Budden made a great point about street nikkas getting laughed at in this era. The hipsters and the nerds run things now.

Meek Mill losing the battle a Drake is an example.

Budden actually is an expert on that. Joe's rise was based on his ability to navigate the new terrain and not the old one when he was on def jam in the early 2000s.

to those getting at ak, imagine if he wasnt there and all the focus was on joe. when it comes to what current and trending today theres alot he doesnt know about or hasnt heard. i cant be the only one who sees this.

There would clearly be another person speaking in aks seat though

I'm a "Hip Hop purist" in many ways but I don't care that Ak didn't remember Nas portraying his self in Crucifixion part of the Hate Me Now video in the late 90s. Ak was born in 1991.

And I am really not concerned that he didn't know about the Youngstas. He was literally an infant when they were out.

Most importantly the core demographic for the show is 90s babies and younger. Those older days are irrelevant to them in every sense.

I can give you the Youngstas but the Hate Me Now point is ridiculous. Maybe not knowing the reaction. Further that is just terrible logic for a show about music. No one looks at young ESPN personalities and excuses them for not studying up when discussing Brady versus Montana. Y'all treating this shyt like a middle school project.

Only in Hip Hop are people allowed to have a career discussing something they don't know the history of.

It depends.

I don't mock Meek for being from the street I just think he's lame, emotional, feminine, and disloyal. I think Beans is street and like him way more.

I have tried to watch some Everyday Struggle segments but god damn they yell so much. I may just be :flabbynsick: but that shyt gets too intense/fake angry for the subject matter and it's off putting.

Man there are nikkas all over the internet who could replace that nikka stop it

Knowing whats popping now isn't a skill, googling numbers isn't a skill, that's all Ak brings to the show
