Joe Budden criticizes Drake's recent behavior regarding his UMG lawsuit, highlighting concerns about the rapper's authenticity and impact on hip-hop culture.

On his podcast, Budden specifically calls out Drake's contradictory behavior - filing a defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group while simultaneously associating with Top5, who recently made threatening remarks about Kendrick Lamar.

"If you a Karen, be a Karen, but you code-switching," Budden states, criticizing Drake's apparent dual persona as both a corporate complainant and street-affiliated artist.

Budden expresses nostalgia for Drake's earlier career, describing him as "the n—a with the Blackberry and the corny T-shirts that couldn't dress with no beard that everybody just wanted to get next to and get some of that corny sauce."

The podcast host particularly takes issue with Drake's approach to hip-hop culture, stating there's "no unity in hip-hop anymore." He criticizes Drake's tendency to play both "the aggressor and the victim," suggesting this behavior undermines traditional hip-hop values.

Budden concludes by distancing himself from the current state of hip-hop, suggesting the culture has fundamentally changed from what he originally embraced.
