Joe Budden Clashes With Co-Hosts Over Andrew Schulz’s Kendrick Lamar Jokes
The latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast stirred up some intense discussions, which is typical for a show known for its passionate debates and bold opinions. This time, the spotlight was on comedian Andrew Schulz and some controversial jokes he made about rapper Kendrick Lamar. While co-hosts Ice and Emanny thought Schulz’s humor was fair game, Joe Budden strongly disagreed, labeling the comedian’s comments as tasteless and unacceptable. The conversation began with Schulz’s jokes coming into the spotlight. Ice and Emanny defended Schulz by arguing that he makes fun of everyone equally and doesn’t hold back when it comes to any ethnicity or celebrity.
They questioned why Kendrick Lamar should be treated differently if Schulz was joking about various public figures. Joe Budden, known for his straightforward style, quickly opposed Ice’s view. “I’m not letting Ice support that,” he said, clearly frustrated. He disagreed with the idea of laughing at Lamar’s expense and pointed out that Schulz often targets Black artists in particular. Budden emphasized that this comedian walks a fine line between being funny and being disrespectful.
This lively debate highlighted a bigger question in the world of entertainment, where do we draw the line when it comes to humor? Some believe comedians should be free to joke about anything, while others think it’s essential to consider context and history. Budden’s stance seemed to come from a deeper concern about who jokes about Black artists and how those jokes are interpreted. Although the discussion didn’t reach a clear conclusion, it showcased why The Joe Budden Podcast remains a hot topic in hip-hop culture. The mix of passion, disagreement, and honest viewpoints keeps listeners engaged.

Amanda Fagan unveils lost love and regret on latest release “Forever Yearn”
Amanda Fagan‘s latest release, “Forever Yearn,” is a tragic love story of pride, lost opportunity, and the harrowing knowledge that some mistakes can never be undone. A young couple at heart, wild and almost in love, but whose pride prevents the relationship from flowering. Their story doesn’t end with seeing what went wrong. It hurts more because you don’t see it for years.
“It’s a song about breaking cycles, but the characters are caught in the consequences of their choices. They learn from their mistakes, but knowledge cannot change the past. What remains is the longing for each other, which gives the song its emotional weight and its title, “Forever Yearn.”
Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the song feels like a love story that never gets old. Fagan’s premise blends regret and longing, showing how pride can linger long after an alternative decision could have changed everything. So “Forever Yearn” is less about lost love than about two people wondering what might have been.

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”
iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.
The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.
The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.
