Joe Budden and Adam22 may occupy the same space these days as popular internet broadcasters, but only one of those men has a history as a fine lyricist. That face didn't stop Adam22 from bashing Joe Budden in a recent crypto session, but the self-proclaimed “Podzilla” responded as only he could.
Adam22, the host of the No Jumper podcast and YouTube show, shared excerpts of a crypt featuring all the hosts from his network, highlighting his work at the bar. Although we've never heard the host – real name Adam Grandmaison – rap before, at least he stayed on beat and sounded as comfortable as he could considering the level of skill he'd displayed.
On the real track, Adam22 wastes no time going after Budden, who has long since retired from rap to focus on his podcast empire. The pair have also crossed paths and in one of their chats, things got tense when Budden pressed the newly minted MC on his past history.
“'Pump It Up' the last time I heard Joe rap/That old ass finally got his gold plaque,” Adam croons over the trap-style beat, referencing a time Budden received a gold RIAA-certified plaque to commemorate the classic single officially selling over 500,000 copies.
In response, Podfather, another self-created moniker, took to X, formerly Twitter, and shrugged off the jabs, writing “LOL” in a reply to the quote on the social network.
Adam aside, it's hard out here for a lot of people… do what you can.

He then followed up that response by saying, “About Adam, it's hard out here for a lot of people…do what you can.”
One would imagine this would gain traction on both Adam22 Without Jumper podcasts and The Joe Budden Podcast on the weekend.
