GAIGE lol

GAIGE 😆 my nigga that's the comment that had me rollin'.
lmao
AfroKenny The professionalism in his face tho
"Those are brave things to say, but I dont take you for a brave man" Vic hit this dude with some ether.
NotA Ethug deepest shit I have ever heard
Mid
Vic wears make up
@@goldengod3745 No he doesn't. He is bi-racial, still Black, and those are his natural features.
@@MrOldman09 your dumb he wears eye liner
Joe switched sides faster than KD left OKC. 😂
Joe's like the Xbox one, every week a new version comes out soon he's going to be like "Joe who? never heard of that nigga"
Kajuan Supel W 😭😭😭
Kajuan Supel lmfao ode
Kajuan Supel this must win the comment of the year damn lol 😂 😂 😂 😂
Kajuan Supel lame
Realizing 4 years later how right Vic was, Ak was literally making jokes about people that died.
The problem with that is they are also mocking each other saying things like smoking on that 'insert dead opps' pack.
@@123dan165 Fair, but as fucked up as this sounds - at least they were actually out there participating in the events rather than being in the position of someone like AK being an outsider sensationalizing, commentating on and creating nicknames for people from the comfort of his home, I think that's the difference. I've been rocking with AK since the beginning but never was a fan of the joking/mocking. Because imagine the reaction people would have toward him if come to find out he was a white man living in New Hampshire.. I'm sure we'd be having a different conversation.
@@tfromthasix1956 I understand your argument but if I think it's fair to maintain the same energy to the people participating in it as well as they are doing the acts of violence and also making a mocking of their victims. We can condemn Ak and we can also condemn those on streets as well like Nba youngboy and Lil Durk. We as a community need to stop glorifying and/or participating in such horrifying things this stuff only puts us in a negative light and is only destroying our communities. And the fact that this is now considered normal shows how much work there still needs to be done. Also their level of savagery and lack of consideration for their fellow man only encourages whether it be intentionally or not for people like Ak to make fun of their predicament.
he still is smh
I know ak had a war in chiraq series back in the day but did he really made fun of them?
This shit aged like fine wine
In what sense
Yep very relevant today
Everyday this and the Nipsey shit are prophetic
Getting better with time.
@@mcdanielvalerie0absolutely relevant to day thats crazy
Don’t waste my Camera time he wouldn’t make the joke 😂
😂😭😭😭joe aint right for that
@@AllucB facts lol
Grow the fuck up. That's his co-worker, Joe should have defended him. He tried so hard to defend Logic when Joyner Lucas had beef with him by showing Joyner a different perspective but now he can't even say a word of support to alleviate the tension between them and not let Akademiks be clowned in public TV? Why doesn't he come out with that "everybody has a job to do" speech that he gave Joyner? Not convenient for him to have that perspective now?
Joe budden the type to leave his day1 for the popular kids in school 💯
LIL PEDRO W
LIL PEDRO Real shit
LIL PEDRO lmao high school don't mean shit tho. That shit the easiest part of life my nigga
no doubt
VIC MENSA MAKES MUSIC FOR NIGGAS WHO USE A CALCULATOR ON AN ENGLISH TEST
*”You really built a following, off of clowning our deaths”*
SunDown did he do it in the way Akademiks clowns people? Don’t try to change the subject.
SunDown ok you’re obviously missing the point so this convo is over. Have a nice day
SunDown my point is about Vic getting at AK cuz he was making a bunch of jokes about real life violence and deaths to make content and gain a following. That’s it
@@TStamp-lw4ku even if vic has a point, vic is only doing it for clout. That's all he does. vic is a whole clown himself.
Ham ster ok but my comment is about Vic Mensa point. That’s it
I seriously didn't knew AK had this much "love" from his demographic, W.
Emilio nigga, 80% of the viewers for this show comes to watch akademiks.
john jon Honestly i think 90%
Andy Martinez yeah fr joe budden is a total dickwad and Nedesa dont do shit. AK all the way
yea, Ak IS the internet. he found his lane and he's dominating it.
Emilio He's corny so all the cornballs relate to him. One corny nigga wins and it's a win for all of them.
"That's a ballsy statement, not coming from a ballsy person........PAUSE!"
lol hes a good comedian whats his stage name?
jOKE Lamonds he not Akademiks know damn well if he saw any of them demons on the street he wouldn't say nothing he would probably call CPD or run the other way or bithb
jOKE Lamonds
He really had to make sure he added that tho 😂
Vic Mensa with a confederate flag on his jacket...
GuedesGamer this guy was just on some black lives matter shit now he affiliated with gangsters from Chicago lol dude is corny
ukibanter99 ikr. Sissy ass nigga lol
Fattie yells at women but is super calm with Vic.
You get no points for intimidating a youtube blogger
PumpChasers I don't think he was trying to intimidate him , u want him to murder him in front of cameras to prove himself? No , he sat down and explained the way he felt. Both DJ Akademiks and Vic had great points.
PumpChasers Joe Budden a snake for try to instigate tho man. I hate people like that fam smh
BEAST MODE !!
raul valentin he's pretty much saying that he condones killing of others and that it is a part of his culture.
Chat nigga Chris Jones officially apart of the movement #FreeAk
Joe Budden ain’t switch up, he been saying the same shit to Ak for a while
Exactly.
