Escape Route and Padded Room>>>>

It’s criminal those two projects aren’t on streaming services.

Flip on here cooking

He’s been Joe’s main engineer on everything music and podcast related for the last 13+ years

And Mal was his friend for almost 15yrs lol

Are we talking business partners or friends? Ian and Parks ain’t going nowhere cause Joe knows they bring him actual value with what they’ve done for him over the last decade

Rory and Mal brought value and he fired them, stop overcomplicating it. It's not far fetched for Parks to one day not be on the pod anymore or for Ian to not be his manager. Joe is notorious for severing friends and business partners whether you bring value or not.

this is an insult bro of the worst degree.

Ish is in no way dumb. Def got an older and outsider perspective on a lot of s***.

But Mal is legit stupid af. Like real dumb

that nigga not talking on jbp was probably for good reason cause on his new podcast this nigga will not shut up saying the dumbest s***

like I said i'm a hypocrite

that's how you feel don't mean I gotta

niggas really don't like ish.

best part of the pod including rory and dumb ass mal

cuddles and hugs with her

him and mal two sides of the same coin

lol parks literally produces and engineers the show tho

parks introduced Ian to Joe and they took off right after.

Ian and Joe are like Joe's only true friends

Rory and Mal literally co-hosted the show tho and helped build it to where it is before Parks was on the podcast.
And they're no longer there. Joe will cut ties with anyone.

Y'all acting like an engineer is irreplaceable.

Ice is proof you should not be friends with men who don't get p****

Mr. Edgy got a girl and now he cant even make jokes on a comedy podcast

he got a daughter & he wants to be a better example for her, cant blame him for that. on top of that, he classes the old ice days as him just being a net troll. plus some niggas already came & ran up on him for it too

"I'd rush to pour more water in" is crazy.

Ish was in his mal bag

Its funny you say that cause shes EXTREMELY tame on this podcast

If joe could bring old melyssa out they would have something

True, even her tame self is nice though.

Easy on the eyes as well

Two more episodes of being called library and he’s out of there lol

Angel in My Life >

They say my symptoms are aggressive
They title me a compulsive obsessive slash manic depressive
They tryna tell me that I'm a con and I game niggas
That's one reason I don't even entertain niggas
Not important who they are I won't name niggas
They like to say I got a tendency to blame niggas
I keep f***ing s*** up but keep trying
If ya'll would just trust me I wouldn't just keep lying

I don't like how Joe puts down his rap career. The nigga made incredible music.

Do Tell too

Padded Room is probably my personal favorite Joe project. It’s the first project of his that I listened to and it’ll always have a soft spot for me

Joe just self conscious about his rap career because the industry never f***ed with him.

Like he wasn’t in beefs with nearly everyone

"All Love Lost" is probably my favorite Joe Budden project.

By the way, what was the reason that Joe gave about why he decided to retire from music in 2016 after he released "Rage & The Machine"? I know he probably talked about it before but I never heard it myself.

All Love Lost is great too. Probably his actual best.

someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I think Joe just felt that his Rap career wasn’t going anywhere and thought he’d be better off as a personality.

And I think he hasn’t dropped any verses since then because he’s just a stubborn ass dude and doesn’t want to be put in the box as being a “rapper” anymore.
