RUclips recommended really doing its thing 💀
Lmao fr. The timing of this is insane
hahahah
This aged very very well.
Came to say this ^
Indeed.
The “Akademiks is the worst” take is not as worth arguing as much as it’s worth agreeing
hi tnk i'm your biggest fan
honestly, so few of the comments in the let’s argue videos are actual hot takes that i forgot that was the whole point of the segment. It’s cold take after cold take
right
I’m anti akademiks but the worst thing in music is EASILY promoting gun violence
ok thenerdykid
Erykah Badu telling Akademics he looks exactly like Jerry from Tom and Jerry was hilarious. Thats all I think about when I hear about him.
Is jer y the rat
Fr though. He looks like Jerry the Mouse 😂
@@Vikdeb25502 Absolutely hilarious, we were all wondering who she was referring to lol and she said the damn mouse!
@@youtubeyoutubeyoutube9961 now whenever I see his face I think about Jerry. Lmao. Erykah killed it.
Another great one is when Vic Mensa straight up calls him a bitch and Akademiks says "in what sense"
Akademick has to be the easiest person to make fun off, Dude is clueless
of*

@@nodical802 thank you
Well this aged pretty good
Frr😂😅😅
One of my favorite things about the Kendrick Drake beef was watching the amount of distress that DJ akademics was in
DJ Akademiks is the type to get intimidated by a Woman that has a deeper voice than him.
😂😂😂 I know exatly what you talking bout

BIG AK IN DA HOUSE - IM DA PRIZE!
for some, the internet is the worst thing that happened for them... people who publicly humiliate themselves on camera/stream... HELLO
@@doom1509 bro that was the corniest shit I’ve ever heard, he tried to sound like he was so hard
@@daniellaradiaz5476She cooked his ass with that comeback💀💀💀
I want an actual Melonfest where artists handpicked by Melon perform songs off their highest AND lowest rated records.
Yes!
i want half of it to be cory feldman’s “angelic 2 the core”
Kendrick performs the entirety of TPAB, then Anthony says "TRANSITION" and Chance comes out to perform The Big Day.
And of course we need a performance from Cal Chuchesta.
Brockhampton play their first record and then their last record
My new favorite thing is Anthony hating doing Let's Argue. It makes each episode much more interesting because he hates us
he got a REAL hot take at the end though. he thanked the user and said he loved them :)
He loves his kids so much that he's disappointed by all the idiotic hot takes... and also it reminds him, because God made the kids in his (melon's) image... maybe it was Satan... I can never remember that part of the story
This aged so fkn well!!!
Agreed. Melonfest 2070 was a vibe.
The Pusha take is what happens when you don't pay attention
That take was insane I've never heard Push get that kinda hate
Drake fan. 100%
@@erdnasiul87 easily
YO WOOOOORDDDDD UP
Drake Stan's hot take about a guy who's had a near 3-decade long career points to only time of relevancy was when he bodied the Stan's demigod.. bitter much?
Akademiks got a weird case, why is he around?

"DJ Akademiks is the worst" is a take colder than an iceberg in a restaurant freezer that's been placed in a freezer in the middle of the coldest January in history.

Akademiks a cornball lmao he gets drunk on twitch men just tip him
@@mahamedjmal2536 Hamsterdemiks is more cringe than funny, he's only funny to kids.
@@TheSinatra Unintentionally hilarious, maybe.
Coming back to this a year later after Akademiks was accused of SA
Saying that about Pusha while naming the artists he was ghost writing for and then claiming he’s the one “riding coattails” is f’ing CLASSIC! 😂
The defense of Push was based. That was the most L take I’ve ever seen
FR
How so?
Facts, I was screaming Clipse when he was reading the tweet off lmao
Yeah if you don’t like Pusha T you’re automatically a virgin and not cool, he’s so underground and only takes W’s. I also especially hate Drake. That pop artist is so uncool man
@@etkbruze5526 If you even have to ask then you just got awful opinions lmao
The algorithm is crazy for recommending this vid to me
As a hard rocker back in the 1980s, I can say the Guns N Roses initial success (which took about a year to kick in, btw) was due to being perceived as slightly more serious, gritty and harder than your average sunset strip glam metal band. Their sound was less slick and bubblegum scented than say, Poison, and felt more in line with 70s era Aerosmith - 70s rock in general was starting seep back in (see The Cult "Electric", Jane's Addiction, Danzig 1, Soundgarden, etc.), so it was perfect timing. From there, their lasting appeal is down to clever pop metal songwriting.
nav dissing Akademiks is the best thing he ever did
Besides releasing all of his incredible flawless perfect music
Nope was dumb on his part. Nav and AK kool.