Nah joe usually the loudest in the room this episode he ain’t say shit or interrupt at all just let his man get blasted
@@chrispy9736 what exactly was Joe supposed to say? When a man from Chicago (Vic Mensa) is speaking on his feelings of how someone he feels is depicting the city where he’s from in a negative light (Ak), isn’t it best just to listen?
That part.
@@chrispy9736 Budden doesn’t know anything about Chicago cause he ain’t from there.
why is the confederate flag on vic mensa's jacket
Cause he's one of Kanye's puppets, he even kinda sounds like him
43MARTIN bc he's a dumbass
43MARTIN, he's young and don't know how to stick to the scripts.
He wanna flip it and bounce shit trying to be a trend setter and a new big statement maker.
--He may as well showed up in a KKK hood and robe
Legion DC nah you're reaching
SaburoThaDon Not really. It's the battle flag that supports confederates so if you wave it around or show it off you are supporting the confederates who wanted to enforce slavery.
You gotta respect AK's feminine energy here, being friendly (not fit) and knowing how to not talk back to a man of high value. He understood where a woman's place is in this interview. 👌
Nah, I think you played all of that in head.
@@dbslide you're late. Go to bed.
@@hoottasshell yeah okay
😂😂😂
This is gold
hey Vic, how can u diss ak for sensationalizing murder, when ur sed friend tray 57 made numerous videos promoting violence; and it's funny how u choose to speak up for your friend while promoting ur album, but u certainly kept quiet when he died #opportunist
Travis Bennet have ever heard drill music, all they do is make diss songs about eachother dead homies, hence why so many drill rappers are dead.
Travis Bennet no one was talking about Vic's music tho. He makes conscious rap. We were talking about tray 57 who did make trap music. Have you ever heard one of his songs? He definitely promoted violence and its more than likely why he died.
I don't get how all these chicago artist hate on ak but love Vlad? lmao
Youevenliftbrah? ...LMAO...so true!!!!
Leon Taylor vlad is low key an instigator though
exactly vlad will make you incriminate yourself on camera or at least try too. "so you were where when the shooting happened? and this happened how many years ago" trying to get you caught up.
He also only cares about the views, Remember when chief keefs cousin Big glo got killed he titled it "Big glo's Last interview" and made that one interview into 12 videos. Alot of the old heads don't fuck with vlad because they know he a punk they young artist just want the clout since he gets alot of views
another blaCC man white man thing...kiss massa massa ass but hate on the blaCC man aCtually PROMOTING THESE DUMBASSES
Joe budden is tooooooo fake .. AK needs to leave complex .he's getting me tight like wtf he's still there smh
cause that check fatter than vic mensa's neck
Another door will open for him when he leaves
Complex is paying AK more money than Joe, no need for him to leave. AK has been handling himself well without the help from Joe
It's too much negative energy around ak
Devon Marshall
That's because rappers are too fucking sensitive. If you don't love everything the rapper they invite does then they grey an attitude.
2:40 “in what sense” 😂😂😂
Lmfao
💀
That shit was funny.
Danny B 😂😂😂😂😂
I always thought he said “ uh wha- what’s that?”
joe fake af
on errythang bro
Wayne How? When has he portrayed himself as an allie to Ak??? I love that a lame like Akademiks (a keyboard warrior) has to finally confront those whom he's used over the years to attract attention, build a following & create monetary gain. Never will I knock the hustle, but a bitch is a bitch & needs to be dealt with accordingly
You get no thug points for being disrespectful to the youtube guy
KoJo Khalif tell RUclips guy watch his mouth.
KoJo Khalif Honeslty whoooo giveeeee a fuck bout thug points im pressing who ever i feeel like pressing anybody and everybody
Markscream15 your pops isn't going make it home tonight tell your siblings ill be taking over
Markscream15 weird ass nigga gtf
+Edward Brown chill out nigga its the internet
Akademiks from me to you...1.1 Million. 1.1 MILLION. You're NOT appreciated by these people. Not ONE of them came to your defense. Leave. Leave now bro. You're above ALL of this. On a completely different note...glad you listened to CThaGod and Schulz. You look a lot more confortable.
Racentour I wish there was a repost
He was on their podcast.
who gives a shit about their deaths. If these losers stop shooting each other than no one has to die.
Who else is here after hearing him say "Big AK is here! Big AK is in the building! We don't take no disrespect lightly!" on Fresh and Fit? Looks like "Big AK" took disrespect pretty lightly here from Vic, in fact he bent over and took disrespect again and again.
With no vaseline.
Only thing was Vic wasn’t really being disrespectful in the wrong way or in a way AK didn’t deserve
I love to see it
ak please leave the show complex are just damaging you.
He probably under contract
Rayne Banks #FACTS
Akademiks still alive, or did catch the Draco in the parking lot?
Vic mensa aint doin shit. AK would put that nigga to sleep
Long Live└A
Nah. Vic seem like he been in some fights
Blank Face ak really hitting the gym now 😂
Long Live└A mane a AK-47 would put anyone to sleep
Long Live└A yeah cuz you would do something, you the biggest internet thug in HISTORY. Corn.
