I'm not talking money, I am talking about the fact this guy tried to say THEY were the one looking to come up
They're using him to get on because they're already pretty established but they're not oblivious to Akademiks following and the looks it generates.

This is already the about to be most popular clip from their show in at least the last 3 months and they just posted it a few hours ago.

They were on Complex wayyyyyyyyy before Ak, have a successful podcast, and were doing shyt for MTV 2, once again, before AK. Unlike Ak, their show is on an actual network. They do not need Ak for anything, because they are far more relevant than he is, and don't just interview rappers who are promoting something.

Granted, I think Desus and Mero are bad at interviews too, but they're far better than AK was when Nadeska and him had to take the reigns.

:mindblown: How when they were just on fukking Colbert? Has AK actually been on any major network? Interviewee or just to say what up? People don't know this guy, people know D and M. Ak is the one throwing random shade, he is the one trying to come up.

That doesn’t show that they are rising currently

Ak is hot right now and rising white they on the other hand are riding the wave that they worked hard for

They may be higher than Ak but Ak is still on a rise unlike them who are chillin at their level.

These cats get like 8-50k views man they not big time, i wouldnt stress if I was Ak

Lol.....Desus and Mero are way further along then AK.

They had a Complex show years before Every Day Struggle. Did some shyt with MTV, and have a regular show on Vice. Desus and Mero been made it

Ak probably make more money off youtube than both them combined

He just lost the reason tune into his ONLINE tv show on COMPLEX. How is he rising? Where is his next venture? He is not some hot commodity out here. I salute Ak for making a GREAT living on something I have been doing for free for close to 10-12 years, but he is not there to the point where is the one nikkas would beef off of to get hot. Your basis is so closed minded.

48 laws of power shyt. They using Ak as a pawn for their come up lol.

Edit: By come up I really mean buzz. I know they are probably more popular and had a complex show in the past but they are using this for more publicity I would think.

You underestimate how big and how much influence Akademiks has.

nikkaz really saying D&M ain’t on when we all saw the come up? :dahell:

They got hella episodes of the podcast, they’ve already done the YouTube Channel, and have a tv show; an actual show.

I’d be mad at the fat man too. Hey are really hip hop (and if you disagree you don’t listen or watch them) when Ak acts like a high schooler
