[@andreiisidorvornicu1027]

DJ Akademiks' KZbin channels get more views than Complex and Complex news combined. The people at complex don't really understand "how to KZbin". Akademiks, alone, makes higher numbers than a multimedia giant like Complex, at least on KZbin. With that said, Joe leaving Everyday Strugle is a big loss for Complex. A big number of viewers started watching their show because of Akademiks but they continued watching it because of Joe. If you take away from the show that back and forward between Akademiks and Joe there's not a lot left to watch.

[@rawindersingh8014]

Joe was the insight to the industry. DJ AK was wack and so was Nadeska. AK just wanted to start controversy and shed no light on what was actually going on

[@xTWEAKMYSTERo]

Both the shows are whack.

[@Moneyman-33]

It's literally just going to be a mainstream rap circle jerk now. You're never going to get the oldhead hip hop fans opinion in contrast. The show won't be the same without STAPLE GUN

[@Moneyman-33]

Rawinder Singh Nadeska was just the moderator don't even start giving her shit she's just there to keep people from getting too off topic and she makes fun of AK all the time. How was she a problem in the show. I don't even think AK was a problem he represents the people who enjoys the popular stuff that most rap only fans really dislike.

[@JtheNomadProductions]

Joe showed a lotta respect and class while addressing this issue. Im gonna continue to look out and support all the content I KNOW you're gonna provide in the future. Shit even Rory put respect on AK's name (finally lol). It would be dope to see y'all even do the show on your own platform(s). Keep goin, let's get it! ✊

[@JtheNomadProductions]

kashstory he's friends with a lot of the guests, he said fuck the guests as far as he just wanted to debate about the culture rather than just give niggas promo every time they come up. Plus you're naive as fuck if you think Joe couldnt have exposed these niggas MORE and completely BLACKED TF OUT. Complex got more respect than they deserved...... THAT'S class.....

[@kasonlegendhd8289]

kashstory another dumbass with horrible opinions commenting dumbshit you haven't done shit in yo life foh

[@kashstory]

Play Thomas Beats But that what they did with guests on anyway. You see the Vince episode? The 9th episode? They were still discussing the topics, just with a guest around. I don't get how Joe literally acted happy to be sitting in the room with the guests when they were around but then acts like he hated it. I don't get that, that seems phony. I'm not saying Joe was the worst he can be here, I just don't think it's "super classy" to say things like I mentioned.

[@kashstory]

KasonLegend HD It's not just opinions, I'm also literally recounting what he has said and done. He said one things to the guests and something completely different here. He was really saying things like "It's great to have you on" to the guests and complimenting them, but then he turns around to say "fuck them all". That's by definition phony, that's not an opinion moron. That's stating a fact.

Hold up the candles R.I.P. Everyday Struggle

[@stevn7489]

Everyday Struggle needs Joe Budden like First Take needs Stephen A Smith and Undisputed needs Shannon Sharpe

[@ProgressiveConservative]

Steven Tadeo just like undisputed needs skip.. honestly I disagree I think everyday struggle needs joe a lot more than those two shows need those two people. First take has had other hosts and they did fine, joe and ak’s chemistry on that show was so good that the show with either one of them and not the other would not be nearly as good. In first take and undisputed especially I feel like sometimes they force the arguments and debates to make it interesting but everyday Struggle it felt like every argument they had was real and never forced. I defs won’t be watching the show with just ak even though I am a fan of his because it won’t be the same. I wish that joe and ak would just team up and split the show 50/50 and make a show themselves how they want it. If they can get nadeska because I like her too or decide on another female host/moderator it would be such a good show and they could have full control.

[@chxllmoody7168]

I need Ak to leave CompLex asap.

[@ebonygeorge664]

Asad OG Did you not just hear Joe said she had something to do with it?? He said she was one of the people getting profit out of what him & Ak did alone 🙄 They not cool

[@asadxo]

Ebony George Damn thats a shame, but hopefully Ak doesnt sell out.

[@icandrivebetterthancj2621]

He will after his contract is up

[@food4j]

Wole his contra t has ended. Now ak has to make a choice.

[@JtheNomadProductions]

Ebony George Nadeska finessin out here?????

