Joe Budden has never shied away from saying exactly how he feels about a specific topic. One just has to watch his commentary on Drake to know exactly what we mean. His interview with Lil Yachty from 2017 is also a great example.
Throughout the years, Budden has always been a big fan of Jay-Z. On his podcast, he is always proclaiming Jay as the greatest of all-time. In fact, he has oftentimes called himself and his co-hosts the "Hovengers."
However, following the Roots Picnic, Joe has decided to take a different approach with his Jay-Z commentary. This time around, Budden found himself on the critical side of the equation. Ultimately, he didn't like the fact that Hov took shots at people like Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tony Buzbee. Given his long hiatus from music, Budden would have preferred to have heard something else.
Joe Budden Speaks
Budden also found it hypocritical that Jay spoke to GQ and said that battling was over. Given the content of this freestyle, it appears as though Jay-Z no longer believes what he said a few months ago.
Elsewhere in the podcast, Joe Budden and his co-hosts theorized about Jay's rollout and whether or not the album is coming soon. Some feel as though the album could be out within the next month or so. As for Marc Lamont Hill, he heard from a reliable source close to the situation that Jay is, in fact, working on a new project.
The idea of a new Jay-Z album should excite hip-hop fans everywhere. After all, Hov is one of the greatest of all time. It has been almost 10 years since 4:44, and the fans want to hear what he has to say.
