Is it a wrap for DJ Akademiks? Desus and Mero on his neck now

[dennis roadman]

I'm in tears. Being stuck on Twitch being more lucrative than being on in the TV industry

YouTube revenue is GONE. Joe left because Complex wasn't paying enough and yet they think that adds up to his less famous sidekick caking

You got man in here dying on that hill too

Jay Blac has to edit swear words on his channel just to see some monetary value and it’s been 3 years since any battler bragged about views. You literally just have to be an arsonal stan to know this, no education needed

Yet they are stagnant right now. Their aren’t rising like Ak. They are at their current level and chilling.

Yet they arent rising at the moment

Ak is currently rising as we speak.

How? You keep saying shyt with no proof. How is Ak rising when he just lost his co-host and dudes are Downvoting the shyt out of ES. In what way would Desus and Mero, who have several platforms, years of experience, currently writing a book, and getting interviews with Fallon and Colbert, would use Ak for any come-up. That shyt just sounds stupid. Ak is a hip-hop dude for kids. That's it. Desus and Mero don't need a niche, because they already have a grasp on the 18-34 demographic and aren't just hip hop dudes.

Those 3 videos don’t even add up to 300k views

That's like over 50 million tv viewers combined easily

Yes AK has a bigger following on youtube & the internet but them dudes will be tv personalities & have big social media following for the foreseeable future

AK will become a foreseeable time in the past

Nah DJ AK comes across as a natural and likable figure, these guys however...

 

[JayStarwind]

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.

I may have missed it but what have they said about Ak? I've only heard them mention him once, which was months ago.

YouTube been dead ever since Frozenberg 3-0'd views in the Bigg K battle

 

[loyola llothta]

Complex/VICE is so white and synthetic. So are these jesters. I don't fukk with them. AK came out the mud....


@desusnice: Heat check

Fuking goofy ass nikkas.

 

[Turbulent]

What did Charlemagne say?

Something about not isolating. AK said char gave him advice seeming to imply to stay cool

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

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.

Netflix ain't the direct spotlight? Ak, is that you?

Even going with the premise of him "rising", your whole argument of them trying to use him to come up when they're clearly ahead of him is flawed. Just stop

Besides the Vic Mensa interview, only the segment where the Migos incident happened. They’re clowned Joe more than Ak if we’re gonna be honest

Cuz Ak still has ties to Joe and has hype surrounding him.

The people hate complex not Ak so Ak can easily partner with Joe on another platform and shine even more.

 

[loyola llothta]

LOL how have people heard of Ak who and not desus and mero and know he posted here and all but damn.

Maybe because its the technology age.

 

[JayStarwind]

Question

What makes Ak and D&M corny? I have my answer but id like to know what folks think is "corny".

This complex situation is currently more focused on than those guys Netflix moves.

Ak is on fire and you haven’t disproved that

You also haven’t showed proof that they aren’t using him via beef to get more shine either

 

[BO BARON]

AK & his stans sassy as fukk
