State Champ Radio Angela Rye
Angela Rye caught the attention of cast members of The Joe Budden Podcast after she recently critiqued the program in a recent episode of the Native Land Pod. After originally titling the episode, “Joe Budden and the Dumbing Down of America,” Angela Rye apologized for the show’s title, although one of her co-hosts stood their ground with their criticism of Budden’s massive broadcast.
In the episode now titled “Do We Need to Talk About Black Intellectualism?,” Angela Rye and her co-hosts Tiffany Cross, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers got into a debate regarding a heated exchange from The Joe Budden Podcast co-hosts Marc Lamont Hill and Trevor “QueenzFlip” Robinson.
Hop the 24:00-minute mark to hear the Native Land Pod discussion on Hill’s place on the JBP.
Cross raised the idea that the dustup between Hill and Robinson was a battle of wit and ego, acknowledging that the longtime professor and journalist is more than what some might assume. Cross also feels that, because of Hill’s pedigree in education and journalism that he shouldn’t be a member of Budden’s successful media network.

Budden, along with co-host and longtime friend Antwan “Ish” Marby, addressed the Native Land Pod critique, with Marby making certain to mention that Robinson is successful in his craft despite what observers might feel is lowbrow content from the Queens native. Budden followed and pondered what inspired the jabs from Native Land Pod and stated clearly that Hill never positions himself as the smartest man in the room, although the cast acknowledges his accomplishments in their own way.
After some heated discussions across social media, Angela Rye apologized to the JBP for the previous episode title during an episode where Charlamagne Tha God joined Native Land Pod and essentially defended the cast from the critiques. For what it’s worth, Cross stayed true to her stances and didn’t waver.
Catching wind of Charlamagne’s appearance on Native Land Pod, Budden thanked The Breakfast Club co-host for his defense of his team.
New JBP co-host Mona, aka Don’t Call Me White Girl, suggested that Angela Rye visit the show, while Budden aggressively dismissed Cross, calling her a “nobody,” but Hill stepped up to defend one of his media colleagues.

Jill Stein faced off with Angela Rye on The Breakfast Club and had several talking points rebuked, with social media cheering the situation.
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein appeared on The Breakfast Club on Thursday (September 12) and faced off with journalist Angela Rye who was a guest host on the show. Stein got off to a bad start when Rye asked her why she felt her campaign was “winnable”, noting that Stein wasn’t on the ballot in at least 13 states including three that allow write-in votes and reading off all of her electoral losses dating back to 2002. “We will be on the ballot for 95% of voters. That is more than enough to win an election,” Stein replied.
Rye would then ask about the Green Party’s lack of grassroots organization, prompting her to ask Stein about how many members were in the House of Representatives. “How many total are there? What is it, 600, some number?”, Stein replied. Rye would correct her. Charlamagne Tha God pointed out that Stein and the Green Party appeared to have “a lot more smoke for the Democratic Party”. That led Ware to deliver an attack on Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her critique of the Green Party and on Vice President Kamala Harris for her stance on Israel and Gaza.
“It is the talking point of AOC the other day, taking her marching orders from the DNC, that we are only running for president,” Stein stated. “It is amazing to hear you talk about women of color as parroting talking points instead of us looking at basic math,” Rye said, adding: “The one thing AOC has done that you haven’t, is win some elections.”
Those who managed to catch the episode noted how much Rye countered Stein’s talking points, and applauded her for doing so. Others criticized Rye for appearing to be too combative, with one Ocasio-Cortez noted the exchange in a post on X, formerly Twitter, writing: “This is a person running for President who doesn’t even know how many US Representatives there are. If we want to be real about building alternatives to the status quo, we must build a left that is serious, powerful, and persuasive. This is not that.”

Journalist Angela Rye criticized and fact checked Black supporters of Donald Trump—particularly Sexyy Red and other rappers.
As the 2024 Presidential elections approach, journalist Angela Rye has been observing that there have been rappers making public declarations of supporting former President Donald Trump if not supporting Republican politicians. Ice Cube has drawn some flack for his stance as well as Killer Mike and Ye aka Kanye West, amongst others. The most recent from the rap world to do so has been Sexxy Red, the rising star who gave her public support for Trump in a recent interview.
The St. Louis rapper’s comments compelled Rye to create and release a two-part video in her Break It Down series posted through social media addressing her and other rappers’ fascination with the twice-impeached president. “This is Part 2 for #SexyyRed and other Blacks for Trump: what in the hell do you have to lose? EVERYTHING,” Rye wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter announcing the second part, concluding: “I heard y’all on the stimulus piece. I have something coming on that ASAP, but I wanted you to get this history first.”
“Some of this misinformation — some of these ‘facts’ — have to be fact-checked,” Rye begins in the first video. “The arguments about what Trump has done for the Blacks have to be called out, have to be addressed. This video isn’t just about Sexyy Redd. This video series are really to ensure that Black folks who are for Trump or just might be by default understand what he’s done or not done for us.”
She then goes on to state that just because Trump commuted the sentences of Kodak Black, Lil Wayne, and Alice Johnson doesn’t mean that he has been hard at work trying to pardon other Black people, making allusions to his treatment of the Exonerated Five. “There are still a lot of Black folks who were in jail under Donald Trump. See the thing that you have to understand is that out of all of the people who requested clemency, a commutation, a pardon, Donald Trump was actually the president who pardoned the least number of people since 1945,” Rye stated.
The CEO of IMPACT Strategies stressed that she put these videos together to inform and not berate Sexyy Red and other members of the Black community. “I did this out of love. I am committed to teaching with grace,” she writes.
