Joe Budden Admits Eminem’s Music Once Saved His Life, But Now He No Longer Cares

In the recent podcast episode, the crew praised Eminem’s new album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”, while Joe Budden explained why he is not interested anymore.

Parks started by declaring that he loved the album’s throwback vibes.

It felt fresh and fun, with Eminem taking aim at cancel culture and just letting loose.

It is a welcome change from the serious tone of his recent projects, thinks Parks.

Officially Ice agreed. For him, the album reminded a rap version of Dave Chappelle’s comedy – pushing boundaries for free speech. However, the track that moved him the most was not about controversy at all. “Temporary” brought tears to his eyes. Officially Ice goes on to praise the album for its overall quality, ranking it second only to “Music To Be Murdered By” in Eminem’s post-Recovery work.

Joe Budden, however, didn’t share the sentiment of his crew. Moreover, he didn’t even listen to the album, and he was not in a hurry to do so. While he acknowledges the album’s success and will listen eventually, Joe admits he hasn’t felt the urgency to dive in yet. He’s grown beyond the music that initially resonated with him during his struggles with depression. While Joe respects Eminem’s skills, his music doesn’t hold the same appeal for him anymore.