Dj Akademiks please leave this show . Go to a company that respects you and your talent . Your upside is huge and it's clear to all of us watching you . The moment you leave this show it will be dead. Can't stand Joe budden , no loyalty at all. You don't even seem happy there .. come on bro move on don't hold back on the money they giving you now . Way more opportunities to come your way !
Kyle KyleSwae FACTS!
Kyle KyleSwae Charlemagne told you akademiks but everybody said he was hating joe budden is a bitch
Kyle KyleSwae Joe is fake asf for that
Kyle KyleSwae FACTS
Kyle KyleSwae yesss
And this dude really out here trying to challenge Freddie Gibbs
Akademiks is just a culture vulture, like DJ Vlad. He shouldnt be allowed to speak on issues and try to instigate shit that doesnt involve him.
@@eyecontrol4900 culture vulture.... thats good lol
@@Ayushmanz Everybody can be apart of the culture but when you start using it for profit while disrespecting it, continuesly causing problems and taking parts of it without giving respect to it's origin then you're a vulture.
Vic Mensa homie Tray57 was dissing multiple dead people before he got smoked but he won't talk about that smh
RIP LA CAPONE ...good point
-Limitless- hack the world 💯
RIP LA CAPONE he mad that Ak was reporting and "clowning". 👀 but he never said he lied. what you mad about if ak telling the truth about the life you willing to live
Picmanreborn exactly bruh, I agree that some of the shit AK is corny but Tray57 was dissing dead people and talking all type of mad shit on twitter smh
when did tray57 become his homie that nigga ain't in save money you lying ass nigga.
Ak straight told budden to shut up 😂😂
Daniel Juarez Budden is a bitch, I lost all the respect I had for him.
Biggy Bwana fr he switched up real quick
Daniel Juarez he's looking at both perspectives watch the whole thing and watch the video after it Joe said he will smack one of these niggas if they come at ak or nadeska a certain way
beast boi which video
Yonko Malik the full video for this and the full video after it
"and things get heated" Ak kept his cool though
DJDR3AM1 why is Lil fizz Goin in on akademiks
Lol just because a person gains a huge following over the internet, doesn't mean shit. Stop being a sheep and live your own life kid.
look at akademiks reaCtion...he ain't even FLINCH!!! he just kept speaking as if ViC gave him a Compliment😂😂😂 viC YOU NOT A THREAT!!!!!!
Joe budden another soft fake ass tough guy
Posta Da King bro there in a safe environment you reading this all wrong
yall come listen to me rap
Joe Budden the type of guy to always want help in a fight but never give help in someone else's fight
J Jones he'd throw akademics a stick
Ak literally asked for it tho lmao
Frank The Bunny seem more like joe would take the stick.
Joe Seem Like Someone Who Ask For Help To You?
na Joe the nigga looking at his white homie saying racial shit in front of black people and when he get fucked up goes "yep.... you deserved that"
I understand him getting upset about his dead friend
but joe is lame for putting in his two cents all the time against AK.
SHOTTY joe didn't say nun cuz the dude Vic had a very valid point bra SIMPLE AS THAT
tonell Miller no he didn't 😂
no, joe didn't say nothing cuz he thinks AK isa goofy nigga and he was trying to earn brownie points with vic and he even dick rode him at the end saying he was "articulate", even though he took long ass pauses and cursed in every sentence. And i laughed so hard when the chick said "smart kid" like damn nigga, this broad think you just a boy.
Joe budden recognizes a real nigga when he sees one and he is smart enough to understand Vic's valid points which most of you aren't. BUt he did lowkey like add salt to the wounds ahhahahaha
5:04 Joe isn;t dissing AK if anything he helped in that situation cause Vic was confronting him and trying to make AK look like a pussy, which was happening since AK started stuttering, but Joe diffuses the situation and tells vic to basically calm the fuck down. Vic then turns and talks to Joe
Why does Vic have a confederate flag on his jacket??
Vic mensa cannot call akademics a bitch when he wears makeup LMAO
The internet makes you tough, huh?
Clint Jefferson nigga who are you?
AK still a bitch. He was making fun of Chicago violence. He was profiting and getting attention for that. It's disrespectful
Oscar Jimenez shut the fuck up
For everybody saying Vic's a bitch or that Joe should've spoke up for AK, you wrong.
What Vic is saying is 100% real. I'm from the burbs of chicago so I'm not even involved in the Chiraq or drill scene at all, but when I saw the video AK made about Tray 57, I got pissed off about it too. AK being from Jamaica and moving to NY, nowhere even near Chi, and making videos of himself acting like he knows the reasons behind the killings in Chiraq is bogus as fuck. As Vic said, it's like he makes fan-fiction about a scene he doesn't know anything about and tries to get people to follow him on it.
It's like if your best friend were to get shot dead and I was to make a video from the other side of the country acting like I know all the facts behind it and telling people in your neighborhood that they need to just "learn" to stop fucking with the person who killed your best friend.
Vic ain't butthurt, he's putting AK in his place, and if AK would understand what Vic's saying and simply agree or apologize or some shit, then Vic wouldn't have even gone on about it as long as he did. AK kept pushing the topic cause he's too salty to admit that he was wrong about making those videos.
Joe was smart for not stepping in. Joe knew AK fucked up with those videos and decided to leave it up to AK to realize his mistakes while talking to Vic without straightup piping up and siding with Vic. And if Joe did verbally side with Vic, y'all probably woulda been calling him even more of a bitch, so it was in his best interest to just keep quiet.
