nikedonYeah thats where this s*** became 10x more nasty than it was (it was already kinda nasty begore tho)
At some point that channel became so f***ing huge that it wasnt sk digging everywhere to get a story anymore, it was niggas doing wild stupid s*** to get a hit video on that channel
Yes lmfao, they would even mention his name on their videos too
May 9, 2020·2 repliesDurag JesusYes, some of them were doing f*** s*** just to appear on his channel
Also he was giving bad light to the scene
yeah Its f***ed up but I really discovered Fredo through constantly hearing about him off war in chiraq
OPMay 9, 2020nikedonI dont think Keef was helped by Ak like that early on but a lot of the niggas in that scene 100% were
Niggas like Fredo Santana, G Herbo, Durk, Reese, etc. were helped in a lot of ways by Ak career wise
I think Herbo and Keef even out right said that he was a big factor for their scene growth
But at the end of the day he was being an a****** and a coon in that s*** so no points for him l’there lol
True but it was a combination of things

Yeah that nigga is a complete lame tbh but he did a lot of things for this new era of hip hop so thats why I give him respect for that
Like his whole business strategy back then was to cover smaller more meme type artists like they were Drake or Kanye...and as niggas like Thug, Uzi, Kodak, etc. blew tf up so did he

I never thought he would get this big but hey
May 9, 2020Sixty 5donald glover put on thug before AK even was famous
this site really started listening to music in 2016
Donald glover?

Ppl will kill u for this but its true
Complex, Pitchfork, etc. didnt give niggas like Thug any light and Ak was one of the only ones reporting on him and using his f***ery to get views
Complex ran a huge piece about Thug in 2014
May 9, 2020I dont have a strong opinion on akademiks but him using thugs name to raise his audience and profile does not equate to significantly raising thugs profile. Thug was all over blogs and forums in 2014. Ak was just one of the outlets to pick him up.
- May 9, 2020
May 9, 2020All of it, he promoted him and the first interview he gave him made him known and accepted in mainstream rap
- May 9, 2020nikedon
Idk about Thug but he definitely helped xxx A LOT
100% He was the only one covering all the bullshit Young Thug was dong when he was coming up and basically irrelevant, most media probably wanted to blackball him but AK was bombarding YouTube and IG with Young Thugs every move
- May 9, 2020Durag Jesus
Akademiks was the one reporting young thug f***ery back in the day
Same with what happened in the Chicago scene
These kids don’t know nothing, AK was relevant before Young Thug and at the sane time they grew together
- May 9, 2020
Back in 2014 hip hop media was still focused on niggas like Schoolboy Q and Vince Staples until AK started curating what Young kids actually listen to mind you he was young back then too like 22-23
May 9, 2020GLOSaying hes responsible for thugs succes should be a bannable offense
Yeah ban this dude

AK is a part of the reason why the SC era was what it was. Also the Chiraq drill scene. He’s partially responsible for 69’s success.
Currently tho 69 is on a whole nother level.

quadra
Think this says enough, no?
This really is amazing
- May 9, 2020
Ak didn’t make 6ix9ine but their relationship is mutually beneficially to what they both represent
I remember Ak doing that interview with him in the diner and in general he’s the one who kinda inspired all these IG hip hop blogs so if he’s d***riding and getting hella engagement everyone else will
But with all the antics it likely would have gone up regardless
May 9, 2020Ak has built an empire off making content out of the destruction within his community. He plays a part in all this toxic s*** being successful.
