Yo Joe was bodying AK this episode

He clearly had got enough Sleep before going on

But I did agree with a lot of Joe Buddens points

I do feel like Katy was using the Migos 

Same with how Miley was using, Twerking, Ratchet behavior, white washing

But the Bad and Boujee being brought to another level thanks to Childish Gambino?

Nah!

I think it was more of the Memes and people saying "Rain Drop" Randomly

The internet really put that push forward

With each episode Ak lets me know he's less informed/smart that I thought he was. Yea, both artist will profit from a collab with pop stars but just like stated here, they will cherry pick a hot artist wring out as much attention and money out of and hang em on the line to dry out. Then go right back to pop and play the innocent role again.

Those memes were old by the time Gambino got on that stage. Like Joe said there are numbers to support that when Donald mentioned that song the amount of people googlin' that song went up exponentially. Yea it was a hot track but he put that song on a larger map

But how are they being "used" even if it's just sales of the song or performances they are gonna garner a lot of attention off the song themselves. Both parties benefit off of the collab, Katy gets to do her goofyass impression of rap & migos have another guaranteed track on the charts & a little more noteriety in the pop world. They used eachother.

Just because you benefit from something doesn't mean somebody isn't using you

[h1]Migos Refused To Appear With Drag Queens For Katy Perry’s SNL  Performance[/h1]

Over the weekend, Katy Perry performed  on the season finale of Saturday Night Live. She did “Swish Swish” surrounded by drag queens and “Bon Appétit,” her single with Migos. According to a new report from World Of Wonder  (which was later deleted, but not before Uproxx  circulated the information), there were supposed to be a lot more drag queens around the communal table that was set up on stage for the latter performance, but they were pulled because Migos refused to perform with them. Per two anonymous queens (and one SNL  staffer):

I was one of the performers on that table with them the whole time, during the rehearsal for 3 days. On the day of the filming, when I got there, I was told to leave. I wasn’t on the set at the time, but we were asking what happened. They said it was because Migos doesn’t feel comfortable with having drag queens there.

I heard it from the stylist. They changed the queens out in the Bon Appétit number, and they didn’t seem too thrilled during rehearsal either, with us there.

I work at SNL and the rumors are true! Migos held up rehearsal because they ‘weren’t comfortable with the drag queens’ being there. There were initially more drag queens on the set for that song, but after Migos threw a fit, Katy Perry’s team removed some of the queens from the performance.

Migos have a recent history of homophobic comments. Earlier this year, they faced criticism  for some comments in a Rolling Stone  profile about iLoveMakonnen’s coming out — which, for what it’s worth, Makonnen says isn’t a big deal  — and Quavo said that he’s not homophobic because he’s friends with Frank Ocean.

This is the scapegoat action now that Katy got the feature

Just from previewing, it sounds really good. From listening to his stuff over the years, I've had a problem with his beats, and I'm glad to hear that's not the case this time

Can't blame them, why would they want to be stage performing with some Bruce Jenners?


People be so quick to say "you hate gay people" just cuz you don't want that around you.

 

[6pac]

i have a feeling there's a button waiting to be pushed that paints the Migos as true bigots whenever they step out of line because it seems like they keep trying to make that an asterisk.

I think someone got in drakes ear and told him to squash all beefs so he doesn't wanna 50 cent himself out the game

all his interactions with artists recently have been painted negative

his people know that's not a good look

Somebody definitely told him try to make up with Kendrick

 

[Magic33]

best work he's done in a minute to me.

Arab gave him good beats

and It's not a depressing album. A lot of Joe's past work, once I heard it once or twice I was good.

 

[osirus]

It's a perfect sized album of Joe rapping without being sad. 8/10

 

[Narcissist]

Pretty mediocre episode today

 

[VARNELL HILL]

@ Joe apologizing for spazzing on Akademiks yesterday 

 

[streetballer23]

Maybe I missed it, but I don't know why Joe really apologized for yesterday, seems pretty Regular Joe to me....

 

[jus3]

He was extra yesterday with his insults.

'Accept my apology _ !!'

 

[tay1]

Maybe I missed it, but I don't know why Joe really apologized for yesterday, seems pretty Regular Joe to me....

He called him stupid like 8 times

Why aren't the videos posted in here?

I was thinking the same. It seems phony as hell.

Joe's last album was good, not great. It got great reviews, worth a listen.

 

[illphillip]

Edit: If Ak knew more he wouldn't be getting pressed so hard   

With each episode Ak lets me know he's less informed/smart that I thought he was.

Both of these.

 

[6pac]

only watched the first 20 or so minutes but it definitely seems like charlamagne is making a chess move trying to pull akademiks away so they can have their own thing

 

[Gordonson]

Why aren't the videos posted in here?

Because we've all seemingly managed to get to the videos anyway considering that people haven't been missing a beat on their episode commentary