If y'all can't understand the message behind this video or even this comment then idk what to tell you, but these are real ass people dying every fucking day which the media constantly tries to make stories about acting like they know everything going on in the streets, and that's exactly what AK is doing.
Unless the person covering these stories is currently fully involved in a gang or some kind of street hustle in chicago, I don't wanna hear them talking about these deaths like they know shit about them.
Me too, I worked in gang intervention for a while, it nothing to fucking joke about regardless of who you are or where your are from. Moreover, those from Cook County don't take well to outside opinions.
Yeah man I'm from the ATL which is bad but I will never speak on Chicago cause I've never experienced it. Chicago is some next level shit. And I wish nothing but peace in chicago
Antisjwbaby Baby lol are you dumb? Freedom of speech and did nothing wrong are two different things.
Finally, someone with a brain.
@@289rory Those moments when you almost lose hope in RUclips comments and therefore humanity, then you find a reasonable and we'll thought out comment just in time
anyone know where he lookin at??
Synergy Knight far up his own ass I believe
Synergy Knight up his ass around the corner
Nadeska got that hair laid bwoi 👀 lol
Vic Mensa look like a fool. Akademics go solo. Don't need complex
Freeasec He still is solo
Freeasec he been solo, let him eat
i dont watch Everyday Struggle but everytime i do either joe budden always be talking shit or someone be clowning on akademics come up. this shit is on blast too
You inside ass wouldn’t understand 1 ounce of what Vic saying stay inside FOOL
This aged like milk
Akademics got clowned. Straight up😴
Akademiks should have said "I got more subscribers on RUclips than you got album sales"
Jack Doff petty comment is petty.
Jack Doff you gotta drop an album to have album sales
oh shit LMAO that's good
Jack Doff well shit...akademiks might as well have stood up and knocked him out after saying that.. then upload the video of him knocking Vic out to his war in chiraq channel
Jack Doff he only dropped two eps and a mixtape
No one will put hands on Akademiks because he would ruin your career if he beat your ass. Nigga ain't small. That's who slept me.
ZZZTentacion this the most underrated comment on the whole video
ZZZTentacion you win RUclips bro lol
lmao "thats who slept me"
😂😂😂
ZZZTentacion people really act like they know AK can't fight. Like damn why yall profiling him. 😂😂
why he wearing a confederate flag tho ?
SwaggyKay I think Vic is copying Kanye West or just wearing a Kanye West jacket. Vic understands by wearing the confederate flag he's repurposing the hate imagery as his own indivdual style and at the same time joining the latest trend. Kanye West popularized twisting the meaning of the confederate flag from a symbol of hateful-fueled, Rebel pride to artistic liberal expression. Kind of genius, because imagine one day how pissed off white bigots will get when their ractist symbol loses its association to Rebel pride and the general public thinks it's just hiphop fashion, not hate or even southern pride.
I like this answer, very articulate.
Ive never heard some bullshit like this. Im from Germany, let me rock a swastika on a jacket to show what cool rebel I am, I'll get arrested very fast.
I know, doesn't change what I mean
this a dumb ass reply, y'all so quick to call every celeb a genius for doing some extra shit. confederate flag was the flag of the south that supported slavery, period. vic wearing it while complaining about young black men is the dumbest thing I've seen all week
Whose here in 2020 actually realizing that Vic Mensa was right & actually articulated his point very well lol
2021
He isn't all the way correct these Chicago goons need to help themselves, dissing dead opps, having a scoreboard like system treating things like a video game or a sport is only encouraging people like ak to go and make those types of vids.
@@123dan165 What does that have to do with Vic Mensa's pain? You dudes present these futile idealistic arguments and think that they actually hold water in the real world.
@@123dan165 I mean they have all the right if they opps killed their homie or family members.
2022
Joe pulled a KD
larry ship thats suppose to be his guy
When has akademiks ever clowned someone's death? Does he even watch the videos?
Goosy_J How long have you been watching him? In the old videos he did do a little clowning, but now he doesn't do any.
Ak clowns the shooters and their lifestyle. Not once has he ever clowned a homie that died in the gunfire.
I binged watched his shit from oldest and newest about 4 months ago and not once did he laugh or insult someone that died, even if they deserved it.
The video vic was talking about was in 2014 i linked it earlier
Complex did a chess move convincing Akademiks to go on this show. They get to use him to build up their brand while Akademiks' brand gets damaged. Honestly he needs to use this moment to end his contract.
flubsurfer lol why yall hate complex so much
Why don't you hate complex?
They are a bunch of cunts, always have been.
flubsurfer exaccccctly big ole facts. I hope he rises above what they throw at him.
His brand looks like it’s strong to this day
"You would get chased out the mall DJ Akademics." - Vic Mensa

Sit down grandpa goddamn XD

Joe Budden or Kevin Durant whose the biggest 🐍....?
kevin durant #fuckkd #sellout
jaylin hudson budden
Just lost a ton of respect for Joe.. he should have calmed that situation down but instead he low key hyping the shit up!
Hotboi Geezy he is Mr pump it up what you expect
Drew lol!
