The Many Beefs of DJ Akademiks

For many years, the journalistic skill set seemed set in stone. When it came to making a living in the media, there were rules and standards that you were expected to abide by, but none more so than a commitment to “objectivity.” In essence, this meant that there was an expectation that you’d report stories without comment, opinion, or allegiance to any one side. But somewhere in the internet age, this value system went out the window. In hip-hop, this meant that those who reported on the genre were often appearing in the headlines in their own right. And more often than not, it comes in the form of beef.
From his humble beginnings on KZbin in 2012, Jamaican-born DJ Akademiks-- lesser-known as Livingston Allen, quickly established a formula for success.
By making hip-hop news into digestible videos, he tapped into a generation that wanted the story in the most efficient way possible. Along the way, Akademiks realized that the sensationalized tales of rappers’ personal lives and feuds were a recipe for success.
Initially, Akademiks’ voice was all that was known as the man that’d one day become known as satirical rapper Lil Ak. But from the moment that his identity and appearance entered the public domain, he quickly became a target for those that he’d previously reported on from the shadows.

Ak does make some good points about a lot of rappers not actually fighting or being about “that” but I don’t see how he “won” a few of these. With Vic Mensa, I don’t get how he won. Vic seems to have made a point with reason & ak had no response. How is that a win? I say Vic Mensa easily won that. With wale, ak clearly won. Wale is so sensitive, it was easy for ak This is a clearly biased video. Your not counting ak’s loses. He clearly lost to desus & mero. He’s disliked not bc of his profesion but bc of how he behaves. The adam22 case is the perfect example. He can’t handle any criticism & will use anything outside of their work, personal lives and all, simply bc he can’t handle someone laughing when his name is stated. He’s so sensitive so he can be an easy target, like wale

[@justanotheryoutuber1997]

Well seeing how Vic killed his own career with his comments about Xxtentacion after he died and Ak is still relevant I’d give the win just off that lmao

[@sims4610593]

@@justanotheryoutuber1997 🙄 man stop. His comments about xxx (which were foul and hypocritical by the way) had nothing to do with his situation with akademics so how is that an L for vic. Y'all just say anything man. This video is sorta biased, one youtuber sticking for the next. This video is basically saying unless you out troll ak, engaging with him is basically setting yourself for an "L..", which I disagree with.

[@gobot581]

Idt Vic won. Ak argument was I’m just reporting. Vic argument was that he’s profiteering and instigating. Which profiteering is true instigating was essentially Chicago taking no responsibility for its problems and blaming everyone else. The news also reports on crimes just not how he does but you’re not going to run down on a news station. Essentially if you’re this tough guy you get no points for attacking a reporter. There are a lot of people profiting from from Chicagos rampant crime why was AK out of all people blamed.

Akademiks is one of the people in hip-hop who is not an artist who definitely isn’t helping hip-hop. It’s bad enough when you have artist like Lil pump and Tekashi69, people who really don’t respect hip-hop and who don’t have any talent and who don’t care about the history or the art of hip-hop and who just want to use it to get money, not saying that they shouldn’t be in it to get paid but back in the day you actually had to be good at it. These dudes just do it for shock value but what makes it worse is when the Teletubby is out here endorsing them and then on top of that as someone who isn’t a tough guy but loves drama, just like a chick doesn’t mind fanning the flames as long as he benefits from it. And then some of the cases people have lost their lives for this drama queen. Hip-hop has gone pop a long time ago but even with it going part it could still survive but when it gets diluted this much and you have cancers like him that can’t wait to exploit the negatives for his own personal gain it’s not a good thing. If you notice whether someone is an artist like Lil pump or Tekashi69 or the Teletubby who gets off on stirring up drama the one thing they all have in common is you can tell these are dudes that I’ve never been in a real fist fight one on one before in their life. All three of them represent their generation when it comes to the Internet tough guy. They didn’t grow up with social skills being able to look at another man in the eye and settle a dispute that way and it shows.

@@matucomedes bro in the twitter battle between him and Gibbs, Ak was the only one being mature telling Gibbs to post his bank statement but instead Gibbs choose to avoid it (probably cuz he’s broke) and just revert to acting like a 5 year old

[@victorokeahialam8925]

Ak only shouts about how he has more money than you, if that's a valid point to win then Ye has been winning against all his haters for a minute. But I guess money doesn't constitute a valid win when your not Ak. Because outside of that the dude has got nothing else going for him. Literally just a male version of Wendy Williams but on the Internet. ain't done nothing influential but gossiping like a old lady at a saloon. My main reason for not liking him was at the start of his career he can not deny it but he was helping police with investigation by pulling together information from various sources and condensing it into one video for the law to view. but I digress.

[@jackboy2413]

You don’t get the point Ak likes to pinpoint hypocrisy in his beef

[@theblackgods4699]

You definitely don't know what you're talking about

[@seeehorn]

You are ABSOLUTELY right!! DJ Akademiks has followed the Wendy Williams-Charlamagne-Starr playbook of making lots of money off bad-mouthing people/gossiping and instigating. This form of entertainment appeals to those with a JUVENILE MINDSET/THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. The fact that all of Akademiks "wins" involve him boasting about his money/lavish lifestyle or personal(sexual, in most cases) attacks is the ultimate proof of what kind of clown he and his fans really are. Akademiks is a product of SOCIETY BEING DUMBED DOWN over the past 10-15 years!!

16:04 Here you can see the reality of their lives. Adam: A person that grew up out of highschool, knows how to behave and talks calmly Akademiks: Super defensive looking for any "disrespect" (like the 16:35 clip) because he couldn't get pass highschool where he was picked on constantly.

The worst you can do to hurt your brand as an artist or generally, is pay attention to a troll because it gives them credibility. That’s a win win for them.
