It hit me hard when he said X would mature and grow out of that
In a way he did grow out of it however it wasn't for long
he did, faster than most, he just unfortunately had to go early 🖤🕊
X's album was actually good, shit made me miss the ex I never had
Ron Yuma I started crying by the 3rd song I was confused cuz all I ever heard was like look at me and I am and some stuff with ski.mask. I wasn't ready lol even after the intro
Terry Wallace nigga you gay
shut yo ass up. get a real ex and then you can start crying
y’all really fake deep lmao
@@anthonyfantanoisacuckifuck2536 fr tho
had to come back to watch this... rip xxxtentacion
please stop calling him 'triple x', he isnt a wwe wrestler lmao
mokahi702 yes he is.
Geneva acted like he was
His name is just dumb long
mokahi702 Will you can't call him X, X means DMX
Mtn Dew 4 Breakfast to pursue rapping and fighting? Hold up you're telling me Xxxtentacion was trying to be an MMA fighter? That blows my mind lookin at him
"he's 24".... even worse lmao
Michael Johnson they never getting this dudes age right.. he's 23.
Michael Johnson Thought I was only 1 caught tht 😂😂😂
Lmfao
Michael Johnson he's not he's leaving earth at 25 he would've died this year
AmazingDeku he said 27
akademics looks like he about to smack budden in the face
dapo subair 😂
dapo subair naw he tryna picture Drake naked
AK off dat Henny
i think joe budden a hater on Lil Uzi vert because he doesn't have songs out like uzi but you know he is washed up
Matthew Saunders But...Uzi's music is trash though...
We're in an era of rap where the producers should be paid more than the rappers.
for real
Afflictionnz - brother, Producers DO get paid more than rappers!! Esp. The ones w/cred & in demand.
Afflictionnz nah, still wouldn't say that. niggas dont listen to a track cause metro, mawly raw, or pierre bourne produced it. They like the song cuz uzi or yachty are on it. the artist still make the song popular.
balmainkrazy no when i see tm88 or metro or dp on a track witha rapper i dont know i wanna hear it
Afflictionnz #FACTS
Opinions on music are pointless. They just get you mad or give you the affirmation you were seeking.
Marcus J couldn't have said it better myself
Yet here you are
Marcus J budden is a depressife grump, ofc he will like X and he doesn't like "fruity" rappers... But when it comes to youngthug, he cool. This nigga weird
The point of sharing music opinions is to gain a greater understanding of a music project by looking at it from different points of view. Of course music is subjective.
Marcus J getting someone else's view point ain't ever pointless. Yea you might disagree but no one is gonna ever agree on everything because that just makes shit boring
Can we not forget how good the way life goes is??
Finally a comment about uzi
RIP XXXTENTACION
im happy joe likes x frfr
In Luv is Rage 2, uzi tried to show everyone that he could make songs sound good without good bars and he tried to show his melodic style of himself.
X is an artist , not a rapper , of course he can sing
Truth
Danny truth
A rapper is an artist
are you saying a rapper isn't a artist? u dumb af
Lavar Ball no hes saying he does more than rap he can do a variety he doesnt have one genre
13:05 look how proudly he speaks on x. Breaks my heart man.. Rest in peace xxxtentacion
RIP X, LONG LIVE X
Akademiks tryna look nice for nadeska today I can tell

I take Joe very seriously.
TheIGGod me to except when he tlkin bout Kodak
Joe Budden the type of guy to say Triple X for XXXtentacion
LcJ The Kid fr 😂😂
LcJ The Kid - Well, it's quicker to say. (or "X" simply.)
RAPSTA still mad corny lol
LcJ The Kid cause there's already an X in the game calling xxxtentacion X is disrespectful.
Raymond St . John there's an x? Lmao never heard of him

RICER GARAGE How? He wanted a explanation on why he only said it was trash
There ain't no Magnificient song lmao
OTFxKenshiro I think he meant malfunction😂😂
Bruh even Apple Music it’s self was dickriding uzis album on instagram
OTFxKenshiro budden is such a grump, the song that should be close to XO tourlife is Darkqueen
OTFxKenshiro Jocelyn Flores
Full Burst Dear momma
X's album was amazing... It had flow, beats, Melody, and most importantly lyrics and I liked Uzi's album for the vibe but x's was way way better
ItzATC lyrics? Lmfao
letras1288 have you heard Jocelyn Flores bruh? the flow and lyrics were meaningful and great
PurrpSGP hes really not
PurrpSGP You’re a sad lil disrespectful prick who has to insult deceased artists who did more in their lifetime than you ever will...PATHETIC little shit!
luvdisc fym uzi was depressed back in 2017 smh
My son akademiks finally discovered the mall
730 Haitian underrated comment
Akademiks lowkey wanted to fold joe lol
LOL FOREAL? FOREAL.
Kimani Supreme hi key more like
... I used to hate x and his screaming music but after 17 i loved him. How he expresses his feelings and emotions through his songs are just beautiful and almost artistic. I do not think anyone else can do this type of music as well as him. Hes a one of a kind. Luv is rage 2 wasnt what i expected, but it was still okay.
Didinotmdkdn Ll Trippie Redd is kinda like him. Love Scars. Yeah.
Didinotmdkdn Ll people shouldn’t have to do what you expect.
Same
i love where Joe Budden stands in the rap game lmaoo
svdd sosa so like nowhere??

