Akademiks: What does it mean to last? Joe: *gives 20 min explanation of the definition* Akademiks: But what does it mean to last? Joe: *talks about the history of every hip-hop artist and the longevity their albums* Akademiks: But what does it mean to last? Joe: *reads entire holy bible and explains the meaning of life* Akademiks: But Joe, what does it mean TO LAST?

Joe has to slap Akademiks and make it look it sexy

Akademiks... Kendrick isn't giving you your political views. He's giving you his own.

Dj Akademicks has a hard job... He is the defender of low complexity music.

Joe gonna swing on akedemiks one show

"I don't want to hear sociopolitical stuff from rappers" this is what's wrong with the industry today.

Y'all really skipping XXX? It was a pretty powerful and good track

Akedemiks is wack, TPAB was one of the most amazing rap albums ever made. I still go back to that album today if I want to sit down and listen to some deep shit.

Joe was too nice to akademics

Akademiks literally has the worst opinions

tf? XXX. is one of the standout tracks in the album and they just shit on it for the U2 feature that wasn't even that prominent, and added something chill to the song too.

Man... how can you say XXX w/U2 was a Wack song? The lyrical content is incredibly meaningful and moving.

Buddens look when Akademics asked, " Am I a slave nigga?" lol.

Am I the only nigga who plays TPAB atleast once a month and have been since its release in 2015.

"WHICH MEANS ITS FUCKING LOW IN QUALITY" HAD ME FUCKIN DEAD

The way Joe looked when Ak said “am I a slave?” Lmao

Wtf I loved XXX it's one of my favorite tracks on the album

Why Akademiks look like an anime KZfaqr turned rap critic 😂

Academiks doesn't want to hear Kendrick rap about that "pro-black militant" stuff... but all his favorite rappers mumble over trap beats? IGNORANT

Holy fuck this kid. I listen to TPAB all the time. Every track, even the interludes, is replayable to all hell.

akademiks look like an emoji

I feel like Joe Budden is angry 22 hours of the day and pissed the other 2.

DJ Akadmiks is an aggressive blinker

ok so didnt akademiks say he didnt like eminem because he had no mature content, and here he says he doesnt like kendrick rapping about politics or social issues...like...bruh....make up your mind

I'm not claiming DJ Akademiks as a part of our generation...he's on his own.

Kendrick: Maybe I'm a dreamer bc sleep is the cousin of death. Stuck in the scheme of wonderin' when imma rest Drake: I DONT TAKE NAPS

Thumbs up if you still Bumping DAMN. 5 months later

Joe was spot on. DAMN is a very thought provoking album. From content to production... classic project.

Joe budden take the w

I aways come back to TPAB... its a TIMELESS CLASSIC

coming back to this after everything that’s happened is hilarious

anyone seeing this after Kendrick beat drake and had 4 number 1 records within 2 months?

If you skip XXX you're not gonna get the bigger picture silly

Akademiks Has No Taste In Music If Believes That " To Pimp A Butterfly Has No Replay Value"

"Which means it's fucking low in quality!" 😂😭 Joe too real.

Joe budden foreseeing the whole beef is crazy

I was still bumping tpab up until damn 😂😂

Akademiks just proves how out of depth he is when it comes to Hiphop talk and culture.

Shit I bumped To Pimp a butterfly for months there was so much depth in that album it wasn't funny. This nigga DJ Akademiks makes shallow ass observations to be doing commentary on rap. Every album has a few bangers. People don't make albums anymore Kendrick makes albums and they bang.

this was made in april im writing this in 2018 the album is still relevant

I feel like I'm the only one who loved kendricks untitled unmastered an still listens to it

So I am I the only one who bumped alright, king kunta, the blacker the berry forever. Also listen to the whole album every so often. Listen to view 3 times and stop listening to drake all together. I'm not the only one

"People that dress like you compare Pac and Kendrick"😂😂

5 months later DAMN. is still the best album this year

Listen to DAMN. All the way through. Then play it from the last song to the beginning. Duality. Kendrick really the greatest.

The fact Akademics said he doesn't want to hear "negro spirituals" on a rap album shows he doesn't know music. It's more than rap music it's a art. Kendrick the only one to step out the box and do what the fuck he wants.

Im just sitting over here still bumping section.80 everyday 💀

It makes me so mad that they disrespect TPAB like that man. TPAB is in my opinion the greatest album ever made not just Hip-Hop but among all music. It deserves the utmost respect.

Y'all won't listen to xxx because u2 is on the track? That's the dumbest petty shit I've ever heard in music reviews.....just wow

I'm honestly quickly losing respect for Akademiks watching these complex videos

Still listening to DAMN. The Entire album...

XXX. was one of the best tracks in the album

To say TPAB didn't have lasting power. GTFOH

FEAR is my favorite track off DAMN. Song is just so deep and dark I love it.

