I liked the exchange between Ak and Joe about his career and think Ak touched on something but Joe really cleared it up and was sincere with his response. Joe's tone is the problem and he's so passionate about hip hop and certain topics people forget that deep down he's a fan first. Truth be told if Joe wasn't a rapper first he'd remind me of me and my friends when having hip hop discussions/debates/arguments.
AK on the other hand is like a hybrid spin off version of Wendy Williams and it disgust me at times. Straight up that boy needs a stylist so bad. Jesus he dresses like shyt and you can't really have a good hip hop convo with him b/c he doesn't know shyt. He only loves the fukkery that it spawns and the other shyt that's a byproduct of it. Joe hit on something else too which was on point when talking about Young Thug. He said he liked the artistry of the Jeffrey album cover and AK writes it off as amounting to nothing b/c it didnt put up numbers. The way he dismisses artist and tries to shyt on them b/c of sales is so fukking irritating b/c he misses the point and can't discuss the music. Its amazing to me that Rory is the same age as AK and is so much more mature and can have a damn near 2 hour meaningful convo with Joe (Ep 119 podcast) talking about hip hip and it be better than anything AK has ever attempted to say. Really good week for the podcast and ES show.
