Yeah Ak has been acting way more arrogant and acting like it’s his show. He almost tries to talk down on Star and tries to big bro him like Joe use to do.

These last 2 episodes really frustrated me because Star was giving Ak and Nedeska his verteran opinion about the Grammys and why certain artist won and lost. And those 2 just REFUSED to understand where he was coming from. They thought he was on his :troll: shyt but he was breaking down quite clearly on how the shyt works.

Another think I’m starting to notice is that Star is slowly showing everybody how uninformed they both are. Especially Akademiks.

When Star asked both Nadeska and Ak why they didn’t watch the Grammys and there responses were “I don’t have cable” and “I don’t watch TV..” i literally went :mindblown:

Like this is your fukking job to be informed on shyt and you would rather get feedback from twitter and what the general public tell u instead of making up your own mind.

When Star said “I watched the show for BUSINESS purposes because i thought we were gonna have a INTELLIGENT conversation about this..” that was him looking at the viewers on some “:sas1: see everybody? These nikkas ain’t shyt :sas2:


Star is single handily breaking this show down piece by piece. And he doesn’t even have to do much...

Sooner or later he gonna put Ak in his place.

star wasn't breaking down shyt. he was trolling most of the time. yesterday he was going on and on about how alessia cara deserved to win best new artist, but last week, he said that sza was going to win best new artist because of her impact on the culture and on females lmao.

also star's argument yesterday for why alessia cara deserved to win was bullshyt. if you look at the criteria for best new artist, its "For a new artist who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist." AC released her first album in 2015, she had a top 5 single in 2015 and a top 10 hit in 2016. on top of that, shes been winning "best new artist" awards from multiple organizations since 2015. if star was really breaking shyt down, he wouldn't be arguing for AC at all, because its clear she doesn't fit with the Grammy criteria for best new artist. IMO AK's point was much stronger, that shes receiving a heavy label push and its possible that stuff in the background is what led her to win the Grammy.

also you don't have to watch the Grammys to talk about it. What do you gain from watching the Grammys over looking at a list of the winners at the end of the night? all you miss are the performances (majority of which have nothing to do with hip hop or the awards) and the acceptance speeches (which are useless most of the time). Watching the grammys doesn't put you at any sort of advantage to have an intelligent conversation about the winners and why they won and why others lost.

I'm a Star fan but I'm a go head and say it, he is TERRIBLE on this format. They should give him his own half hour show, like a show just to rant on current topics, he can bring in a guest here and there if he wants but this strictly rap music shyt is not his lane at all, plus he has to censor himself on top of that. For yall that actually like him on this show, what do you like? Lol, this shyt so wack it's hard to watch. Its like Andrew Dice Clay trying to censor his routine to do FM radio or sumn, it's just bad. Budden was the perfect person for this kind of show and the perfect person to spar against Akademiks, no one can replace him

But Dame actually ran a label, oversaw contracts & was deep in the game. Star was, more or less, media just like Nadeska & Akademiks. He has 2nd hand info as a spectator but Joe had 1st hand experience.

That and this is a job for Star so there's no passion in this for him besides looking to outdo the other 2. He just here for a pissing contest and he has his hands tied behind his back.

:russ: You know when somebody has an opinion based on nothing. That's you right now

Nadeska and Akademiks too fukking p*ssy and millennial to handle somebody like Star. Can't watch more than 10 minutes of these brats that are trying their best to poke at an "old" man that's paid dues longer than they been alive :camby:

I don't know how you can watch this. Luckily I never watched the show when Buddens was on because Akademiks and Nadeska are retarded.



Star: So water's chemical formula is H2O. That means for every one oxygen there are two hydrogens and it's connected by covalent bonds.

Nadeska:

Akademiks: He must be trolling.

Nadeska: Lets move on.

Nadeska and Ak double teaming and dismissing Star is so whack. Especially when they couldn't figure out what he was speaking on when it came to the Grammy's and he broke it down to them.

With that said I noticed they don't have Star's name on the intro screen and they have a banned smoking sign in the background of the set artwork if you pay attention which could be a shot to Joe so that's interesting :jbhmm:

Star and Nebraska need to chill out.

Glad to have you back Akademiks:sas2:

Star has decades in the biz...Ak & Nadeska dont have close to the expertise Star has. They need to stay in their short lived lane

I didn't expect this dude Star to be turned up all the time, even on his radio show that was not his style. I'm convinced Budden fans watched for the ranting and raving and nothing more.
