Drake Responds To Joe Budden’s “For All The Dogs” Criticism: “You Have Failed At Music” [Video]

Drake isn’t feeling Joe Budden’s criticism of his recent “For All The Dogs” album.

On Saturday, the two exchanged words after Budden expressed his opinions about the newly-released album during a recent episode of his podcast.

“[Drake is] rapping for the children,” Budden said. “I had to look up how old this n*gga was when I finished listening to the album … You gonna be 37 years old. Get the f*ck away from some of these younger n*ggas, and stop f*cking these 25-year-olds. … Why are you still f*cking the 25-year-olds? You’re a 37-year-old billionaire.”

Budden proceeded to make an unfavorable comparison between Drake’s career and that of J. Cole.

“Cole used to rap about kid sh*t … And then he started to grow up. And then the rapping sounded like an adult rapping. I want to hear adult Drake rapping for adult people. That’s my issue with him today,” he added.

Shortly after, Drake reacted to Budden’s remarks in a lengthy social media post, stating that the rapper-turned-podcaster had not succeeded in the music industry.

“You have failed at music. You left it behind to do what you are doing in this clip because this is what actually pays your bills,” Drake wrote. “You switched careers cause the things that pop into your brain had you broke living cheque to cheque and the raps you write had 450 men showing up to your shows in dusty Enyce jeans to screw up their face to Mood Muzik 29 and pretend you are the goat.”

Nevertheless, it appears that Budden is taking a step back and admitting that he may have gone too far.

“I got a little carried away lol the content should mature a bit tho… 1 day,” he tweeted.
