Joe Budden has fired back at his former co-hosts, Rory and Mal, after the pair criticized the former for being ranked No. 1 on Complex’s Hip Hop Media Power Ranking list.
During the latest episode of the New Rory & Mal Podcast, the duo ripped Budden, referencing their past financial issues which ultimately led to the trio’s demise.
“The thief!” Mal said while him and Rory ran through the ranking. “The cat burglar. Big integrity … look at the cat burglar staring off into the next house he wants to run in. That’s big cat! Quiet as a mouse.”
It didn’t take long before Budden responded on his own podcast, calling his former colleagues the “bare minimum” boys.
“To whom this may concern,” Budden began at the outlet of the episode. “This is not even on page one of the manual, ’cause you n***as ain’t in the bookstore. Instead of critiquing people’s placement on this list, we need more critiquing on why you’re not on it. To everyone not on it, shut the fuck up. There’s some steps that you n***as have missed.”

Budden continued, “To whom it may concern, stop holding a microphone. I’m just giving out podcast advice. It’s certain n***as, y’all can’t speak to me, y’all didn’t do the work yet. You didn’t go to the bookstore.”
“Hire the editors. Get people to help,” he advised Rory and Mal. “Invest in the staff. Pay the staff. Get more staff. Stop check chasing. Stop doing the bare minimum and expecting that to yield results. You n***as are the bare minimum boys.”
