Wale made shit clear when he asked Joe why he wasn't at his show. Clearly he feels some type of way about it. Yet he's still doing the interview for Joe. If you listen to him carefully you can hear exactly where he's coming from. Loyalty is everything to him from what see. I love you Wale you are an amazing artist and you'll always be on my playlist!!
How fabulous was it to see Joe get frustrated with somebody "out joe'ing" him in an interview. 'Ima be more difficult than you today Mr Joe Budden'. 😂 loved it
@@dayosonictv i was just saying the same thing he dealing with a nigerian . we invented the shit. we see through all the subliminal and dont come for us we G checking you
No one: Mal in the next pod episode: “Joe having his hands on both of Wale shoulders... is nasty. Don’t have your hands on my shoulder like that. No! ”
This is a battle of the egotistical and passive aggressive Virgos 😂 You can tell they genuinely care about each other that’s why they try not to take it too far. Interesting to watch! I’m a fan of both!
Sadora Savvy you’re right, I surely was thinking this is the battle of Virgos ♍️ lawwwwwd 😩😂 but they definitely were passive aggressive in this interview moreso Wale though but I love ❤️ most Virgos mind and intellect
This interview made me understand Wale around the 37 min mark. I always thought he was cocky, but he's just socially anxious and overly self conscious. I relate, and most likely come off the same exact way. Props to Joe for bringing him to the point of being honest and vulnerable.
Wale is one of the best artist I've ever heard on wax, wish he knew all them insecurities are just weighing him down. Message..Van Goh didnt get all his flowers until he was long gone. You dont need flowers when you live in a garden
Don’t be ashamed. Once you become a individual that shit goes away. I’m black, but I’m ME first. Other people don’t represent me. People treat you how you carry yourself and how you treat others. Once you really get that, that other shit won’t faze you. All blacks aren’t the same just like all whites aren’t the same. I know some whites that ain’t shit, just like I know some blacks that ain’t shit either. It’s about being around people who are about the same things your about. Positivity, success and doing good. It’s really about good and bad, right and wrong.
Very, I said black power in a class n shit got mad awkward 😂. Then I said in a art class n this white kid got mad as if it meant the same thing as white power. Boy sit yo ass down lmao
Joe always contradicts himself & doesn't even realize it it when someone calls him out for calling someone else out for the same 💩then all of a sudden he's sooo aware lol Wale is definitely Joe's BS'n match every time 😅
He says he is misunderstood but doesn't quite want anyone to understand him. He is quite the conundrum that no one really wants to solve. His Paranoia makes him have that get them before they get me attitude....crazy.
Wale's catalogue is 🔥🔥 and he's had alot of hits over the years..but he cant appreciate his success and role in hip hop because he craves the same hype and attention as drake, Kendrick and cole..he shouldn't be so emotional about it cause in reality he's just as dope as them
It’s a Virgo thing. This interview is a perfect example of how hard Virgos are on themselves. Beyonce is another one, yeah she’s “Beyonce” but she still works hard as if she still have to make a name for her self. Wale Knows that he’s very talented but he’s also his worst critic.
@@freshpaige20 im not that big on astrology lol...i know people with same birthday as me and were absolutely nothing a like...im sure you could think of someone with your "sign" that acts nothing like you do lol...
I think he use to express himself “too much” and ppl used that against him by calling him soft or sensitive so now he thinks he has to “think more before he speaks” and now it comes off weird.. it’s hard being an artist
Huge Wale fan. Every interview I watch, I feel like he cares tooooooo much about what people think. Wale feels towards the interview and the media same way KD feels towards NBA media/reporters. They’d rather just play ball or just put out music then go home.
Contrary to popular belief, misunderstood people hate being misunderstood so they are always thinking of ways to express themselves differently so they won’t be.
The dopest part of this is Wale tryin to convince Joe to drop more songs and come outta retirement and teach thru his bars. Wale literally in fan mode and it’s dope
I love how honest he is! We all go through those thoughts and feelings. People like to front like they don't! Wale is a phenomenal artist. That's on period.
I don’t think he’s trying to act cool I think he’s a foreigner (Nigerian) man who’s also a virgo... who’s also in a fake industry where he may be one if the few genuine... he uses uses an alter ego to protect himself. Literally everyone and thing around him is fake
30 mins in and it’s already way too much Virgo passive aggression. 😂😂😂 The way Joe got loud with Wale is how I have to talk to my Virgo friends all the time. 😭😭😭
Omillo Adams right! He hit his stride and ain’t looking back. I’m glad his rap career failed. He creates good content from his own context and experience. I’m here to media Joe!!
