DJ Akademiks Questions The Strength Of Kendrick Lamar's Diss Against Him While Debating Joe Budden
DJ Akademiks reacted to Kendrick Lamar mentioning him on his Drake diss track, "6:16 in LA," during a recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast. As the group listened to the song, Lamar rapped: "Yeah, somebody's lyin', I can see the vibes on Ak' / Even he lookin' compromised, let's peel the layers back." It resulted in everybody turning their heads to the livestreamer.
"Don't look at me when that sh*t comes on," DJ Akademiks joked. "Right before that line, I felt like the first half- because even when I was playing it off his Instagram, I played it like two minutes after he uploaded it, I was like, 'This isn't getting at Drake.' It felt like it was something older that was already cooked up and right at that line, when he says something about the carcass and industry, even the vocal tone changes, and it feels like, 'Now, I'm getting to the sh*t I wanna get to.'"

"The fact you have to look it up makes it MORE fire. Bc it does what hip hop has ALWAYS done throughout history. Teach inform and acknowledge," one user wrote. Another countered: "Kendrick got idiots thinking they're intellectuals listening to him."
