DJ Akademiks Blames Meek Mill For Drake’s Loss Against Kendrick Lamar

May 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks has been a key component to the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud. Overall, Ak is someone who has been fed information by the OVO camp. He even got to premier the official version of “Push Ups” on his stream. Moreover, he was one of the first people to listen to “Family Matters” as soon as it was released. However, in the last week or so, he has had to admit defeat as Kendrick Lamar dominated the charts with “Not Like Us” and “Euphoria.” Not to mention, “Meet The Grahams” was scathing as well.

Recently, Akademiks was on the Full Send Podcast where he gave his take on the feud and what went wrong. Interestingly enough, he blames all of this on Meek Mill. Although there is a reason behind this madness. As he explains, Drake came into his feuds against Pusha T and Kendrick with a feeling of overconfidence. In Ak’s eyes, that confidence only exists because of how Meek fumbled his beef with Drake. At the time, Meek was a battle rapper while Drake was still that kid from Degrassi. Consequently, Drake was the underdog. Since Drizzy came through with the win, he became extremely confident, and that confidence has now come back to bite him.

DJ Akademiks Speaks

This is essentially the thesis that Akademiks lays out. Additionally, he goes on to say that had Meek Mill left the ghostwriter accusations for a diss record, he would have won the beef. Instead, he hastily took to Twitter and lost. Throughout the clip, Akademiks also makes sure to insult Meek’s intelligence a bunch of times. Given how much Ak hates Meek, this is not a surprise in the least bit.

Let us know what you think about this hot take from DJ Akademiks, in the comments section down below. Do you believe what he is saying here is valid? Or do you believe that he is letting his hatred for Meek Mill cloud his judgement? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Azealia Banks Says Kendrick Lamar’s “D*ck Is Trash,” Labels Him The “Most Boring Rapper Ever”

May 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Azealia Banks went off on Kendrick Lamar on Instagram, Sunday night, labeling him the “most boring rapper ever.” Discussing his feud with Drake, she argued that he made no interesting points across his several diss tracks. She also brought up Rick Ross and Kanye West for feuding with the Toronto rapper.

“Kendrick’s d*ck is wild trash,” she wrote in the caption. “Everybody gotta stop acting like all the rap n****s don’t have work done. Kanye has the biggest apple bottom in hiphop history. Rick Ross (I love u) but u have horrible veneers, had a gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, AND ARE STILL SELLING ALCOHOL?!?! you could have just called me I would have fixed it for you the natural way. This is ultimately all about Kendrick’s short man short d*ck insecurities. Why call Drake a pedophile when 17 is the legal age of consent, and in many states, it’s 16!!! Why isn’t Kendrick calling about Biden whose daughter revealed that he would come into the shower with her at NINE YEARS OLD, for using his song for political promotion? Yall stupid if u think any points were made.”

It’s not the first time Banks has commented on the viral beef. Earlier this month, she shared an article from Billboard suggesting that Lamar’s track, “euphoria,” was worth the wait. In response, she remarked “No it was not!” and declared Drake the winner. “Kendrick is still 4’9″ and wears the same jean size as me,” she said. “No one on earth cares about the feelings of small fake gangsta nepo babies. @billboard y’all really are paid for. Even the tone and timber of Kendrick’s voice is an ultimate defeat. LOL STOP LYING. And that beat Kendrick is rapping on is dumb trash and the mix is muddy as hell. Quit the bulls**t. Drake won. That’s it.

Kendrick Lamar Alleged Associate Claims Drake Paid Him $150K For Information, Fans Demand Receipts

May 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s bitter feud has become a ridiculous game of he said-she said. Overall, both artists leveled some heavy accusations at one another. Drake’s team has been incredibly vocal throughout all of this, and it has led to some debunking from DJ Akademiks. Meanwhile, Kendrick and his team have stayed quiet, which makes it difficult to truly debunk the allegations he made. Strategically, Kendrick has played this perfectly. However, that hasn’t stopped some people from coming out of the woodwork to pledge their allegiance to the Compton-native.

For instance, a rapper by the name of Coolee Bravo came out over the weekend and claimed to be a close associate to Kendrick Lamar. He did a Discord interview in which he made some interesting claims about Kendrick and his strategy throughout the beef. Moreover, he alleged that Drake and his team paid him $150K for some information. Coolee then goes on to say that Whitney Alford is currently with Kendrick in New York, and that he told Drake the opposite in an attempt to fool him.