But was it ? Why apologize then ? LOL

Aged like fine wine.
I need at least 60 minutes of Melonfest, I unironically rewound this video four times
In 5 minutes?
@@theonewhogotaway6384 Like, the first bit. Not the whole thing :p
i rewound it and made my husband watch it, the editor popped tf off today
Cal was getting down
Waiting for the ringlight reflection to fit perfectly into the Iris of Anthony's eye is like the DVD logo hitting a corner
Be careful about editing yourself into prison like that, Anthony. That’s where all the AJR records are kept.
As someone who knows nothing about AJR aside from the fact that a lot of people either love or hate them, I’d like to ask if you (or anyone) would be open to explaining the joke.
@@Straw_Breaker they made the worlds smallest violin song i can't fuck with them
@@Straw_Breaker there is no joke. Majority of people in these spaces think they suck REALLY bad and make fun of them for it lol
@@Shloonk no that much I understand; it was mostly the prison part I was confused over.
On Fantano’s zero out of ten tier list, there’s a part of the video where he edits AJR’s discography into a prison cell
And now he has an active case for rape, sexual assault and defamation
I'd buy a 3 day pass to Melonfest
This man really put out two let's argues in 3 days
As he should
i am grateful
confrontational melon
That brotha starving
Lawyer fees isn't cheap 😭
It's so obvious when someone has no knowledge of music history prior to 2015. How can you say Pusha T was carried through his whole career and not even list HALF of his career?
😆 Fr... Less than half!
He's been among the top 10 active rappers for 20 years. It's a Drake-stan projecting the fact his Aubrey demi-god has been carried all his career onto the guy who _slaughtered_ him in a beef, to the point there was no response!
@Jimmy1982*Playlists His sales don't prove that. The coke rappers been played out. He only has his Stan's
Reminds me of a bro I met who was raving about Charli XCX but had no idea who GRACE JONES was?!! F***ing idiot
just got suggested this lmao, good job RUclips algorithm
Me too. The algorithm is healing
The person that said Pusha T has been carried for his entire career definitely has no idea that he was 1/2 of Clipse
And in which..Malice was the better rapper lol
@Torrin Gooley I know that's a hot take on here but heads really did fuck with Malice more, Push didn't really become his own until the mid to late 2010s.
this video aged well
Came here to say this
The editing in this video is super dynamic and fun I love the new style. It’s almost hard to go back to the simpler style of the Let’s Argue
Recently my mom told me how she was friends with Pusha-T in middle school and even went to karate with him. Kinda blew my mind.
was he selling drugs alongside this or just doing karate?
is pusha ur pops
😆 That's cool! My sister went to jr high & high school with Snoop Dogg in Long Beach and her husband grew up with Tech N9ne in KC, MO.
Counterpoint: Akademics gave us the "my top 5 is drake, drake, drake..."
His contribution to comedy is legit
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄🤦♂️ _Fr?!?_ I can't stand dude so I would've never heard him say that, unless it was when Joe Budden was schooling him on Complex... The fact anyone can say that with a straight face, with no sign of shame or embarrassment, says a MEGA-TON about them and about American culture & the culture of _"mainstream"_ HipHop.
Saying that when there are so many true MCs, not just mainstream, but particularly in the underground, is just _astonishing!_ Pusha-T, himself, is infinitely better, and a real candidate for the GOAT conversation.
I told Ak fans, being unintentionally hilarious is not the same as being funny lol
4:23 as an artist who tried discovery mode out on a song while its still in beta, i saw an immediate increase in streams which kept rising and is currently at 10x the daily plays compared to before I opted in, went from 1k to 10k a day on that song, and my monthly listening shot up from about 35k to 76k in 2.5 weeks. A good thing about it is you can opt in on specific songs so its not like they are locking you into the deal once you use it. Another thing is that they are only taking royalties from plays in the geographical areas where discovery mode is in effect, so all in all I think its a good feature at this moment but its heavy usage when it is fully released will probably water down the effect eventually making it obsolete, or even worse it will be a requirement if you want to be heard the same way you were before.
Update: went from 76k to 82k monthly listeners yesterday, biggest jump yet
2nd update: song is still improving on numbers with the highest being 20k in a day and im about to reach 200k monthly listeners
Another thing I forgot to add, due to the algorithmic nature of discovery mode, with the sudden increase in traffic on my song, the quality of my listeners has gone down, less people are returning to the music and my streams/listener went from around 4.5 to 2.5
