On the latest episode of Complex's "Everyday Struggle," Joe Budden made a series of decisive statements re: Lil Yachty's recently-released album cover and the rapper himself.

"You know how I feel about Yachty. I never want to talk about Yachty. I don't think that Yachty is hip-hop...I don't think that Yachty's label is hip-hop, and when you're not hip-hop and you're trying to troll or exploit, you get things like this album cover which is to draw attention to music that's not drawing attention," Budden said.

Budden and Akademiks continue to talk about Yachty's marketing strategy, exploitation and authenticity in hip-hop, New York radio, and more.
