This wasn't an INTERVIEW, this was an EDUCATIONAL lesson on life

Y'all have gotten me through these last two months as my brother just recently passed away. Please keep it up and keep the dopeness coming. JBP ...where would I be without the JBP...props from NC family

I’m just going to drop a comment and say, Killer Mike is one of my hip hop heroes. Thanks JBP for having him on and recognizing greatness. Blessings to all and happy father’s day

That Michael project slaps. He delivered. I still have this project on repeat.

Killer Mike is an amazing orator. I could just listen to him tell stories all day

Killer Mike’ last moment with his grandma had me in tears! I have been fortunate enough to witness someone see angels right before death and it gives me peace.

This is by far THEEE BEST pod interviewing Killa Mike. He dropped true GEMS for US and I pray all the listeners/viewers take the message he blessed us with to make a difference in our community!! Bravo 👏🏾 JBP excellent interview ❤

Joe and Ish’s reactions during the Suki discourse was disgusting and precisely why black women don’t come forward to speak about sexual assault. Rushing Mel, deeply sighing in annoyance while she was speaking and then making it known that you’ll wanted to move on, while making her feel shame for speaking about a very real issue of concern in the black community…. “I thought you discussed this with MC Lyte?”…..all highlight the different ways in which black women are silenced. And then when she asks, “how can black men in Hip Hop better protect women?”, instead of answering this question, subverting blame onto the venue, was just crazy to witness. On top of that, it seemed like Joe was even trying to spare Meek a bit by not sharing his tweet basically telling Suki to be quiet. Way to show support to your black queens…. What’s more, it makes it more obvious that Joe’s rant to Rory years ago after it was discovered that his friend and then employee of his house party company was a sexual predator, was all in the name of self-interest and now reads as performative because the pod was being linked to it. This man went on a rant about how Rory should have known about his now ex-friends’ behavior, damn near blaming him for someone else’s crimes. Only to get on here and defend Funny Marco and Duval for ignoring a clear sexual assault that occurred right in front of their face…when, contrary to Ish’s opinion, both knew that Suki and OK Osiris were not seeing each other because of their interactions both prior and during the incident. Funny Marco was literally looking back and making faces at Duval and Suki could be heard screaming for “Help!” in the video, as she was attempting to turn her head to prevent him from kissing her. Mind you, Rory issued an apology for something his friend did that he never personally witnessed. Duval and Funny Marco have yet to issue a public statement about this. As for Killer Mike….I have a great deal of respect for him, but, I disagree with parts of his opinion. No. It shouldn’t just be accepted that this - sexual assault - is a natural consequence of the entertainment business….ultimately this idea is what contributes to the toxicity and danger of the Hip Hop industry for women and what helps to fortify rape culture….nor should women, black women, be continuously told to “give grace”. Black women have given grace and protected black men for centuries, to their own detriment in many instances. At what time can we recognize that black women need a safe space to tell their stories without being forced to “give grace” to the men who abuse and harm them? This is important to mention as well because historically, black women have always been blamed for the poor behaviors and actions of their male counterparts. For example, young women (minors in many instances) dating grown men several years their senior…instead of chastising these men for their predatory behavior, it was the young ladies who were called “fast” and “promiscuous”. I felt like there was a lot in the pod from the men - excluding Parks who I felt was probably in agreement with Mel but didn’t want to “rock the boat” -, that was very indicative.

One of the best interviews I done heard in a long time. Mike is one of them

Killer Mike was a unexpected treat today! He was an amazing guest, and very articulate!

when mike said that his grandmother apologized to him and that’s what made him turn to god put a tear in my eye. that was a good little segment.

Rewatching after Mike's win. We needed this context.

"Dare I not have the faith to push trough hard times" was a very powerful statement

Yo this episode jus really got me thru my bum ass shift 😂 Killer needs 2 be a guest at least once a month

Having Killer Mike up there is such a treat. I could listen to him for hours. Such an underrated blessing listening to rappers who can hold conversations and speak clearly. Not once did I feel the need to turn this off. I love 3hr pods from the crew. I don’t appreciate this from a lot of these podcasts. Always hits different with the JBP

Happy Father's day JBP fam 💯

Killer Mike & a Shannon Sharp convo would go crazy, full of grandma & grandpa quotables to live by!

Killer Mike is an amazing conversationalist good job Joe 👏

Thanks to Melissa for holding the line on the Suki topic. Perfectly said

I never listen to the interviews. Ever. But I couldn’t shut Mike off. Great job. Atl stand up. I enjoyed this one. Fully. I’ll be listening to the album. ❤❤❤

Killer Mike is such a wordsmith! You really can just listen to him talk daily.

Happy Father’s Day JBP listeners 💪🏽💪🏽

Killer Mike’s run on faith was powerful! 🙏🏾❤️ felt that!

