From Trump’s Desperation To Drake’s ‘Blackness,’ Joe Budden Opens Up In Candid Interview On MSNBC

In this extensive interview, rapper and new media entrepreneur Joe Budden talks to MSNBC’s Ari Melber about music, politics, race, the danger of secrets and the power of therapy and personal growth. Budden responds to several video clips, ranging from his early days in hip hop to greatest hits from his popular music show “The Joe Budden Podcast.” Melber and Budden also discuss Drake’s musical career, his verse in “Sicko Mode” about Kanye West and other recent comments; Donald Trump’s history as a sometime hip hop socialite and frequently name-checked character in songs; the evolving meaning of the term “For The Culture,” and whether Budden’s role in hi hop now focuses more on being a rapper or a media interviewer. (Budden appeared on a TV segment on The Beat in addition to this extended digital exclusive.)» Subscribe to MSNBC:

    1. It’s pretty hypocritical for these congress critters to criticize Putin for being a dictator (20 years in office), many have been sitting in power since the early 80’s when Russia was the Soviet union. Putin is still viewed as the George Washington of Russian by over half the population

    2. Reps terms should be 4 years, and a max of 2 terms. senators can keep their 6 year term but they get ONE term per state and must have resided there for 5 years…i want something like that put in place

  1. … Yes the Defence laid out facts,
    didn’t repeat same lies over and over,
    and showed how each step schiff did was illegal per constitution. [DS] in full panic !

    1. Kobe and his daughter are doing much better now yes we will miss them and so all their family but they’re in heaven doing a heck of a lot better now they’re not suffering at all try to remember that

  3. Either Joe is a genius and is saying “Hate Me Now” without actually saying it or he seriously has no one in his camp that could’ve told him that he’s not the guy who can pull off a coat like that and it’s not 1999 anymore when even Nas thought he could wear a coat like that

  4. DECLASS EVERYTHING!……….
    This is gonna be Biblical, it will no longer be safe for these people to walk down the street!

    1. Anthony D BLAME THE TRASH WELFARE tRUMP supporters, they literally care more about tRUMP then Kobe bryant

    2. I’m pretty sure the anchor that slipped the n word (mistake or not) is FIRED… because unlike Fox News, MSNBC don’t tolerate bs like that.

    1. @thesinaclwon
      The Coup, the Democrats and MSM are trying to pull on the country.. They have been lying and investigating Trump for 3 years.. When they/the Democrats have done everything they are accusing Trump of..

      Hillary and the DNC paid for the Steele Dossier.a.k.a the Russian collusion hoax.

      Quid pro quo Joe is the one on tape at the counsel of foreign relation, pulling the Quid pro quo on the Ukraine government..
      The Democrats are against the constitution when they start talking about destroying the 2nd amendment to the Constitution..a right to bear arms..
      I can go on and on. But I leave you with this.. What has the pass 3 president done for our country to make it stronger or better…? And Clintons economy was a boom do to the internet.. It wasn’t his policies..
      Trump 2020..He,s my president.

  5. I love how Ari uses his platform to represent the positivity and intellect of hip hop to an audience whose only other exposure is mugshots. Much respect Ari

  6. Doesn’t surprise me that Shift and most of the Dems are Compromised…..
    How many went to Epstein’s properties ? Who controlled the cameras ?

  7. Schiff and Pelosi together really makes the whole thing look so unhinged and disingenuous… it becomes easy to dismiss all of them as crazy.

  8. The Dems have been misleading the African-American community for years. Lies lies lies more lies!!! Now I think everyone is awake
