Rising where? If it weren't for me posting on the coli, I wouldn't know dude, straight up, he does not end up in my rounds on the net. D&M came outta no where to me too, but since the first time I heard of them on the Lebatard show, I've seen and heard of them in multiple places.

The crazy thing is that in the ES/Migos piece, Joe Budden got roasted too (Mero called it Struggle Show). That was months ago and they clowned everything. I don’t even recall them talking about Ak on their podcast

lol ak gets more viewers on his internet show than they get on tv
everyday struggle is more talked about mainstreat than them in a shorter amount of time
them nikkas cant compete with ak by themselves much less with joe

Past few months they've announced deals with Netflix and ESPN, how are they stagnant?
Cuz they aren’t in the direct spotlight.

Like Jay is still making big moves but doesn’t mean that the new rappers aren’t rising and on fire.

Desus and Mero have a much more positive influence on the culture than Akademiks.

However, I'm 26 and probably tilt more towards Desus and Mero's target demo than AK at this point.
Ak probably has a little niche carved out so I won't front on that. I will say that both lurk the Coli. Lol. Desus made a Lipstick Alley and Larry Holmes references recently.


Desus used to post on SOHH, AHH, and Okayplayer. He stay dropping wild references.

Their entire gimmick is acting SOHH nikkas

wasn't really funny - I rock w/ Desus and Mero though. Props to Ak for speaking up - they have been talking kinda crazy about him, and they had Vic Mensa up there and let him spit his bullshyt.

Talked about mainstream? The hell are y'all talking about. Someone just posted these dudes on Fallon and other late night, they're on espn they have a much further reach. Maybe ak is cool to male hip hop fans 16-25, but I could not drop his name in my circle and expect people to know him, I can discuss D&M cuz more people know them.

I’m familiar with them and what they do. They talk shyt and joke , but you can tell they was in they feels :manny:
I think Mero’s initial issue was with Complex because they lacked foresight on how these internet shows would do. Ak being a herb just made it easier to clown them, but they clowned Joe too and they fukk with him. They ripped ESPN and they do business with them. They shytted on MTV’s programming and they used to be on it. They don’t hold back. Ak just felt a type of way because that internet show he loved that they laughed at is on borrowed time. The irony is that Viceland woulda been a nice spot to show something like Everyday Struggle because they’re lax on swearing