Coolee Bravo Says He Is Close To Kendrick Lamar

This is a pretty massive accusation to make, especially since Kendrick has remained quiet. In fact, fans do not believe that Coolee Bravo is telling the truth. “Yeahhhh okay, I need a wire transfer screenshot or something,” one person wrote on Twitter. “Ain’t believing nothing without an invoice,” said another. The fans aren’t too sure about the credibility of Coolee Bravo, especially since Lamar hasn’t vouched for him, in the slightest. It’s all very bizarre, and with all of these characters making themselves known, fans don’t know what to believe anymore.

Let us know what you think of these claims from Coolee Bravo, in the comments section down below. What do you make of so many people coming out of the woodwork throughout this beef? Do you think all of this has gone down too much of a corny rabbit hole? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

DJ Akademiks Refutes Kendrick Lamar Bar Stealing Claims, Calls K-Dot A “Genius”

May 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks has been a key figure in the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Overall, Akademiks has been live on stream every day since things escalated with “Euphoria” last Tuesday. It has been impressive to watch him move, especially since he got name-dropped by Kendrick on “6:16 In LA.” If any media figure has come away with the win in this beef, it has been Ak, even if he is a Drake stan. Ak has been adamant that Kendrick is winning, although he has been teasing something new from the Toronto megastar.

Last night, Kendrick Lamar found himself in the crosshairs of Drake fans. One page called King Jared found some old tweets that contain punchlines similar to those found in “Not Like Us.” This subsequently led to allegations that Lamar has been straight up stealing his bars from Twitter. While many believe these are purely coincidental, others are firm believers that this completely disqualifies Kendrick from the rap battle.

DJ Akademiks Goes Over King Jared’s Claims

In the Via link below, you can see a clip from Ak’s stream last night where he speaks on the stolen bar accusations. Ultimately, Akademiks thinks that fans need to chill out and stop looking for things that don’t exist. He admitted that Drake fans such as himself just need to admit that K-Dot is a genius and that he got one over on Drake. To claim otherwise, would simply be a bit delusional. It was an admirable stance for Akademiks to take, especially when you consider how he has a direct line to the “God’s Plan” artist.

Let us know what you think of the allegations leveled against Kendrick Lamar, in the comments section down below. Do you really believe that he was lurking through Twitter to find some bars for “Not Like Us?” Or do you think that Drake fans are just trying to find a new angle? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Lamar and Drake have been beefing since the release of Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” back in March. On the song, Lamar called out both Drake and J. Cole for mentioning him on “First Person Shooter.” In the time since, Lamar and Drake have dropped several diss tracks aimed at one another. Last weekend, the drama peaked when the two dropped “Family Matters” and “Meet The Grahams” on the same night. Through the rest of the weekend, Lamar dropped “Not Like This,” which Drake followed up with “The Heart Part 6.” On the songs, both made vile accusations about one another. The drama has remained quiet in the days since as fans have been arguing over the winner.

Kendrick Lamar & Drake’s Rap Beef Overshadows Taylor Swift On Apple Music Charts

May 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s explosive rap beef has taken over the internet in recent days, as well as the charts. The heated feud reached a peak on Friday night when Drizzy dropped “Family Matters,” accusing Kendrick of domestic violence, claiming that his fiancée might have a child with Dave Free, and more.

Less than an hour later, Kendrick fired back with “Meet The Grahams,” addressing several of Drake’s family members directly, starting with his son Adonis. Moreover, he states in the song that he thinks Drake should “die,” or at the very least, rot in prison. This took the battle up quite a few notches. Nearly everyone has picked a side in the viral debacle, though many are just happy to have gotten some new music out of it.

Kendrick’s “Not Like Us,” for example, currently sits atop Apple Music’s Top Songs chart. Coming in right below that is “Euphoria,” his initial response to Drake’s “Push Ups,” which sits at No. 9. Drake’s “Family Matters,” and Kendrick’s “Like That” collab with Future and Metro Boomin are at fourth and fifth. Clearly, hip-hop fans have been tuned in amid the back and forth, which has only grown more contentious over time. So much so that they’ve even kicked Taylor Swift out of the top five altogether. The pop icon is known to dominate the charts with nearly everything she puts out, making her pretty tough to beat. Her Tortured Poets Department song with Post Malone, “Fortnight,” now sits at No. 9.