[@codyg6514]

Budden was the only reason I ever watched everyday struggle.. Akademiks doesn't know shit about real music, and Nadeska barely ever adds anything to the conversation..

[@Isaiivh]

Cody Green I didn't even know that chicks name and Akedemiks was just side comments

[@kingsavage5832]

Nadeska wuz a sweetheart tho..

[@firstnamelastname4753]

nebraska was like the glue that kept the dynamic together

[@dingoldoofin1806]

She wasn’t really meant to shes just supposed to be a moderator

[@eduardofernandez5422]

She’s not supposed to talk lol molly quirem isn’t supposed to talk but that bitch listen

[@salaw]

I immediately unsubscribed to complex news when Joe left.

[@2villainy950]

Same

#PAYBUDDEN

[@offtop3808]

go 77 as he said in the video, it's not just about getting paid...he was looking for equity as well--that's the crux of the real issue. OWNERSHIP

[@fortyfive4716]

HE MADE THIS SHOW AND HE CANT GET WHAT HE WANTS $$$ WISE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

how you gonna handle a man with a newborn like that, um not surprised tho !

[@bryanxjames1215]

I'm never watching everday struggle again!!

[@leija8005]

Bryan James me too

[@patronboy777]

Unless they get 50 cent.... I was waiting for him to have a discussion with joe and AK for the longest!!! Never happened ... fucking mad

[@samirkhan4981]

You won’t be able to

[@derekblankenship8970]

Joe really is speaking so vividly about a bigger problem in America. Companies really be thinking they doing you the biggest favors just by employing you.

[@ovandograham7793]

If you broke and unemployed they kind of are

[@valx5]

@@ovandograham7793 depends how much value you bring. everything is about how much value you bring to the table

[@margielareplica]

Complex doesn't understand the culture I bet money half of their writers like pumpkin spice and dry unseasoned chicken 🤣 Anyways no joe no show 💪🏿

[@carichar87]

occasional flexer 😂🔥🔥🔥

[@aravindkannoly2909]

Isn't that culture in of itself?

[@margielareplica]

Aravind Kannoly 💀bro.....No

[@kris5885]

lmao u coulda just said white

[@chino-vo1fn]

😑

[@MixxyGirl]

Joe you're not a "nut case" you're honest & passionate about your thoughts. Eds is not gonna be the same without you. I hope you & ak continue the show on a different platform. Congrats on the baby!

[@friendoftheshow3382]

Olga Susy Hernández 🔥💯 Let me get a sub back

[@kmz120]

Joe please get together with Ak and make the show WITHOUT COMPLEX! You're 100% right! This was the BEST HIP HOP SHOW EVER CREATED AND THE CULTURE NEEDS THIS!!! I'M MOURNING RIGHT NOW!!!

[@mattchisholm6129]

kelvin monsanto guaranteed its in the contract that the 2 of them cant make a show together for so many years after leaving complex so that wont happen

[@jamellemoore9310]

kelvin monsanto Right😭😭😭😭

[@kylegardner6272]

Joe is literally about to repeating history.. Has hit record with Def Jam, decent selling out the gate, a couple beefs, and he goes on to have one of the greatest underground careers with a legendary mixtape series. Fast forward 13 years. Does his thing with Complex, leaves, and is about to storm on independently on his own. While i miss my favorite rapper actually rapping. He sounds less steessed then when he was

[@imtrippin7226]

Facts.

[@firstgen3388]

Aye bruh you was right

[@GatsDomineaux]

@@firstgen3388 no he wasn’t lmao

[@SaniCarci]

Good looking on the podcast Joe. Congrats on the baby

[@danieltaylor3398]

Rory sound like he auditioning for a job at complex

[@brandonsworld1]

Daniel Taylor lmao

When money meets art...that’s when u have a heartbreak..Dave chappelle...Chappellee went to Africa...We with the Culture..We with you Joe

[@darrellwilliams9168]

The Black Pathner Dave went to Africa for like 2 days fam 😂 that man really just went to Ohio and chilled for a decade

Rite. The struggle was really real for real. Well now complex can go struggle all alone.

[@deliciousduh357]

[@MikeADHD]

*Charlemagne* & *joe* got something cooking on *revolt* ?

