DJ Akademiks says he thinks Ye would be able to beat both Jay-Z & Drake in a Verzuz battle 👀 "He makes music that's on a different level. Like, in Verzuz, it's more than just rapping. Jay is a better rapper than Kanye West, but Jay doesn't make better music than Kanye West. I don't believe Jay ever changed music like Kanye West." "Listen, I've said this before. I rock with Drake, I love Drake, but I don't think nobody beats Ye, including Drake."

DJ Akademiks explains why he thinks it would be unwise for Kendrick Lamar to surprise drop an album on the same day Drake is dropping "ICEMAN" 👀 "I think it would be the worst decision of his life... It would only degrade Kendrick as never being greater than Drake, but just only being the person to compete with Drake. He has to get out of that." (Via VladTV)

Joe Budden tells DJ Akademiks that he sees what he’s been trying to do, putting his name in the middle of the Jay-Z and Drake situation. Budden says he’s been saying Drake should leave Jay-Z alone, and Drake’s fans were saying no, he shouldn’t. Now Joe Budden has switched up, and Akademiks is asking him why he suddenly wants Drake to battle Jay-Z. He also says a Jay-Z vs. Drake battle isn’t the same as Kendrick vs. Game, because Game is from the West Coast. That battle could turn dangerous given West Coast gang dynamics and the history between those two, while a Jay-Z vs. Drake battle would just be a battle, with no real-world stakes attached.

THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE WITH A BRAIN HAS BEEN SAYING! Kendrick & Drake have disliked each other for years. Why would Jay need Dot to undermine Drake? “I’m JAY-Z. With all respect to him but I’m HOV”
