While many will clown and make jokes about Vic, I respect the fact that he and Ak have shown growth and the ability to forgive and move forward amicably as men🤝🏽
@@4EvurPosters Bro got exposed by his gf, lost his Spotify podcast, had 2 live shows flop, his podcast with Celina flopped & he got passed up by NoJumper but you want me to pretend like he isn’t falling off or that this Akademy thing is going to work? Nobody cares to see Ak on a podcast with anyone unless it’s a Chicago rapper or one of his rich industry friends. This isn’t 2017 anymore.
Akademiks is someone who most of these rappers can't afford to have being mad at them. His platform is just too big & he's absolutely ruthless with those he perceives to be his enemies, clowning them with no fear or remorse. That's why in the end they all end up capitulating to him; cause' they all gon' end up needing his platform at one point or another. 🤷🏽♀️
Both of their careers are falling off... until AK starts covering other things. Drill, hip hop, music in music in general right now is a dying industry. It will be revolved, but both need each other.
Vic Mensa was the one back in 2014-2016, the Rock-Rap Alternative Superstar. But he knocked himself out of it by not dropping and dropping too many styles when he did. Glad he got this interview
Vic Mensa is a never was. Rock-Rap Alternative Superstar? Now it make sense how I only ever heard his name the first time in like 2020 when somebody mentioned to me he was from the city. To date still ain't heard none of his music lmao and I'm from Chicago.
Listened from start to end a lot of things were said that I needed to hear dead ass. I'm glad yall sat together, especially after the growth from both of you over the years. It was meant to be.
Actually dope seeeing both of them sit down and have a conversation. They seem like they forgot about the past shit and both moved on. Its really dope for Akademiks to invite him to his platform because to be honest Vic Mensa hasn't been talked about for a long ass time so this should help him out. No doubt.
It’s alotta immature perspective in these comments referencing this discussion as not needed or ak being a female for sitting down w/ Vic. Y’all need to grow up like these two individuals have 🏆
Then why don’t he sit down with Erykah Badu? Vic Mensa bitched him and humbled him and Ak think we gon forget about that just bc they got a new interview out. Foh 😂
@@cuzlightyear6184 nah don’t do that 😂 if it’s gonna be like that then he need to act this way towards females as well. Unless you are endorsing his sissy behavior
I’m happy that these two were able to get past their differences, sit down and have a discussion. We can all learn from both them about reconciling with people we have issues with in our lives.
I’ve been a fan of yours for a longtime AK. I used to comment a lot in the early days. And I still watch you on a daily. I’m just far behind on videos right now because of work. This is my favorite interview that you’ve done so far. I love the growth my boi. Vic Mensa has so much knowledge at a young age, he has an energy about him that reminds me of XXX. It’s different but he still has that light. And I’m sure you can see it to. Anyways, I hope you guys work together more. Keep doing what feels good to the soul my brothea ✊🏾
Idc about the comments on careers , just take it for what it is which is 2 men settling differences and being willing to communicate an potentially being positivity to younger groups
You can tell by looking at some of the comments in the comment section, that people are still mad that Vic Mensa and DJ Akademiks had buried the hatchet
Vic is so underrated and i hate how he had that bad moment and people were put off from his music because honestly all his music was great and the media did try to shut him out after that moment and before that moment especially Ak so to see this is great
I can't lie I came on here to hate and spam the comment section screaming RIP X!!!, but when I took a step back and said let me actually listen to him and understand the why. All I heard was me a young minority growing up in America confused but also angry regarding the position we are born in. I left this interview forgiving Vic Mensa regarding the recent anger against him but I want him to understand the same way he felt about DJ Ak doing war in Chiraq about his friend its how we felt dealing with the passing of a generational artist and having someone disrespect his name in front of his grieving mother I should stop while I'm ahead because I'm starting to get mad again and that is the total opposite emotion I want to share. All to say is we (myself mainly) have to understand that we shouldn't use our anger as a layer of protection.
Somebody tell VIC he need to find his identity. First he was a rapper, then a rock star and now he dressing like he in the RnB group immature with them bag ass shoes on 😂😂😂
Yeah before he had a deal with Spotify where he had to put episodes of "Off The Record" on Spotify and no other platforms. But his deal is up so now he can put them anywhere and he puts them on TH-cam and Rumble. I'm surprised hes not also on Kick.
The interview none of us needed nor wanted but vic needed an wanted cus his pockets is hurting an Akademics just trying show see nigga I told u you'd be back!
He’s found success outside of hip hop, from him being the first black multi million dollar weed company owner to his successful festival in Ghana bro is winning this hip hop ish is just for sport and he’s definitely talented
I respect what he is trying to say here. With that being said he dropped a few subtle hints here about his motivation being money. Which is cool just don't mask it behind the narrative he is trying to use. Also with this train of thought, Africa calls to us all because all humans come from Africa. Education is important
I don’t understand what Vic Mensa is talking about when he said that in America, you can’t buy anything from your phone. The only way we could do that in America, is that we have to sync our card with our phone. And they have Apple, Samsung and Google Pay
While many will clown and make jokes about Vic, I respect the fact that he and Ak have shown growth and the ability to forgive and move forward amicably as men🤝🏽
this interview shows we are greater together then are apart 🙌 🙏🏼
Bro is very well spoken also👍
Ak has literally had all these years to do this lmao the only reason he did it now is because he’s starting to fall off

AK look like he got stung by 1,000 bees 😆 🤣 😂

Yeah he pulled up back around this time more respectful because he needs your help now that his career done fell off once again lmao!

it's not gonna help, I think he just personally wanted to move on from the negative shit.

Vic Mensa has bars he has a lot of great songs
I love seeing growth and men being able to find common ground
EVERYTHING CAME FULL CIRCLE 🐐 🐐
You have no idea how much this makes me happy that this was able to finally happen in 2023.

Can't front. I respect the hell out of this. Good shit.
Funny how the energy changed since the show on Complex. Ak definitely leveled up more than Vic did & you can tell.
