Breh stop it. That’s not how any business works. He had the idea but it grew and blew up with those 2 next to him. If only the people who birth ideas get equity, damn near no companies would exist. If Joe didn’t want to come off some equity, he should’ve gone the Joe Rogan route.
they were workers

they got paid even when the pod made no money

they arent coming out of pocket for any of the business expenses

i fail to see why yall think they deserve ownership for doing a job they got paid to do

Mal is not the best prodded but didn’t he get Griselda and KD on the pod? To act like that ain’t shyt is nuts

Getting Griselda on should not be a claim to fame….

The pod did more for Griselda than Griselda did for the pod. That is not a get. Ill give you KD but one episode outta 400 aint moving the needle.

That’s the funny shyt. Joe used to be begging him to get folks up there. A lot of nikkas didn’t and wouldn’t fukk with Joe. Pay attention to a lot of them early episodes.... Mal was telling him.... and Joe used to damn near be like “nah man... tell ‘em I’m good” and Mal would be like “WE know but they don’t...” and get at him about his tone.

nikkas arent creators dog they are cohosts
the point you bring up is them making their own pod ... its literally on a platform called Joe Budden Network

someone said above they should be entitled as creators ... but nobody in the world would give you a cut of a network. for free you could have done "By Mal's Way" under the Budden Umbrella and owned your own division on the channel with 100% freedom. Not only did you have a free chance and spot... you were also getting paid to manage that on your own with a first form of income from the main pod :cheers:

This is what I'm sayin'... nobody really has a reason outside of not liking Joe to support why they feel Mal and Rory were entitled to some piece of it, when they didn't do any of the actual work that went into it. They literally got paid to come thru and shoot the shyt with their homeboy for a few hours a week. Now AS A FRIEND, I don't know if Joe is that great. But when it comes to this podcast, how could Rory ever believe he was gonna audit Joe and still be on the show? If I had been Joe, Rory woulda been gone from the moment he started talkin' about hands. And then there's Mal, who barely even contributes as a voice on the show... why does anyone think these two have been done dirty when it comes to the podcast?

Parks could have gotten Griselda I feel like, but getting KD was the best thing Mal ever has done for the pod, granted this is after Joe asked mal like thousands of times to call someone or share something interesting.
No Parks could not lol. They fukk with Mal. And were fukking with Mal EARLY on. The first show Joe went to was because he was on ‘em first. shyt they called Mal to bring ‘em out at shows. That Griselda shyt is all Mal. West wasn’t gonna go on if it wasn’t for Mal or Con. Cause Con thought Joe was on some hating shyt

BI gonna wait until Schulz comes back to NYC to go in but they always throwing low key shots :sas2:

Honestly think we will not get a true critic of this JBP situation because everyone with a podcast is too damn chummy with each other. CTG, Kaz, Mandi and Bridget. None of them will say anything about this because they're friends with Joe or Rory.

Lol yall clowns going on about business expenses when one of the main issues here is that Joe has been fighting disclosing financials.

People comparing this to McDonalds are clueless or trying to pretend to be. This is a podcast. Joe is the main draw but the product is literally those 3 on a screen, on a audio player or on a stage. They aren’t some worker’s behind a panel spittin on ya mcdouble. They’re on the screen or mic damn near 100% of the time. Joe also leans on their connections.

This is exactly what he was crying at Clubhouse about. They brought some people in when the app/pod wasn’t shyt, they blew it up and now that it has value, the people who helped build it up get froze out of equity opportunities.

Akademiks (the sheltered internet guy who studies hip hop fukkery online all day and talks reckless behind his keyboard) being able to ether and school Mal (the i'm way cooler than you, i'm all about respect and honor, trapped in the 90's guy) is just a reflection of where the culture is today. Kanye beating 50 Cent really changed the world, lol, since then the dudes we called "cornballs" back in the 90's and early 2000's have been a factor.

Look at Drake...a picture of him is probably next to the word "Cornball" in the dictionary...but so what? He's on top. The internet taking over opened the doors for all these "corny" dudes and "Chat nikkas" to be heard, Akademiks fan base is a bunch of dudes just like him, just without the platform, they love and support him.

Mal is probably disgusted at how this all played out, lol, he still thinks it's all about being cool and having some street allure and all that other old school bullshyt...there's a lane for that but the Cornballs have solidified their position in this. Salute to Akademiks, I respect the hustle. Akademiks is living proof that Fabolous' claims that "Having money can't make a corny person cool" was false, lol.
Great post :salute:I couldn't agree more.

They weren't workers they were cohost with 400 episodes worth of material :dead:. Each of them individually made the show what it is today, i can't believe y'all defending this foul shyt. " bu bu Joe budden started the pod" then why didn't he get it off the ground without them and with marrisa? No body gave a fukk about this pod before rory and more importantly mal stepped in.

Mal might go holla at Lil Shawn and get his shyt off there. Might be the only platform i could see him going on that he’d be comfortable with and that wont have the extra goofiness