Some how this has become my favorite podcast ... I always got 2.5-3 hours for y'all ❤️

The amount of game Killer Mike just kicks for free is crazy. There’s conviction in everything he says. Run the Jewels stay dropping jewels🤘🏾

Melissa’s favorite source is “everybody everywhere is talking about it” 😂

Am I the only one who wants Killer Mike to be a repeat special guest? 🔥🔥🔥Ass pod

I love the love Mike is getting for this incredible album. His words hit everything you grew up on in history not just the music, superb episode.

KILLER MIKE speaking was everything. The message and the words were GREAT! THANKS!

Everytime Killer Mike talks I listen. The man is always dropping gems. He is truly a gifted speaker. Great episode guys!

The guy Joe man. He steps on everything. Mel gave a poignant soliloquy wrapping up the YK topic. And how follows up with fun. The cast really gotta start doing joe like that. When something triggers him just step on it.

This pod was actually very enjoyable. Mel & Ish carried!

Mike has to be one of the best guests the pod has had. The vets like Mike and Jada always make the best guests.

Great episode! Mike is pod gold. He has stories for days. Smart, down to Earth, old soul.

Mel was dropping straight gems.

When it's a serious topic, Joe wants to rush the topic along, but can talk about sports for 20min

One the best, most uplifting episodes in a while. Mike perspectives are engaging and thought provoking.

This is just my personal opinion- This is the first Rap Album that I have listened to without skipping a song from beginning to end in years. Musically, this album can't be touched and is some of the best production I have heard in years. I love the album cover. The Halo and the Devil ears say a lot about what you hear in this album. It's not what you think. The Devil ears is representing a lot of how Mike came up in the drug game and things he did. There is redemption all throughout this album. I really hope that people listen to the lyrics of the songs. Zoned me completely out. I really implore people to listen to this album from beginning to end to get the total experience of the album. There are gems all over this Album. Motherless is one of my favorite songs- The combination of the lyrics and the production of the music is flawless. This Eryn Allen Kane's singing on this track is so good. I can hear the pain in her voice on this song. After the 1st listen this song literally brought me into tears (my Grandmother died recently) and I can feel the lyrics. Overall I will give this album 5 stars, 5 Mics or whatever they say nowadays. The rapping, the flow, the singing, the production straight up flawless. If this album doesn't receive a Grammy nod I'll be highly disappointed.

Ish foot didn't stop shaking the whole episode 😂😂😂😂

Mel got in her bag, I respect it !✊🏾 right is right wrong is wrong!

I left this Pod today feeling so INSPIRED!!! Like oh my gosh Im just in Awe of Killa Mike's knowledge and his cadence! Love his messages, he is a Staple in Hip Hop. Im replaying this 2x!

I love Mel she said what was needed to be said🙌🏽

This was a great show! I love seeing Joe in his interview bag. Amazing vibes - and glad to hear more of Mel's perspective!

Usually could go without guests but it was nice hearing from Killer Mike. Good energy

Killer Mike always gives uplifting messages!!!

Mike needs a radio show or a podcast if he doesn’t have one already i know hes very active in the community and speaking engagements but i could definitely listen to him daily

I love how Mike came on the show talking his shit!! Super appreciated

What a phenomenal conversation, Killa Mike when he's on he's ON... Love it

I don't really comment but man, this Killer Mike interview was truly special. One of hip-hop's hidden gems.

I hate how Joe treats Melissa, he talk about bullshit all day soon as she gets ready to be long winded about something he silences her. And just when I started to like him.

Joe’s condescending reaction while melyssa was speaking on the issue of sexual assault and joking his way out of it made me look at him sideways… He’s probably guilty of some SA himself

Happy Father’s Day To All The Kings That Hold It Down ✊🏽

Damn I can listen to killer mike talk all day

This episode is just absolutely amazing. I’m sad Flip & Ice 🧊 ain’t here this episode but damn… shout out to y’all & salute to Killer Mike ! 🫡

Man , killer Mike is something else. He blew everyone of those questions away. Elaborated on things clearly and decisively. Was the perfect mix of ghetto and educated all at the same time. True class act

One of the many highlights along with the joy of listening to the great Killer Mike was at the end seeing Ish finally participate in the JBP song putting his arms up!😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥Couldn't believe what I saw! Nobody had to do it for him

Killer mike got to talking it was so good I just started shouting REVOLUTIONARY idk why 🤣🤣🤣

Killer Mike made this one of my favorite pods this year!!! His intelligence reaches out n grabs your attn instantly!! JBP.. JBP... where would I be without the JBPeee!!

