Valerie Vargas, Senior Vice President of Advertising and Creative Services at AT&T, relished in the Dallas based carrier’s excitement to bring the summit to life. “One of the hardest parts of breaking into any field is building a network and making connections with people that can help inspire dreams into reality,” she explained. “AT&T is a longstanding champion of mentorship across both business and entertainment and we hope the opportunities stemming from the REVOLT Hip Hop Summit help young people find their place.”

Joe Budden Gets Big Mad At Scottie Beam’s Feminist Stance, Sparks Gender War On Twiiter

Joe Budden vs. Scottie Beam

Source: Revolt / State of The Culture

Joe Budden had the internet buzzing this weekend thanks to a clip he shared from an upcoming taping of his Revolt show State of The Culture.

Without much description, with the caption “just gonna leave this here and go,” Joe Budden dropped the bomb in the form of a clip which featured a heated debate between himself and his fellow co-host Scottie Beam. Joe gets BIG MAD at what he describes as “fake women empowerment” and Scottie not being mad Brittany Renner for sharing her sexual escapades in her recently released tell-all book.

Scottie holds her own despite Joe not letting her get much input in and makes the valid point that male rappers talk about women whom they have had sex with on songs all of the time.

As you can imagine the video made its rounds quickly starting a gender war where many came to the defense of Scottie calling out Joe for what they took as misogynistic take meanwhile men like Freddie Gibbs took this as their opportunity to die on a crappy hill.

If just a clip could spark the masses, imagine what the debate in its entirety will cause to happen. Is this definitely not the “state of the culture?” Or did Scottie and Joe’s heated discussion cast a new light on the culture’s problematic ways?  You can see the fallout from Joe’s rage directed toward Scottie Beam in the gallery below.