Wale really wants people to like him, and i know people may say "not everyone is going to like you" but when you KNOW people don't like you, its just like why? like what did i do for you not to like me? and it probably hurts.
The Market I can see what you’re saying, but can’t you just chock that up to the whole “every rapper is supposed to think they’re the greatest” I don’t think he’s that bad to consider himself one of the greats. Like when it comes to the technicalities of what’s considered making good music, I think he’s got that for sure, way more than a lot of other people lol. you seriously don’t think he’s top 100 though? I’d probably put him like top 60, maybe 70 all time for sure.
Maybe he's getting worse at it because that's where conversation is at right now "its worst" so his form of communication might be fine but out of date. 🤔
IfAndyCantHelpYou yes, but some of us recognize how are minds work and some how try to “fix it” enough to embrace and handle this fucked up world we live in..and to me it doesn’t seem like he understands how to “fix himself”
@@bluupill tired of you fake phycologists. you like many others have adapted to a regular ass life & gotten normalized feels towards harsh things in the world. These ppl ("famous") deal with all that & a industry thats a world of it's own & with fickle ass ppl that pretend to know more about ones mind more than the person it belongs to 🤦🏽♀️ "fix it" smh what do you even do to think you have a sensible solution he hasn't applied.
I hope Wale is seeing a therapist. His whole demeanor is chill but unsettled, I know that’s an oxymoron. That’s the only way I can describe it though. Peace be with him.
He’s not awkward he’s not being difficult..he’s telling you how no matter what he does he gets criticized for it he don’t wanna be accepted he just want the same respect and luxury of freedom as other artists gets and the same recognition his peers gets...but I guess it’s just us virgos who understand..shout out to my fav rapper ✊🏽✊🏽
How can it not when you’ve been through what he’s talking about ... ? Idk if you come from the DMV ... but a lot of have the passive aggressive attitude. Making it outta here is the STRUGGLEEEE... he just want his props💯 it’s not meant to block our success, but to protect our emotions. That’s just how a lot of out here are ..
ShawnTrill It’s a struggle to make it out of any hood,but really that shouldn’t be used as an excuse bruh. Wale get his props,it’s just not the kind he wants but he should be okay with that because there are plenty of people who would like to be in his position.
blackandproud83 Yeaaaa .. get In his position & go through the same shit💀. Because he’s bold enough to speak on it ... that makes it an excuse ? Or A fact of emotion ? Nobody can change the way you feel. They can listen & guide or stfu. & a lot of mfs ain’t hearing him💯
ShawnTrill Like I said fam,it’s tough to make it out of ANY hood. I don’t come from the best neighborhood in Houston,but that shouldn’t be used to justify me being insecure or anything that I am now. You can’t control how you feel all the time,but you can definitely control how you react
Wale, answer the damn questions! Joe Budden is asking him questions, while allowing him to respond, expound and Express himself, genuinely and He won't even answer. Forget the industry and the expectations, express yourself dude. Dang!
@@malikholmes5045 I know he does. But if someone is extending their platform to you, take advantage of it. Don't antagonize the person that's trying to understand You. Hell, at some points in this interview Wale is proving the naysayers right by not answering questions and being difficult. If he didn't want to have the opportunity to genuinely express himself, He shouldn't have accepted the interview. That's all I'm saying
I would love to see Wale being himself ...his anxiety takes over. Ppl with bad anxiety always think the worlds watching and thinking about them 24/7. Must be amplified being a celebrity......honestly Wale, I like your music but no one really cares that much
Yup, YOU ARE RIGHT. He is definitely socially awkward and you can tell when he put his glasses on. He just needs to relax. Joe is trying to interview him and really talk to him. Wale is holding back and being to cool for his own good!
Loving joe's growth and i been rocking with him since the beginning even when people was talking shit about him but he's doing the damn thing so mad respect to him
*Wale* I think I'm crazy *Joe* I know I'm a little crazy *Wale* Well....after introspect I'm crazier *Joe* Wale between us I'm the craziest *Wale* Are you as crazed as me?!? *Joe* That's a Fact......it's crazy *Wale* Crazy
Bougie Gemini B lol are you serious, have you ever heard joe budden music? Literally all mood muzik catalogue is joe budden reflecting on his life and personal/emotional issues, he literally is probably the most introspective rapper ever.
