. Timing on his single and album releases. Him and 50 got hot around the same time. Then mix in, he really wasn't the dude who could make singles but had 1 undeniable hit and 1 track that should've been another hit; he wants full control.

But dude needs to be cognizant of what he has, I don't say they were talking about bullshyt to be disparaging; it was still entertainment; but it was primarily nothing of substance. It's time sensitive, pop culture bullshyt. No one is going back and listening to 3-4 hour podcasts en masse. I stopped listening as much because I can't listen to 6-8 hours of nothing every week.

If they got offered 30 million with virtually no overhead. Not even a studio...they record in a living room with a couple of apple laptops, USB mics, and a couple of digital cameras...let's assume this was was a 5 year contract...I'm taking a 360 all things considered. Like I said earlier, there are no blanket rules in business.

He could've made his friends millionaires. Ain't that the shyt we all wanted to do as teenagers? That's some straight nut shyt. Since everyone is talking Ownership... I'd be hella pissed if I was Rory and Mal because they flipped the podcast to Joe's name. They can't take that anywhere, but they helped him build his brand up. Does anyone know Conan O'Brian's sidekicks name? He will never get his own show. Joe can and will go onto other ventures. This might be Rory and Mal's last opportunity.

Lmao what is so special about his podcast that he needs to "own" in lieu of the tens of millions of dollars he turned down? Please tell me what old episodes have you gone back and rewatched? What merchandise of Joe Budden have you purchased and will continue to purchase decades from now? And I say this as a fan of Budden. But it's one of the dumbest "business" decisions I've ever heard. His content is time sensitive. They talk about current events from the previous week that isn't relevant once that week has passed. No one will revisit any of his podcast episodes 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, etc down the line. There is no long term value in it for you to protect. Also every major company sells out a part of their "ownership". Bezos only "owns" 10% or so of Amazon. Elon Musk only "owns" 20% of Tesla.

The urban space is obsessed with "ownership" no matter how little it makes sense

 

[Michael's Black Son]

I agree. The Desus & Mero podcast is unlistenable. and I like them. I do think their show fell off after going to showtime. it was much funnier on viceland.

breh I’m listening to this weeks episode right now and this shyt is a dub. Dudes are literally talking about selling out. And whether it’s a joke or not, the shyt just isn’t coming across very well.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

I listen to Church of Lazlo every day coming home

It's so good

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

why do you need to learn something from a podcast?

because personally i like to be productive and as a business owner every minute of my day i wanna Maximize i post here for entertainment or kill time if i have some but if I’m dedicating that much time for something I’d like it to be beneficial

Million dollars worth of game is nothing without guests.

It's like we're so behind on business acumen that we just jump to any platitude without actually understanding if it makes sense. Everyone's situation is different. There is no one size fits all model for business. Not everyone should be and needs to be an "owner". Certainly we do need more black owners but you still have to be smart. Also you can partner with businesses and still own. Also there's a thing called leverage. Budden could have just partnered with Spotify and leveraged their capital and platform to launch whatever network he wanted to do.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

Also we gotta realize white folks don’t respect black podcasts that revolve around current events. That shyt is cheap cause ANYONE can do it. Budden had cache because he’s a celebrity that is relatable to most nikkas and bytches like him. His vision was stupid though.

He needed to touch on different topics besides current events and gossip. He could have went heavy into sports, real entertainment shyt behind the scenes, brought in biz owners, old school rappers and producers Smfh.

Once they did like three episodes in a row about how problematic 90's rap was, I knew what time it was...3 years ago.
