Slaughterhouse rapper and podcast host Joe Budden is not feeling Drake on his new album.
In a clip promoting a new episode of his “I’ll Name This Podcast Later” show, the “Pump It Up” rapper praises Noah “40” Shebib‘s production on the hit album, but goes in on the Toronto megastar for failing to push the envelope lyrically.
“I think that that kid on that album that I heard sounds real fuckin’ uninspired,” he shouts in the IG clip. “That music sounds good and I enjoy it. I played that album all the way to D.C. and all the way back multiple times. 40 you sound amazing. 40 continues to progress. Drake you do not. I said the other day on this podcast I miss the Drake that starts the waves, not hops on other waves and I’ll say it again: I miss the Drake that pushes the fuckin’ agenda, not lets the agenda push him.”
Budden dropped several other clips on IG debating Drake’s new project with co-host Rory, telling him in one, “I don’t have time to listen to this fuck shit that you’re saying. I’m not telling you to not have your opinion. It’s just wrong.”
He also explains in the caption for one of the videos that he’s a Drake fan, but that he “just look[s] deeper.”
Budden said on Twitter today that the full episode will drop tomorrow (May 5). Check out iTunes and Soundcloud to hear it.
Joe Budden’s Instagram posts calling Drake uninspired on VIEWS are below:
Damn Joey. Just put out an album. Stop yelling. And maybe he is not interested in the music because none of it is his lyrics.
Says Nobody.
This dudes whole career sounds uninspired. And I’m not even a Drake fan.
Joe can’t even give his opinion on anything without offending someone lol
Dont worry Joe, this commercial album will grow in you.
I agree with him!
I definitely agree. I didn’t really feel the album.
Oh poor baby then go listen to Joe Budden or better yet young thug they have such substance and perspective in they music ????.. Elevate your listening dum dum.. This album is classic you need to understand the structure.
classic wack garbage, fake drake always has been and always will be the biggest bitch made pop princess puppet in the industry, 81 writers on that piece of shit album and that’s the best they could come up with! even ovoqueer stans are dissing that piece of shit. #dj akademiks #the 6fraud with views from a bitch #drakeisfakedrakeiswack
Meh, shocked he liked much of his stuff in the first place, reminds me of how great I heard Wayne was for years and then everybody started to repeat it until they realized he wasnt
How can anyone sound inspired if they’re fed lines? Yes, an actor can come across as inspired by rehearsing the script until it fits their personality. But, you know what? Hip hop is a totally different beast. Yes, a manufactured rapper can make their songs believable, but, does the song translate to an long lasting emotion evoked in the listener? No, not really. Like, I can listen to an Eazy E song once a month, but I can listen to a Pac song every damn day.
And the only thing thats trickling down is how music is consumed. Thats it. The streets will always dictate music progression–no matter the genre. In other words, take heed to making fully, repeatedly streamable album, which means very few interludes, maintaining the same emotion throughout the project, and never deviating from a prepackaged formula. And lets be honest, music has been that way way before Drake even existed.
you are correct sir lol
this nigga want drake to answer him so bad
eh.
theyreactually friends so :l yeah.
not even a big drake fan but shut up buddens cuz apparently 600k people in 1 day didnt think so .. smh… hatin a$$ has been.. let the youngster live!
How can a person day one judge if an album is hot or not? Exactly, they bought it based on the name

He only sold 600k cause of his name. He is right the album is trash. Worst Drake album to date. Garbage. And oh.. I’m a Drake fan by the way.

Drake never pushed the envelope. Niggas was just to scared to admit he was a wack rapper with good marketing. Now the tide is turning , niggas want to speak up but ain’t shit changed. From day one he’s always been a mediocre rapper whose popular because he’s light skinned, has shallow lyrics, and caters to bitches. Music AR 101
This drake would give girls orgasms but the drake we know had a pure thing that based on lyrical prowess.