Joe is a very insecure and immature man. He's young minded for his age. You can tell by how he kisses his guest's ass during whole segments and how he always tries to discredit Ak points of views instead of creating his own.
+Un1Verse thx
AK needs to leave E.S honestly ppl dont understand i troll this nigga 24/7 but i only watch this for him, fck all this nigggas
Lol today Akademiks be talking soo greasy behind his computer why didn’t he talk like that in his face?? I KNO HE COULDN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT AFTER THIS!
I want him to go in stream and rewatch this 😂😭 i just wanna see how his new self try to justify what happened and why he aint get on vic mensa ass since he act so bad now
Confederate Flag on the jacket tho?
Bakari McAllister 41 don't forget the tea party one one his left wrist. Makes me wonder if this guy is going for shock value or just ignorant
i think when black people do it they're trying to take away the negative connotation of the flag. kinda like the N word.
Uncle Bernard kinda but its like a punk thing to do.. Ever heard of afropunk? Honestly i think its distasteful
he has a gg allin patch on his jacket also lol. that along with the confederate flag & tea party ones, he might as well join the klan
+Chill Bill nah i don't know too much about it tbh
Point is don't kill each other trying to be cool gangsters & you won't get roasted online.
Fax!!
Vic Mensa ain't even hard 😂😂😂😂🤦♂️
Jojo Pedraza so you have to be a rapper to be "hard".......Small minded people🙄
Russell Westbrook Hard to be a rapper, I got u bro
Russell Westbrook its because he tries to act like it.
I never said nothing about having to be a rapper 😂 he's just not hard. He doesn't have no clout 😂 he pressed a fucking RUclipsr for giving his opinions on things
jit looks like the hood weekend 😂😂
"In what sense" lmfaoooii.
LMAOOOOO
Im from the City and I rock with Ak. I don't even mess with Mensa. A lot of people in Chicago don't even mess with mensa. I cant mess with a dude who have the devil on his jacket.
youngl1on nigga shut up
Vic: "I was waiting to see you."
...but you're sitting in front of him now and you're not doing shit but talking shit, sooo...
Vic is more worried about DK Ak's satirical commentary than he is about the actual deaths that are happening. If he doesn't think it's funny that his friends are dying then his friends should care enough to not kill each other.
4 real i tought he was gonna deck him right there!!
Tomika Kelly nah, Vic is actually worried about the violence, I'm actually in Chicago lived here for 21 years...Vic is actually out here in the protests and I think he's a P stone
Tomika Kelly He said he "was" waiting for him lol
>protesting
>gangmember
Wtf is he protesting. He's part of the problem oh wait hes part of those sjw trying to blame everything on guns and white.
Ak really lowkey pressed that nigga by bringing the topic up. Ak gone fade that nigga outside.
Complex morally bankrupt for setting up akademiks , to get "good footage" and more views . I'm sorry but I can't support an entity like that . Complex needs to do a lot of rebranding to clear their name out .
akademiks asked the question he knew what was coming
DaCrolla expect these comments to be deleted by tommorow morning lol . Complex against free speech
Matt T AK set himself up not even his co-hosts knew they had a situation... don't blame Complex he asked the Qsn n that's what he got hahaa
This situation was high key on AK he back pedal to ask about some shit that is personal to him.
He fucked his own self. Sit down.
BIG AK IS HERE NOW 😂
Joe Budden fake af lmao
Adam Tesfaye how?? He doesn't have to defend another grown ass man about statements that man has said..
Joe is obligated to defend Dj Ak
Timothy Gumbell joe ain't obligated to do shyt
Oops I was meant to add a question mark. I was trying to be sarcastic. WHY THE HELL WOULD JOE HAVE TO DEFEND DJ AK. They ain't friends
@vanessaramirez Oops I was meant to add a question mark. I was trying to be sarcastic. WHY THE HELL WOULD JOE HAVE TO DEFEND DJ AK. They ain't friends
YO AKADEMIKS... YOU ARE BIGGER THAN THIS SHOW. Imagine Joe and Nadeska with anybody else.. there wouldnt be a show. Akademiks makes this show. DO YOUR THING BRO
TRUE WORDS MAN , AK BETTER TAKE THIS ADVICE
this did not age well after joe left
This aged horribly
@@1937Mk 😂😂😂
Damn joe you need to have your coworkers back man very disappointing Joe
Qua Willis what y'all expect Joe found a reason to get mad at AK even when it's just him no guest at least once every show lol y'all think it's an act when in actuality MAYBE...just maybe he REALLY don't fuck wit AK
I don't even know why Joe is still around collecting checks,he's the shit stain of hip hop's golden age. "pump,pump,pump It up."
Bruuuhhhhh.. Vic got that Ghanaian chill anger shit. Heated AF but keeping his cool and just speaking without mincing his words
his dictation is cutting deep... AK felt that shit. I hope Vic has a prosperous future!
"WOULD U MAKE A JOKE."
"He wouldn't make the joke."
who tf is Vince menstrual?
I didn't know who he was till today 😂
ryan hines A dope ass artist. Better than 21, Kodak & the rest of them goofy ass niggas lol
lmao dumb hard
Vic & Wale share the same corny gene
One hit wonder lookin ass and shit
Logic
Emily Oberg LMFAO that a good one
Check and mate
Does anyone actually listen to what vics saying? Joe Budden kinda agreed because hes from the street too and he gets what vics saying
Nigga don't get no points for pulling up on CTG or DJ Ack.
but they wanna talk shit 24/7. gtfoh
Never heard DJ Ack condone or commend the violence in Chicago. I really lost respect for this dude, who ever he is.
