Joe Budden has continued his tirade against Logic by begging him to retire from music.
During the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, the host told the Maryland rapper to “never step near a recording device again” following his divisive singing cover of Ice Cube’s “It Was a Good Day.”
Budden’s comments follow various jabs over the years, including calling Logic “one of the worst rappers to ever grace a microphone.”
“Logic, I hate to continue to make a career at your expense,” he began. “I don’t hate it, actually. I’m glad that I have a little list of you that I get to — [laughs] that’s horrible to say. One day I’m gonna grow up.
“Logic, I beg of you, I’m pleading with you: please join me in retirement. Never step near a recording device again! Throw your phone in the ocean! Be allergic to microphones! Promise your fans nothing! Don’t go to the studio ever again! You are the worst, yo! You are really, really bad!”
He continued: “And then when we think he can’t get any worse, you have the bright idea of doing an Ice Cube flip.”
The crew then pressed play on Logic’s aforementioned “It Was a Good Day” cover, with Joe Budden remarking: “This is the unsauce-iest band I’ve ever seen. Look at this band. Who asked for this folk version of this song? Oh my God.”
The former Slaughterhouse MC and his co-hosts abruptly stopped the music when Logic sang the N-word. “Throw the flag! Is he Black? Is he allowed to say ‘n-gga’? Who gave him that pass?” one asked.
“Logic says that he’s half-Black, [in a lot of his records] and in a lot of his interviews, and anywhere that he gets the chance,” Budden explained. “Logic says that his dad is Black. He hasn’t seen his dad. He has no idea, he just saw a couple pictures, heard at the family reunion, ‘You know your dad Black, right?’ He heard that from the n-ggas in the hood.
“But listen, I don’t want them to think that I’m race-baiting here. I am not. Let me make my problem with Logic very clear, because people be confused. Logic is just not himself. I just think that Logic should be himself. He panders to the Black community every other second. Well, that’s the problem with panders, is that they always gotta find something new to pander to.”
Joe Budden went on to explain that he’s had an issue with Logic since his 2017 hit single “1-800-273-8255,” which was named after the previous American National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number.
“I had a beef with him since he did that 1-800 mental health number shit,” he said. “I thought that was disgusting, but I could have been wrong. But ever since then, all of that Martin Luther King, ‘We Have a Dream,’ freedom fighter speech shit he be trying to do, I don’t buy it. Now, I can be wrong in that.
“I don’t know where to begin with why I don’t buy it. I think that if you have to do so much pandering to make someone believe it, then I think you’re trying to make yourself believe it.
“And if you’re trying to make yourself believe it, then I think that maybe you had trouble with identification growing up. And if you had trouble with identification growing up, then I think that stems from somewhere like a lack of a parent presence, or somewhere else.”
He added: “But you weren’t born with that, you got that from somewhere. So him telling me his dad is Black, that doesn’t really say nothing to me.”
Logic was clearly having some fun on the record. Something Joe didn’t know how to do. Whenever Joe made a radio song that seemed fun, he was basically giving his nuts for a plaque he never earned.
The cover really wasn’t that bad on some chill shit
The logic song isn’t the best remake of all time but asking the man to retire is a little harsh from a guy that didn’t do anything great logic has some amazing songs and lyrics I just heard about Joe Budden today
Joe Butthead
Joe Budden was one of the worst rappers ever. All his shit was garbage. I cant remember one Joe Budden hit single and Im from his era. All the good OG rappers are still active. The ones that gave up rap for podcasting did so because they sucked. Joe Budden, Nore, Ak, etc.
You sound dumb, you’re from his era but you don’t remember ‘Pump it Up?’
Theres not way he’s from the same era, he mentioned Ak as a rapper, I’ve never heard a single Ak song in my life. Don’t intend to neither.
Pump it isn’t better than one fuckin logic song though
How does a washed up rapper who basically doesn’t have anything of note get to trash down logic? Logic could run circles around Ho Budden
Thas cap. Rap is corner cuz of these cats
I agree with joe on this one.
Logic a dope MC, you can easily recognize his skillset. Now, he’s not my cup of tea and that’s all Joe should have said. But nope, he gotta turn into a housewife and take shii all the way overboard…
I agree with Joe if his talent was better we would allow him to be bi-racial stop please retire
I agree with Joe if his talent was better we would allow him to be bi-racial stop please retire
I agree with Joe if you were better at rapping we’d allow you to be bi-racial, this was trash retire
LMAO, look at this nobody thinking he can allow anyone to do anything XD
Logic 2 million followers, Karen Joe has 375k or something along the lines
not gonna call it “hating” cause I hate that word, but dude got something against Logic for real like he got something against Michael B Jordan. can Logic be corny sometimes?
maybe… but he’s also very talented and seems like a good dude. let the man be!
Whats even funnier than Logic doing a cover of “It was a good day” is the clip of Logic doing Joe’s song “Pump it up” I think thats why Joe’s mad at Logic? Because Logic is yet another whiteboy that would destroy him on the mic and can afford to make Joe his employee. Other than that I can agree that Logic can stop reminding us that he is half black…we got bro. And PLEASE stop saying the N-word!
Who is Joe Budden? No one cares. Nobody listing to dude. Logic is crazy talented. If you disagree whether you like him or not you are either jealous or lack the ability to recognize talent. Or you’re just an idiot