Mike killing that COOGI 🔥🔥💯

*Joe rotating his co host to see who has the best chemistry with him and Parks*

Why was Joe Budden trying to change the subject everytime Mel was talking about sexual assault lol

Melyssa Ford being a fan of killer mike gives hope to lyrical rappers everywhere

3:04:26 I’ve never thought the day i would see Ish strike a pose for the JBP drop😮😂😊

Happy Father's day to the kings out there 💪🏾 Always a must listen wehn Killer Mike speaks.. The rest of the pod was a little slow. You can deff see the impact Flip's energy brings to the pod even on days he's quiet. Y'all stay blessed though ✊🏾

Thank you for the great content! I paused the interview early on to get the album and have it ready for tomorrow, I "sampled" the first track to get a taste. I of course couldn't stop and listened to the entire thing. Thank you for your art, Mike.

Fucking LOVE Killer Mike! It’s always great to listen to him speak, about literally anything. One of the best MC’s ever, and a true renaissance man. The voice of Hip Hop. That interview was amazing.

Thank god flip 🤡 ass wasn’t there with killer Mike… thank u for reading the room Joe 🙏🏾

"Flirting is Not consent"💯 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 That was fire, Joe. Happy Father's Day Joe and Ish!👑🫶👑 So true.

Major salute to Joe for having a real southern icon/pioneer on the platform. Killer Kill from the Ville always been a legend in southern hip hop! Loved this interview! 💯✊🏿 Album of the mf’n year!

Happy Father's Day to all you fellows on the show and every dad out in the world God bless you all

Ish’s foot shaking has me distracted 🤣

47:55 Very unfortunate what happened to Sukihana but expecting Lil Duval or funnymarco to stop YK Osiris is a reach. In the moment nobody knew what was going on, they all looked confused.

The correction is, Michael, that there is no curse for your family fortunately... Not accepting the curse that affects the rest of the people like you who didn't have the same advantages, is not doing better.... I respect most of what he says, although, 90% of black families don't get those opportunities. Rep. for you kind respectfully, but realize it's that most people AREN'T ABLE TO ESCAPE the system. Therefore I would think you would stand for all rather than successful black people while acknowledging the others you choose to ignore. It's called humanity. Expand and experience before picking a side is all I ask.

Mel did an excellent job with that Suki breakdown ❤

We live in a hypersexualized time. Our young people are confused about how to react, behave, and expected of them. I feel it is extreme to file charges against the YKO kid, but this is definitely a teachable moment.

I learn something every time i watch a killer mike interview, glad he's finally getting his recognition

“Critics want to mention that they miss when hip-hop was rappin' Mf****, if you did, then Killer Mike would be platinum.” - K Dot, “Hood Politics”, “TPAB”

This Killer Mike segment was so so so dope. 👏👏👏

One of the best episodes of the year.

Killer Mike is soooo captivating. I was in a trance listening to him.

Mike always comin through wit tha jewels in convo and music!! Salute big dog u gotcha another one…Grammys better recognize!!!

Killer mike needs a podcast because I love to listen to him

This the only episode I've watched all the way through in a long ass time. Killa Mike always a must watch.

Thank you Mr. Killer Mike, alot of gems were dropped in this and great story telling!

My cousin has a buck-fifty on his face for trying to save a woman from domestic violence. She is still with dude, meanwhile he's walking around looking like Two-Face. I'm sorry. My duty is to protect my girlfriend family and friends, ONLY 🤷🏾‍♂️

Killer Mike is a Great man not just a rapper! Ty you for having him on the show. Was this the Longest JBP time show?

With the Sukihana situation y'all aren't telling the entire story and this is how media can perpetuate things good or bad. Yes YK should not have done this, also, Suki has to understand she can't flirt and call men out sexually because some will get the wrong idea and think that's consent when it's actually not. Suki was calling him out saying what she would do to him, speak on the entire situation not just part of it. Regarding YK WAS WRONG but tell the entire story because it's a teaching moment for both sides.

Mel is such a bird. They showed the video prior to YK touching her. Suki was telling YK that she is gonna eat him alive and do sexual things to him and then he came up to her. Suki has also performed sexual acts on 10 year old boys in her videos. She does not deserve sympathy. Keep the same energy when it comes to protecting young boys.

I was never a Gunna fan but this low key the best album he’s released! Can’t deny it’s 🔥

Ya wanted Mel to bring a female ma perspective but get mad when she goes alilll to long…lol ya nggas needa switch the topic without playing her

Protect killer Mike at all costs

Ish finally participated in the "JBP" jingle??? 😂 Great job dawg.

I understand Mel...but you need to take in account how uncomfortable that situation is for other men. There have been men killed for taking up for women they don't know. But overall we need more accountability for weird/wack behavior

In Home Depo Spitting the hardest verse I've spit in years 😂😂😂

Thank you so much Mel! It’s My Birthday and you have me in tears. Don’t be the, “ Drop Dead Gorgeous Girl,” in The Hood. You have to learn how to fight like a man and still fawn at times. This conversation was needed.

Every now and then (monthly/bi-monthly) we can enjoy a slimmed down crew for the pod. It helps the topics breathe a little better

Killer makes me proud and honored to live in Atlanta!! Salute 🫡 to jbp and happy Father’s Day to all father’s!!