Joe made the most of this interview though, he handles things well because Wale was really passive aggressive in this shit and this could’ve been a great interview for Wale but he fucked it up lol or he did exactly what was expected? I don’t know bro this interview carries mixed feelings cuz Joe ride for this nigga and he just made it difficult
we always complain about how men/artists don’t open up & aren’t authentic. then when they do, we tell them they shouldn’t be “so emotional” and if they’re actually human enough to have insecurities or haven’t quite “arrived to the place of being untouchable” by what others may think... we say they’re “too sensitive” or “shouldn’t care.” HE CARES!!! and that’s okay! will he always care, forever? we hope not! but right now, he does. and for him to be man enough to speak that truth is as vulnerable & human as it fuccin gets. 💪🏾 WALE! you are enough! right now. nothing added, nothing taken away. and i can’t wait for the day when you can feel, know & own it. until then... lovin & lifting you bro 🇳🇬
Real talk. Everyone tries to analyze peoples mental and feels the need to label them with some bullshit trait whether its depression, anxiety, insecurity..etc...when in most cases they are human and just going through the journey of the ups and downs of life, trying to figure themselves out on the way.
Look 👀 at the breakfast club interview when jay z has the blue and white box shirt and they ask him who do you see here ten years from now and look at the date get back to me great 👍 lol
Wale is currently "on some other shhh" right now. I agree, "He is getting worse at being social" and I believe He tries to be difficult and He wants to be accepted.
I just need for Wale to know that he has a host of educated fans from various fields that would love to use their knowledge and skill set to help his growth. 🙋🏾♀️ I am one of them. I’d provide pro bono legal support to Wale in a heart beat. 💜
@@MM-mq9xj Yeah, I heard the sarcastic mention. Starting to think it's becoming unavoidable tho. I'm saying, how many pull ups can you actually do with credible artist of today without having to go see Spitta at some point🤔
Derrick Thomas Derrick Thomas Facts. It seem like Spitta doesn’t get the acknowledgement he’s due as a legend in the game. (Not even talking abt from Joe n them but just media in general) Blew up off consistency, stayed mainly independent, top tier raps/production, and did it all without ever leaving his own city?? I just don’t get it. God forbid something happen to the man it would be the same fake love they showed Nipsey all over again smh
I loved this interview after Wale started opening up. From Wale's side there was a misconception about what Joe's intentions were in the interview. After Joe set it straight it allowed Wale to open up because he doesn't have many people he trusts enough to do so. This was refreshing and ALOT of people go through what he goes through mentally. Him talking about it is actually not only therapeutic for him but for those listening as well 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
i love wale! he is damn near the only celebrity that actually talk to, ask questions of his fans. Wow that’s crazy has been the only thing i listen to in 2k19 and 2020. realist shit ever
Joe: The job is pushing them further, And The way to do that is to talk to a million of them a week... Not 30,000 of them a month. Myself: I Salute that Because that’s what OG’s are supposed to do, versus them trying to be miserable In a sport that no longer shows them love nor do they acknowledge the freshman who looked up to them coming up... We gotta Protect joe at all costs💯📠
joe went from being put in a headlock by big sean to rubbing on wale's shoulders in a week... the range
Taking the pod to the next level

That was a good ass interview. I was impressed with Sean. Joe with the good questions as normal I stayed glued.

This like trying to have a normal conversation with your girl when she clearly mad at you
Yikes!
Wale dancing around most of the questions like he hear music in his head
Yooooo, this interview was cringe. Wale has no personality

wale dont know how to express himself....without music.

They despise each other while embracing their personalities. Respect to both for getting past the BS and giving us this entertaining conversation.

Will Talk why tf would people listen to an interview if that’s the case
Exactly like why do an interview if you won't open up. that's childish, wasting everyone's time. 🤦🏾♂️
Imagine looking in the bathroom mirror at the club and seeing Joe doing this in the reflection
"My guy-"
AZZAN 1.0 talkin bout “lets go get’em king”’ 😂😂😂
AZZAN 1.0 😭 nasty two hands on ‘em from behind.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Hahahahaha I’m dead dog
Joe talking to wale how black momma’s talk to they children when they become adults and visit the house.
Matt Heath 😩
Matt Heath 😂😂
😂😫
I was thinking "trying to solve math problems at the dinner table" 😅
LOL!! :)
I would love to see Wale being himself ...his anxiety takes over. Ppl with bad anxiety always think the worlds watching and thinking about them 24/7. Must be amplified being a celebrity......honestly Wale, I like your music but no one really cares that much
TheEpitomeMEdia joe was trying to son him on the low and wale was just on defense
Yup, YOU ARE RIGHT. He is definitely socially awkward and you can tell when he put his glasses on. He just needs to relax. Joe is trying to interview him and really talk to him. Wale is holding back and being to cool for his own good!
