On Saturday's (March 14) episode of the JBP, the ex-emcee didn't hold back his tongue regarding Electronica's debut musical offering claiming that the "Better in Tune" rapper was outshined by his Roc Nation counterpart. Budden expressed his disappointment with the project that took nearly a decade to find its way to hip-hop fans. At approximately the 32:15-mark of the episode, Joe Budden gets candid about his thoughts of the project stating:
"It is a mistake. As a rapper, I'm telling you, he (Jay Electronica) got smacked around (by Jay-Z)." Joe continued, "Granted, this is hate, but it's rapper hate. Because, when y'all move the goalpost, as a rapper, I see it. For the last decade, y'all have mentioned Jay Elec with Hov. And Jay Elec positions himself that way on arguably one of the greatest tracks ever on 'Exhibit C.' That is God level rhyming."
The 39-year-old media personality then went on to clarify his statement of 'hating' A Written Testimony around the 41:00-mark, declaring:
"I hate this album. F*ck what y'all talking 'bout. I hate it. Hate is my underwhelmed. For me to say I'm underwhelmed, I didn't go into it expecting anything."
While Joe Budden might have been disappointed with Jay Electronica's performance on his debut release, ex-Roc-a-Fella associate, Choke No Joke, revealed his disdain for Jay Z's contribution to the album writing one hell of a soliloquy on his Instagram account taking shots at the Roc Nation head honcho.
