Joe Budden Admits He Enjoys Watching Other Rappers Fail at Podcasting: “I Like It” [Video]

Joe Budden has doubled down on his claims that his peers are “failing” to transition into podcasting.

During the most recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, he and his co-hosts debated whether “podcast money” was better than “rap money.”

“You know what’s crazy?  I’m looking at these rappers trying shows now, rappers from our era,” special guest N.O.R.E. said, “and they are so failing.  They doing sports shows, they doing comedy shows … They talkin’ about, ‘Yo, I’m up.  I’m just doing this for fun.’ No, you are not!”

“Tell the truth: it’s great to see people fail,” Joe Budden interrupted.  “You can’t take the blueprint and hire different contractors.  They sellin’ ass out here, huh?”

During the discussion, N.O.R.E. brought up Taxstone and the late podcast pioneer Combat Jack, criticizing them for joining Loud Speakers Network and “giving away YouTubes for free.”

“What was the sh*t that Tax and all them n*ggas was signed to?  What’s that label?  A dude named Matt ran it.  Combat, Tax, all of them was on this label, giving they YouTubes away for free.  I’m the first dude that had a three-deal for the same crack,” he added.
