🚨 Akademiks says Drake’s post-battle run is working because he DIDN’T listen to hip-hop media’s advice Ak argues the music on Drake’s recent projects isn’t suddenly “night and day” better he believes what changed most is the narrative around Drake and people becoming more willing to accept the music again. He says if ICEMAN dropped two months after the battle, people would’ve called it trash regardless. “The ones who said ‘take a break,’ he didn’t listen to you. The ones who said he needs self-reflection and needs to grow, he didn’t listen to you neither.” “Drake is having this moment because he ignored the critiques.”

🚨 Akademiks says Charlamagne “gaslit” him during their sit down Ak claims Charlamagne made him look irrational by dismissing what he believes Drake has been dealing with behind the scenes, arguing now isn’t the time for Drake to do interviews because every public response gets turned into a new narrative. He also revealed he recently filmed content with Drake that felt “almost like an interview,” but says the two agreed it probably won’t be released right now while ICEMAN continues its rollout.

Charlamagne says Drake needs to stop trying to "circle the block" when it comes to Kendrick Lamar: "Ain't no circling the block. Just go ahead and make your records for the club. Make your records for the ladies. Like, keep it moving. Nobody want to see you circle the block. You lost." "He's still Drake. But you lost a rap battle. That's it. Keep it moving. The only person that made this situation worse after the fact was you." (via The Brilliant Idiots)

Akademiks openly admitted he controls the rap narrative not Drake 🚨 Ak fired back at critics claiming Drake “doesn’t need him,” Ak says if he flipped on Drake during the Kendrick battle, the fight would’ve been way uglier and that being the biggest media voice backing you matters more than people admit. “Drake doesn’t need me to sell albums… but don’t be stupid enough to think having the biggest media nigga on your side doesn’t help.” And This is why Ak believes he can really step on Lil Baby.

🚨 Akademiks says Drake could OUT-RAP Jay-Z in a battle and STILL lose because Hov would “beat him with Blackness” Ak believes a Drake/Jay battle wouldn’t ultimately be judged on bars, but on culture, identity and who represents hip-hop more. “Drake could rap like his life depended on it, they’re still gonna say you lost.” Ak still calls Drake a “gladiator” who ducks nobody joking, “If Pac wanted it from the grave, he’d give it to that him” But he says if Jay’s rumored album drops within the next 10–15 weeks, Hov should make the first direct move then Drake is on the clock.

Joe Budden Speaking on J. Cole & Drake: “Drake lost the battle, got therapy, stepped away… now the world is anxious to hear his music. You idiots are trying to ruin a good moment.” He added: “I didn’t like J. Cole’s rollout. The ICE sculpture was straight performance art.” Important to Note: Budden initially hated the ICE Man rollout, just like he first loved Cole’s.

🚨 DJ Hed says his biggest critique of ICEMAN isn’t Drake speaking on what happened… it’s Drake taking too much of a victim angle after actively inviting that energy DJ Hed argues Drake pushed the battle forward multiple times & escalated it… so to then act shocked by how far things went doesn’t fully land for him “You can’t invite that energy into your life… then be offended by the repercussions.” (via Effective Immediately w/ Gina Views)

🚨 Ray Daniels says Drake had nothing to gain from the Kendrick battle. On the Rory & Mal podcast, Ray calls Drake the “ultimate cheat code” artist who can make any type of music, saying that ability frustrated many of his peers and led them to constantly bait him. Ray also says Drake’s dominance and the fact he could move across genres and markets made him a target. “The only person alive that could beat Drake in a battle… is the one person he battled.” Ray adds Drake eventually took the bait and went against the one opponent he probably shouldn’t have.

🚨 Wayno says “ain’t nobody that rap scared of Drake” anymore after the Kendrick battle. Wayno argues that while Drake explained his side well on ICEMAN, elite rappers no longer fear having to go bar-for-bar with him: “Nobody who would compete with Drake on some rapping shit fears his pen as far as having a battle with him.” He also says Drake’s 20v1 was still corny for an artist at his level, adding that even Future wouldn’t do something like that.