[@zoeman7720]

[@krystalk8105]

Can’t wait to watch it

[@1mochadelightable]

Mike ADHD RIGHT! AND I CANT WAIT!

[@YellowSynth]

That would be a hit if they bring ak as well and put it on revolt

[@royletv7162]

regardless of what you think about joe everyday struggle will never be the same without him, him and ak were not always on the same level but the arguments they had were always productive joe knows this culture joe knows what hip hop needs and he was (in my opinion) the voice of reason

[@andrewebanks4472]

Nadeska was quiet af cause she was cashing out

[@YoungBlaze]

Andrew Ebanks her networth bro is 9 million

[@legendarywinner2355]

YoungBlaze Of Chitown wtf???? You serious????

😂😂😂 dis nga

[@goodhands7888]

My new hobby: Go to Complex's KZbin page, refresh, and just watch the subscribers fall off. Didn't know that could be "a thing".

[@Trappa908]

Good Hands was like no way and its a thing lol

[@ColdJoeGaming]

I actually imagined people falling off the subscribe button and its hilarious

[@iLatrell62]

Your right it's actually going down

[@erickespinoza9155]

Good Hands I check socialblade and they lost over 5k subscribes as of now.

[@gurudeon9818]

Good Hands yoooo you so right lmao wtf

[@JessicaBeee]

*Honestly, I only watched bc Joe made the show. He was controversial in a good way, he was entertaining, and he was honest. The show will now go from sugar to 💩🙄*

[@Miltonman100]

Jessica Beee hes polarizing like Skip Bayless. He gonna say some wild shit that grab ppl’s attention lol

[@xTWEAKMYSTERo]

Youre the kind that follows stupid fake drama for entertainment. Find something better

[@Number99IsTheBest]

It’s been a year and Joes growth is 100% better than if he stayed.

[@DjFreshhPrince]

You know this episode tomorrow going platinum, right?

[@ahndrayuh]

So what Budden is saying is that trickle down economics does not work and corporations will keep a vast majority of the profits they make off of their workers for themselves. Hmmm.

[@mannyortiz8867]

Andrea Mack Great analogy.

[@AmenForeal]

As clear as a coffee pot @andrea mack

[@321tagg]

Sounds like the new tax bill to me...

[@jomten]

And this is the free market response to that, the workers will leave if they arent taken care of, and will either do it on their own or get with a corporation that treats them right. In a creative field like hip hop the creators have ALOT of power to withhold creating and they can use that to negotiate better agreements. If you work somewhere like mcdonalds where you can get replaced anytime then yeah you gotta get some skills man

[@tysoncrowe8870]

Andrea Mack dude this comment saved me some time lol I like Joe but fuck wrap it up ninja

[@JM-fd4sj]

Joe not on Complex?? That's the only reason I subscribe to their KZbin Channel, I'm unsubscribing from that 💩

[@randomcharacter6501]

Joel Oszust I unsubbed as soon as I heard Joe was gone. I hope their count goes way down.

ak is better on his own. complex looking like a weak company to be aprt of right now

[@vaniumvii6453]

Robert Lewis i feel it i feel it

[@trillgully2557]

He under contract he can't leave

[@Tokengoldguy]

Umm no, If Ak stay and show even does a fraction of the success, it brings UP his value. Y'all so in the right now, gotta look at the big picture.

[@JediDarkness07]

Joe we SUPPORT YOU DUDE 💯💯💯 do what you have to do !!!

[@joshdarwish5788]

Joes podcast gunna blow up real soon

[@brittanyhutchinson8945]

Been blown up. Yall late

[@beeochg4]

So true, I stopped watching everyday struggles without joe there, it just isn’t the same. He brought good up great discussions, opinions and topics.

YoungBlaze Of Chitown yeah I really did. I only watched because of Joe tbh. I liked him & Ak together. He was the only reason for me subscribing lol

[@BlackJesus2047]

Ms. MellyMel1010 same here! Unsubbed real quick lol. That show is trash without joe.

[@chicagosbest82]

Ms. MellyMel1010 I did also and to be honest I don't see the show coming back in 2018.

[@christanirving6478]

Rory really do be speaking facts but I feel like he is always getting hushed by Joe
