Joe Budden hasn’t interviewed many rappers on his podcast, and during his visit to the Rap Radar podcast, he explained why.
“I’ll still interview a rapper or two. I’m just not gonna make it how y’all will make it. There’s not too many of them that I wanna pedestal. I don’t really f-ck with all that, so,” he shared.
Joe says his past reputation is the reason.
He continued, “I was too scared to rely on anything. I didn’t wanna have to rely on guests. I was never that well-liked…but the people that come and f-ck with me, I have a relationship with them or somebody really, really close to me. Other then that, n-ggas be trying to pop up…but listen, I like that there are so many places for rappers to go. Cause I don’t wanna talk to them but I certainly wanna hear from them and hear more about them.”
Budden, a rapper himself, has retired from making music. Should he invite more rappers on the show?
