Yesterday (May 3), Lil Yachty became the first guest of DJ Akademiks and Joe Budden's "Everyday Struggle" show. 

We all know by now that Budden isn't the biggest Yachty fan. In fact, he straight up can't stand him. So, when Lil Boat started talking about his music, his views on hip hop and more, things got interesting. First, Yachty spoke about his upcoming album, Teenage Emotions. “Honestly with this album, I felt a lot more pressure. I think it’s because this is the first project that I am considering an album." 

He continued: "I know people are probably like, you have three other projects, which technically can be considered albums, but this is the first project that I have personally labeled one and I just want it to be good, so I approached it different creatively and I took it more serious.”

Then, Yachty further got into his personality, which Budden didn't understand. Lil Boat said that he wakes up happy and this got the 19-year-old artist even more on Budden's bad side. "You can’t tell me you wake up every day happy 24/7, because to say that you are lying,” the "Pump It Up" MC said.

Yachty responded: “When you come from living in a dorm room with no clothes, no girls, no cars and then you go to having three cars, girls, and money; you can’t help but be genuinely happy that things are moving in a positive direction.”

Since then, twitter has been reacting to the interview between the new school and old school hip hop artists. It seems like many people are laughing at Budden's over-the-top slamming of the newcomer when Yachty said he's "happy all the time." Read some tweets below.
