Royce is right. He definitely addressed how Joe came across very well. It's pretty much the same thing Joe has been told before. He has the right idea but he fukks up how the message can be delivered. That time, it went left and it was done in poor taste. Joe can say what he wants but, also, that doesn't mean saying what you want may not come with the consequences either. I mean, who knows what kind of damage this did with his relationship with Em, Shady, and Slaughterhouse.
But yeah, Joe has always been one to maintain his career on his own no matter his situation. So the whole thing about Em/Shady saving him, I don't get that.