I'm not mad at Joe for not backing AK up because AK is a grown ass man. He is almost 30, he should be able to hold his own. However, Joe should have never chimed in with Vic Mensa. That was corny and foul, and that showed his character.
Joy Blalock you got more balls than everybody in these comments. Men have confrontations. GROWN Men.... it gets heated but everybody says they opinion it is what it is. Everybody "lost a ton of respect for Joe" everyone so sensitive and soft now a days.
@HeffPaso but Vic Mensa is a bitch too. The mans voice was trembling 🙄🙄, how you go to check someone without looking at them and while your voice is shaking. You can tell he wasn't about it.
Joy Blalock I agree with everything you said expect when you commented on Joe. He wanted AK to understand how he was wrong by criticizing something he's not involved. He's not taking Vic side, it's about being right. Real Friends chime in when their friends are doing something wrong. I think it shows he has great character and he wants to help his friend.
True.
Clementae Taylor stfu isis wasnt bombing where u stay at but i know for a fact tht u spoke about those attacks
vic mensa look like that one lesbian aunt that won't come out but we all know that she's gay. lmaoooo
Had to come back to this video after watching Ak get so turnt with a women on fresh and fit podcast for being “disrespectful” but then let another say he would slap him
Let's be real if DJ AKADEMIKS never spoke about war in chiraq we wouldn't know half the people in the drill scene to be honest.
stacey jones that's true
Exactlt
What happens in Chicago stays in Chicago. Whatever savages do is none of our business. If you really knew about Chicago is that drill songs aren't songs or music. They're messages to the opps. Who the fuck told DJ to make videos about them??? Stay in your lane boy
IVIoNsTeRz DeMo They put music out talking about being a savage.. They out that music to get clout. So that "what happens in Chicago stays in Chicago" is b.s.
IVIoNsTeRz DeMo faxts💯💯
i can see akademiks is taking in all the advice charlamagne been giving him....he's been conducting himself way better since the first episode
b00st3d BMW well except for the physical advice he told act to get right with his physique
Johnathan russell what physical advice did he gave him? personnaly the way AK is always moving his hands annoys me
That he shouldnt have thick thighs on camera
b00st3d BMW relax he been working on it
he's looking skinnier to me... I think he's been working out.
I'll be the FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE "VIC MENSA IS A BITCH COMMITTEE" Join this movement and lets go!!!
kenneth henderson I'm joining
Vic still a bitch and Wale still corny. I wonder who's next
Matt Underwood say it again for those in the back that might not of heard you!!!!!
I support this movement 👍🏽
lil boaty thank you sir!!!!
vic mensa it's from a middle-class neighborhood in Chicago the same neighborhood that Obama lived in his father is a college professor he went to a charter school yet is on here trying to give an impression that he came from the Chicago hoods
Jay Jay just about everyone is middle class in Chicago FYI, I'm not justifying that you are wrong or anything.
jayk47 Naw its everywhere y'all! Idek why they been saying Chicago all these years we got gang violence bad Illinois is terrible itself the state and fyi shootings happen everywhere ppl always trying to rob ppl so they had to be on guard all they life ak know he clowned us he only got y'all fans fooled some of his stories was inaccurate af
Jay Jay I’m from humbolt Park , I grew up in the 80’s ! The neighborhood where Mensa is from is better than where I grew up but don’t think for a second that you still can walk around safely in his hood that’s truth ! You want to stay safe stay to downtown or the Gold Coast
Jay Jay You talking like violence isn’t everywhere in Chicago, dudes just don’t stop by a neighborhood and be like “Oh this is a neighborhood we can’t shoot at or sell drugs in because it’s a little bit nicer than other neighborhoods.” Nah, that’s not how it works. Idk if you’re wrong or not but it doesn’t really matter, Chicago is just Chicago.
Illinois all fuckked up #RockkfordsFinest
joe fake af
he take an L for not having ak back
He been fake he switched sides when shit got real
nigga was trying to dick ride vic and was laughing when ak was responding. Budden is the corniest dude out of all 3 of them.
QUEX fr budden needs to get the fuck off youtube
i was pretty disappointed in joe. if not defend at least shut up
vault19 for real
Joe is corny as fuck for egging this on and not trying to diffuse the situation. He's a company man and will never say anything bad vs anyone from tde or roc nation
Regillio Wolff he did joke about it though
Ak should have egged on that Troy Ave situation and Joe getting in his feelings because Troy ran up in Cyn.
I highly dislike this character called Vic Mensa
iTimeWaste don't let that stop you from listing to his music
Jeremiah Dunn Trash, he has potential though
iTimeWaste Let it be known that my personal opinion on the Chicago-based hip-hop artist known popularly as Vic Mensa indicates a strong distaste for homo sapiens that are deemed as corny
Where was that "BIG AK IS HERE" energy? He's the prize, after all.
Joe should of had his back. ak has always said he isn't on that g shit and is reporting the news.
