Charlamagne Interviews Travis Scott | The Joe Budden Podcast 

Parks don’t miss a chance to be Joe’s adlib after every sentence 😭😭😭

“You better figure what you built for and what you ain’t, before somebody else knows it about you” Joe that was wisdom✊🏾

I’ve never seen a celebrity with so much clout garner NO sympathy from the public whatsoever. I heard ppl defending RKelly even up to the verdict. This is unique and a crossroads of the culture. It will only get worse for us if we don’t wake up and repent.

At the end that was a real Bar. "You better find out what you built for and what you ain't so you'll know. Before somebody else figures it out before you"

I agree with joe. Tasteless. He didn’t even say a simple “I’m so so sorry to everyone who lost someone at this show. Im devastated. My heart breaks as a father.” He couldn’t for legal reasons hence why this was poor timing and not done correctly.

I hate how Joe takes the high road with Charlamagne when Charla has never given him that same luxury. Charlamagne is nasty for this interview.

This is one of my favourite segments of the series thus far. Found the debate to be compelling in its empathy and compassion in acknowledging the effect this has on Travis and the families involved. As someone who hates uncomfortable silences, being silent in a predicament like this would take amazing restraint.

Agree with Joseph on this one. It’s too soon , kids died. It’s the holidays, it’s hard enough for the families to deal with their lost without having to hear this nigga shifting blame… horrible timing

I love this podcast man. By far one of my top 2, I like how they all have different opinions and they disagree with each other sometimes and you get to see another side to a story. Proper

At the end of the day, Travis was better off pulling a Kanye 2010. Just go off the grid come back a year later with a fire album that changes hip hop... but then again this is Travis Scott you know.

This is why I think Ish is one of the best things to happen to this podcast. He's the counter balance to Joe. He's the "voice of reason" in the room, and I think that is what was sorely missing from the Rory and Mal days. Ish doesn't need to be here, but he's here on his own terms. Ish has an actual successful business outside of this podcast. So he's gonna come with the real talk and his own authentic views on things.

I love the fact that the three have their own opinions and isn’t scared to say it

Da worse part about it. was that buddy couldn't even put a complete sentence together

I dont think I ever heard parks disagree wit joe...

Joe was spot on with this one

I agree..Travis doing that interview was ego and arrogance. He wanted to make himself feel better about the tragedy and it just didnt give what he thought it would. And he definitely is not a public speaker whatsoever.

Thanks for being the only one making sense out of the celebrity sphere Joe.

Prayers go out to the people that lost their lives. People expect others to move in a way that not even themselves wouldn’t. If Travis didn’t say a word he would still get blamed. He is still human, as we are as well. Joe should understand that our intentions aren’t well read through action at times, especially with all that has encountered

Yes it is arrogant! He even said "no one is going to be a voice for these people, so I gotta step up". He is clearly a narcissitic pychopath. Narcissists are not able to show true emotions. Therefore, they express emotions that seem appropriate. They mimic what they think it should look like to feel empathy because they have none.

Travis doesn't speak = He doesn't care about what happened Travis speaks = Too soon. Why would he do an interview? It's sad what happened and RIP to the victims but cmon now lmaoo

I don’t understand why we keep victimizing Travis. I genuinely wonder how remorseful he is about the tragedy. Sure he seems shaken, but he hasn’t shown any depth of reflection. There’s nothing learned, no wisdom, no changed behavior. The fact that this tragedy hasn’t even made him consider how the culture he creates at his shows is deadly is a 🚩. But also it doesn’t matter what Travis feels at all at this point. Travis didn’t actually lose a loved-one here. He doesn’t walk around carrying the agonizing feeling of loss that each one of those families are enduring. He may feel remorse but not grief. And it’s kind of sick that we keep trying to defend him and his motives, especially when they basically mock the ones who are truly grieving. Definitely with Joe 100% here.

🚨 🚨 That boy said "you know" over 400 times. Naw dawg, we don't know so articulate yourself properly!!! Man of God? 🍃👀🍃 WHERE!!!!! In the concert where you were screaming "F him up!" trying to get other concert-goers to beat up another one? Doing that interview was full of ego and selfishness. He took no responsibility, pushed all the blame off, and legally, I understand he couldn't say the word "I'm sorry" but he showed NO EMPATHY!!!! He didn't answer any questions. He clearly is worried about himself and his bag. Not understanding that comes later. I DO NOT feel sorry for him because like Joe said, that 🤡 has been deleting mess we've already seen. The dude has a HISTORY and charges for inciting riots, abusing security, and just being a cold-hearted sicko (yeah sicko mode). I hope this drip that boi like a lime - he needs this hit. The diff w/ this and past concerts like Puff is that they didn't have a history of putting people at risk and trying to get people to rage and make the ground shake. Everyone on the internet knew ppl passed at the end of the night - how the hell he ain't know until the next afternoon 🤦🏾‍♀️

😭😭😭😂”this interview was a fucking mess -Joe”😭😭😭

That parting-line from Joe, at the VERY end: ...Chef kiss.................

