Anybody listens to "the Joe Budden Podcast"?
Guest in the latest episode i Pusha T. A really cool episode.

Yeah I thought it was a really good episode, good to hear some insight from Push too.
He was 2 steps ahead of Drake throughout the entire beef, really masterful.

Because Kanye was snaking Drake?

Nope, 40 was snaking him to a girl he is/was sleeping with, and that girl told Push (or it reached Push somehow, he wasn't explicit)

That being said, I don't believe it's as simple as Push is making it out to be, on the podcast you get the impression that Kanye had no input into the beef, and I struggle to believe that.

Drake originally wanted to release early June and told Kanye this way back in Feb, then soon after Kanye announced that May/June would be for GOOD Music, so Drake had to adjust his album release. Also, Kanye produced the whole of DAYTONA so he knew that Push was calling out Drake too.

The way it panned out works in the favour of Push & Kanye, while disrupting Drake's entire roll-out, and I just don't believe that Kanye didn't orchestrate at least some of it.

Drake implies very differently in Scorpion.

Yeah, that's the point.
Drake assumed that Kanye sold him out, Push is saying that Kanye didn't tell him anything & the information came from 40.

Ah okay. I'm listening to the Budden podcast right now.

So it comes down to who you believe. But Pusha does say at the beginning of this podcast that in public you back your boy, if you have an issue you raise it behind doors. So he would protect Kanye on the podcast? That's how I'm hearing it.

And Drake's timeline of event seems highly/more likely, if not extremely coincidental.

Exactly this! Push comes across very well on the podcast, well spoken and has this facade that he doesn't care about the beef.

But this whole interview came about because Drake went on Lebron's show, and talked about his perspective of things - and Push seemingly cared enough about it to retweet tweets on twitter, then talk about it for at least an hour with Joe and his friends.
That's not behaviour I would associate with someone who doesn't care, personally.
Plus there's a level of hypocrisy too - you called out Drake for still talking about the beef, but then you.. continued to talk about the beef too?

Anyway it's still a great episode and I don't think either of them are telling the full story for different reasons.
 
Listening to them again will take me right back. I always liked their stuff, will be listening out for this. I hope they come back with the same sound, I'm ready for some early 00's style hip hop.
They were really unique. Their beats, their style(They really liked the colour purple for some reason), all the way to their logo. Will definitely be giving this a listen.
 


Why am I only hearing this song on the Joe Budden podcast?

This is storytelling Nas the way it should be - soulful/funky beat, no gimmicks, voice perfect as ever :drool::drool::drool:

Hoping his supposed unreleased album is more along these lines

Because that's all you seem to listen to? Lol

The whole Poison album is a riot.
 
What would you like to know?

I get in my ghetto, ratchet mentality when they come on :drool:

Ah! Makes sense. Apparently they released an album everyone is talking about on twitter. Sounds like the perfect vibe setter

Surely that could go for most artists mentioned in here :lol:

True, but Paak is uniquely special.

I haven't heard it yet, but i'm going out with my girls tomorrow so we might use it to set the mood and i'll report back with my findings :D
 
Gonna give the new Earl, JID & Meek Mill albums a whirl.

I'm not typically a fan of Meek, so i'm not expecting to enjoy it.
& JID is incredibly talented but his voice gets annoying quite easily, but i've heard good stuff about his album.
 
JID's was ok on first listen. Gonna listen to Earl today.

I saw Bas on Thursday. He took ages to come out and his set was kinda short but he was pretty good.
 
Saba's song is great. He's so good.

Earl album seems very scattered and short. It's kinda reminding me of Mm...Food.
 
Gotta say - i'm over Chance, is that controversial?

Didn't really like Meek's album that much, a couple good songs.
Jay's verse on Free was great, cant say i'm rushing back to listen to it again. But i've always felt that way about his music, i'm sure it will be received well universally.

Earl's album began to depress me and demotivate me from the work I was doing so I had to turn that off :lol:

I ended up listening to early 00's r&b instead:drool:

JID is pretty good so far.

I'm liking it, definitely a downer but then again so was I don't like Shit, I don't go outside. need to listen closer to the lyrics though, always find his rhymes to be so complex and so well put together.

Yeah he's one of my favourite lyricists because he's just so complex while sounding completely lackadaisical about it.
I'll have to go back to it when i'm in the comfort of home