Patrick Pcolka making fun of someone's friend who got killed in Chicago isn't reporting and why would joe defend him? they are both grown men and when did he defend joe when people misunderstood the conversation about being happy he had with yachty?
Charles Khoilan I really don't know what ak does on his chiraq channels. I always thought the dead he talked about where goon rappers talking tough in there videos. if that's not the case and he is talking about innocent life's being lost, your right he is not reporting anything.
Patrick Pcolka the tupac movie is getting them nigga ish
Patrick Pcolka JOJO WASNT A GOON
Vic Mensa killed his own career because of shit like this he is completely unprofessional he has good points but he kills them by being prideful and a wanna be thug.
DJ Akadmiks Dog but vic was saying straight facts tho
Joe should've taken Ak side. He left his partner out there to fend for himself .
Joe said he doesn't have an issue with him being pressed but won't let anyone touch him.
STAK i swear that nigga always does that when the show has a guest smh.. he be like one of the homies who change who they really are when other ones are around smh
Why would he take Aks side when Ak is in the wrong?
Nah bruh, Akademiks is grown. he has to stand on that and when u look at Vic mensas perspective, he's right on
STAK Vic was right though tf
Anyone Who says Joe Budden Is Fake Won't Tell Their Friend they're Wrong When they're Wrong. Akedemiks Was Tryna Play victim And Talking around the situation Instead of facing It
stupid comment bro
@@bighaley6882 it's true so many of y'all niggas only agreed with Ak because it's Ak. Wrong is Wrong
Big Haley you’re stoopid kid
Nah the situation is gonna happen no matter what, it was reporting, if your mad at Ak be mad at the same people that glorify this life
I will now provide the best opinion.
Vic Mensa has a right to call out DJ Akademiks. He however, looked really stupid doing it. The murders in Chicago, are over petty issues most of the time. Imagine your friend, taking your phone charger and not giving it back on time, then you shoot him. Petty, no? If someone wants to capitalise on stupidity, then let them. If you do not want Akademiks to make money, then stop killing each other over issues that do not matter.
Joe Budden has a vendetta against Akademiks and is slowly plotting to destroy his brand and name, collecting people who do not like him and going against him. It's business, but it's also sad.
Behind the smokes and mirrors, I think that Vic did this to gain publicity, notice how he was not looking at Akademiks while he was talking to him, he was constantly looking around to see if the other co-hosts were agreeing with his point of view. It was sad to look at.
People that are saying Complex did not script it. I will not insult your intelligence, by believing that you actually believe that. They are sprinkling in guests that do not like Akademiks In the slightest, skewing our image of him. By the end of the show, you have probably seen every guest that does not like Akademiks.
Once his image, Brand and reputability have been tarnished, then Complex may well just fire him or keep him as a pawn.
Akademiks, I am neutral when I say this. Leave complex and work on building your brand yourself, with each show your reputation is slowly being chipped at.
PoppyMusic L
first comment that actually makes sense lol
this fucking real #saveakademiks
How are you going to compare the murders in Chicago to stealing a phone charger? People are getting killed as revenge for previous murders that are way deeper than rap, theres nothing petty about having to see the person who killed your family member/friend/brother walk around free.
Joe Budden has no problem with Akademiks they are friends and hes helping build his brand by mentioning him on his platforms feeding him knowledge of the industry that ak doesnt have. Also, Joe has nothing to do with the guests that come on the show
Vic isnt looking at Ak while hes talking to him because he made an entire seemingly satirical youtube channel about a war that vic himself is heavily involved in from his house. How would you feel if you have friends and family dying and you see videos of someone that people are telling you are making jokes about the situation and then you have to sit face to face with them.
Complex is not "sprinkling in guests" that do not like Ak, its just the fact that he has pissed off half of the rap industry with his videos so it would be very difficult to skip that many people. It would be like if the head of TMZ did a show like this but they couldnt interview people they did a bad story about. And if you believe that this show is attempting to defame Ak than you probably have a problem formulating your own opinions.
PoppyMusic gr8 novel. i rate it a 6/10
Ak stand up for your self foo...this dont look too good in front of your girl nadeska. *joe voice * you need to snuff vic 😂
Darius Bradford on god bro
Darius Bradford lol ak never claim to be a thug or some shit
Abm Jreal this what happens when you're a keyboard warrior gets confronted 💯
@Rudy you have to learn to decide your battles. What does Ak have to lose here beside his pride and making viewers delighted into seeing him strike? Standing up every word calling doesn't make you a man. Being wise and knowing your battles make you a King. You live longer and become wiser. If name calling gets you going. A person like that won't last long on this earth. Dude already said he's afraid of Chicago cat in so many of his vids. So why would he change his message to prove a point to those who don't give a hell about him?
Lol young blood didn't you just say you're not a thug and I quote" .I'm far from a thug but I haven't backed down from any other man since I was in the 6th grade!" But I guess you feel as though you get brownie points by calling me that right? The only difference is I have nothing to lose like DJ Ak understand this first. I live in Baltimore in the inner city and live to speak about it. I probably did more than your dad did his whole lifetime. You see my face young blood I have nothing to hide. So if you were on the streets and not in a setting with million of viewers watching. You wouldn't be saying that or hiding behind a comp. I have money and I can travel. So if you love to call me a bitch to my face .Just easily give me your address or a meetup spot. We can do a mall you can even bring all your goons and I'll bring my son to give you that fade. Or you can speak as a man and I'll take you more seriously. You can find me on Twitter, FaceBook, I'm here.
