DJ Akademiks built like Blastoise

Emmanuel Vance mad childish lmfaooooooo
Emmanuel Vance omg 😂😂😂 💯 swear!

Harambe GTFOH with that shit.
Joe budden must've loved this episode
George Lucas
George lmao the beef
noticed how he made Ak say all the shit about Drake, n still hit him with subs...lol...classic Joe
Meek was a martyr for the greater good
Why Joe can't just admit he's happier now? 😂 Man I love Joe Budden but he's his own worst enemy sometimes, but I think getting to express himself about Hip-Hop culture on a platform like this is probably better than therapy. He would have been sat at home watching the BET Awards whispering to himself "I wish Migos would throw me some sass."
TrinimanBanton he could write hits all day. But he won't dress like a metrosexual millennial and play the industry politics that pop stars play to sell records. In fact maybe you're right, maybe he has too much I self respect to write the kinda shit that sells these days so maybe in a way he can't I but he can write a better flow with more wit and wisdom than Drake or Migos put together. Did you hear his verse on The Bar Exam 4 mixtape by Royce (Chopping Block featuring Slaughterhouse?) Listen to that n come back. He is one of the best rappers on planet Earth bar none, Eminem agrees with me, Hov agrees with me and Royce agrees with me so you can eat a dick. But your mouth is probably full of Migos and Drake right now. 😂
😂😂😂😂
Joe Budden: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dj: is it actually funny?
Joe: No.

When Budden brought up Passionfruit but sang Madiba Riddim
A• MaD8 right
A• MaD8 was just about to comment that lol
Meek mill died for us people. He sacrificed himself to expose the Real Drake. But we were too blind to see then. All hail Lord Mill. You might've lost the battle but you won the war. sorta.
sangam pun but he not dead he on fire right now
sangam pun but I def get your point
tonell Miller he resurrected
snowden all over again
sangam pun it’s Drake!!! Meek lost the battle and the war😂😂😂
Listen in regards to the Meek Beef. Drake may have won but Meek tainted his career so he definitely won a battle
Kvng _Ty Meek won the war
NICC NICC
ur smoking
Who else watching this scrolling through the comments
leo nuno every TH-cam video I've ever watched
these comments my nigga have me 💀
this is why meek really took the W
CrunchyAF how has meek taken the W, what has he gained? They both lost tbh
Jola Adebiyi in my opinion he ruined drakes career. drake is too big to be fully murdered but even me myself im not a drake fan anymore after i found out he didnt write his own shit. i still like drake but cant see him in the same way and meeks diss tracks were probably better its just drake has a mainstream audience and too many people to lick his ass clean. even tho drake probably the biggest artist right now, he would be bigger if meek hadnt exposed him
Jola Adebiyi since meek called him out people have always assumed he's still ghostwriting, meek might have never dropped as good of a diss track but he fucked with drakes career
CrunchyAF Idk about that cuz he's still huge he's still worldwide, in fact his global appeal is probably at an all time high
Bryant Brown yeah hes still probably the biggest artist in the world right now but the fact that meek let everyone know that he had a ghostwriter makes him less great and stops him being one of the greatest
Allegations? Didn't we already confirm that he has ghostwriters from that Quentin Miller situation
Akademiks ruined his chances with Nadeska by saying he wants some groupies. I saw the look on her face. 😂😂😂 I honestly think if he had a little bit of smoothness in him he could talk to her.
Is Akademiks ever gonna ask Nadeska out on a date or na
Coup Music Official na bruh
he gon give her a big belly
Came right back up
Nadeska lookin like dessert
Nadeska lookin' extra cute
Jack of all Trades it's the lip gloss fam
False
He'll never escape it
The evolution of this show be crazy. Remember when Ak and Joe was ready to swipe eachother at the beggining? Now these niggas best friends I swear #Joekademiks
I'm really mad at myself for not watching these episodes when they originally dropped. This show really was onto something big. Also! It's funny hearing Joe's issue with Cheesecake line - i agree with it being ecorny? But it was never THAT serious to me. The album overall was weak but Child's Play was always my favorite track
'Nothing Was The Same' since 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late'. 💯 #FACTS
PHXNTXM N.W.T.S will forever be his best body of work.... the consistency of the climax of the story
After his 3rd album, he fell off as far as his hunger and effort
11:01 "Drake ain't even claiming the baby" Joe be knowing shit man 😂
LOL the weekend saying he gave drake half his album that just confirmed everything.
