    Dat nigga Ace

    Idk about you but if a nigga told me he dont owe me respect last thing I care about is “performing” lol

    another instance where he communicated poorly.

    what he really wanted to say was that he doesn't respect what he brings to the pod and doesnt care about respecting friends when it comes to business. Business comes first.

    Thats basically what he communicated on the Patreon podcast

    But he couldn't say that without hurting his feelings so he tried to tip toe around it and it still sounded crazy lol

    Dudes itt saying Rory and Mal didn't do enough to warrant some form/part of ownership yet those dudes went on a whole tour with Joe for the show...y'all think the podcast would've gotten to that point without Rory and Mal? Do y'all think they would've gotten to the point where they could get the Spotify deal?

    Y'all need to stop tryna downplay Rory and Mal's roles on the show and what they contributed that made the podcast what it is. Y'all know damn well when you hear "Joe Budden Podcast" you're thinking Joe, Rory, and Mal. Quit that "bums" and "bench players" talk. Also stop tryna big up Joe's yes men on his network as if they ain't gonna say whatever they have to just to remain in Joe's good graces. The nigga has shown historically he is a manipulative nutjob. Most people see the hypocrisy in his actions, and that's why in regards to this situation, the optics are not in his favor.

    savon & screenman has words for Mal & Rory at 1:39:36 need to know podcast

    “i wish they leveraged something off Joe’s name, at least start something outside the network. but maybe the passion wasnt there, which is fine”

  • I get at the end of the day this is all business but you can’t preach something for years and not stand by it. Then you treat your friends that was with you at rock bottom like a random dude on the street. Telling they personal business and rocking with a dude they have beef with. That’s some foul stuff

    Probably, I was just thinking how so much s*** been out about joe for the years, it would take a conscious, orchestrated take down to take down joe and that would take a lot of hate for the man imo on mal's end

    a lot of effort

    he wasnt

    and thats what ppl don't understand

    Joe was in the same position Rory and Mal was in but the difference is he had a strong case because him and AK made everyday struggle what it is. You could make a case they both deserve equity since the show was their idea and the value they brought in.

    Even with that, he understood that he was an employee. It wasn't until he investigated and everyday struggle became one of the biggest hip hop platforms at the time that he saw his true worth

    Joe left and tested that theory and he was correct. The numbers went down and sponsors backed out until eventually the show ended.

    But Complex was within their right to deny him the numbers too because HE WAS AN EMPLOYEE.

    He did the same thing with Spotify and guess what, it landed him an executive position at Patreon. He put in the work.

    Mal and Rory can't do that. They don't bring what AK or Joe brought to Everyday Struggle. They overestimated their worth.

    They tried to dip and found out they were easily replaceable.

    bench players talking like starters

    Let’s be real, Joe was never going to give equity to anyone or even be in a position where an opportunity would

    For sure. I think people are so focused on the podcast. Joe has been trying to build a platform from the start of his career with Joe Budden TV. I can see him thinking I've built this by myself from the beginning and had a few cohosts along the way.

  • May 13, 2021

    people also forget how bad the pod was when all that dog f***er s*** was happening and Joe wasn't in the mood to speak. Those two bums Rurrrrry and mealy mal didnt bring anything to the table. people are kidding themselves thinking joe needs them. Joe is the show.

    In every project Joe has been apart of from State of the Culture, Everyday Struggle, and Love & Hip Hop he has been the reason people Pull Up.

    He doesn’t see it because he’s SELFISH. All he could’ve done this was to negotiate like 5%-10% split between them but he doesn’t want to.

    This is a reason why big companies have leadership teams, for preventing huge meltdown/messiness like this that tarnishes the brand.

    Exactly Everything comes out of Joe pocket and he does the partnerships and the strategy behind the scenes. These dudes were collecting a pay check and not reinvesting back into the company. If that isn't employee mentality I don't know what is. They should be trying to grow the business, getting partnerships, take less profits and help Joe with the costs.

    Yes.
    Joe looks at the podcast and Joe Budden TV/Network as one giant operation. I’ll Name This Podcast Later was a culmination of Joe Budden TV.
    It was based off “his lifes work”, so when Rory and Mal say they helped build it, Joe looks at it from a different lens. Its based on “Me”.

    Start up.. meaning Rory and Mal helped build the fundamental foundation of the JBP.. and they don’t deserve at least some equity right?

    Niggas is delusional to think the podcast couldn’t work without Rory and Mal.

    Joe can make the podcast work with ANYONE as long as the chemistry is there.