i was thinking of doing that as well & trying it out. that’s all super useful information, thank u!
when akademick went on fresh & fit he passed the point of no return
Like fine wine.
Part 2 would be CRAZY!
if pusha got carried through all his beefs. why is his track record SO good with them
🎯🎯🎯💯🙏
Wikipedia considers TVU&N a collaborative album but people generally don't because she only sings on 4 of the 11 songs (1 of which being background vocals), didn't write on it, and was mostly just on it at the behest of Andy Warhol. It's collaborative in that they're both on it, but not in that they worked on it together, she was a late add-on to an already finished batch of songs.
Hey Antony, thanks for the entertainment. I know you don’t do as many let’s argue videos because most of the takes you get are garbage but I gotta say it’s one of my favorite segments you do. Keep the grind going and have a good night.
Who tf hates Sade????
You already know Akademiks is going to do a drunk stream after he sees this.
Definately Fantano should get prepared!!
He spazzed and it was hilarious
@@marvelprince He already did it?😂
@@Ria-sd2ex yeah during this stream when he was talking about 69 beating he went off on a tangent bout Anthony. Knew something had to have driven that
@@marvelprince Lol, I gotta see that.
Finally we get to talk about the elephant in the room (Akademiks)
Elephant is generous
Elephants are majestic, awesome animals. AK is a pile of flaming garbage.
Chubby Mouse
We don't need to resort to fatshaming to make fun of him, thats just petty. His content is right there.
*fat chipmunk
What makes Guns N Roses so famous is their post-debut era. Whilst the debut carries the most famous songs, Sweet Child O Mine, Welcome to the Jungle and more (and is their best album) it is their stardom during the late 80s as a cultural movement that makes them so famous. Plus, as a now more subtle and mature listener who used to love GNR as a kid, their melodic songs (Civil War, November Rain) still hit like a fucking train when ur ready for them. Idk, dumb band, but one a lot of people cherish for what it meant for them growing up. (Kind of like a hard rock Elton John)
Where were people when the extended November Rain music video was released?! That song and video are still great.
Also Axl was a maniac frontman who felt like a throwback to the dangerous era of rock, and people loved it.
@@iamuhura 🤦♂️man, oh man... that kinda music was not my thing at the time (I grew up mostly on HipHop and alt-rock), and I've never been a big fan of GnR, but that song & video is _undeniable!_
Yes, it's got some laughably corny, pompous rock video cliche going on, but that song - and Slash's final solo - is one of the best musical moments of the 20th Century, imho. Has the ability to bring me to the verge of tears.
In fact, I'm gonna go watch it right now! 😁✌🔥
Regardless of what you think of Pusha’s solo catalog, that take is what you get when you’ve never heard a second of Clipse.
You don’t have to hate Akademiks just because he enjoys Drakes cookie recipe more than you
Look at his chipmunk cheeks bro, Ak enjoys EVERY cookie recipe more than most
He does absolutely love gobbling Drake's cookies😶
@@Ria-sd2ex 😆 No doubt...
If you feel useless then just remember, akademiks still has a following.
These intros keep getting better
Melon is a genre defying into creator
I don’t understand how someone couldn’t like Sade. That’s it.
Fr... some artists are just undeniable.
Yet some deny them - seemingly just to be contrarian.
Yeah that's crazy. Gotta be a silly individual.
These past few episodes of Let's Argue are killing it, love the editing and humor
Holy shit, this is a year old? I got recommended this and I thought it was brand new.
Ak is even worse than you say.
I love when bands release the demos. Sometimes the stripped down versions are fire.
beach fossils clash the truth comes to mind
shinsei kamattechan's demos and self-made music videos instantly comes to mind
Superfood - Superfood (demo)
the demo version of the mother we share is my preferred version
I can’t imagine anyone outright hating sade wtf
Think about it. If you’re a terminally online forever alone who’s never even been kissed and probably never will be how on earth could you get jiggy to Sade? Her music would probably feel like white noise to a person like that. Like they can’t relate to any aspect of it and probably just want to rock out to some cringe ass neck beard-y death metal shit instead
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 yeah dude , I’m sure woman are just dying to touch you .
Aged so well
...and here we are today. 😮
This aged well
YOU GAVE ME THE KISS OF LIFE (absolutely fire)
Ah yes, academics is hard but worth it! Melon loves knowledge
Cleaning those glasses while talking about Akademiks was a power move
Bro stepping on needles with this one 😭😭can’t wait to see how this beef goes
This is going to be good 😂
@@fadethechannel i already know AK is going to make a 30 minute rant about this and put melon on his hit list from a one minute opinion lol