Dam back to back pull up’s. Been waiting on wale, forever underrated 🌊
Loving joe's growth and i been rocking with him since the beginning even when people was talking shit about him but he's doing the damn thing so mad respect to him
Wale is so underrated
I was so uncomfortable watching this I felt like it could go left at any point lmao
Virgos clashing their intelligence I love it most podcasts and shows don't contrast this well. Salute Wale we love you
Sheed Poetry what day are you?
The amount of grease on wale shades is crazy.
😂😂😂💀
Mad fingerprints 🤣🤣🤣
Shit gettin on my nerves.. like
🤣
Lmao this comment killed me
*Wale* I think I'm crazy
*Joe* I know I'm a little crazy
*Wale* Well....after introspect I'm crazier
*Joe* Wale between us I'm the craziest
*Wale* Are you as crazed as me?!?
*Joe* That's a Fact......it's crazy
*Wale* Crazy
Wow...that's crazy
GODz Shadow pretty much lol
The accuracy 😂😂😂😂😂
This will probably be the most frustrating interview. Wale is difficult to speak with sometimes. And we all know Joe...
They're both Virgo men...
@@ladyvirgo3319 you never lied. Petty and passive aggressive. On the downside.. Just trynna out analyze one another lol
I was about to say they both virgos and they're pretty private people its diffcult for them to open up to people
Bougie Gemini B lol are you serious, have you ever heard joe budden music? Literally all mood muzik catalogue is joe budden reflecting on his life and personal/emotional issues, he literally is probably the most introspective rapper ever.
Joe made the most of this interview though, he handles things well because Wale was really passive aggressive in this shit and this could’ve been a great interview for Wale but he fucked it up lol or he did exactly what was expected? I don’t know bro this interview carries mixed feelings cuz Joe ride for this nigga and he just made it difficult
we always complain about how men/artists don’t open up & aren’t authentic. then when they do, we tell them they shouldn’t be “so emotional” and if they’re actually human enough to have insecurities or haven’t quite “arrived to the place of being untouchable” by what others may think... we say they’re “too sensitive” or “shouldn’t care.” HE CARES!!! and that’s okay! will he always care, forever? we hope not! but right now, he does. and for him to be man enough to speak that truth is as vulnerable & human as it fuccin gets. 💪🏾
WALE! you are enough! right now. nothing added, nothing taken away. and i can’t wait for the day when you can feel, know & own it. until then... lovin & lifting you bro 🇳🇬
manaz olujimi tell my wife this lol
This was well said. I hope he sees this
Real talk. Everyone tries to analyze peoples mental and feels the need to label them with some bullshit trait whether its depression, anxiety, insecurity..etc...when in most cases they are human and just going through the journey of the ups and downs of life, trying to figure themselves out on the way.
manaz olujimi I felt this ✊🏾🙏🏾
💯💯💯💯
Geniuses are always conflicted because the world thinks they’re crazy.
That answer on ...being "born" or "picked" to be a star was beautiful and simple enough for any aspiring artist to consume!!!...
Salute Wale!!!
Jay z said it the best he sees wale still around ten years from now 💯
When did Hov say that?
Look 👀 at the breakfast club interview when jay z has the blue and white box shirt and they ask him who do you see here ten years from now and look at the date get back to me great 👍 lol
Bo Luke I pay attention
@@qfinest05 yeah he called it I remember .
Joe changing the culture just by breaking the touch barrier. 😂
😅
Ostarine Music joe ahead of his time and people don’t see it
juan aguilar agreed!
Gotta give Wale his credit. He was sparing with the Joe on this one. I enjoyed their back and forth. It kept me on edge a bit.
Yeh didn't let him bully him
Wale puts his shades on once Joe pissed him off the whole interview shifted.
Pacino 323 Good pickup, I saw the same thing and was wondering if anyone else realized that too.
He BEEN mad though LMAO
Walé is like the kid in Adam Sandler's "big daddy" movie, he cant open up until he puts the shades on😎🤣😂🤣😂🤣😭 lmmfao
🤣
Hahahaha!! So accurate
💀
Definitely peeped that & im glad joe spoke on it
Wale is currently "on some other shhh" right now.
I agree, "He is getting worse at being social" and I believe He tries to be difficult and He wants to be accepted.
@Fooly Cooly yeah, I don't be with the gimmicks either. That shhh fake
Nailed it.
I think wale has social anxiety and doesn’t even realize it.
24-ontheclock He does. He’s talked about it before.
