    Budden's podcast has a lot of impact but I give the edge to Royce just off the strength of PRhyme.

    The only legacy JB has left in hip-hop imo is Pump it Up. And that's not something to be proud of.

    Budden 'cause he's big in his own right. He had solo hits way back and his podcast is popular currently. Royce has the Eminem association but has always lived in his shadow.

    Didn't Fire chart at basically the same level as Pump It Up?

    Very similar level I think. Royce has a slight musical edge by now and Budden obviously has done pretty well with his podcasting. At this point both are coming off as bellends to me if I'm being honest. I have the most respect for Joell Ortiz, who is never in weird arguments and is just interested in putting out music.

    BIGFOOT More than a myth!

    True, but that one record is bigger than Royces whole discography.

    Critically, Royce. Who’s more of an industry favorite? Joe
