Call me whatever, but i have a feeling this thing is going to work...and work well.

Star seemed pretty sincere yesterday in that opening when he let Nadeska and Ak know how he felt, and said he wants this to work. I think he likes what he sees, is starting to have fun and noticed that this thing can open up doors that haven't been open to him in over a decade.

He's a bright dude. So, he has to know that this could be a new shot in the arm, and connect him to a new fanbase/world in a big way. Even his approach is rugged as fukk, yet tame and succinct at the same time. He's not fukkin around, but he's not 100% reckless either. Look at the Fat Joe, DJ Khaled, Jay Electronica and Pharrell topics. He's telling you what he really feels, but when you examine it, you can't really be mad at what he's saying because he's not dissing them for the sake of dissing them on some disrespectful shyt....IMO.

You guys just need to admit to liking Star and not liking Budden. The show will get views and be a success for Complex but it will have nowhere near the mainstream trajectory that it did with Budden. Star disses fat Joe and Jay electronica and didn't even go viral. He was not trending. @Abdi is at least honest about it.

This is why I don't fucc with Complex. They some sneaky lil bastids, like wit that Gilbert Arenas Mia Khalifa shyt. Ain't no way these mahfuggas ain't know bout what Star said about Nadeska on his New Years show.

Nadeska is a company girl she not gonna talk shyt, but they basically threw her under the bus for cliccs and that shyt is foul. Wouldn't be surprised if Akademiks grimey asz didn't have somethin to do with it too

People forgetting that Everyday Struggle was trash the first couple of episodes with Joe Budden too. The comments were full of people hating on Joe talking about him shouting at Ak and his mood swings. It's just funny seeing the cycle of hate to dikkriding on these shows. Even the No Joe No Show downvote movement is switching up with ppl admitting they keep coming back to watch Star :russ:

Always.

8 months ago, they were shytting Joe, even on TheColi.

Now, Joe is the Prophet of the Youth and Hip-Hop.

You spelled AK wrong...
They talk about the same naggas, so how do you know what he knows or don't??
It's clear from Star's demeanor , he does not give a shyt about current gen artists. All of his answers are very quick and not planned out. You can tell Ak actually listens to current music, as his answers are planned out and and backed up. Star doesn't have any of that.

Bruh...I liked Budden and have listened to
his podcast each and every Wednesday for the last 2 years. I want him to pick it back up on camera somewhere.

So I’m not on some either/or picking sides shyt like you seem to be. I’m speaking objectively based on what the show is TODAY and moving forward. People just need to not even bring Joe up when it comes to this show after this week. That phase is over, and I’m sure both Joe and Star feel the same because they’re mature about it and respect one another.

does he?

every time they talk about a new song, Ak says "I listened to the snippet" then goes a makes a long winded statement on it.

Star is killing the two of them. If he isn't a reckless savage, then he's a history savage, or a legal savage, or a street wise savage. This nikka AK is looking a bit foolish trying to "expose" Star. When all he's doing is exposing his lackluster and limiting knowledge. Nadeska is talking more but she's still not saying anything.

Pray for these two young knucklehead. You can't boss up and not know what's in your ledger. :snoop:
Why nikkas always try to pit brothers against each other. :dahell: They seem to be showing mutual respect and just vibing but here come you nikkas trying to form that narrative.
