Joe budden's no different from Wendy Williams just gossips about other dudes

[@jaredmartinez7323]

Biggest voice? Stick to finance and news bloomberg

[@Ceob]

Hip Hop is a billion dollar industry. It’s relevant to Finance news.

[@roycampbell586]

You can dislike him but which commentator is bigger in terms of reach? Akademics isn't bigger. Fantano?

[@Flex11136]

I wouldnt say his the biggest voice as his podcast is a paid subscription based platform and doesnt get the views as others

[@puffinjuice]

Vote for John Budden 😂

[@mts635htr]

He may be one of the loudest voices but there's a big difference between loudest and biggest voice. He's a clown

[@martman104]

[@ratgreen]

I aint even watching this, no he didn't. Literally no one gives a F what he thinks.

[@js718]

Front on Joe Budden all you want, he was one of the mixtape/freestyle kings back in the 2000s. And he has EASILY on of the top radio freestyles ever, look up his Green Room Shade 45 Freestyle..."If these dudes is Live, I'm the created player" 🔥🚒
