    So Ak accidentally used the b-word, immediately retracted it and got reprimanded by rappers that used the word as an ad lib? Make it make sense.

    If you been following AK Since 2012 it’s flabbergasting how far he came! He use to run 7 channels doing 5 vids a day on each and stream on Twitch 5 hours a day. Hard work Over Luck! Hate or not his work ethic is unbeatable.

      @LovesRaines Many of You commenting on here are dumb and DO NOT LISTEN (only hear what you want to hear). AK LIED in this interview; when he initially Called old school emcees "dusty" HE WAS SAY THAT BECAUSE HE FELT THEY WERE WACK BECAUSE MANY OF THEM DIDN'T/OR DON'T HAVE NO MONEY (he tried to backpedal on that statement in this interview). 2) AFTER A LONG PAUSE HE SAID HIS CONTRIBUTION TO HIP HOP CULTURE WAS PROMOTING LIL UZI VERT, PNB ROCK, T69, AND HIGHLIGHTING DRILL MUSIC/chiraq- how is any of that positive to hiphop culture and to black people particularly????? (IT's NOT because it promotes bullshit violence and stupid behavior - prime example: ruclips.net/user/shorts-D8mqT439lg ).

      Yeah it was good non biased interviewing where the questions could’ve easily come off offensively if worded differently but instead it seemed more like he was allowing AK a chance to defend himself while CTG co signed everything his guy AK said which I think for the most part AK was 100% correct in every defense

Everybody shouldn’t aim to be a rapper that man retired his mom with being a public speaker in his own lane. What we need more of is the elders schooling the youth on how to carry the torch.

      @LovesRaines Many of You commenting on here are dumb and DO NOT LISTEN (only hear what you want to hear). AK LIED in this interview; when he initially Called old school emcees "dusty" HE WAS SAY THAT BECAUSE HE FELT THEY WERE WACK BECAUSE MANY OF THEM DIDN'T/OR DON'T HAVE NO MONEY (he tried to backpedal on that statement in this interview). 2) AFTER A LONG PAUSE HE SAID HIS CONTRIBUTION TO HIP HOP CULTURE WAS PROMOTING LIL UZI VERT, PNB ROCK, T69, AND HIGHLIGHTING DRILL MUSIC/chiraq- how is any of that positive to hiphop culture and to black people particularly????? (IT's NOT because it promotes bullshit violence and stupid behavior - prime example: ruclips.net/user/shorts-D8mqT439lg ).

    A lot of the pioneers and legends didn't make much money off of the culture because there wasn't a market for it yet, the embroytic stages of hiphop had to be tough for many artists trying to get their music played at the same time not get jerked around by these record label exectives . Not to mention people find it hard to believe, but 30 years ago many executives in those label offices and radio stations thought that hiphop would be a fad just like disco and eventually fade away.

      And there's more than one record label so you can always compare contracts and choose the better.
