The Official Joe Budden Podcast Thread

[EzekelRAGE]

Nah, no hate but the Rory and Mal days were super overrated. Rory is and will always be lame as fukk.

We probably seeing the best days of the pod RIGHT NOW.

Rory and Mal spent more time shouting nikkas out and regurgitating bad blog posts than anything else. Neither of them could ever provide any area expertise, which will always become stagnant;

nikkas acting like they dont remember a shytload of eps where Joe was trying to make shyt happenand all you heard was crickets on the b mics. Both Rory and Mal trying to protect w/e business relationships they had. There was more than one occasion Joe was like "I'm putting myself out here trying to provide content and yall aint doing shyt".

Joe: "What's yall thoughts on such and such?"
Mal/Rory: *some safe ass neutral answers*

the Joe Haters Coalition will say they were silent because joe was fukkin them over. but their work ethic was ass. joe was overpaying them

new show is same shyt too, slight criticism but a whole bunch of because of industry connections

I agree Rory is trash, but we’re they suppose to jump in and pretend that Joe lies and misunderstanding of stories, were the truth?


Even when they would correct Joe he would say he’s just being silly or his classic line that he doesn’t even use anymore. “ o no I wasn’t saying that I was saying this” funny how he doesn’t forget shyt like he use to always do when his arguments were trash.



Joe ruined the pod with his ego and Mal & Rory went right along with it because they were getting paid. Ice & Ish aren’t good at podcasting and before Flip showed up Ice was a church mouse sitting there.

Mal barely talked and when he did this nikka used to repeat the same line like 50x’s…

“You know what i mean when i say it’s just goood music, like it really is just good music, when you got an artist that is so talented what else do you really expect, good music”

It was excruciating listening to Mal talk for more than a couple of minutes. People have rose tinted glasses about the how much Mal and Rory actually contributed to the pod.

I think cause the peak of it was really funny, Rory was a shooter so when him and Joe were funny they were funny when not lmao they were corny

 

[Silkk]

Yeah Rory shot….But the mofo was only hitting like 20% from the field.

Parks does a great job of getting his one liners in here & there and never forces it. If you catch it you catch it, If not you don’t. And his shyt actually be funny most of the time.

Rory wack ass just never stopped with the corny ass jokes

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Rory n Mal era, the highs were super high…the lows were super low.

We can blame them or look at it from an overall viewpoint, it’s hard to keep feigning interest in a topic you don’t care about or a topic that has been done over and over and over. Which happened a lot.

The lack of personal stories from the 2 of them was wack, also refusing to join in on the singing.

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

I will say the podcast from late 2017-late 2019 was pretty funny

Finally somebody that fukks with parks. Bro does a good job of fitting in where he's supposed to fit in.

It's always been Joe > Rory > Parks > Mal, unless Mal and Joe got into a good flow which starting happening less and less as Mal seemed to either be quiet or weirdly contrarian/confrontational over shyt like covid or whatever.


Mel and Flip really helped revitalize the pod; even if I started to like the joe/ice/ish formula, it was starting to get a lil eh as suddenly ice stopped talking as much and ish saw this more of a debate than a podcast

Flip is really bringing energy up and encouraging everyone to speak their mind and Mel is like the opposite of Joe - a person in the industry with a lot of experience and stories, but is more calm and level headed, and accepting of flaws or prior mistakes without trying to find ways of justifying it.

They got an amazing dynamic now where Rory and Mal seemingly only get talked about when they say some wild shyt (Mal paying for the entire dinner if a girl he's fukkin with is on a date or this snoop shyt).


Imma be real, Mal is a boring personality. Rory would even be a great fit in the current JBP tbh.

Rory and Mal got sonned by Akademiks

Imagine if Ak tried to get jokes off on Ice and Ish

 

[RebelX]

 

[DeeezNuts]

New ep is up ..

 

[gldnone913]

Yeah, Ish, Mel and Flip bring a different dynamic to the podcast that R&M didn't have. I also think that Joe has better grasp on what he expects from his cohosts.

Niccas still tryna get those trash ass takes off in front of a professional football player

They’d probably would get sonned too, Flip the only funny one. Ish is a lil slow and Ice just isn’t
