You got to admit that its impressive that both 50 and Ye are still hot topics after all these years
50 kinda hot topic for all the shit he doing and being a troll (which is funny). Kanye a hot topic because he still is really on top of the culture and Hip-Hop, as well as being heavily controversial and saying crazy shit.
Amged Fraik i Think your wrong.
@Amged Fraik sunday service is everywhere tho, i think its fair to say hes still pushing the culture. the charts dont represent culture. just hype.
@Amged Fraik He hasn't dropped an album in a whole ass year and they still talking about him every week. Anything he does is iconic for better or for worse so he a trend setter still for sure
Skankhunt 42 agreed
Nicki shut down every McDonald’s in AK area code, had him calling for a truce...
Lmaooooooooooo
He better stop playing with her
the grammys r trash they only gave curtis his first and only grammy in 2010.
LOOOOOOOL. The internet is just so silly 😂😂😂
🤣
To me the Kanye Vs. 50 thing represented the shift in Rap from street to more melodic and eclectic.
Facts that’s literally what happened bro but people wanna say 50 fell off.
Wellllll....🤔🤷🏾♂️
@@quintonbell6836 for me it was a welcome change
and backpack rap
To me universal won big on that day
Most people would kill to wake up at 5 and just talk about hiphop lmao.
Artem 'what have i done' Lobov Exactly. They talking like it’s “real” work. Especially Nedeska. Try getting up at 4:30am, every morning to go on a construction site for long hours. These cats are wack sometimes
Retro Future 84- well Nadeska always works another job doing interviews and stuff so yeah
And get paid well for it
bigjayking24 you’re a fool if you think waking up to talk about hiphop is in the same level as most jobs. Grow up
Artem 'what have i done' Lobov Artem is the goat and the king of bare knuckle

See y’all in 2 weeks
Y’all have a lotta vacations. Plus 3-day weekends
Vlad Fifty-Two I’m bout to apply at complex. I need their schedule
Complex is the type of job you can call out for a itchy knee 👍
Somebody aint gon be back. Negotiations
@@716Duece wayno bout to leave.
Cause they really dont talk about nothing. Some episodes are shorter than others. They need to revamp the show. When they come back watch how they have a lot to talk about
Its so hard getting up at 5am to talk bout hip hop for 1 hour😂
I would literally kill for this job
Dre’ Oblivion she got more than one hustle and works 24/7 a job is a job
Kid cud is a legend! Literally influenced a generation and changed the course of hip hop in terms of style and sound
Especially Drake
When? Lol
@@jcarr1399 listen to any drake song...
J. Cole has never won a grammy, stays mostly quiet, is always clowned on for being boring, has consistently been ranked 3rd when considering the big three of this generation, and has NEVER complained about any of it. that's a guy who believes in the work he's doing, knows he's rich with fans who love him, and doesn't seek validation outside of the ppl he respects.
he's an ELITE MC, and no one would try his pen. he's respected by all the legends and all of his contemporaries. And he's gonna go down as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Nicki complaining because ppl like Cardi more than her is wack. Cole has way more of a reason to be upset, and he's humble at every turn.
Lead by example. J. Cole is the GOAT.
That Nigga Still Be Putting Me To Sleep Tho
😴 stfu
Y’all don’t even work on Friday, have so many 3 day weeks, so many vacations and don’t even keep the same posting time 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Lil Bibby fr if they was anyone else employees woulda been fired lmao
complain about 5am like people with real jobs don't do that every day
TrundlesScrotum what’s a real job
Nadeska u buggin " we dnt take a lot of vacations "
Take 2 weeks off for the xmas/nyrs . Take off a full week for major holidays like 4th of july and Easter. Then 2 week randomly like this vacation. Not to mention 3 day weekend's. But not gon front I would love this treatment too.
Yeah it's good for them. They just shouldn't be bitching. And acting like other people get more vacation lmao. They make a teacher's schedule look rough
and only on set for 2 hours smh. complaining about sleep coz shes up for 5am, have a midday nap when you go back home then wtf
J M and making hella bread. Ak making bout 35k per month on this show maybe more
Blue Goblin he’s not making that much 😂
@@Speedwayjay yes he is remember "Star" who was the last host was making 20k per month and even showed his contract on his own podcast after he was let go. So if he can make 20k how much u think AK making per month??