Joe: “Drake won’t even claim the baby... “ 😳this was far before the Drake v Pusha beef 👀
i love joe budden. He brings an edge that young people like ak are missing. He's not perfect (by a long shot) but his opinions are extremely relevant to an older generation of hip hop fans.
making a murderer is one of the best diss songs tbh
Ima say one of the best diss songs this decade. Maybe.
Watching him host the NBA awards it's clear he's a actor! An actor can act like a rapper any day of the week!
Twell609 Always said this, he started as a actor and he didn't grow as a rapper, he just took in other rappers persona, particularly Jay. But that shyt aint work bcuz hiphop is genuine and the phony will never last....
@@Daejuice215 He hasn't lasted? His career is ten years long at this point. Lol
Kendrick is the best of both worlds. Acclaim and artistic integrity
A Child Called IT
Kendrick: I'm the greatest rapper alive.
Cole: These niggas insecure, they talk about being the man so much I finally understand that they ain't even sure.
Point being, Kendrick is alright, and Cole is alright aswell, they're okay.
Rick DLC Kendrick only said he was the best one time. That nigga spits the best bars a person can hear. Don't try to put J Cole and Kendrick at the same level cause Kendrick is an undeniable lyricist. Cole just touches hearts and his bars aren't that good simple as that.
i think lyricaly jcole is better
Dj Bruhxal I agree, I was just trying to keep neutral ground lol.
Rick DLC yeah smart move cause if you put kendrick behind someone on a list you always get attacked i swear they treatin him like hes a god
Kenny smith got me dead 😂
meek may have lost the battle but he won the war
Keanu Currie Both of them should have never beefed. Meek cant drop a song without people replying with L and Drake cant shake the ghost writer jokes
No.
@The incredible hulk for real i bet if they both had they time again haha dont be surprised if we get that meek and drake collab soon
Meek catching more L' s than the Knicks the past two years. Jumping safaree, tryna beef w Game & 50. Nothing that's been spoken about on him is about music period.
Keanu Currie Drake has no respect for meek tho.. meek tried to kill his career literally
I am his 👻 writer
dothatshit! The Kid Streamer
dothatshit! exactly
TheKid Streamer same
No!!I am his ghost writer!!
TheKid Streamer nope, Me
wale still took an L from this
Fhfh Bdbdbbf gold
I agree with Akademiks I'm a huge Drake fan know everything from Room for Improvement to More Life. Akademiks is right Drizzy Marley is TRASH I'm tired of hearing the same type of melodies on the same dancehall type of beats it's just getting old
Nadeska lookin fine Af
"You want groupies without ironing...back to you Nadeshka."
I'm dead lol
Rap Genius exposed him also showing that some of Fake Love was written by a woman named Starrah
Erykah Badu Did they though? She's openly credited along with 2 other writers. Something that's been out there for awhile.
Joe killed me with the cheesecake factory rant 😂😂😂
Drake can't escape being #1 on the billboard either.
MoRico27
Funny you say that because drake only has 1 number one single on the billboard
He has a white fan base. What do you expect?
I bet it's not his first time having a #1 single or #1 album. He can drop a fart on a track and it's going #1.
That subtle pause right before Akedemiks brought up 4 PM in Calabasas are the moments I live for.
maaaann always keep your sense of humor.
Drake is the tom Brady of hip hop lmao
leo nuno
No hes fuckin not
Get yo lame ass on
leo nuno he is
Tomorrow Brady is the best QB of all time.... Drake is not the greatest rapper of all time lmao not even close
Sue Newrock He is statistically though this a good analogy a lot ppl would say Tom Brady not the best Qb but statistically he is
Drake better not diss everyday struggle , Joe budden bought to drop 20 more drake diss 😂😂😂
Im not a drake fan but if you were handed a #1 single you would take it, i think allegations should be kept to rap
either he has a ghostwriter or he takes other ppls verses so either way he loses
Sylvia Ramone technically either way he wins cause he still getting paid for it🤷🏾♀️
Deep Dream he might get paid but it makes his reputation look bad, That's why he gets dissed by other artists because he ain't original
Deep Dream thats all that matters to ppl nowadays. whether hes topping the charts or not hes still lost all credibility along with respect
hes a fuckin joke now
Sylvia Ramone get real times have changed and the respect factor means less and the money and awards mean more, not that I agree with it but thats how its been for the last ten years
personally i look at it like this the dude can write and rap cause whos was there in the begining so i know he got the bars
Everyday struggle is the best thing Complex did
Told y'all when this shit first came out y'all may be clowning meek but drake will never live this down it tainted his career so who really took the L
This is definitely the happiest episode of the series so far.
Meek lost the battle but won the war.
Not going to lie, Everyday Struggle is pretty entertaining lol.
