The Official Joe Budden Podcast Thread

[Lord-Yosh]

Joe is right. He's talking to a specific group but loud enough for everyone to hear

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

There were people who thought joe was stupid for Not re upping with complex

there were people who thought joe was stupid for getting into Spotify world

There’s people who think he’s stupid for turning down an offer

they’ve all worked in his favor though

But let the coli 8 figure accountants rock

I personally probably wouldn’t have been able to turn down the extension though

 

[John Mexico]

Not gonna lie im enjoying the MAGA Mal shyt.

His presentation of the 10 miles of wall built per day and the following explosion of laughter

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

For what it’s worth, Joe is a lot more talented than Charlamagne, Van Lathan, and definitely Crissles, so I can respect him putting them in their place.

He’s also right about Charlamagne being a forever worker. He tried to jump into the YouTube lane and no one cared. He will be signing another TBC deal come December.

He’s also right about Van Lathan being a token black guy he signed with Bill Simmons after that article came out that he’s a racist POS. He’s comfortable being showcased as the black best friend.

Joe might be going to war without a war chest, but he’s so determined (at least on the surface) I hope he gets whatever it is he’s looking for

Yes, I agree with all of this too despite my feelings towards his handlings of the situation. But what do I know?

From that Spotify statement I think Spotify believe the pod has peaked

I’ve even mentioned in this thread a while back how is this Podcast gaining audience?

 

[AMcV'88]

lmao at Joe's thirst for Dani Leigh or whatever her name a few episodes ago.
when he mentioned Melii



keep the thirst about her to yourself old fella.

I know a little more about the podcast business through a guy that works at Anchor but I wouldn't really apply it to Joe's situation.
but eh... the discussions not for...not money in my pocket.

I just have it on in the background on YouTube while I'm doing things.
so I don't care where or who they end up with as long as they're happy enough and its still on YouTube.

Spotify really trying to make a dent and nobody really cares. Apple just going to continue hosting the podcasts keep it moving.
I listen to a podcast were they do commercials for Spotify on it because Spotify gets thats certain podcast a day before people who listen to their podcasts on Apple get it.

Dame Dash was still right whether he failed or not

Depends what your goal is.
I’d rather be a brain surgeon than own a hotdog stand in Montana, which is laughable according to his reasoning. Dames black and white view is for the birds. Being an employee at Apple and owning 0.5% of the stocks goes against their view, but in reality it means that you’re worth 10 billion bucks and doing what you love.

People forget that Joe Budden still has jobs too.

I don’t think anybody has figured out how to gain audience yet..as far as established podcasters and the companies behind them

in joes case it’s probably shyt like bigger venues and actual tours instead Of the 3 date tours they do now sporadically ...and with that offer, Spotify would probably take most of that money anyway lol

spotify is just trying to beat that moment up front before someone figures out the real way to do it ..really every company is trying to do the same

You don’t think Rogan and Simmons have more and more people tuning in to their podcast every episode?

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

The market is becoming too saturated. Everyone is just following their favorite celebrities now rather than genuinely enjoying podcast for its content. If someone has an audience they are gonna make a podcast, especially in these times where there’s not a lot of entertainment opportunities out there because of the pandemic.

Joe was one of the first to do this type of content. Probably the 5th out to do an somewhat in-depth hip hop black cultural podcast and make it work. That’s early.

But they haven’t really done much to really expand. I think joe’s biggest audience came from ES and the fallout from that. I think they would have had twice teh audience they have now if joe stayed on complex.

 

[jay211]

It's hard to explain, but Joe's reasoning for not taking the Spotify deal is correct. He will get more money elsewhere. In a couple months this thread will be full of people saying, "oh shyt, Budden was smart to not Spotify deal"

That's what made me laugh about the whole rant at Charlamagne. He acts like he ain't got a job at Revolt or like he didn't have one at Complex. Joe is sounding like Kanye to me right now. More than willing to work with the white man until he doesn't get the funding he wants then it's "the white man is racist and ain't paying us our worth".

I also predicted dead on what Spotify's respone to them is. I knew Spotify would hit them with the fact that their podcast has stagnated and they want to see what they are doing to grow the customer base which Joe confirmed on this pod. I think my guess was right to in regards to the bonuses. That while Joe looked at it as a bonus for being number one spotify gave the bonus based on new listeners. So when they hit number one the second year that didn't guarantee a bonus because they didn't bring in many new users. I equated it to salesmen in my corporation whose bonus benchmarks are new sales made each year. Even though they've brought in customers the previous year who signed 5 year deals come year two it's as if those customers don't count.

I ain't saying that to shyt on Joe or anything but I've seen from the outside how these corporations work and how cutthroat they are.

rogan is a lot more guest based so their guests supporters/fans follow and some stick around ..And it’s a lot of top tier guests .. (I’ve never seen/heard
His or Simmons podcast so I’m going off clips I see)..so by default he probably gets more

JB Rarely has guests and when he does its mostly nikkas like lucky day that nobody has ever heard of , for the last 30 minutes of the show so the Views won’t change much ...the show is more built around the hosts ..and nobody in podcasting world has figured out how to maximize that fully yet , which is why they all do their own things on the side

Joe seems to be more focused on sustainability, that he can put up good numbers with his routine over and over ...but doesn’t want a company to eat off some interview he does with young berg on a different platform

 

[gldnone913]

Joe had bars for Crissle too. shyt is real when he won't even mention her name lol. I'm sure their podcast still going though.

And it's wild how them nikkas at Loudspeakers always talk shyt about Joe. shyt is wild how Joe is still good with Charlamagne when he actively tries to fukk w his money
