When the creator of a podcast names their podcast, “The *insert creator’s name here* Podcast” you are in for a treat. Joe Budden is a retired Hip Hop artist/lyricist who represents the older generation of Hip Hop fans who simply don’t enjoy the newer acts the genre has to offer. His rants on today’s ‘mumble rap’ era has led to viral memes and gifs that anyone can use to express their emotions on social media.
Joe Budden is joined by his friends Rory and Mal, and occasionally a special guest to discuss Hip Hop and the culture surrounding it. The podcast produces episodes that are around 2 hours long and you can listen on soundcloud, or download the podcast episodes on iTunes. You can also watch the video podcasts on YouTube. The podcast has over 106,000 subscribers on Youtube and 37.5K followers on soundcloud. A good introduction to the podcast is “Kill Jay Z & The Story of O.J.” which is a episode where Joe Budden goes into depth with the first two songs off Jay Z’s new 4:44 album. It is a 8 minute snippet and if you’re a hip hop fan and you enjoy that, I recommend watching the full hour episodes.
