The Official Joe Budden Podcast Thread

[DraymondT]

Only Joe could try to rationalize inadvertently admitting to sexual assault as an attack on black men, wrongful incarcerations and deflect the issue as being the fault of podcast listeners clipping the segment

I don't care how many nasty nikkas there been or will be Joe got a HOF spot on the All Sick nikka 1st team for life. Deranged ass nikka. It's why he's entertaining but his lack of self awareness and accountability is like a confused and narcissistic female.

Patreon episode called Hakuna Matata.

Basically Joe drafted up some of the most bullshyt contracts ever for these dudes.




Basically says if they leave they aren't allowed to start another podcast, they aren't allowed to quit or Joe can sue them, but Joe can fire them at any point without compensation. ICE signed probably not knowing the details, Ish didn't sign because his lawyer said the contract was really bad and would leave him in a situation where he'd be liable to be sued by Joe with no recourse. Joe's mad that Ish got a lawyer to read the contract, claiming he wouldn't sue because they don't have anything Joe could take.


Joe is a true scumbag

No shyt. For real?? then do Ish and ICE seem so ride or die on the pod When they getting fcked?

To be fair he has no problem with them venturing out (as said on the episode) he just dont want another rory n mal situation where if they leave they potentially become competition.

Thats contradictory. If you venture out, you will become competition…

Because they're freshly coming into the seats and seeing the fruits of labor of 2 nikkas who helped Joe build the brand of the JBP for 5 plus years beforehand.
2 middle aged men making 400k a year to sit and talk for 6 hours a week, and they got baby moms coming after them... Joe sees their vulnerability.

These people humanize Joe and make him seem pallatable to society, Joe doesn't understand this. Thats why RM washed their hands of him.

Nah i mean venture out while still on JBP lol

Like Ice been on another podcast or 2, he streams on twitch.

As long as they arent partial owners in the pod, they will always have the threat of becoming competition. IMo, since joe wants them to be salary, the risk will always be there that they can leave for their own thing. Its human nature.

Exactly. All of us here...if you owned your own content "network" wouldn't you want your guys to become popular enough to branch out and do other shows? That's how you attract new listeners. It's why Joe goes on No Jumper and deals with that racist cac. It's why he goes on Math Hoffa. Why wouldn't you want Ish going on a real estate podcast to talk about shyt and maybe bring some new ears back with him to the pod. Why wouldn't you want Ice talking sneakers on some hype beast pod. These dudes are not movie characters who have IPs controlled by one company, like James Bond or some shyt. Why wouldn't you want them branching out lmao.

B/c Joe is a moron and thinks they taking away from his Starletts budget. I remember how obviously bothered he was when Ice was mentioning his Twitch page and how much traffic he gets. Stepped on it immediately. Even Rory and Mal back in the day. They were at events without Joe and he would obviously be bothered trying to hide it under jokes.
Kevin Hart summed him up perfectly
"That’s an example of poor leadership. That’s an example of why you are where you are. This is why. Here’s the answer. Point blank.”

Yeah he didn't want them to go on other podcasts and discuss similar subject matter to the JBP, which is an interesting catch-all bc they talk about a little bit of everything on the JBP

Wait, where you getting the 400K number from?

Thats just a hypothetical number a saw for a b mic on that level

 

[Menna]

Joe looks for relaxed looks like he is closer or feels that he is closer to where he wants to be...

The way shyt is going with comedy damn near all the jokes will be censored on this pod

This shyt about audio/video moving so quickly and freely is super wack for them cause now you'll have people like Shaderoom just looking for any black man to say a stupid joke and try to make it seem like it wasn't just that. No context, no asking for comment, nothing. Saying stupid and outrageous things have been part of both guy and girl talk comedy since forever.

The whole thing about this pod is that it's supposed to feel like it's a couple of good brehs talking shyt, cracking jokes and covering sports, hiphop and piff

 

[Silkk]

Joe loves bragging about being the only podcast to not do ads......

Joe a control freak, in true Virgo fashion.

Ish and Ice are his friends but Joe likes being the "star" of the show, socially and professionally, and both Rory and Mal wanted more for themselves than to just be role players. If Ish and Ice started to branch out, more opportunities will be thrown their way, more networking and connections, more people putting them up on game and then their options start to grow which gives Joe less control.


He wants to keep them under his thumb, just like major labels do with their artists, because its how you get the most out of them.