“On some DMX shit

I tell em they belong to me / That goes on for forever
And I think we jus get closer when we not together (*sniffle*)
You tell me that Im confusin
More immature than Marques Houston
Cuts too deep for a bandaid solution =(
We too deep in this thing to never lose me
LOLOL Im glad you find this shit amusing :'(“
Aint enough trash emojis to fully express how basura this boy bars is startin to get. Shit is like a teacher caught two 12 yr olds passin notes n read the funny parts out loud in front of the class n somebody threw a beat under it. J. Cole wouldnt even use these rhymes…
Stop biting bigghost or at least wuote him properly

Your mom keeps biting my dick.
Aubrey might gotta swallow his little pride n iron out whatever happened between him n Quentin Miller cuz whoever wrote this shit for him clearly aint strivin to be the next Black Thought or Pharoahe Monch namsayin.
Wow you just as bad as hhdx stealin ppl work and not giving credit. I see you theivin big ghost now eh
I fucked your mother last night
Budden is entitled to his opinion, but Views is up there with Take Care IMO. Drake’s the most consistent right now.
No
Views is honestly without a doubt a crap album..Sad thing is paid for most the songs on there…He should go ask for a refund…This shyt gay..Drakes cottonell,poor guy got his shoe pissed on in a theatre and didn’t do nothing..He’s a pop star like a rap version of a Hansen twin or a male Brittney Spears
Joe just been drinking that haterade… He said that Drake has been talking about the same shit the last two albums… SMH… This coming from a dude that release 3-4 for albums called “Mood Muzik” !! If he ain’t feeling it ok I get it but that is a stupid ass reason… I would say Joe’s first album is one of my favorite hip hop album but he fell the fuck off… Drake is making good music period… And I didn’t want to like that nigga but his shit is fucking dope!!!
Nigga you know damn well you do t listen to Budden. If you gonna ride for Drake and diss Budden just do it. But don’t diss man acting like you know his music
We must remember that Budden is a true Drake fan, but is being honest with his opinions. I’m a Wu head, and came to the realization that they just weren’t bringing it any more. I do love A Better Tomorrow though. But it hurt me to admit the magic was gone. I was honest with it. I feel Budden is in the same mind state. We want our idols to be immortal, and never want to say they missed a shot every now and then. It’s okay to do so. Maybe they’ll get inspired. Don’t hate Budden yall. It hurt me when I had to admit certain Wu joints or albums sucked. But I’m still a fan. Shout out to the Wu.
Wu-tang released 2 good albums…the first 2…EVERYTHING after that is meh…and I been a wu head since day one. sorry.

before anyone puts their one cent (because most of you are DumbFucks) go listen to the podcast. the whole thing and see were budden is coming from. HHDX is just baiting you idiots.
wat number podcast was is?
Drake is my drug
Drugs are bad, m’kay.
Joe Burden saying is another rapper is uninspired..Pot meet kettle,kettle meet….Joe been sounding below average since mood music 2..
Drake is the biggest culture vulture in hiphop’s history. Props to him for his work ethic and hustle.
Whose culture is rap? Last time I checked Drake was a nigga.Funny how all yall favourite rappers love him but only the ‘nobodys’ hate him.
Drake is massive to muslims because they can pull of his look, massive to dews for being dewish, and massive to teenage girls because he’s the definition of a fcuk boy. Thats his fan base, not hiphops traditional demographic if you went to a hiphop concert ten years ago.
I was coming here to grow a shade tree for Joe Budden, but then the motherfucker made a lot of sense. So is it less Joe Budden being overly opinionated and biased, or Hip Hop DX click baiting because they some click baiting sumumbeeeitches? I’m conflicted. Big dicks in ya ass are bad for your health
TPAB is like light years away lol
Views is better then anything kendrick or j cole has ever released….6godking
So Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer must be two of the best rappers ever to you if it’s all about sales?
How, where’s the proof, don’t mention sales either
Its all about sales
Yous a fucking retard
budden is the weakest link in slaughterhouse and hasn’t released a decent album in YEARS….so I dunno how he can comment on anyone’s music….make an album worthwhile that people actually like and then maybe ill take you serious….until then…PUMP PUMP PUMP IT UP!
He can cause he’s an excellent lyricist, that can wreck shit, you niggas sound like record execs that don’t know hip hop and want to but your scared of the artist persona, when they speak to you in ya face. Sales don’t dictate quality, but it’s sad quality doesn’t sell as much
I agree with budden, except the part about playing it all the way through multiple times!!!!
Fuck Canada for giving us Justin Bieber and Drake…
I need Aubrey’s 2 inch in my pussy aaahhh
It’s crazy cause niggas say fuck Justin Bieber, but he puts out quality shit and that’s a fact, unless you the know the artist personally shut up, cause you only know of there music.
He does know Drake personally
Jesus Christ, why don’t niggas just admit views is trash. Stop tryin to save this shit