Bro don't nobody care about Vic Mensa no more. His wave is over and his debut album is way overdue he should've dropped when he was actually buzzin could've been right next to chance. Now he on some lowkey hype beast "ima rockstar" shit and I don't got no problem with that but this shit is just a gimmick. INNANETAPE is a classic but Vic fell off bruh
fr. only song i like after innatape is danger
ik i didnt spell it right but fuck it
Stick up for yourself ak!
Edit: im now watching this high and damn vic got facts
I’m weak 🤣
He’s butthurt AK making money off of a shit situation everybody clowns. Everybody weighs in on everything, but when money flows in than it’s a problem. Jealousy.
@@frankhernandez6524 Butthurt? He's just offended when he sees him clown his friends death. And offended that he's profiting off of joking about deaths, not by him just making a profit. He calls out Ak in particular bc he has a platform and therefore gets noticed. doesn't excuse ak bc theres other trolls online clowning a shit situation too
DJ akademiks is more relevant than everyone else in that room put together.
very true
Kevin O'Donnell not than joe
beast boi nigga what u on bath salts
Word
beast boi nope, AK is more relevant
I dont fuck with complex or akademiks, and i am a vic mensa fan, but this shit is petty. Akademiks has done more for chicago rappers than vic mensa. you're from chicago and you have a confederate flag on your jacket. you're wearing gold and silver jewelry... no more needs to be said vic mensa is just irrelevant now
Larry The Sloth exactly, a walking hypocrisy
Larry The Sloth ...couldn't have said it better
Larry The Sloth yeah he clearly is a worse parasite for black youth than DJ akademiks
Black Jesus well known fashion no no its like Mitch-matching. I only mention it because clearly this dude clearly trying to look fitted.
Ak is bigger than Complex.💯
Vic Mensa is a legend for this.
T’Challa Campbell He bitch
No he’s not. You don’t get cool points for coming at akademiks knowing the type of guy he is
@@kai-wr6yk he didn't clown he educated him on what he was corny and Joe agreed that's why he didn't side with AK
i wouldnt be afraid of a nigga that had to put on eyeliner to have confidence to look another man in the eye
29 Bricks you get cool points for speaking the truth when you're presented with the opportunity. Vic put all and the entire culture of internet losers with no life experience that trivialize real shit happening in the hood on notice that this is some clown shit. If ak isn't that type of guy he should never feel confident speaking on niggas that are that type in this way
"And Imma Tell You The Truth ... I, I, Really ... I, I, I, Really Think You a Bitch" ..... LMAO!
ak: "but in what sense?"
me:💀💀💀💀👻👻👻
Someone please tell Charlemagne to give this fool Vic donkey of the day
Vic was coming from a real place so he ain't a clown. Joe Budden chiming in and also trying to cut Akademiks off was disrespectful.
@ 5:19 The fact that Vic mensa was talking some real ish, and still managed to fit the 'Pause' in that sentence was hilarious! 😅
vic mensa look like a great value version of xxxtentacion lmaooo
MemerSchemer I didn't even know who tf this dude was before this shit lol
Comedy ScareCrow look up his only good song garretts revenge
vic has so much more good music than x who only has a few good songs put out lol
maybe but fr x is new and doesnt have shit on vic
Dick Moisterizer x can dabble into any genre he wants to. Vic is an ass rapper.
Without AK, no one would hardly know how bad Chicago violence is. The local news are done covering it and it's like AK is the only one to inform people. Vic should start making an example of good intention to dismiss the violence.. not attack someone covering it.
You giving Akademics way too much credit.
TiK Progress not too much credit, all the credit because he did an awesome job establishing the stupidity of killing people for nothing sake and opening people's eyes to realizing the degree of intervention Chicago really needs
nobody cares bro lol
Lil Flyer Vic Mensa obviously does.. nigga damn near cried trying to press AK
Scrutiny causes reformation. You have to expose and insult these criminals to get them to stop committing crime. Same logic applies for the "Hard on Thots" thing.
Three things I've learned from watching this video:
1) Vic Mensa is a goofy (as Rico Recklezz stated in "Hit Em' Up".)
2) Akademiks did a great job maintaining his composure (I'm really impressed with the level of professionalism displayed.)
3) Joe Budden came off as very disloyal. He did absolutely nothing to defuse the situation but instead attempted to add fuel to the fire.
IslandSon242 niggas that be instigators in those type of situations are the niggas you got to watch out for
they the most dangerous
Cuz joe doesn't like akademiks lmaoo 😂😂😂
joe budden still salty over ak clowning on him a while back before this show got started
Faxx
People need to talk to Ak like this in person more cause as much as Vic is disliked he wasn’t lying about anything he said
If it ain't Akademiks place then it's YOURS Vic. Man up and tell the youth of Chicago what is and isn't important. Wanna act like an activist and the face of change but haven't changed Chicago at all
nicely said he gets mad but does'nt do any shit about it
OG Whitey Johnson uhhh im pretty sure he does a lot for Chicago. listen to his music? guessing not.
indigo Rager Lol please. People like Chance, Kanye, and Common have done way more for Chicago than Vic ever will.
