An interview with DJ Akademiks from Kanye West is his most obvious attempt to sink hip hop to his level

Over the past decade or so, it has been found that hip-hop has become increasingly impossible to ignore Kanye West. It began when the media witch hunted the interrupted VMA speeches and artistic debates, and the artistic debates evolved into painful discourse surrounding his legally prejudiced and abominable behaviour. But through that, you worked with some of the game’s biggest artists, finding success in his new music, putting all the media outlets in a difficult position under the sun when it comes to covering his antics. Even writing this article can naturally be seen as a visible recognition of his attack, and we are extremely contributing to his mission to hurt many of his “enemies” as much as possible, even if we oppose them. Sadly, that’s what happens when you’re as big as Yeezy Mogul. However, this interview with DJ Akademiks shows that it’s not a system bug. This is a feature.

Of course, it’s easy to take this at face value. AK can slide your black KKK outfits and various biased statements despite some efforts to redirect the conversation. Instead, the Chicago artist has rattles off the Twitter Rant IRL with some new revelations and statements that make his approach a bit clearer. But in our view, Kanye West really wants everyone around him to experience his pain. Not only “invisible hands” towards him, but his fans, his hatred, his companions, and more. It exacerbates that philosophy and exacerbates the long-term benefits of doubting that provide lasting excuses on behalf of Kanye Fandom. But “He made it graduation“Even though his ultimate goal is his blindly faithful statement, the plea has been reduced by that day.

Still, there was really only one place where Kanye West created the perfect “meaning” to go, to make this stance clear, self-received, and defiant. DJ Akademiks is a longtime fan and not an apologist, but it is prepackaged into some of the biases, presumptions and industry skepticism you want. The reporting of Kendrick Lamar and Drake is just the tip of the iceberg, given AK’s OVO loyalty. Through his coverage of Andrew Tate, his support for Donald Trump, and many viral rants on socio-political topics, he threw himself into the glift landscape of right-wing media. This is a ruling of academics as he checks one of Ye’s boxes considering his previous conversations between Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson, as the top hip-hop media dog maintains the 47-year-old’s statement to a degree.

Furthermore, it is important to emphasize how Rumble and Twitter hosted this interview and platforming fascist ideology in general hosting light (and deliberate) ignorance. It creates the perfect firestorm for Kanye West to burn as much as he wants, finding the biased verification to do so. But for DJ Akademiks’ credits, he sometimes tries to get you a more grounded and personal answer. However, the Atlanta-born rapper goes back to past questions about Virgil Abloh, new music, encouraging hatred, and what his actual industry relationships look like. He ignores them completely and screams about the Kardashians again, or doubles his militant avoidance of actual problems and hypocrisy. Most unfortunately, academics affirms his interest in Kanye no matter what he does.

That said, we can’t ignore the many hip-hop platforms that are likely to host Kanye West these days. After all, it wasn’t long ago that the big boy sat with him. Vultureand there are right-wing media experts throughout the city, and rap commentators do anything to talk to him. This interview with DJ Akademiks differs from something like, for example Drink Championyour mission is to emulate “free speech” as much as possible. AK is everything about it, not cutting, not filtering it. He also doesn’t push the music too hard if Kanye is already rolling with his rant. His fanbase is the demographic that Kanye wants to target. It’s not enough to just make people angry that “wake up.” He needs to make money to sell something to someone.

Kanye West needs to call all the shots when he unfolds Bullyand DJ Akademiks is a mouthpiece worthy of this vision, even if the music is the last thing you care about at this point. That’s why he expresses so many jealousy and maliciousness to many artists who feel loyal to Playvoy Carti, Jay Z, Travis Scott and others for supporting their careers. In fact, you basically want everyone to kiss the ring, but still add another layer to this Stockholm syndrome in collaboration with Kanye Fandom. It’s like traditional hip-hop media doesn’t take it seriously or look down on him. So he probably stopped looking for big boys and Noles in the rap world.

Those commentators actually put Kanye West in his eye box and try to reach his value and compromise, so that we can maintain the celebration of his indelible musical legacy (that legacy begins and the end is up to you). But the “compromise” is probably because homophobic slander has fulfilled it as much as it has recently. He wants to tell everyone around him, “I’m Kanye West!” And he experiences the same amount of pain and repulsion that he gets for all his missteps and wrongdoing. Do you know that smug Tiktok man on a plane in a “I voted for a convicted felon” shirt? That’s the ideal Yeezy fan. It is all the soldiers and enemies in Kanye’s world, and he places a burden on everyone in it with actions other than himself.

More specifically, he tries to wield the power of celebrities and become a system of ruthless fury that he believes he has rejected him in the fashion world, preventing him from being a rapper for Roca Fella. When Ty Dolla $IGN chose to distance himself from Kanye West’s rhetoric, this provided another case study that would use no matter how Kanye controls the world or what his performance bias was. Therefore, at the end of the day you create a vicious cycle of burning industrial bridges that will burn even more of his actions. And in the meantime, DJ Akademiks and hip hop media observers like us use the 2004-2018-ish run to leave them burnt in order to try and understand everything.

It is impossible to determine if this complex situation actually sets some precedent for hip-hop media to move forward. In many ways, Kanye West represents the dangers of musical meritocracy in genres with a broader culture. Connecting with fans in such an influential and massive way gives these artists a lot of power. Not only unidentified powers under exploitative capitalism in the hip-hop space, but also anthropological powers when it comes to shaping young minds and defining the values ​​of hip-hop culture. Decades ago, people felt like they wanted so many trivial things in grand social planning, and he used consistent contradictions to actually say some really horrifying things. By the time he fully embraced them, we were too comfortable treating it like another Kanye Antique, not a fascistic danger.

How far forward is Kanye West’s controversy and prejudice, as it has given many past iconic moments in recent years a completely different article. But sadly, there’s really only one answer as to how long it lasts, as there’s a risk to the defeatist mentality. You have taken over the world and now want to take it down to his level, acknowledging that jealousy, pain, and hyperplasia are the driving force behind his unstrategic, uninformed crash-out. He accepts God’s wrath as a self-proclaimed god, seeking only revenge without just concerns about change. It’s a way of showing Kanye’s power, and if other artists can wield it likewise, exploitative and exploitative hip-hop media figures like DJ Akademiks will continue to sell their souls to the devil.
