In a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Joe Budden shared his insights on the seismic waves sent through the hip hop community by Kendrick Lamar’s latest verse on the track “Like That.” The song, featured on Future and Metro Boomin’s new album WE DON’T TRUST YOU, has sparked widespread conversation and controversy.
Budden, a respected voice in hip hop, dissected the implications of Lamar’s words, suggesting that the verse has shattered the facade of camaraderie among top-tier rappers. According to Budden, Lamar’s pointed lyrics aimed at fellow artists Drake and J. Cole have brought to light the superficial nature of many relationships in the rap game.
The verse in question has been hailed as newsworthy not only for its directness but also for its raw honesty, resonating with fans and artists alike. Budden’s commentary underscores a growing sentiment in the industry: that the bonds between MCs are often more about image than genuine friendship.
As the community continues to digest Lamar’s hard-hitting bars, the conversation is likely to evolve, prompting further introspection about the true nature of connections in the high-stakes world of hip hop.
