🚨 Akademiks says the Drake ICEMAN snippet generated more buzz than J. Cole’s entire album drop “the fall off” Ak says the Iceman teaser he played on release day ended up out trending The Fall Off, saying the snippet pulled more headlines and conversation than Cole’s full project. He says the timing was intentional a “hip-hop moment” and claims if he had a Kendrick or Cole snippet, he would’ve played that too. Ak admits Drake fans weren’t happy, Cole’s camp wasn’t happy, and nobody liked the move, but says he did it for the moment and the culture.

🚨 Akademiks explains why he won’t compare J. Cole’s The Fall Off to Kendrick Lamar Ak says Kendrick has isolated himself culturally to the point where he has no real competitors left — “Who’s competing with him? JID? Baby Keem?” Ak calls J. Cole a “vegan rapper” and says it makes no sense to stack Cole next to Kendrick musically or culturally. He also predicts Kendrick is dropping again this year AFTER Drake, and says Kendrick’s career is in a rare space where competition doesn’t even exist anymore.

🎥 Akademiks Notices Something Missing in Drake’s Bahamas Studio Sessions… DJ Akademiks tapped in on Drake being in the Bahamas cooking up the ICEMAN album with Gordo and several other producers. But while breaking down the studio clips and credits… he caught something interesting. 👀 🧊 Where’s 40? Ak points out that Drake’s longtime producer 40 (Noah Shebib) has been nowhere to be seen lately.

🚨 Ebro says the Drake/Kendrick beef actually HELPED BOTH artists arguing Drake’s albums before the battle were “quieter than ICEMAN” and that the beef gave him the storyline this era needed “Before the battle, his albums were quieter than ICEMAN. Never forget that.” Ebro says the battle gave Drake “a story, a purpose, a reason” and an “him against the world” narrative, while Kendrick came out of it with “Not Like Us” and the Super Bowl moment.

🚨 Wayno says Drake can’t keep talking like “the ink ain’t dry” and “it’s scary hours” while his own lawsuit says he suffered humiliation, emotional distress and anxiety from the Kendrick battle. Wayno says he still thinks ICEMAN is a very good album, but argues Drake’s tough talk hits differently when those claims are sitting in court filings. He also says Drake may have been taking a shot at Rick Ross, adding that despite Ross trashing ICEMAN, Drake clearly has the better album this year.

Despite that, Shawn cee says he still doesn’t want Future to change. “When Drake’s doing what Drake’s doing and he’s not good at it, I want him to change. When Future’s doing what Future’s doing and he’s good at it, I don’t want him to change.”