4Batz Asks Kendrick Lamar For A Break In The Drake Feud So His OVO Debut Can Shine

May 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

4Batz jokingly asked Kendrick Lamar to take a break from dissing Drake so that his debut project for OVO, U Made Me A St4r, could have some time in the spotlight. The new signee to the imprint made the request in a post on Twitter, Saturday. He wrote: “yo @kendricklamar I just dropped my tape my n***a can I get 24hrs at least [crying laughing emojis].” Shortly afterward, he deleted the tweet from the platform, prompting fans to theorize that Drake made the call. 4Batz dropped his new album on Friday, featuring a remix of his hit song, “Act II: Date @ 8,” which now includes a verse from Drake.

He isn’t the only one upset at Kendrick dropping. His fans have also been complaining on social media. “I know the spotlight is on Kendrick & Drake rn, but this 4batz album is surprisingly really good,” one user tweeted over the weekend. Another remarked: “Kendrick doing all this to stop 4batz from gaining traction.”

Kendrick Lamar Response To Drake Is Allegedly Like 2Pac’s “Hit ‘Em Up,” Says Joe Budden Podcast Co-Host

April 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar is currently in the midst of a feud with Drake, and we all know that it has been a brutal one, to say the least. Overall, it started with the song “Like That,” where Kendrick proclaimed there is no big three. Subsequently, Drake dropped off “Push Ups.” The diss song was officially released today, and now, fans are waiting to hear from Lamar. There is this sense that he needs to drop a response, sooner rather than later. Otherwise, Drake will be able to claim victory, and that will be the end of that.

One podcast that has speaking at length about the situation is the Joe Budden Podcast. It’s been a huge topic of conversation, and there have been some theories about Kendrick and his song. According to co-host Ish, Kendrick does have something coming. In fact, the song is reportedly going to be a lot like 2Pac’s diss track towards Biggie, “Hit ‘Em Up.” Admittedly, Ish has not heard the track, but this is what he has been told by people close to the situation.

Kendrick Lamar Theories All-Around

“Some people that have heard the Kendrick track, I heard that his energy is just something that’s going to be hard for Drake to match. They said he’s coming on some Pac ‘Hit Em Up’ energy,” Ish explained. If this is true, then the hip-hop world is for quite the wild ride. However, there is a chance the song just does not exist. We will just have to wait and see what Kendrick decides to do. As we know, he isn’t with the social media games like Drizzy is.

Let us know what you think about this situation, in the comments section down below. Now that Drake has officially dropped off his response, do you think Lamar is on the clock? If he does drop, do you think he will ultimately come out the winner? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Gillie Da Kid Calls Out Kendrick Lamar & J Cole For “Corny” Diss Tracks

April 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” verse brought about a great deal of drama, but according to Gillie Da Kid, he hardly scratched the surface. When the song first dropped last month, listeners were quick to note that the Compton-born performer took shots and Drake and J Cole, and were eager to hear how they’d respond. Weeks later, J Cole fired back with a diss track on his surprise album Might Delete Later, “7 Minute Drill.” Ultimately, however, he apologized and removed the song from streaming services. Last week, Drake’s response “Push Ups” leaked, reigniting all the chatter around the feud.

During a recent episode of Shaq’s The Big Podcast, Gillie Da Kid weighed in on the debacle, arguing that Kendrick’s verse wasn’t all that wild. Moreover, he doesn’t even believe it should be considered a diss track at all. He says that in his day, Kendrick’s infamous “big three” line would be deemed “corny” at best.

Gillie Thinks Kendrick & J Cole Were Too “Friendly” In Their Diss Tracks

Gillie Da Kid calls out Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” verse and J. Cole’s “7 Minute Drill” song as not being real diss records.

Also, Gillie Da Kid uses Nas’s “Ether” song and 2Pac’s “Hit ‘Em Up” as examples of real diss records, and Wallo agrees with Gillie Da Kid that we are in… pic.twitter.com/0R1RaVZl4d

“Let’s just be honest, bro, that’s not no diss record,” he began. “If that’s a diss record, that’s corny sh*t. The last time I checked, diss records went like this: ‘First off, f*ck your b*tch and the clique you claim….’” Gillie went on to quote other iconic diss tracks, emphasizing how their lyrics were far harsher than both Kendrick and Cole’s. “What is we talking about man? Diss records used to be like, “F*ck you, buddy….’ We’re living in a friendly culture, man.”

While plenty of commenters agree with Gillie’s take, others much prefer this version of rap beef, as it’s less likely to lead to violence. What do you think of Gillie Da Kid’s take on Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole’s diss tracks? Do you agree that they were corny?