@@worldview3182 & aks fans gon dickride the whole way😭
@@worldview3182 talking about it now
Fantano has been throwing subliminals and straight up parodying AK ever since the Freddie Gibbs VS Akademiks beef.
AK also knows that he’s considered a clown so he’ll prolly do a stream drunk off henny to spew incoherent insults.
And then we will all laugh at him and wait for the cycle to repeat.
I could watch footage of MelonFest 2070 for ten hours straight
Aged like wine
46 more years until melonfest
Because of the Akademiks take we need a new “Let’s Agree” ASAP
The editing on this episode was superb
I like when Anthony eats Italian food. I really feel the culture.
deluxe versions are like 12 regular songs, 5 demos, 4 radio mixes, and maybe 3 actual unreleased songs that could possibly get on a regular rotation
Show me one deluxe with 5 demo songs. I literally can't think of a single deluxe album with ONE demo. Though I'm sure there are deluxe versions with demos who has 5?
Marillion's clutching at straws has 4 demos. Yes's Going For The One has these "rehearsals" which are basically demos. Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness is full to the tits with demos that i cant imagine anyone having any real interest in. RATM's s/t has the whole album all over again as a demo for their 20th anniversary deluxe. It might depend on genre tho cause i was looking through my albums and hip hop artists tend to be way more generous with actual songs
What deluxes are you listening to
Nvm i was thinking of hiphop albums but you talking older albims
On the spotify deal - it definitely has a significant effect on exposing your music to more listeners, spotify can 100% snap their fingers and send you attention. It's especially beneficial for periods where artists aren't consistently releasing as it keeps music circulating in the algorithm (justifying the royalty cut because you would be getting less streams anyways, w/o releasing in todays landscape). I still think it's somewhat exploitive, but it's also just Spotify supplying the demand for exposure.
I actually disagree on your take about bonus tracks. I think that sometimes it's not necessarily that They Are Not good songs But Maybe they do not fit the theme of the rest of the album and were good songs that the artist still wanted to release in some way
Hell yeah. Especially now that B-sides are less and less of a thing. I can think of plenty of examples of bonus tracks, outtakes, b-sides, etc being some of my favorite songs in an artist's discography
DJ Akademiks is the Keemstar of hip-hop
Man I got news for you
Can we get the Lil Pump 2 NOT GOOD review already?
The man who said pusha T was carried his entire career needs to be sent to twitter jail
This aged like fine wine
Akademics is not the worst, he's just nonfactor in hip-hop and should stay that way.
He's a non-factor... _AND_ he's the worst!
The fact anyone even takes Drake seriously - especially now, when there are so many _true_ MCs in the game - is ridiculous.
People just worship celebrity and massive wealth.
The "Welcome to the JUNGLE BABY!!!" edits were fantastically hilarious
The energy from the lets argue this time around got me feeling all kinds of good chaotic
The new high quality clouds in the background of the intro are a nice touch, Anthony
So well known its not worth arguing
"I AM THE TABLE" is the best lyric of all time
We just got 16 whole seconds of MelonPop, I love it here
Love watching these while eating breakfast
Fantano teasing us the new Cal chuchesta project I can't wait
Honestly hearing Starfox64 music in a Fantano Video is something I never expected to hear and also made me feel happy existential dread for some reason.
Algorithm is on point today 😂
@0:32 with the StarFox 64 menu-option music, blessed 🙏👌
Great video! Watched it all 👍
Great comment! read it all 👍
Dj akademiks has developed an inflated ego. He's more aggressive but its a weird aggression that only extends on the internet...and I'm pretty sure he's aware of those parameters
"You remind me of someone...."
- Erykah Badu
Akademiks is a grown ass man saying "I'm the prize" and meat riding drake💀
Here in 2024 when Kendrick washed drake…
The smart way for Spotify to sell exposure would be to improve the algorithm and only apply the improvements to the artists who paid, but keep the number of recommendations the same. I.e. you as the listener will see the same things you see now except a few of those recommendations will be way more relevant for you. And if every artist bought in every recommendation would be gold, and overall people might listen to more music I guess. Plus random promotions like with the RUclips algorithm to show off how artists can get crazy boosts in popularity from data science payola.
Akademiks close the fridge with his hips
Something bad always happens when Akademiks comes out of his basement
Anthony, please tell me where you got that hoodie. Literally the best thing I’ve ever seen a RUclipsr wear.

i keep rewatching this just for the first segment, entire melonfest vid when?