Joe is too much, one comment "Trash." and a long ass silence 😂😱😭🔥
Why Nadeska always look so stressed?
Tripper Getem because Joe never lets her speak.
Fabz Fabz please stfu
MUK facts
Fab StillSmokin damn
Tripper Getem LOl
Uzis album went platinum but somehow it’s “trash”😭
Joel Weise I’m the biggest die hard uzi fan but that album had nothing over love is rage 1
Sean Mower agreed, luv is rage 1 had bangers like safe house, top, paradise, super saiyan, and nuyork nights at 21
veRtt luv is rage 2 grew on a lot of people after the first time listening. Especially with the deluxe version
AD true true, have friends that said it was trash at first but after the 2nd or 3rd listen they loved it
@@AlmasAztekas am I the only one who can't rank uzi's albums? They're all too fire
Luv is Rage 2 is still a classic years later 😭🔥
"Between 1 to 10, what would you give it?? Lie and say 7"
"I would say 8" 😂😂😂
Watching Joe speak about X now that he's gone.....
Came back to see Joe praise X... Its dope to watch. Also luv is rage 2 still hits!
“He’ll grow up, he’ll mature out of that”💔
😢
14:08 VERY RARE
I noticed that shit too!!!😂🙏
Matt B,

Trizz shit up uzi is a artist not a rapper you listen to him for a vibe not for bars so shut up
Two®
2024 here. This was still one of the best hip hop shows of all time. It’s a shame it ended
X's album surpassed the hype but Uzi's was way over hyped for what it was
All this clout for x cause he died like be fucking honest uzi is better than xxxtentacions fucking depression MUMBLE RAP shit
@@Justegburger22222 I mean firstly this comment was last year dumbass
Justeg Gill it says when he commented this dumbass

REPLY
At least Iggy actually freestyle unlike the other artist on that show but whatever.
I wanna see Joe interview lil pump, he would absolutely lose his mind 😂😂
Surprisingly, XXXTentacion's album is amazing. I didn't expect much from him at first but the Kendrick coding made me listen. I am not sorry I did. Amazing album and then the tracks are bite size.
"He'll mature" ;(
TeddySetGO damn. 😥😔
Long live x
Uzi & X are my 2 favorite artists of all time.
Rip x🙏
Favorites on Luv is Rage 2 : Sauce it up, Dark Queen, The way life goes, and X 😤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pretty mami, talk to me nice also🔥🔥🔥
Joe Budden is really smarter than yall think.
estrella martinez he is highly intelligent.
estrella martinez yeah really gained my respect compared to previous episodes where he seems like an incoherent hothead, came at this calm and collected and understanding different viewpoints throughout
He's just a jackass sometimes
RIP X BRO
My mans said "the song magnificent" that's how u know he didn't listen to it lol
Lil uzi vert : not really
Xxxtentacion: yes
Saturnz Barz Chad
😍😍😍
tf u talking bout
Luv Is Rage > Luv Is Rage 2
Odane DeSouza the perfect LUV tape is his best
TRASH.
Odane DeSouza Uzi vs the world 2 or whatever his next project is, is gone be his best ever. Its gone contain atleast mote than half of all the snippets he has and them bitchez are heat. Count up ft chief keef, zoom, dirty diana
100% agree
LUV is rage 2 is better like by 1%
I miss these times i remember watching this when it dropped and i was so happy for x that a og finnaly on public platform gave him sum fucking credit,this was a moment in hip hop 4sure
I thought Neon Guts was good😢
Cause it is
One of the few good ones
Jeffrey Mbelu the only ones I think that are really good were neon guts, the way life goes, malfunction, and x, those are the only songs on repeat I still need to give the other ones another chance though but for real i was expecting almost every song to be fire I was disappointed especially because of the way uzi was acting about the album. Like he had so many snippets sounding fire buy chose not to drop those instead putting on fillers
Y'all are stupid neon guts was fucking ass. Unfazed, xo tour life and how to talk were the only good tracks in the album
I thought Neon Guts was trash
he was truly one of a kind... RIP X
Is Joe's Shirt On Backwards?
James Hamilton lmaooo you can see the tag outline
James Hamilton I was wondering the same
James Hamilton it could be. A lot of shows dont allow you to wear specific brands on screen because of some copyright shit or something.
Miro Blazé doubt it pretty sure he know the rules
How'd you catch that!? Damn 😂
Uzis album was garbage compared to the original luv is rage. The first was full of melodic catchy hits.
The real mvp no not really besides 7am and Top the other songs didn't get play like that. He had better songs on Lil Uzi vs the World and The perfect LUV tape. it's easily not his best work(mainly cause it's his most different) but when it comes to the LIR titles LIR2>LIR1
The real mvp if anyone thinks LIR2 is better than LIR1 you smoking
ascensionofchaos bruh fuck u mean... LUV vs The World was my favorite project. But you cant sit there and say that LUV Is Rage only had Top and 7AM as the only ones. What about

