The show being gone has nothing to do with Joes baby. I was watching Ak's stream yesterday. They are negotiating with complex, trying to get a bigger bag.

Edit:I think the video posted above explains what I just said^^^^^^^^

It's not that they want him to yell but if you're gonna be respectful when they are there then be respectful when they are not there, if your gonna harshly critique them when they are not there then keep it real and harshly critique them to their face. Why pop all that shyt then when they are in front your face you love them all of a sudden and it happens constantly. That's why they say he never keeps the same energy, Joe is fake. Though to be fair the way how many rappers are sensitive with ego problems it's hard to critique these nikkas.

As @MrRDU said Joe speaks out both sides of his mouth. Plain and simple.

so basically, like i said yall just want fukkery?.....i mean, when guests arent there, they have free reign to talk uninterrupted and share their opinions...when they have guests, the point is to let the guests talk and respond to what they said....if he asks questions and/or the guests respond to what was said, what is the point of joe still going on like the guests didnt?...that's dumb...the reason he doesnt 'pop shyt' like yall say is cause he already has and the guests are responding to it....

another example that shows people just want fukkery is cause yall acting like he really has an issue with people.....he doesnt, he's giving his opinions about whatever the topics are....but since it's a hiphop show, people act like joe supposed to ice grill/snuff the guests when they come on or something just cause he said he didnt like their last song....this is a debate show, nothing more/less....it's the same as first take, undisputed, etc....most of the time, he just saying shyt to disagree with ak so they can debate, he's said this plenty of times....

No, I don't want fukkery and you are contorting and playing with what I said. I just feel Joe should remain consistent and also the guest usually give bullshyt answers or he is not as harsh when asking the questions. My point is if you feel that way then go in like that when you are in front of the guest. That is the difference between Joe and a radio legend like Star from Star In The Morning. I mean even Charlemagne though he nit picks and plays favorites would harshly critique a guest in front of their face. Only guest Joe did that to was Lil Yachty if we are being real.

I know it's not personal which is why I said he is critiquing them. He has no real issues with these people but as I said before people in hiphop have ego problems and are sensitive so they don't do well with critiques but it's his job to stand his ground regardless. Another thing is Joe not only changes position when guest come in front his face but Joe also would talk a lot of shyt then apologize, I understand there are times he doesn't know the facts but if that is the case he needs to stop speaking from a place of ignorance and learn the facts, do his homework if you will.

what is the point of going in again if he's already gone in?...he'd just be repeating himself and ignoring the fact the guests just responded to what he said the first time...also, him being harsh just to be harsh would get them no answers from the guests, and people would stop coming to to the show......no, the main difference between joe and the ones you mentioned: he was a artist, so he knows how it feels to be in that seat....so he knows what will get the guests to open up or shut down....and since he is the one that really carries the interviews (except when guests wanna go at ak), he knows being a dikk just to be one (which star and ctg do) would be counterproductive....

for the most part he does stand his ground....he only changes his mind/apologizes after he's done his homework, like you said....and that's not gonna change cause that's the draw of the show....it's pretty much a hot takes show, but they just have a better chance of getting the person of their topics to come talk to them, unlike most sports debate shows....

:salute:

To Joe for speaking out on that fukking bullshyt track Em dropped. He might be on some bs some times but when the truth needs to be said Joe will be the voice! Same with AK, he might not be everybody taste but the man speaks and lives by his word. I hope we see a season 2

The thing is he is not consistent though, he plays tough when they not there but constantly back peddles. I understand letting them speak and open up but his opinion is never solid. Simple. He should be able to challenge them in their face man to man if what he felt was genuine.

for the most part he does stand his ground....he only changes his mind/apologizes after he's done his homework, like you said....and that's not gonna change cause that's the draw of the show....it's pretty much a hot takes show, but they just have a better chance of getting the person of their topics to come talk to them, unlike most sports debate shows....
Nah, actually that's one of the stupidest parts of the show. He needs to do his homework more and take shyt a little more serious. I understand hot takes but to be ignorant is to be ignorant, cmon son. Joe is just unprepared and says whatever.

Joe can't be taken seriously. I was a fan of him back when he was doing his JoeBuddenTV and blog tv shyt. Dude is a walking talking contradiction. The fact that he has a voice and people listen to what he says and takes him serious is baffling.

Ironically Ak's notoriety is actually enormous but Ak don't know any better to negotiate terms

Does subscribers really equal notoriety? I didn't know who Akademiks was until this show came on. Not saying Joe is a household name, but anyone who follows hip-hop is familiar with his name.

Ak had over a million subscribers before Complex called.

Everyday struggle initially did numbers because of Ak. Even now if you run through the comments on their vids it's all Twitch nikkas

And I don't even like the nikka but those are the facts. People still not hip to how big this Twitch money is

Ak didn't completely know his worth and Complex took advantage of that

Yeah, I know how many subscribers he had. I guess I'm behind the times as to how important that could be when leveraging pay. I guess Ak just probably couldn't negotiate.
