Imagine someone writing a story about your life without knowing you or contacting you at all. How do we know people are telling the truth if they’re not actually gathering facts? Anybody can say anything. Simply giving information is NOT JOURNALISM if no facts are involved. Definitions actually matter.
Broadcast is also a sport just like the very thing they are reporting on. You read a headline and put a unique spin on it, there’s also an entertainment factor too this ain’t cnn
@@angelapetite4267 I don't know just because its unauthorized dont make it a lie. Sometimes the truth ain't official, or delivered from the horses mouth. How much truth do you trust for a plant to speak about them self
Streaming 9-10 hours a day and having thousands of folks watching/listening to you while you make a good living doing it doesn’t make you a journalist…and I think Ak would admit to that
I think a good example like a nfl corner even if they don’t make the play if the ball get thrown there way and the wide out doesn’t make the catch they gotta big them selfs up 3:06
Not great but definitely a good one. Always has his facts right and is transparent enough to let his audience when he has a personal vendetta against someone unlike traditional/old generation media who'll have an agenda against someone but not disclose to their listener
You might not wanna talk to those people but you should have actual facts or at least have the perspective of all parties involved in whatever you’re talking about
The problem is not journalism, the problem is that the old generation feel some type way now that the hip hop artists aren’t going to them. Time to stop complaining and upgrade your ways of journalism.
@@beach_boy1141love him or hate him you have to acknowledge that Akademiks helped usher in the internet being a legitimate platform for media personalities in Hip Hop he helped break the glass ceiling that was being propped up by old school Hip Hop media like radio stations and magazines radio is dying out and print media is dead the internet is where everything is and Akademiks ushered that in.
I never heard of Curtis before but now I’m a supporter. I hate this whole wave Akademiks ushered in. He is not Hip Hop and he has no idea about the black experience anywhere and that’s why he doesn’t respect any portion of the culture.
Exactly. He’s not black American he’s Jamaican. Same for platforms like Worldstar hiphop or The Shade Room. They’re not black American. Stuff like this needs to be mentioned more because it explains why there’s no integrity when it comes to being media outlets covering black Americans or who some would call FBA.
Give an explanation as to why Akademiks is not “Hip-Hop” cuz I see the purists and gatekeepers always saying who’s Hip-Hop and who isn’t and it’s annoying.
@@beach_boy1141oh please like black American media outlets don’t promote foolishness as well don’t throw the blame on to other people everyone is guilty.
Exactly like stay on topic the focus was the gossip journalism not being man enough to be called out when you are wrong and then he threatens mfs but never makes himself available Ak has gotten away with murder because it isnt a black person alive in any neighborhood or continent we would accept someone gossiping like a female threatening other men but not wanting to fight or threatening with police after threatening people @Highroller16

My only issue with this take is the conflation of the term media with journalism.
Big time. Journalism requires a lot of education and intelligence.

Same could be said for Steven a. He is bigger then most bench players. And he's a flexer
@@SolomonSmith-x2v ahhh great point

The Company Man proved he’s a KDOT glazer, Plain & Simple Cos There Was No Uproar when WTD did the Kendrick breakdowns.
You yt
@@BraMoore hell nah
His points are not valid AK don’t need to talk to these rappers he’s covering Ak but he don’t like AK and in covering AK it shows it’s not objective
In 10 years, what would be considered journalism?
Here's the thing, AK is actually a great journalist but he's also a personality. He feels like has to do these things to entertain his audience.
hes not a great journalist but he is a great personality
Not great but definitely a good one. Always has his facts right and is transparent enough to let his audience when he has a personal vendetta against someone unlike traditional/old generation media who'll have an agenda against someone but not disclose to their listener
@@morakinyoajibola8636 cant be biased and be considered a journalist
He has to be a personality because his platform has no real substance. His platform is all about beef and anything negative in hiphop.
@@zairethinker hehehehe, go tell that to fox and CNN

There's only one type of journalism. New media aren't journalists nor are they trying to be
Curtis king has nothing good to say about Drake or ak
Why should he tho
@@Highroller16 why shouldn’t he ??
@@amraykock620 He’s right…they don’t bring anything meaningful to hiphop or hiphop media.
@@Highroller16it’s called being objective otherwise you just come off as bias and from what I’ve seen Curtis is extremely bias.

@@khalilsmith6812 Which media outlets?
Curtis is one lame guy
🧢
Curtis is highly biased towards Kendrick.
Nothing new here
Was he speaking facts or naw you nuggas love bringing up kendrick so ak isn't biased? Lmao 😂.
This conversation is higher then Kendrick and Drake but go off tho