end 2008-2009 was really the illest time for hiphop. crazy nostalgia hearing them discuss these projects
Yeah alot of great projects dropped in 08'
Nadeska LOVES not doing this show
fr
You can tell it’s just a check. Plus who wants AK as your co-host. Especially if you love real hip-hop
@@coreypurvis3084 He's better than Waynos biased ass, he won't ever say bad things about ppl once they get to a certain popularity because he really wants to get invited to pool parties
Corey Purvis ak is really not the problem nadeska is the problem she meh
Tone Blue l want her too leave she’s such a bummer
I like how Ak is really keeping it 100 nowadays 💯💯
I’m here for Cudi
🤗
Alex Sanchez me too but also here for outkast andre ye of course,
Me too bro
Kanye brought out jay with him on 106 and park. 50 said on stage man this dude brought his big brother lol
Wayno is respected for Nicki. Love it 😩
I don’t like how Ak downplayed college dropout and late registration
NoRent TV gold digger might have been the biggest song that year
NoRent TV classic albums
NoRent TV it’s based off opinions, not facts. It really doesn’t matter what he thinks. If you fuck with just fuck with it.
AK downplayed it bcuz he wasn't hear when it dropped. Those who been following hiphop before AK came to the US with his culture vulture self knows lol!
He didn't. He basically said graduation was a step up. Not music wise but career wise.
Wayno gonna pull up on twitch ready to roll some dice.
Nine Year Old Lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bruh 😭😂😂😂😂
You fucked be up with that bro.... I’m literally in tears😂😂😂
😫😂😂
3 day weekends and two week breaks every month 😂😂😂😂 y’all got a hard life , I fw y’all tho 💯💯😂😂
If ya gonna take these long breaks every month at least make the last episodes longer.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was one of the people who thought 50 would sell more
50 sell more worldwide
Edsli stop it
Tarik Pryor He did sell more worldwide dummy he technically beat Kanye in sales he just lost first week sales but long term sales 50 won.
legendary fuck no nigga Curtis sold 1.3 million and graduation sold 2.1 million look it up nigga
Times were changing
50 cent video game (50 Cent: Bulletproof) is cool.
blood on the sand is 50s best video game
FlyiS A remember playing that joint on the PS2. Simple times.
Classic
How Ak say Jeezy wasn’t poppin in 09??? The Recession just dropped September 08’ !! 🤦🏽♂️ Niggas ain’t mention French was on fire dropped Mac & Cheese! Wiz was on fire 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ man y’all didn’t hit that segment all the way...
Facts
Akademiks about to lose some weight to hide his identity from nicki
Who tf is “EARTHGANG” ??
Wayno finally realizing him clowning ak about twitch and his ig vids a bad idea while nadeska still hating cus she jealous lol
I don't think Wayno ever said anything about twitch.
They both support his twitch they kno how big of a platform it is
TLOP is a fucking classic. Folks keep screaming bout the old Kanye like tlop wasnt an entire smash hit album that basically launched Tidal single handedly
In 2009, Kid Cudi, Wale, Drake, Big Sean, and Wiz Khalifa were my Top 5 favorite artists.
Joe Blow those were the days, high school and college years
I'm surprised super bass never won a grammy, I remember that song being so popular when it came out
How many breaks y'all GONE take y'all already only do da show 4 days a week🤔
why even bring nicki up in a 50/kanye conversation lol i don't even fw her like that but yall ODing at this point
This is the most Kanye compliments I’ve heard lmao
The Buzz Inc she just said yesterday she don’t want a Kanye album then today says basically the opposite lmao
@@emeryet971 Cause you already know Ye called dem dat nigga crazy 😂😂
So happy Wayno mentioned The Cool by Lupe. Such a dope classic album and Lupe the goat
I see Cudi I click. #GOAT
Curtis is hella underrated. I still bump that album til this day
Me too. Curtis is defiantly a classic.
Facts Curtis was a good album but Before I Self Destruct was way!! better that was a classic album sadly it was very underrated.
I agree. Curtis has some joints on it. I prefer the Massacre overall of 50 Cents albums
The only facts deez niggaz know is about Jay z 🙄🙄🙄
They forget Cam bodied 50 that summer with the Curtis diss that shit was funny
@@natureboy3200 Naaah 50 bodied cam, cam came back and said it was gonna be a hot summer🤷🏾♂️.. and it wasn't 🤦🏾♂️
@@Meprince1 cam
You mean wayno
Jeffrey Bernard Facts 50 bodied him and I fucks with Cam.
On sports center, viewers cant see their notes. Its helps them seem more professional and the conversation is better
50 should of never cut his ties with Dr Dre so early in his career. He would have been more iconic when it comes to music. Production killed his wave.
What you talking about Dre did production on all of 50 albums except Animal Ambition.
Nas went off on the Power 105 interview 🤣🤣🤣🤣 classic shit
AYO TECHNOLOGY WAS A NUMBER 1 RECORD... GET YALL FACTS STRAIGHT!!!