Drake has written for Beyoncé and Alicia Keys and PartyNextDoor has written for him..It all comes full circle
jaws102585
Beyoncé & Alicia Keys aren't rappers. If you're gonna make that comparison, then Drake must be considered an R&B artist. Not a true MC.
Just Bake drake got too many great rap songs to just be considered an r&b artist
Did he pen em all?
Joe : "Now why you wildin"😂
Allegations???? 😂😂😂 stop the bs it's a fact no allegations
Philly 215 It's an allegation, so because Meek said it on twitter no proof nothing it's automatically a solid fact??? Foh
Michael d nah man everyone knows about the writing credits and ovo tents
lol bro stop it, type in 'quentin miller reference tracks' in YT.. its a FACT
krank drake spoke about it on dj semtex interview, and explained that him an quentin collabrated on 5 songs on iyriitl, and both was writing together. those refrence tracks could be recorded after drake, no one knows. But the reason they leaked was beacuse somebody higher ups (jay z) wanted to keep drake down during the beef beacuse meek was getting roasted.
Mahan Safarzadeh Out of curiosity, what makes you think it was Jay Z? I know the two have thrown shots at each other in the past, but it didn't seem serious.
Somebody make Akademiks a hoodie that says *"doesitlooklikeiwasleftoffbadandboujee"* all in one word, and send it to him so he can rock that shit on an episode next week.
2024 answer: NOPE🤣 he hasn’t escaped this yet
DJ Akademiks low key probably had a smile on his face behind the scenes talking about Drake
MEEK WON THE WAR
drake made 94 million last year lol
rocco mane come on lets be honest before the beef some people in europe did not know him
rocco mane more of a draw to me
rocco mane meek can't even break 100k sales
Buba Buba and even after all that money I bet the nigga still salty , his legacy will be being one of the greatest popstar /commercial rappers ever........but his name will never..........ever........
ever come up in a greatest of all time rapper/lyricist lists
"You got on a shirt with a broken heart, that's wrinkled" lol
Lol u can tell Ak hella pressed
Akademiks the type of nigga to cover his test when he sees you trying to copy
Listen to 5 AM in toronto and tell me Drake isn't a rapper. Or Weston Road flows or two birds one stone.. It's ignorant to say drake doesn't go hard when he needs to
How do we know we wrote either?
+West Brook how do you know he didnt wrote it?
Jay Dollaz that's the issue I have doubt in my mind whether he did or not
Joey said he loves passionfruit but got it confused with Madiba Riddim lyrics lol
I think #drake writes his music,period .
OklahomasDj LilSmurf f look up Quentin Miller.
@5:54 think Joe meant Madiba Riddim
Drake dont write his raps
Fake! If he has someone to hold his hand so he can make a hit, to me he is not the best, i still will listen to drake but that will always make him less, ghost writing it can be done but this bulshit era that we live in today, people don't care abour REAL anymore, this ain't wwe, even todays wrestling is more clear,organic and real than todays music
I love that Kenny Smith has his finger on the pulse 😂
In my opinion, hes not an artist. What does he actually do? He doesnt produce, write lyrics, etc.
He just reads em of the paper, like wtf 4real man
Felix Van Den Berghe he does write but he's used writers for some songs that's known
Felix Van Den Berghe he's an entertainer he entertains people
Towelie he clearly doesn't use ghost writers now. I can tell cause that niggas bars are straight booty.
Stroud Tha God facts😂
Felix Van Den Berghe I was just thinking the same thing. Is he even a good "entertainer"? Like, what is he? I don't think people think about that.
Shorty in the middle gets interrupted in every single video lmao can't even get a complete thought out.
Drake the G.O.A.T.
NOTHING YALL SAY, WILL STOP WAT HE HAS DONE.
BEST BARS
BEST SONGS
BEST CATALOG
#FACT
James Perry
Rappers with better catalogues than drake.
Kanye
Hov
Kendrick
Outkast
Pac
Eminem
These artists have multiple classic albums, drake has one. Not only that drake has one Grammy in an era where hip hop is the most popular music
Bryson Blake clearly u thought u was finna sell me sum.BULLSHYT!BUT IM NOT BUYING IT😂
DRAKE #1 MOST BILLBOARD HOT 100 #HIT SONGS!
JZ THE ONLY PERSON MADE THE LIST WIT 87
DRAKE HAS 110😂😂😂
Nd like J said, #Z_DONT_LIE
F.Y.I. GRAMMY'S MEAN NOTHING IN HIPHOP
PLUS DRAKE HAS 4 CLASSIC ALBUMS!
