Joe took it a bit further than saying "this ain't the Eminem I was looking for", which is what Royce is getting at.
He went as far as saying that "Em's team" were exploiting black people by releasing Untouchable and marketing the album as anti-trump, as if being anti-trump means pro-black or something. He also brought up Paul's move to Def Jam, whether he was qualified for the job and also pointed up that he gave someone from Complex a job over there as well which he thought was suspect from the way he brought it up.
No matter how hard he tried to weasel around "Em's team" doing xyz, it still came off like he was saying that Eminem himself was exploiting the black plight. That's beyond a music critique. Him questioning the hiring of Paul is valid, but nobody in their right mind would say that was either necessary to say or a good look. Royce actually did right by Joe and Em in this situation if you ask me.

, but that loyalty should have over-ridden whatever he wanted to really say because of what em did for him. i dont care how wrong my homies are, in public the most you gonna get outta me is "they might be wrong, i gotta look at the situation again." this nikka went on a full joe budden red in the face rant...then when 50 came at his head, he just brushed it off on some "oh, 50 just promoting a movie." or when they talk about how cold 50's rap career is, he says something like "you cant just look at music..." so, you walk on those eggshells royce was talkin about for a dude you know would make this an issue (at least on social media), but go in on the dude that gave you a deal? either keep it all the way safe or all the way 100, joe.
