Joe Budden has made his opinion on Hip Hop’s new wave of rappers crystal clear: he doesn’t like them. Joey recently took aim at self-proclaimed King of Teens, Lil Yachty, on Complex’s “Everyday Struggle” series by calling him a “troll.”
He specifically shared his disdain for Yachty’s Teenage Emotions album cover, which embraces diversity and is representative of what society would consider social rejects.
“I don’t think that Yachty is Hip Hop,” Budden said. “I don’t think that Yachty’s label [Capitol Records] is Hip Hop. When you’re not Hip Hop and you’re trying to just troll or exploit, you get things like this album cover.”
The “Pump It Up” rapper then suggests Lil Boat is pandering gays and is ruining the Hip Hop culture. Joe does think it’s a good strategy though and cites the impact of Lil B’s I’m Gay album as an example.
The 19-year-old Grammy-nominated artist, who is used to this kind of criticism, responded with a tweet of Lil B’s diss record aimed at Budden from six years ago called “T Shirt and Buddens” as his “mood.”
Joey apologized to Yachty fans on his podcast Tuesday (April 25) and responded to Yachty’s tweets by praising Lil B’s 2010 diss. He’s just having fun everyone!
Ghost writer!!!!
You spelled “ruining” wrong on the home page. Is your only education a 2 week training certificate from Burger King?
Todays Uncle Toms are forced out on todays youth and held up as this what you should look like dress like just look at this buck wheat buck dancing and smiling this clown needs his head chopped off
I gotta be the biggest Joe Buttons hater alive. I’ve been disgusted with his music ever since he appeared on NBA Live 2003. I can’t think highly of a “man” that is constantly at war with divas. All his rap beefs with men usually end up with an L. He only has his head above water because he’s surrounded by 3 actual MCs… but with all that said, I totally agree with Buttons on this one. He is absolutely right. Damn I never thought I’d see the day where I’d ever side with Buttons.
I was thinking to myself… where is Budden’s place in hip hop.. haha.
Ummm his last album was fire tho.. and the his album before that was fire as well.. I understand ur a hater but ur really gonna sit on here and act like he can’t rap?? Lol
lil floater in the toilet
Is it supposed to be ruining or running hip hop?? Coz runing aint a fucking word! Stupid hhdx fools dont even proof read the title!!
I’ve never heard a lil yachty song but I find his face to be highly offensive and feel violent impulses to punch his face whenever I am subjected to look at it.
don’t be so mean cuz errbody know dat boy retarded.. Lil Boat here took the short bus.. he’s a sped
hoe buddens don’t want those problems with the boat and, especially, the based god. thank you yachty for that classic throwback and thank you based god for making that rare classic.
Viagra
the gay madia had Joe Budden backtrackin fast. that cover is a bunch of freaks. can you guess why the two dudes on the cover kissing just happen to be white? because it’s your typical jevvish propaganda aimed at white kids so they turn gay. why do they want white kids gay? that’s easy. because when the white kids are gay, they won’t be having white children. it’s all about lowering the white birth rate for the chozenites. the agenda has been, is, and will always be white genocide. it’s disturbing. and it’s one hard (red) pill to swallow, but once you do it you learn to see thru their propaganda and manipulation. it becomes easy once you know the agenda.
The fuck are you on?
*gay mafia. sorry for the typo there.
Ctfu gay mafia ????
this cover arts obvious marketing ploy is begging for a spot on the “top worst album covers of all time”. How gonna collect a nice bag for it but it’s definitely a weak ass little aesthetic he’s tryna pull off
Speaking about these guys just gets them more famous. He’ll just die out like mims or a hurricane cris. Fake things don’t last. Know that
2pac & others from that era didnt try to push a gay agenda. Also og’s from that era actually had something meaningful to say. This lil yatchy bullshit is just that bullshit. So i disagree with your statement these lil young shitbag adding nothing to the culture doo-doo garbage gay agenda pushing muthafuckas need to be called out!
Only good thing about the album cover is that people will play the album less just so they don’t have to look at the cover. Just like that Sia album.
lil b went hard asf on this
Yo mumble rap is for the uneducated. But lets be real for a second here… lil b murdered that shit… like….. holy shitballs, batman he went ALL the way in on that you can’t hate.
I really like the album cover, it shows diversity………I absolutely hate Lil’Yachty’s mubble bullshit (can’t call it music). The cover is really good………for such a bad rapper
TO ALL MY HATERS…..EAT A DICK
hahahahahahahhah he takes shots in the face
Well hip hop is constantly changing with the times if people can’t except that maybe they need to stick to r&b or jazz or something that basically stays the same, half the rappers that’s out now wasn’t even born in the hip hop era of the late 80s and the 90s. Also music made by kids is for kids but I’m here for it because they doing their thing making money and having fun and obviously not afraid to be who they are
First of BITCH make up your own name….. Second EAT A DICK…..You bitch ass hoe
Edubb, you could argue that 90s rappers did push a gay agenda. Look up Katt Williams standup he has a joke where he talks about sagging your pants. That trend started in prison with gay inmates. Sagging your pants was a way to let other inmates know you were gay & dtf. The he asks his son what signals you tryna send? Kid went & got a belt!
