Joe Budden Blast Logic For Use of N-Word & Ice Cube Cover

Joe Budden, an outspoken hip-hop personality, has recently joined the growing chorus of critics lambasting a live performance by rapper Logic. During the set, Logic performed an acoustic rendition of the legendary song “Today Was A Good Day” by Ice Cube, but Budden, along with many others, was unimpressed with the melodic approach the rapper took. Budden’s criticisms were harsh and direct, as he expressed his desire for Logic to retire from the microphone for good.

“I’m begging you, Logic, pleading with you,” Budden implored. “Please join me in retirement. Be allergic to microphones. Promise your fans nothing. Don’t go to the studio ever again. You are the worst, yo! You are really, really bad!”

Budden‘s frustration with Logic’s performance was palpable, and he didn’t hold back in expressing his opinion. He even took issue with Logic‘s usage of the N-word in the song, stating that he was offended by it.

Logic is just not himself. I just think that Logic should be himself. He panders to the Black community every other second,” Budden said. “Well, that’s the problem with panders, is that they always gotta find something new to pander to.”

Budden’s distaste for Logic’s rendition of the classic hit is not a new development. His feud with the Young Sinatra rapper dates back to 2017 when Logic released his album “Everybody.” Budden, along with other hip-hop critics, was unimpressed with the project and made his feelings known on his popular podcast.

Despite the backlash he’s received, Logic has remained undeterred in his music career. He’s continued to release new music and perform live, even as his critics pile on. Some fans and fellow musicians have come to his defense, pointing out his positive impact on the industry and his dedication to his craft.

However, Budden is not alone in his criticisms of Logic. Other notable hip-hop figures, including Charlamagne Tha God and Akademiks, have also expressed their disappointment with the rapper’s recent work. The criticisms have sparked a debate within the industry about what constitutes “good” music and who gets to make that determination.

While opinions on Logic‘s music may be divided, there’s no denying the impact he’s had on the industry. He’s sold millions of records, won awards, and has a loyal fan base that continues to support him. Whether or not he chooses to retire from music remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Logic is not backing down in the face of criticism.

In the end, the ongoing debate about Logic’s music raises important questions about art and expression. Who gets to decide what is “good” or “bad” music? Is it the critics, the fans, or the artists themselves? And how do we reconcile the often-conflicting opinions of these different groups?

Ultimately, the answer may be that there is no definitive answer. Music, like all forms of art, is subjective and open to interpretation. While some may find Logic‘s music to be lacking, others may appreciate his unique style and message. As the debate continues, one thing is certain: the world of hip-hop will continue to evolve and change, with or without Logic at the forefront.

Bruno Mars might be in some hot water with MGM.

The “24K Magic” singer announced a multi-year residency with MGM Resorts International in 2016, performing at the hospitality giant’s Park MGM resort in Las Vegas.

However, the relationship between the 38-year-old and the hospitality giant may have gone sour as the singer’s gambling has allegedly racked up large debts at the poker tables in Las Vegas, according to NewsNation.

“He owed millions to the MGM,” a Vegas insider told the outlet.

Another source added that the debt is as high as $50 million.

“[MGM] basically own him. He makes $90 million a year off of the deal he did with the casino, but then he has to pay back his debt,” added the insider, claiming that the singer only makes $1.5 million per night after taxes.

Part of Mars’ MGM contract reportedly included the creation of The Pinky Ring, a cocktail lounge inside the Bellagio Resort. NewsNation reports that another project is in the works as well.

Method Man is one of Wu-Tang Clan‘s most recognizable MCs, yet he’s revealed he’s not watched a single episode of Hulu’s Wu-Tang: An American Saga series.

The New York rapper joined Kevin Hart for a recent episode of his Golden Minds Podcast where Meth explained he’s never watched an episode because he wanted to allow the show to take creative liberties with its story and not feel a way about it.

“So to see this come to fruition on screen, it was a no-brainer for me knowing how RZA works,” he said. “In the beginning, it was like, ‘Wow, they’re taking a lot of liberties here with the story.’ In hindsight, knowing how some of these things work, and embellishments and sometimes dudes still be having open cases and shit so I could understand.

“I haven’t watched an episode, personally, but I get the scripts ahead of time. Everything ain’t for everybody, that’s all I could say.”