Joe Budden: 'I can see X was a kid who grew up with principles'
X not too long ago to a camera man:
'YOU BROKE! YO MAMA BROKE! YO AUNTIE BROKE.. '
Bryant Rojas that was a joke lol
he was joking
Umm that's his friend idiot he was joking
Bryant Rojas And don't forget when he announced his album wouldn't be free. He said "it's only $10 , go sell some fucking lemonade" All about the fans eh? FOH
it's just 10 dollars, and it's up on youtube for free so i don't see the problem
Fuck it hurts watching them speak so positively of X and saying he’s gonna have a future and everything
rip xxx
@6:05 "with 8 bars singing eh eh eh" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This album wasn’t the best that uzi can do
why drop an album if you didn't put your all into it then?
Reko Rekondellos the same way a lot of these songs just seem thrown up with a guy halfway spittin' anything on a hard beat.
2k13 Steph Curry is so ugly lmaooo
There were like 6 songs that I like on that album I was hoping for more
2k13 Steph curry Sad to say but it's so true 😕👎🏼 Uzi had me hyped for so long
Why weren't Kendrick Lamar's tweets about XXXtentacion's album mentioned? It probably boosted his sales by at least 3x
A tweet from Kendrick trippled his sales? Tf are you talking about
It seems y'all don't realise how big Kendrick is, or maybe you haven't seen the tweets
Jalil he didn't boost his album THAT much don't be silly
Jalil maybe not 3x but Kendrick definitely gave x more sales by giving him exposure to a different audience.
Jalil I didn't even see them
Looking back on what Joe is saying after X dropping “?” It’s 100% accurate.... X Is an incredible artist
“What you think about uzi album” Ak
“Trash” Joe
😂😂
I died 🤣🤣🤣
I don't really like the album too much, but Dark Queen was an amazing song.
He fucks with it when xxx talks about suicide but he doesn't fuck with logic
Msha Maxwell I don't fuck with logic at all. but you are clearly just hating for the trend, the fact you said he did it in a corny way is dumb as fuck, I listened to the song he did it fine probably up there with his 5 only good songs lmfao, he sent a great message and he made his fans aware. which is good because majority of his fans are kids and it's good he's making them aware, setting up for the future, you're dead ass hating to be trendy.
Msha Maxwell I agree with the X part tho, gg.
Msha Maxwell the struggles? Logic had a more fucked up child hood than most of these rappers
did you know that logic is biracial
because X does it better lmao
Rip X
"Uzi making songs less than 3 mins" and argues saying it was too short *all of X's songs are **1:50** long* "it's a short project but it doesn't matter" makes sense
Pump pump it up
I don't know man, I'm only really bumping a few tracks on luv is Rage 2 tbh. I haven't listened to 17 though so I can't say much on that
Eternal Kick 17 is very very different, but so much better .. is still fucks with luv is rage 2 tho
Yeah same it's a bop still, especially Neon Guts. And I'll check out 17 sometime
Eternal Kick 17 is only 22 mins long, just one quick listen through won't hurt
612 warrior u prolly have ... Xo Tour Llif3
612 warrior I can't get into anything he has except "Money Longer" & "XO Tour Lif3" but even then I don't go looking for those songs to listen to either.
"You got the best advice but I won't call
I know I'm grown so I do not need y'all
And if I get locked up mom change the law, you fix everything so that's what I thought
When I was small momma made me tall, even though I'm daddy's pup she still gone wipe my paws
Don't care about the money, don't care about them cars, lose my momma that's a problem you can solve"
I really doubt Joe gave Uzi album a real listen, I'm not talking about one listen or skipping through, but you can't give a real opinion of a project without listening to it all the way through multiple times bc you can't even catch everything in a album that quick, though Uzi don't have much substance I think Dark Queen was a great song that had a real emotion behind it. Joe couldn't even name the songs he liked off of X's album, I can't take his opinion seriously on new wave artist bc I feel as if he's listening to find the bad instead of knowing what type of artist these people are and taking it for what it is.
Dude Idk No offense, but a few good/deep moments aren't enough to save an entire project. For example, the deep subject matter of XO Tour Life still didn't save that song from being pretty horrible lyrically. Uzi couldn't stay on topic
Also all the auto tune and reverb loses the "deepness" to be hundred percent honest.
Daddy Harambe | Not necessarily, singing (even with auto tune) can add emotion in my opinion.
Everybody dies in their nightmares, carry on, Jocelyn Flores, save me, Ayala, etc. All are individually deeper and more emotional than all of luv is rage put together
But that was also my favourite part of Uzi's project I wasn't expecting it
But Joe did say he listened multiple times
I didn't think Luv is rage 2 was great when I first listened to it but the more I listen to it I think it is really great. Dark Queen, How to Talk and there are other good ones. The songs are catchy. Kinda repetitive but I enjoy it.
coming back to this album a year later, Joe is a genius, he was literally right about everything that he said, aged well
Dont agree with that. The album is really good, Dark Queen, The Way Life Goes, XO Tour Life, Feelings Mutual, Loaded are all well produced records
Luv is rage 2 is lil uzis best work so 🤷🏻♂️
I don't think X took a chance. He has a numerous previous tracks that are dark, depressed, and worth listening to. I found myself excited when i heard he was making an album that reflected his previous dark work and I know many other fans did to.
Everyone talking about X and Uzi but sleeping on Brockhampton. Go listen to Saturation 2, topped both by a mile.
The Best Covers wack
The Best Covers trashh 💩
Yall are stupid
Lol I've come to expect people who like Uzi's music as retarded. I only have one buddy that likes his music and he only listens to it because it's so bad it's good.
Joe the definition of a old head
lmao you use the word oldhead as an excuse because deep down you know it's thrash music
Nigga you sound mad as fuck that Uzi's album was trash. I hate niggas like you who call people who don't like this shit that the new mumble - rap generation is putting out "old - heads." I'm 16, and even I know that Uzi's lyrics, melodies, and bars (with that dumb ass "ay ay ay" noise Uzi keeps making) is trash.
alles goed alr old head why you so mad
alles goed you mad boyy
LightningClash lmao he dumb bro
THIS NIGGA SAID PRETTY GOOD 8/10 JESUS CHRIST
BLACKERMAMBA770 😂
HAZZARD he said 4.9 for HOVs album
He's trash for ratings. Might as well get reviews from Fanatano
The IGN of rap.
That shit was actually trash lol Joe want exaggerating this time
"Every album is made with a purpose" 🙌🏾
How is he gonna say Lil Uzi has nothing to say but he’s not gonna mention the way life goes is about getting over heartbreak or Dark Queen is about loving your mother
Akadimiks gonna be George Jefferson soon if he don't stop wearing these hats....And let his head breathe.....

