Mane when it come to the xxx dude joe BEEN trying open Ak eyes up bout Shorty ....he kept telling him to watch who he associates with and distance himself especially since he obviously wasn’t listening to any type of advice Ak gave him
Akademiks keeps trying to associate himself with the most questionable dudes...doesn’t help that ppl’s respect for him is already shaky, he’s not gon learn about the right way to move until it’s too late
Akademiks isn't the big homie or friends with these guys. He's media. Rappers contact him regularly. Asking X for his side of whatever story is going on isn't going to hurt him in anyway.
Joe just likes to twist the context of things to make it fit whatever agenda he's pushing.

Lmao at Complex flexing on him, Both AK & Joe gained way more exposure... Joe seems to already have a deal with bleacher report, wateva he's working on with Charlamagne & his podcast. He's in a good position.

*** Budden getting dropped
Show not gon be the same. It's gon be less entertaining, and I doubt they find a suitable replacement who can make it somewhat interesting. The best they can do is get someone who listens to all the music they talk about up there.

_ sound like Kanye
Yeah, CTG didn't call anything lol
He said it wouldn't work after 2 months cuz Joe and Ak would clash too much not after 8 months complex wouldn't pay Joe.
This show is gonna be boring as **** if joe is gone. As crazy as Joe is he's entertaining.

ES is a wash if Joe is gone. They need his negative energy. If Joe gon Ak need to leave too

The show can survive since this sort of format is badly needed in the hip hop world. Ak has a big following too. But they need someone good working next to him. Shouldn't be too hard to find but I don't have any faith in Complex choosing the right person
Picking someone that actually listens to music would be great though

On Joe’s podcast, Ctg specifically said the show would end over one of two reasons. Either Joe would walk away because he tends to get in his own way, or the dynamic between him and Ak, wherein Joe doesn’t respek Ak’s opinions, would get old. I don’t see how that’s hate at all. ****, the former is what’s currently playing out. Both Mal and Joe even agreed with the sentiment tha Joe gets in his own way.
Imo, It seems as though this is a money grab being concealed and operated under the guise of protecting “integrity”. It’s wild funny to see it coming from Joe because last week he hopped on Sean for not having any for the most trivial of reasons.

fully believe Joe is just trolling...
Show is getting a new set and everything. Nobody is going anywhere.
and yall replacement recommendations were comedy and would not work. I have no issues with Nadeska at all. but if she was to be replaced I would want another female not another old rapper.

What is lacking "integrity" about wanting to get paid what you believe you deserve

the concept is so simple anyone with a real opinion can replace both of em
it’s just that some of the viral moments may be gone or fewer and further between
but joe created the show and picked the squad so he and ak should be paid

Let’s all take a moment to relive his finest moment on the show. The “Budden Growl and Pounce”

What is lacking "integrity" about wanting to get paid what you believe you deserve
I’m glad you asked that my friend. Walk with me.
In all seriousness, there’s nothing wrong with being paid your worth. Me suggesting otherwise would be foolish on my end. But to view it objectively, we don’t know how much Complex is offering, and we don’t know how much Joe believes he deserves. So let’s not speculate much on this part since all we have to good off is what he’s made public on his dealings with Complex. He said in the past is that he’s being paid, and it stands to reason that you wouldn’t stick around 8 months if you felt you weren’t being given your just due. I’d imagine Complex isn’t paying him crumbs.
The point I’m driving it as the idea that Joe sees himself as “a creator” and has been vocal about not doing things for the money. The guy has been on his podcast plenty of times saying that his moves aren’t based on monetary aspects, and he’s mentioned that his Jewish manager Ian is often at odds with him about that decision.
Now with everyday struggle, the way he himself is presenting it suggests that money aspect is the primary reason he’s choosing to walk away. That directly contradicts his statements on choosing to move for reasons other than the bag. It’s even more interesting now that he’s claiming that he created everyday struggle on his Twitter (how true that is, I don’t know).
Imo, that contradiction is indicative on a greater lack of “integrity”. More so than him calling out Big Sean and Metro for a money grab.

Yeah that’s it.
Had nothing to do with WANTING feminine energy to balance out the vibe...and everything to do with me being uncomfortable with too many men on the screen.
Keen observation