I mean…. his dad was on his first studio album, so it seems he’s seen more than just a picture of him. Joe, once again, comes off as the angry old man yelling at the clouds. Not sure how logic can be the worst if he’s better than Joe… and I was one of the few that actually liked Joe.
Honestly Joe, fix up you make yourself look like a muggy clown. Logic raps rings round you.
Logic has put out two really good albums in a row. His latest is really damn good. There is no need to retire. Joe can stay retired from rapping.
Big cap. logic even did an interview with his dad. Its on the internet. Joe budden first hating on Cole now on logic. Logic cole and Em need to finish this guy. Then he can just retire and suck off his dog like he does everyday
Joe Budden is wack and there’s a reason why he’s the forgotten and ostracized dude from Slaughterhouse. Logic has dropped some weak shit for sure but the majority of it is dope hip hop which is more than Joe can say for 90% of his output. This tirade is proof that he’s the one who shouldn’t be using a phone, computer or anywhere he can openly express himself.

Joe Budden calling out someone else for having an identity crisis, and he doesn’t even know what his own sexual preference is. This guy. He used to be a dope MC now he’s a gossip queen getting gayer and gayer. I guarantee this dude will be dressing up as a woman in the next 5 years. I’ve never heard one Logic record. Not one. I don’t know where this guy’s demographic is. But obviously he has fans somewhere.
Logic is definitely one of the worst rappers I’ve ever heard, his lyrics sound like a 5 year old who just discovered Hip-Hop. He’s very cringy and hell of fake, I can’t take dude seriously, I never met any of his fans but I’m pretty sure they only listen to him at home
Logic is definitely one of the worst rappers I’ve ever heard, his lyrics sound like a 5 year old who just discovered Hip-Hop. He’s definitely passionate about the craft but it’s not reciprocated, he’s cringy at best and horrible all the time
Logic does have skills. Not my cup of tea for the most part but he’s nowhere near the “worst MC” conversation. Joe Budden makes a living crapping on people having success in a genre that he left without making any real impact. The guy is basically a bitchier version of Loose Women. It’s a shame because he has made some great songs and was a very capable MC. But as a person…. He looks like hard work to engage with.
God I wish Budden would shut the hell up already

Angry old Joe gotta hate on someone who’s half white half black then talk about how he isn’t race bating? Sorry you’re no where as talented as Logic brother , sorry you don’t have his kind of money brother, sorry people don’t recognize your name brother, sorry that your one sorta kinda hit that never got past what… 38 on the charts?? Sorry that bop don’t come close to comparing to what Logic has and still does put out brother. Stick to dissing like Millie Vanilli or something
Yes us from La over here we’re not too crazy about a lot of discrimination that’s going on the Latino culture is beginning to see that the Black Culture even down to bet and everybody that’s connected to it is discriminating against any type of artists that are Latino or white or any other culture that hate has got to stop in this day is the fight which is just the beginning
People need to be worrying about creating music that’s what people need to do not discriminating against other people from other cultures over here in Los Angeles the Latino culture is being discriminated to its key how many levels so music is not just about black folks so black folks need to realize that