Travis could have said that he apologized and this will never happen again. I would want to hear the victims stories and celebrate them in this tragedy. This is not my moment it’s theirs.

Everybody to blame but the ppl in the crowd hold the biggest responsibility. But that's just me.

u better figure out what u built for and what u ain’t so u can know..before somebody else know it abouchu - 👀Joe’s best line evr

Absolutely arrogant & egotistical! He's not trying to make it better for the parents & loved ones of the deceased, he's trying to make it better for himself. Smdh. He needs to stfu!

Joe is RIGHT! Anyone that has kids, when my kid does something majorly wrong. I dont want to look at him, for a period of time before I am able to come to terms with what has happened. I feel the same about Travis Scott. WE dont even want to look him right now. Too soon bruh, go away. Have several seats! Byeeeeeee!

Idk what Travis should do or should’ve done. I just know if my family died I would see red and I would be out to get everybody. It seems Travis is using social media as a barometer and that’s not always true. He needs to hire a crisis manager. Lastly, I don’t think this interview was for the people’s family who passed. It was to sway public opinion because no matter if you think he is to blame, you think he could’ve done something to help deescalate the situation.

"You better figure out what you built for before someone else do."

I completely respect Joe Budden the interview was terrible just like Travis Scott he doesn't care about nobody but himself the man made a music video two weeks after with bodyguards all around him then he comes out with this interview a month-and-a-half later that let you know how much he really cares about it

TRAVIS FUCKING SCOTT IS THE GOAT!!!!

The severity makes a huge a difference, I agree with Joe. Silence

He should have never done the interview. His team is full of scared clowns to allow him to be seen in public right now.

This interview is similar to the job interviews that u been in when u realize in mid-interview that u dont want the job anymore so u bs the answers.

How is it gonna be perfect if its genuine, and from the heart.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT AFTER 5️⃣ WEEKS TRAVIS SCOTT IS STILL SAYING THAT HE IS STRUGGLING TO WORK OUT HOW THIS CHAOTIC MESS HAPPENED AT HIS OWN ASTROWORLD 🌍 FESTIVAL 😲

Silence is what’s best 🙏🏽thank you Joe

Bro ariana grande didn't even come out that soon shifting the blame 🤦🏾‍♂️ and she had it much much worse.. like she had back to back tragedy and still waited for the right time

You guys treating travis scott like a baby or a child man. Saying ‘hes just doing what he thinks is best’ man f outta here. Something severe has happened and everything hes done in response is arrogance, cos he is desperate to not take responsibility that his show and his shows in general are weird af. The energy is weird af, its not normal at all.

hit like when Joe said “Humble yourself.” immediately.

CTG was not the one for this & was out his range.

It's not arrogance, it's desperation.

If he had waited they would have said he did an interview too late and if he did one soon like he did they'd say it was too soon so it was a lose lose situation

Joe budden is unbearable. 🙄 I literally couldn’t be his friend. We’ll be arguing ALL the time. He’s he type that’s never wrong and always has to have the last word

I bet joe hates the fact he’s gotta talk about charlamagne

Omg I couldn’t wait for Joe to speak On it!!

The crazy part is they said Travis asked for charlamagne to interview him

As a person that does assessments every day on ppl,,, Travis had 0 emotions in that interview, he was imitating what emotions he thought were appropriate. Travis might be a sociopath

On the other hand, I think Charlamagne did a pretty solid job on his part.

Joe's subs have been on 914k for the longest time. Rory and Mal are running numbers

Had to watch the interview first. There's really no protocols in place to prevent a lot of things from happening. But I believe we can all learn from this. Prayers up for all the families. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌎⚡️

The interview was embarrassing. He has to take accountability, no way about it.

Thank You... Mr.Budden. Have Mercy on the Families and Friends... Continous Blessing to you.💝 2021.

My goodness parks, you don’t have to make cringy sounds after every one of joes sentences . Relax

I loved the summarize Joe gave in the beginning.

There’s blame to go around….the crowd is part of it too. Way too many times I’ve seen people pushing forward and others pushing back when at concerts and club performances.

I thought it was in poor taste as well. These were young people who passed away while coming to see you. He didn’t even address the families and the individuals like it was so inappropriate it was basically him trying to get the liability off of himself and he isn’t a good speaker honestly.

Just not the same without Rory & Mal. I can't watch this for 2 hours anymore

But to sit and not say shit Joe is crazy…..I’m my mal voice. Then it seems like I don’t give a fuck. 🤷‍♂️

Everytime Joe talks Parks talks got damn

Travis is a terrible speaker. He should’ve left this to his pr team.

Travis just cares about the money he is losing. He’s not a victim

man i dunno if there's ever been anyone who loves the sound of their own voice more than Joe, great content though :D

What's insensitive is that he got blame for the doing of thousands of reckless fans. Its hard not to feel he was targeted, because this has happened before with other artist, maybe not to this capacity. We are losing accountability as a society, its not hard to see fans were the cause of this horrific event. Knowing boundaries, setting limitations to ensure the well-being of others. It wasn't just Travis Scott's job... It was a job for all concert goers to ensure each others safety.