But that song is and was pure trash.........
@@jayinthebx Fine!! It was trash... it still was a number 1 record🤷🏾♂️.. taylor swift is trash to me... so her being a number 1 platinum selling artist dont count? The discussion was about the success of the record or album not if u like it or not ya dig!
Jay InTheBx Nah that song was dope for real.
@@legendary9689 I like the record.. I'm just sayin if he feels its trash cool.. but the record was still number 1.. I believe that was his biggest selling record on the album
Jeffrey Bernard It was and well deserved tbh the dude that called the song trash probably is a 50 hater and probably liked Candy Shop lol and that song is straight 🗑 and I’m a hardcore 50 fan
Is Anybody Gonna See Dj Akademiks Upcoming Movie "THE PURSUIT of HAPPY MEALS"
ofn 😂😂😂
you got that one, I make free beats on my channel btw
50 over Kanye
😂
NXAX YEEZY your name is “yeezy” LMAO
@@dreamchaser5753and?
Someone Should Create a Hip Hop History Awards.!! & Give Awards for Projects and Content that was Overlooked.
Wasn't Kanye vs 50 a topic a few weeks ago. No wonder you need to go on beak
Earthgang is dope, but the Outkast comparison is lazy, no need to compare them to the greatness of Andre and Big Boi
Honest opinion I feel like the reason why 50 lost to Kanye was because everybody wanted to see 50 retire that’s what I remember the atmosphere back then and I loved both of them back then
50 And Kanye on a compilation album would be fire the two broken jawed artists
15:24 “when do I get my flowers”
They say people will bring flowers to your funeral but won’t bring you soup when your sick.
Only watch this show for Ak, nadeska needs to get a complex backhand off this 😊
That would be lit! Wayno & Ak with the twitch!
2009 and surrounding years was definitely the best times in music.. like 08-2011 was amazing
ShaolinPrince718 07-12
Tarik Pryor 06-13
Ak mistaken nadeska for a chocolate 🍫 bar so now she wear lighter makeup 💄 😂 💀
Nadeska can stay on break.
break her neck
How old is this girl? Damn
All she does is interrupt people and force her favorite artists on you
2009 really was ☝🏽 one of the most interesting times in music for sure 🙏🏽
Dmn it!!! All i seen was the title and thought kid Cudi dropped a new album i instantly went looking. For that let down
Wayne made a song called I feel like dying and no one asked him is he ok lol
Just because you’re music is good, doesn’t mean you deserve a Grammy. But. . . I do agree with the moment for life shit. That song should have gotten some awards, def a grammy
every episode all i hear is drake drake drake like wtf
Rafael P. He must be on your mind shawty
Jayz jayz nas nas Nicki Nicki smh
Yea we Draked out
Dude has on a “Virginia is for Rebels” hoodie but doesn’t realize that Rebels symbolizes the Confederate Army in Virginia.....
Thats the flip, welcome to Rebel HeartZ, IG - TheRebelHeartZ
FSR has 1080/60p this still only 720/60p 😔😔
23:32 Lmao Wayno’s pause is crazy
I remember I was really rooting for ye ....that album graduation was so 🔥🔥 good morning .and flashing lights, and I wonder, big brother.. damn that his best album
It's competing with MBDTF to me but ain't no denying Graduation was top notch brilliance
Nadeska should never talk about Kanye....She is clueless about music. If the song is good, it's good. Kanye is too big to be cancelled. According to her, Kanye shouldn't still be making music. Have a more creative opinion about the artists. Don't be so dry
3 day weekends plus a vacation every month. Must be nice.
Not everybody knows this, but Ayo Technology was more for an European audience.
Jerome Nettey it had that feel when I first listen to it.
Justin Timberlake chorus was the only memorable part of that song.
ayo that shit ayo was hard tho wtf was I high or somethin
I remember when akademiks made a video about kodak dissing lil wayne and he said "what is this nigga aboogie smilling he dont even have a hit"
Man, Cudi is the goat. A lot of great artist paved the way for the new generation but Cudi, he did his thing. I respect that man.
Graduation was fire, Curtis didn't have a chance lol wasn't a bad album at all.
Finally nice sweater clothes at dj akademims
I remember when people clowned Andre' 3000 about his dress code, but no one denied his flow
Nas need to do a collabo with Nicki. Hopefully we get both of them a Grammy the same time.
Seymour Kitty they already have 2 collabs champion and sorry
@@natalieharrison4620 wow. They must of been flops. I never heard of em.