SO FAR GONE
TAKE CARE
NOTHING WAS THE SAME
VIEWS
ALL BETTER THEN EVER KENDRICK ALBUM SO THATS HOW IK U HATE DRAKE
James Perry
So far gone isn't an album 😂😂😂
Views was trash
NWTS is good not a classic.
And the whole "Grammys don't matter in hip hop" statement was only true back when hip hop was new and wasn't as popular in the mainstream as it is today.
That's why Kanye and hov have over 20 and Kendrick is on pace to reach them.
James Perry K dot shitted on Drake all of 2017 tho💀
everybody peep how dj akademiks agrees with every thing joe says from 0:34 to 0:47
Childs play is one of my favorite songs on view after Weston Road Flows
New D grammys, views, hype are all good aswell
my name jeff Grammys is only good cuz of the best switch and Future coming in
Donte Looney i prefer drake on the song than futur
childs play is good until you actually listen to the lyrics I hate the song because in the situation he was talking about he was such a pussy.
New D childs play is one of the worst songs on views
"Why do niggas feel so entitled? You want groupies without ironing" - this line lowkey hit Akademics hard enough to now force him to step his game up lol thank you Budden.
Everyone salty cuz they want their fav rapper to take drake's place. That being said drake fell off after IFYRTITL and clearly used ghost writers on some of his pop hits
The Incredible Hulk I just want for him to take responsibility for his actions.
The Incredible Hulk Drakes place? Plenty of people are above him and have been for a while. Plenty of rappers clearly have better lyrics then Drake will achieve even with ghost writers.
Stroud Tha God who's above Drake rn please let me & don't say Kendrick I consider them 1a & 1b
Do you know what a Ghost writers mean QM was always credited get over it
BasedGod Deo
Bar for bar J. Cole, Krit, Kendrick & Joey Badass are all way ahead of Drake. Popularity wise I believe J. Cole & Kendrick have surpassed him. Aubrey is a hit maker, he's no MC. He was just playing his part until he got exposed.
"You got a shirt with a broken heart on it and some wrinkles talking bout' I want some groupies" 😂😂😭
drake's legacy has been tanted for good. Cultural vulture for life....
Fact
11:05 dis nigga Joe kills me 😂😂
Do jigga and kanye not have writers too?
long dick nigga I haven't heard not one person clown Kanye for writers and he does have them
Towelie But Kanye is more of a producer than a rapper, so it doesn't matter as much. Whereas Drake is predominantly an Emcee, so his reputation is forever tarnished.
long dick nigga ye never denied or hid that shit
Jay-z freestyles in every album
those writers are to write the actual song hooks/melodies. not for the raps.
"you want groupies without ironing" I'm dead bruh
If you look closely you'll notice Joe Budden is wearing Aladdin Pants #alittlesus
“You want groupies without ironing” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
so complex when we gunna get a joe budden closet cause dude be rocking straight Adidas heat
We hold RNB Drake to hiphop rules which isn't fair. Until you hear a reference for one of his time stamp joints or just a joint where he's really getting bars off then I feel he should be held to the fire. But when it's for a song like Know Yourself 10 bands legend and company. Songs that are more focused on cadence and melodies rather then actual wordplay. It just isn't fair because he has to cater to a alot of different ears
"You want groupies without ironing!?" 😩😩😂😂😂😂
Watching Vic put Akademiks in his place was beautiful I loved it!
Joe Budden looks exactly like this white dude named Brian Redban and I'm shocked that it took me this long to finally put my finger on it.
Chris Crux late response. But I don't see it... at all
I don't think anyone heard Drake call him Kenny "In Debt" Smith 😂😂😂 💀💀💀
Can y'all upload these on podcasts app or some shit? Cause there ain't nothing to watch here. I would rather just have audio.
Akademiks legit looks like that orange face meme lol
5:19 Thats when Drake took Big sean flow
ak: yes
budden: FUCK NO!
that nigga budden does tounge moves like one eye from harry potter :D:D lmao
"You want groupies without ironing" LMBO Joe a savage
This show is getting better and better
Why you gotta fight with me at cheesecake.. NO NO NO NO😂
Nah Joe Budden funny asl talking bout: "you got a broken heart on your shirt that's wrinkled, talking about you want groupies, you gotta iron" 😂😂😂
When War Pain came out and Meek was at the 76ers game 10 minutes after drake dropped his diss and Meek was saying what he said on the diss was when the tables turned
they need to get Drake up there
I feel like the only people who still bring up the writer thing are the same people who hated drake before it.
"You want groupies without ironing..." 😂😂😂 Joe is murking this week.
Drake needs to be on here
