Akademiks says J. Cole has always loved Kendrick Lamar more than himself and calls Cole a “beta male.” Ak runs through a whole timeline: Cole allegedly taking a slap from Diddy while defending Kendrick, still name dropping Kendrick on First Person Shooter even after Kendrick declined the verse, then Kendrick firing back on like that just for Cole to apologise to Kendrick on stage in front of 30,000 people Meanwhile, Ak points out Drake never even pushed the “big three” angle that was always Cole

🚨 Akademiks explains how he thinks Kendrick will respond if Drake ends up right back at the top after trying to eliminate him Ak says Kendrick will likely push the angle that Drake becoming bigger commercially doesn’t mean he controls the culture Ak says Kendrick probably sees Drake as just “the pop guy” while positioning himself as still being the one who runs rap culturally Ak adds “Kendrick isn’t like Cole… he has too much pride to just move on like nothing happened”

🚨 Akademiks on why he feels J. Cole is different from Kendrick & Drake Ak says Cole genuinely comes off as “the man of the people” he says “Cole moves like a regular guy, the type to apologize to a UPS driver for cutting him off, and that the humility doesn’t feel performative at all” Ak adds he can’t imagine Kendrick or Drake moving with that level of fan access, saying Cole doesn’t act like one of the most famous rappers on earth and actually listens to the people around him

🚨Akademiks gives a BLUEPRINT on how to beat Kendrick Lamar in a battle to Drake, J Cole and anybody that wants to get it in with him. Battling Kendrick isn’t about bars, it’s about how far you’re willing to go. Kendrick has no limits, no moral line, no pause button. While Drake was busy explaining why he wasn’t what Kendrick accused him of, Kendrick never explained anything he just kept disrespecting. Ak recalls the whole battle. 😂💀

🚨 Akademiks GOES OFF on J. Cole while responding to Wayno’s criticism of Drake Ak says hip-hop media prefers “J. Cole-ass rappers” they can pressure into moving a certain way, calling Cole “spineless,” “spineless rapper,” and saying he has “no backbone.” Ak even says he has no interest in going to a J. Cole concert, joking it would be like a “science experiment” to see what kind of “spineless” people are there. Ak says that’s exactly why he respects Drake doing the opposite: “I like when the rapper says, ‘Nah, fck n*gga, I’m not gonna do it. Fck off.’”

Akademiks asks Lil Pump about J. Cole apologizing to Kendrick Lamar and Pump calls J Cole a P*ssy. Pump says “Cole had all the smoke for me when he was 17, but folded the moment real competition showed up” “You don’t apologize in hip hop. Somebody challenged you and you backed out.” Pump calls it soft, says it exposed Cole’s character, and questions how you diss (him) a lane he doesn’t even compete in.

🎙️ DJ Akademiks Reacts to J. Cole on “7PM in Brooklyn” Clears Up “First Person Shooter” Drama 👀 Here’s breakdown of what DJ Akademiks is saying about J. Cole, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar: 🔹 “First Person Shooter” Who Wanted Kendrick First? •Akademiks says Cole is clearing up a major narrative: •❌ It was NOT Cole pushing for Kendrick •✅ It was allegedly Drake (or his team) who originally wanted Kendrick on the record •According to the breakdown: •The song may have started as a Drake x Kendrick idea •Kendrick’s side wasn’t responding or moving on it •That’s when Drake pivoted to J. Cole 👉 This flips the narrative fans have been running with. 🔹 Akademiks: “Half Truths, Not Lies” 🤔 •Akademiks doesn’t call Cole a liar, but says: •He’s speaking in “half-truths” •Cole likely knew Kendrick was in the mix early on •Key point: •Cole mentioning Drake + Kendrick together suggests 👉 he had some awareness of the original plan 🔹 Drake’s Mindset at the Time 🧠 •If Drake was still trying to work with Kendrick in 2023: •There was no full-blown hatred yet •It may have been more about competition than beef •Akademiks take: Drake could’ve wanted Kendrick on the song just to out rap him, not avoid him. 🔹 J. Cole’s Position 🎯 •Cole says: •He received the beat by himself •There was no active 3 man version when he got it •He felt pressure to deliver for Drake and rewrote his verse multiple times 👉 Bottom line: •From Cole’s POV, it was always him + Drake when it got to him. 🔹 Dreamville Fest Context 🎤 •Another “half truth” Akademiks points out: •Drake was always planned to perform at Dreamville Fest •He backed out to avoid putting Cole in a tough public position 🔹 Schoolboy Q Rumor = FALSE ❌ •Akademiks shuts down the rumor involving ScHoolboy Q: •Claims Q “warned” Cole are completely made up •Origin traced back to internet/blog speculation (not Q himself) 🔥 Bigger Takeaway •There’s a mix of: •Half-truths •Misinterpretations •Flat-out rumors •But the key shift in the story: 👉 Drake may have wanted Kendrick FIRST… not Cole 💭 Final Thought This adds a new layer to the whole situation: •Drake → open to collaborating (even competitively) •Kendrick → possibly moving differently behind the scenes •Cole → caught in the middle of narratives he didn’t fully control