Seymour Kitty champion was dope
@@natalieharrison4620 i was thinking a song with just them 2 so they can get they 1st grammy together.
Seymour Kitty I think songs with them two on definitely exist on their hard drives. I’m sure it’s possible they’ll release a song in the future, their relationship seemed to end on good terms.
List of artists that never won grammys:
1. Tupac
2. Biggie
3. Jimmy Hendrix
4. Nas
5. Led Zepplin
Sphakamiso Zondi Zepplin would just need to turn around and give it to whoever they stole it from 😂
Dont ever disrespect Big Boi Daddy Fat Stacks - When 3k make a song like Kill Jill or the A get at me. And Speaker Boxx > Love Below (I go song 4 song with anyone)!
David Campbell I re-listened yesterday... Speaker boxx by a mile.
@@jozeffpierre1717 Not even close and Andre Stans want to throw that Hey Ya crap at us. And I love Andre 3K just like everybody else but a spade is a spade
11th of September 2001 Jay-Z blueprint
Ak: Ethos
Nedeska : Pathos
Wayno: Logos
The Audacity of these 3. How dare you mention anything about kid cudi, when not one of you mentioned kids see ghost when it came out. You three tried to sabotage that piece work of during good music roll out. Kids see ghost was the album of the year last year it was a top 3 album for both artist resume. And y’all let y’all feelings towards Kanye stop you from doing your job. Y’all should never talk cudi or ye ever again. Y’all just riding the wave like everyone else. Go back to talking about Uzi and lil baby
I understand you're frustrated, but KSG was not the album of the year last year. Victory Lap, Daytona, Swimming, Dicaprio 2, the Book of Ryan, and Some Raps songs were all better. IMO...
It was a top 10 album in one of the most hectic years in music in a long time. Lowkey they should leave Ye & Cudder alone lol I feel like they can't inform the lost on what was really going on.
TOPSHELFMIKE Daytona was overrated af
Tarik Pryor ok.
Lowkey ayo technology my jam til this day
same
i wake up at 3am every moring for work... stop complaining
Does anybody else get a lil mad when nadeska starts talking lol
When Nelly’s anniversary of accomplishments come up, don’t forget. He was Drake before Drake
No he wasn't. Stop
Always going on breaks 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I absolutely hate Nadeska's attitude towards AK. What is her problem?? He has the patience of a saint because I would have gotten her together immediately.
fr
2009 OB4CL2 dropped. Also Mos Def Ecstatic was slept on. I'm pretty sure DOOM dropped that year too but we was playing Kid Cudi.. Wiz Khalifa.. Curren$y.. Wale.. Gucci Mane.. Wayne..
They finally talking about the GOAT #Cudder
His recent interview with complex made him seem like a real lame tbh, music was good tho
@@alexseekingtheKingdom How tho? I didn't get that from the interview
@@henoksamuel4106 Just kept talking about himself even tho he's done nothing besides hide from music and put out bad albums completely different from what we liked him for. Trust me, huge og cudi fan but it seems like he just likes smelling his own farts
Don't forget 50cent had the first rapper solo video game.💡👍🏽💯
2009 year of the stoners the real know Wiz & Spitta 🤙🏾🤟🏾
The year I started. Definitely was the vibes
And Kid Cudi
Shit forget a Nicki Grammy
Jcole is owed a couple
"You Literally go to one show a year and you talk about it for a Fuckin Decade"lol Nadessssska? relaaaaaax!!
Proud to hear to them talk about the OG Cudi
Terrence J started this whole fuels no cap
Said he out here thuggin surviving off soda & nuggets😂😂
Nadeska needs to eat something...
Oh u be reading the comments Ak? Duly noted...😊
Just Listen to The Glory and Kanye explains why he was gonna beat 50 himself.
i love nedeska promoting shrooms "its great" "its all natural" lmao dope
I’ve always said that Nicki not having a granny is weird as hell. There has to be some politics behind that BRUH. I like Cardi, but I don’t think Cardi shouldn’t gotten that Grammy.
RAP ALBUM OF THE YEAR is a very prestigious award and I honestly think she didn’t deserve it. Nip or Travis should’ve gotten it.
Travis forsure
No one was tired of 50z Kanye’s music was better and was the future of where hip hop was going. If we were tired of anything we were tired of traditional gangsta rap. Shit was old and the song ain’t have imagination
Yep
Wayno was getting fed up with AK interrupting everybody. 😂😂😂😂
Ak asked Joe to stay at his crib since he alone now Joe said no thats the 1st place Nikki gon look. Joe took Ak to parks house but he gotta get off the couch when they do the Podcast
Chris Mikker when did joe say that? 😂😂😂