This was actually a perfect show

Joe Buddens opinions are the only thing that makes this show watchable.. Them other two 👎👎👎👎

I hate to hear a black man say he don't wanna hear pro black wtf

I used to hate Joe Budden because he always used to disagree with my opinions but I see that he actually uses facts and numbers to back up his points.

It’s 2020 and I still bump to section 80

I ain't seen this episode yet But every episode I watch I like akademiks less and like Joe more. Joe knows what he's saying and akademiks either dickrides or hates on quality stuff. Joe keeps it straight and almost all the time I agree with him

'DAMN' was a great return for Kendrick to a more mainstream sound. It falls short of his last two as a project (UNDERSTANDABLE) but it's one of his most eclectic pieces and features some of the most interesting music he's made. 'Lust', 'Element', etc etc

Am I the only one that thinks the album cover for "DAMN." is a sequel for the cover of TPAB. What I think is that he was leading a group of people shown in front of TPAB, BUT because of his outspoken ways, there were killed, taken out, whatever. Notice how he looks tired, wary, yet determined. That's because he's back for revenge. Also notice is "The Heart Pt. 4" he says- "The five foot giant woke up out of his sleep." He's ready to go back to war with rap now (and certain rappers *coughbigseancough*), and that's why he's looking like this, ready to get his group back and create havoc. I also think this is another reason why he is going to drop another project, or at least a group of songs released in the future in rapid succession. Bet if he does drop another album however, it will be with a lot of people, signifying the success of rebuilding his army. Or maybe I'm just tripping and this album cover is just an album cover....

I'm really glad that Joe Buttons is in the show he comes from an era where lyrics and bars and substance and messages mattered on a hip hop album and storytelling so I love the fact that Joe Buttons in this show please leave this show on is one of my favorites thank you from👇 👉👑👈 Freedom

2 years later still bumping TPAB and DAMN........ DAILY

Even Obama is saying that Kendrick is better than Drake. Get over it man.

GET DJ AKADEMIKS OUT THIS SHOW! HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.

I was listening to TPAB just about everyday the year it came out

The U2 track is fire.Kendrick spits, bono has 2 lines lol. Track is dope

Everybody skipped the track with U2 but then came back around and realized it was fire.

Wtf I still listen to TPAB daily to this day. Replay value? Akademiks does not speak for all millennials, just the wack ones.

Nigga what?! TPAB was AMAZING!!! & XXX is one of the best songs on the album.

Im gonna be honest, Damn is my favourite kendrick project

Dosent akademiks trash kendrick on twitch all the time?

DJ Akademics always says stupid things but tries to sound intelligent just like most people that really don't understand what hip hop used to be. Honestly I feel like if you don't have the heart to listen to hip hop from the 1980s, 1990s and the 2000s, your entire worldview of hip hop music is drastically thrown off. I'm only 25 years old and I recognize right away that the music from past generations is miles ahead of the stuff coming out now. TPAB and all of Kendrick's music is continuing the basic bar set for hip hop music decades ago so it amazes me just how much it flies over people's heads. I mean damn. Joe Budden shatted on him the entire debate.

....lack of replay value and 3 months later it's the top selling album if 2017

Funny how this album is still relevant in 2021... King Kendrick will strike again!!!

I wish Joe Budden swung at DJ Drakademiks 8:16 lmao I was crying when he yelled at him.

XXX is a fucking amazing song.

I swear that last "what does it mean to last" question had me dead 💀💀😂😂😂😂

i miss this show man

I had never heard DJ Akademiks speak before this, and I never want to hear him speak again. That shit was stupid. How is Joe the sensible nigga in the conversation? Is this really how the 25 and under crowd thinks?

I can already see the djvlad headline 'joe Budden calls future garbage'

This album still being played on the radio in 2018

Almost 5 years later DAMN is still being listened to and being played still by a lot of people

XXX is probably my 3rd favorite song on the album. If you don't like the song you probably haven't heard past 1:19. He goes hard in that song.

Akademiks opinion on Tpab is so shallow.

He said 2 months, it's been 3 and Kdot just went double platinum. You tried

TPAB UNTITLED UNMASTERED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love how this show is exactly how kids and grown ups discuss in the youtube comments. I don't understand why people want akademiks out, it gives us the view from both worlds

akademiks dresscode changed from justin bieber to 40 year old white dad real quick 😭😭

I'm still listening to Damn and it's July.

"lack of replay value for the whole album" yeah, 4 months later and it's back on #1 on billboard. foh akademiks

Kendrick and U2 track was LITTTT

XXX was one of the best songs.

So you guys didn't like XXX? One of the best songs on there imo, LOYALTY is mediocre for me too

They Tripping xxx is like the 4th or 5th best song from the album

Akademiks needs some Academics.

Not his best album but still 9/10. Will inevitably be Album of the Year.

I still listen to the whole album to this day and I know I’m not alone

Still listening to DAMN