Nah he’s aware of it
You haven’t heard him realize it but he has
Lmao he’s said that plenty of times
You mean he is a little shy and seen a lot of shady shit and just doesnt trust a lot of people, therefore he is uncomfortable in certain settings.
I just need for Wale to know that he has a host of educated fans from various fields that would love to use their knowledge and skill set to help his growth. 🙋🏾♀️ I am one of them. I’d provide pro bono legal support to Wale in a heart beat. 💜
Nobody:
Joe: Do you have a therapist?
I have 3
Between the headlock on Big Sean and the rubbing of Wale shoulder's. Joe has officially won the 2020 Nasty Awards
He is acting very ssusssssspect
🏆
2022
The ranggggggggg joe budden voice
Him and Charla is heading up that same road together lol the road of nastiness
Joe Budden interviews feel like a therapy session
Oh Jesus Christ. This is about to be the most sassy and emotional Pull Up ever 😂😂😂
Don't Worry Lol...Yeah Joe and Wale are defiantely 2 super emo dudes. 😂
Lmao
And this is why guys are afraid to say anything and stay depressed
Nick Dailey You guys internalize your feelings because of jokes in the comments on RUclips? Yikes, good luck with that 😬
@@dontaskdontworry Don't act like you didn't understand what he was saying. You know damn well what most females think about overtly emotional males.
Listening to these two guys is like spinning in a circle ..
“Joe you a media dude now. Ain’t no love lost.” Joe didn’t catch that slight album homage to him from Wale. Clever Flolarin.
Minjin X I think he did. It was never done clever enough...or maybe the time wasn't right for it
And he followed it with a rimshot imitation
Of course he caught it.
@@mbaraka13 what's a rimshot imitation?
Next episode pic...Joe trimming Bobby Browns mustache.
John Contractors 😂😂
😂😂😂
savon go in the cupboard...
I will still indeed say we need Curren$y and it's past the point of a request! However.. this shit right here might be ight!!
Derrick Thomas never heard Joe mention Spitta once, when this guy is quietly the underground 🐐
@@MM-mq9xj sometimes Joe is just wack until he isn't
Derrick Thomas Damn they actually mentioned him on the pod today while talking about pullups. Hope it happens for real
@@MM-mq9xj Yeah, I heard the sarcastic mention. Starting to think it's becoming unavoidable tho. I'm saying, how many pull ups can you actually do with credible artist of today without having to go see Spitta at some point🤔
Derrick Thomas Derrick Thomas Facts. It seem like Spitta doesn’t get the acknowledgement he’s due as a legend in the game. (Not even talking abt from Joe n them but just media in general) Blew up off consistency, stayed mainly independent, top tier raps/production, and did it all without ever leaving his own city?? I just don’t get it. God forbid something happen to the man it would be the same fake love they showed Nipsey all over again smh
I knew this interview would be good before I click...Two of the coolest weirdos 😂😂😂😂
I loved this interview after Wale started opening up. From Wale's side there was a misconception about what Joe's intentions were in the interview. After Joe set it straight it allowed Wale to open up because he doesn't have many people he trusts enough to do so. This was refreshing and ALOT of people go through what he goes through mentally. Him talking about it is actually not only therapeutic for him but for those listening as well 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
i love wale! he is damn near the only celebrity that actually talk to, ask questions of his fans. Wow that’s crazy has been the only thing i listen to in 2k19 and 2020. realist shit ever
Joe: Popular
Wale: Famous
Me: 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😂😂😭 petty
“You never have to yell with Joe” 🤣🤣
Joe: The job is pushing them further, And The way to do that is to talk to a million of them a week... Not 30,000 of them a month. Myself: I Salute that Because that’s what OG’s are supposed to do, versus them trying to be miserable In a sport that no longer shows them love nor do they acknowledge the freshman who looked up to them coming up... We gotta Protect joe at all costs💯📠
This is the realest interview I’ve ever seen 😂 it’s so honest
55:02 LMFAOOOO Wale served Joe so good he had to get back to back sips outta both cups lmfaooooo 🤣😂🤣
Joe needs to start wearing pants his own size, the slim fit jeans look like they just begging for an excuse to rip lol
NileValleySultan 😂😂😂
Aaaayyyyyooooooo 😲
Yea this can’t continue
Who cares about his clothes. YOu people kill me
Is Joe massaging Wales shoulders on the thumbnail?? Oh Rory, Mal and Parks gonna be podding podding this week! 😭😭
Its bout time you sit with Wale, Wale needs to sit on the podcast also
Gotta love this aggy, “thats my nigga” relationship they have 😂
This interview was so uncomfortable yet refreshing 😂
