[@willjamesjr]

This pod lost it's edge, heart and it's integrity a long time ago.. Joe gives Akademiks a pass but if Vlad or Adam said this then he would have (rightfully) been ranting and tearing up his whole studio. Akademiks was disrespectful and no, it wasn't a drunk accident or youthful immaturity. The core of who he has consistently been is someone with 98% negative content and making fun of people he thinks he has more money than. He platforms the most negative, immature and racist stereotypes about our culture; beef, violence, jail and who is rich. That's his code. That's what he's into. He's lucky that LL is more mature and has waaaaaaaay more to lose than Akademiks. You can tell LL was holding back. I'm sick of people of all races pimping our culture and then turn around and burn the very same forrest that allowed them to grow. The guy is in his 30s. Stop acting like he's a teenager who just doesn't know right from wrong. He gets clout from violence that don't concern him, platforms TRASH artists, promotes rap beef that can turn violent, disrespects the culture and is best buddies with harmful people like 69 and Vlad! He's doing everything possible to disrespect hip-hop & our culture. But he keeps getting a pass.. wow.

I make more money now than my parents. I would never call em dusty just because they didnt make the money i make now at their age or because they dont have what i have. The only reason i have what i have is because they sacrificed. It doesnt matter if they judge my generation or the ones after. Imma do the same when i get to their age. Its about respect for paving the way for me to elevate and it should be left at that.

[@horemmars]

1st of all I'd like to start by saying I agree in some ways But I also see it from the point of view Of the younger guy who gets where hes trying to get to And this older guy who never ever helped him on the way up What to do now Your parents my parentsThey built 1st They may have had criticisms over the years But they built 1st I don't like The way the 5th floor of your life is going You going to take that into consideration because they have built The foundation up to the 4th floor But some random guy That watch you make mistakes After mistake the same mistake he made But he never Warned you once But now he wants to criticize you at the finish line Are you really supposed to listen

[@richkiddbeats]

@@horemmars i hear you but in Ak’s case he’s talking about guys that are the pioneers that did this shit before he was even born and probably retired before he became a media personality. The pioneers dont have to physically help just you, they helped all of us by daring to do the things at the time were taboo, uncommon or wasnt fully viable. Ak says he respects and grew up on Joe. Joe wouldnt be able to do what he did without watching his predecessors in either rap media or rap music like say a Jay Z. Jay always shows love and respect to Kane. Kane shows love and respect to Afrika Bambatta. Afrika Bambatta pays homage to James Brown. It keeps going down the line. You dont have to like or love them but respect should always be there for the ones the paved the way for you even if yall never had an interaction. If you respect and take care of the foundation of a building, it will stand tall and the floors above it wont ever have to worry about it crashing down.

[@horemmars]

@@richkiddbeats No he was talking about one particular person Months ago Someone cut the video And now it looks a certain way Because when this was originally said there was no push back That same clip cut a certain way made to look a certain way Now LL is responding to something that's 4 to 6 months old

[@richkiddbeats]

@@horemmars even if he was talking about a particular person at first he goes on to say and i quote “have you seen ANY of these old school rappers that call themselves pioneers really living good? Them niggas lookin really dusty, i kid you not.” Him sayin ANY opens it up to people outside his original criticism. “Anytime you see these old school rappers. You sure you invented this? Cuz everyone living better than you.” I think we are all familiar with the internet and how when you say something it lives on longer than just that moment so watch what you say.

[@cnsmooth]

It's because Hip hop is at the age where what is currently called "hip hop" is so far miles away from what early hip hop was that someone like AK who was born 20 years (at least) after it was invented cannot see the link between what he is listening today, to what came before. I was born well after hip hop was invented but. for example, Ice Cube AND Biggie sampled Grandmaster Flash, so I could never feel like they werent warranted of respect, because the artist I respected, where giving them the most respect already.

His reach to the younger generation is wide. He would be indirectly teaching the younger generation to disregard legends. Capitalism and legendary should not go hand in hand.