Im sorry. I don’t blame Travis.

Everyone in this society is flawed and makes mistakes. People because of online access now just attack other people in ridiculous manners when they make mistakes to detract from their own bs and play the holier than thou. There have been 10000s concerts w crazy mosh pits and stampedes. This was a tragic event and of course it is terrible but we need to focus more on healing than trying to just attack and blame people as if Travis intended for this to happen. A gazillion rockstars and other rappers have similar concerts including travis this one just went tragically wrong. Everyone in this society just waits for a chance to attack successful people to virtue signal and feel better about themselves grow tf up. I don’t even like Travis it’s called being a human and having empathy.

Charleston White need a interview

Can Joe give Parks some more vocabulary bruh, this whole video and all he be doing is repeating what joe says after every sentence 😂 all love tho

Joe on his budden shii.... Leave travis alone.

Silence can never be misquoted. He should've waited but he didn't. Everyparty is going to be liable in this situation. If you had 50,000 tickets sold, do the concert in the Astro baseball stadium or the Houston Texans Stadium. This could've been in a better venue. Condolences to all the family's the lost someone in tragedy.

Travis shouldn’t have spoken about this situation until after the lawsuits were settled where he could speak freely without feeling like he would be held liable by apologizing. It wasn’t Travis’ intention but the interview came off tasteless, heartless. Seemed like he was more concerned with getting his point across instead of offering a sincere apology to everyone involved. Bad timing. Definitely not the move. If you don’t speak people can only assume how you feel. But once you open your mouth it becomes fact and there’s no turning back at this point 🤷🏾‍♀️

Kids died due to parental negligence!

You know Travis's camp is offering online therapy (ridiculous concept to begin with) that is "free" as long as you give your credit card info. People are getting charged for the "free" online therapy because they're not letting them cancel the subscription. Ariana Grande's camp did the same thing. They are literally profiting off of the misery caused by the tragedy they invoked!

It’s not all of his fault but part of it is.

This is a problem with us black men. Many of us just refuse to be silent in cases like these. The R. Kelly interview with Gayle King, and Scott's interview with CtG are examples of it. Just shut up and let your representation do their jobs.

The real ? Is how many times did Travis say “you know” in that interview

this has nothing to do with this pod.. but if she going to keep posting in response to my DMs & not give me the number... Ima just be w/ whoever when I go back to LA... im tired of these algos putting her in front of me... fevyn looking nice.. travis do you my nigga... this music biz is crazy

How is it “arrogance” when people acting like he could have stopped everything by himself based on the blame game?

I get people died but if you lost a nine year old you can't be mad you learned a messed up lesson I can only feel bad that they gotta live with their decision to take a nine year old to a concert and they know it their own fault some things aren't worth putting your child in danger and now you will know how to get a babysitter or stay home on your next child

the way Travis articulates himself is as if he's a young child. Really sad.

Travis a fool some times it's better to just be silent!

Why do they ignore the fact that the whole setup looked like a satanic ritual, and the woman that was literally in his face begging him to stop the show.

Joe skinbaldhead absolutely right about that 9 yr old kid 💯

RKelly and Gayle is up there

Arrogance. 🎯 what he thinks is right, simply is not what’s best. Wisdom over logic.

BLACK PEOPLE IT BE GREAT IF WE COULD SHOW THIS YOUNG MAN SOME SUPPORT...INSTEAD OF PUNCHING DOWN ON SCOTT ..LETS HELP WITH SOLUTIONS

One day yall will figure it out

Only hearing Parks annoying voice and not seeing him makes it even more annoying

WTF Parks, let Joe speak

Ish dropping facts on Joe Biden

I think it's clear what we saw that night nd it's clear what he said nd really said in that interview

And silence is not what’s best. It would’ve be easy to disappear and not speak on it. It took more courage to get behind a camera by himself and own it

Nah ish was right on his perspective

Man can we find the people who decided to continue trampling a kid? The fuck? You can’t tell that you suddenly are not dancing on solid ground? I don’t understand

Tbh if I'm the parents I don't give a fkk about how Travis feels. Actions speak louder than words. He would be uncomfortable being silent, yet those ppl and kids are silent forever so who cares about his restlessness in being silent!? He holds blame and so does his team and live nation but tbh I don't even care. Who he do this for, the families? Welp they hated it so it backfired....

The good thing I see coming out of this horrible situation is that they make concerts safer for people to go to. Been to different concerts seen kids overdosing people being knocked out by not even doing anything... I hope concerts get better

Travis Scott should never have tried to explain himself. First, it is too soon and the HOLIDAYS. While he is going to golf course and flying to see Kylie and baby.... victims are suffering during the most difficult time to lose someone...THE HOLIDAYS! Are you kidding me... SELFISH, ONLY THINKING ABOUT TRAVIS SCOTT. Think about how difficult this period is... highest suicide rate is during the HOLIDAYS!! Selfish!

Joe Budden is a straight G, honest and unbiased. These other 2 clowns tho 🙄