Jorge Castillo Dude who cares?
Hearing them talk about how x will be here for awhile and I think his music will be here forever Rest In Peace X
When joe said "he will be here" referring to X
That kinda hit hard
I think uzi didn't live up to expectations, for x I'd say yeah he did live up to his expectations since people weren't fuckin with him that much after xxl
More people were hyping up luv is rage 2 more then 17
Wildin Outside they were cause uzi is a bigger star rn but still if u compare it too luv is rage, it wasn't nearly as good
And x was only 19. Nothing like any other rapper. RIP young legend
Tyler the creator made odd future at 18, earl sweatshirt put out "earl" at 16
@@Wiresx X was influenced by them
I finally agree with budden uzi's album sucked ass 17 was better.

GotGamertahgs ss there is substance with Xs music which I respect not random shit
GotGamertahgs ss what are you like 12? Lol
17 was literally better in every way. Musically, substantively, emotionally, and artistically.
You probably didn't pay attention to the songs idk maybe you've never been thru anything lol who knows but luv is rage had like 2 songs worth hearing
Terry Wallace nah I have been thru things but idk I guess I’m not always stuck on it like other ppl these songs make me remember the things not forget or whatever it’s for ight and I ain’t 12😂ight chill right there but yeah I think lil uzi is better ig idk it just gives me good vibes
stfu hes better than lil uzi vert he can actually spit bars not like uzi that mumbles
X is gonna be one of the voices of the new generation. Simple
I fxkz wit Uzi n I thought his album was trash aswell , RIP X. I was in jail when his wave came but I felt the impact of his fans once i came home.
Paradise was and is STILL Uzi’s BEST SONG. You new dickriders can go and listen to that and make it blow up now. 😂🔥
Ali Rizwan that was a vibe fr
Ali Rizwan top was better imo
Imagine thinking paradise is better than nuyork nights, ballin to the end, 1987, enemies, etc.
I've always disagreed with budan but after this I totally get his point of view
i played luv2 right after i watched this
Man 17 was a great album...😪
Akademiks looked hella stressed when joe said it was trash 💀💀💀
