Despite having a documented history of dissing Rap Queen Nicki Minaj, DJ Akademiks made headlines recently for finally “bowing down to kiss the ring” – but not without doing so at the expense of other female rappers.
No stranger for earning negative reviews for his controversial opinions, the popular Urban culture commentator expressed disappointment for the “low bar” set for femcees over the last year. An interesting position given that female Rap hit unprecedented highs in 2020.
“The popular female rappers in 2020, the bar was this low,” said Akademiks. “Truth be told, for all the male rappers, if it was on some Juwanna Man sh*t and could f*ckin’ trick the game and just have a big f*ckin’ fat ass and people think they’re a female and just wear like, a ton of lace fronts and f*ckin’ wigs and throw on a sh*t ton of lipgloss, yeah, the skill level is here.”
Later in his rant, he homed in on Minaj’s ‘Hot Girl Summer’ co-star Megan Thee Stallion by claiming the Hot Girl Coach had ‘lazy bars’ and was succesful because she was ‘a victim.’
That’s not all he said. Look inside to see just what got Stallion’s fans, affectionately called Hotties, blazing keyboards in defense of the Houston-born rapstress.
On Saweetie:
‘Saweetie is one of the people that benefits from the fact that she’s really attractive; she’s likable. She’s dating one of the hottest rappers from a rap group,” he said. Truth be told; she’s making simplistic music of what women want to hear. Do I hear tremendous talent? No.”
On Megan:
“Let’s be very clear. Meg the Stallion can’t rap with the Top 20 n*ggas. Facts!” exclaimed Ak. “Imma tell y’all the truth. So, of course, she’s like, oh, everybody loves her and sh*t like that but come on man, there’s a lot that goes into sh*t like that. She got a Fashion Nova deal, she’s a victim, she’s in GQ, she’s talking about Tory [Lanez] shot her, you know what I mean? It’s women empowerment. This is like, protect Black women. This is, ‘I got Beyoncé.’ It’s a lot of sh*t going on.”
Continuing on Meg, Akademiks said:
“I’ve heard Meg The Stallion verses that impress me and I’ve heard some of those freestyles, I love some of her freestyles,” Akademiks stated. “But the majority of the sh*t I be listening to I’m like, ‘This sh*t is really like, mid-level music that people are praising like Meg is like, mad dope.'”
“That’s just facts… Meg has one flow and lazy bars.”
On Nicki:
“Meg isn’t 100th of the talent that Nicki Minaj is,” he proclaimed. “[She] came in the game on some other sh*t” and “could stand toe-to-toe with any n*gga…”
*****
Needless to say, the statements didn’t sit well with the ‘Savage’ hitmaker’s fans. Look below to see their reaction to Akademik’s weigh-in.
He didn’t lie. Meg sucks. Her music sucks. Her image sucks. I’m tired of her tired twerk routine with her tongue out. Her flow is remedial at best. As quiet as it’s kept, people like the thought of Meg more than her actual music. Just look at her sales. Body was a huge flop. She needs big names like Beyonce and Cardi to get hits.
Exactly they thought that lil challenge was gonna help body flopped with all that press
Hmm let’s see… Meg realer, Meg ass and tits is real, Meg freestyles more and has a more authentic come up than Onigga. Meg dances better and has better stage presence. Meg champions female rap unity better, Meg is younger and more youthful, Meg doesn’t make sneak dissing aka bringing down other females her brand, Meg don’t surround herself around pedos. All Nicki has over Meg is versatility with her pop @ass. It’s the comparing Nicki’s 10 yrs to all these new girls cuz garbz are scared for me 🤣🤣😂
Did u Rock yourself in your white padded room while typing this essay ? 😂😂
Nicki been here 12 years wit 4 platinum albums
These h03z can’t even ship a million in total on they first
Imagine thinking St Nick the epitome of great female rap 🤣😭🤣😂🤣
As great as y’all try claim Nicki is she didn’t last 10 years…as soon as the doors where open for other females Nicki started to flop. How can someone be great and yet only last 10 years in the industry? Cardi b who is arguably not a great rapper has achieved similar feats even surpassed Nicki in some things in less time. Any old fool with internet access can just talk a lot of s*** with no intelligent thought.
Drake has managed to stay relevant and commercially successful
Rihanna the same
Beyoncé the same
Taylor swift the same
These four have managed to stay relevant commercially successful even as younger artists come up.
Nicki self proclaimed Queen, calls everyone her sons etc…. all it took was an irrelevant albeit talented rapper remy ma and a reality tv star cardi b to release and boom career over. So how great can you really claim to be??
And now another rapper Meg come along and further cements what a sham Nicki reign was.
I think you confuse the hate train with flopping. The Nicki Minaj didn’t last for 10 year? Same chick that was #1 in female rap 2010 & 2020? Say what you will but Nicki is still very relevant in 2021; most anticipated female rap album period.
Don’t allow the smoke and mirrors at Atlantic fool you— Nicki Minaj prevailed in 2020 when Cardi and Meg had the most radio play & performances. Minaj is still good money; any label would sign her right now. Just because Nicki ain’t buying Grammys and using payola doesn’t mean she a flop. If Beyoncé ain’t a flop neither is Nicki— Queen did well all things considered.
All garbage did is have a baby by a r*****/murderer and get sued
This is the response! 🔥🔥🔥
People like acting like they don’t know that Cardi’s success was purchased!
Comparing her to Nicki is disrespectful, Nicki Minaj is still relevant, still charting, still in demand – 10 years +!
Keep it moving, hoee
Akademiks didn’t lie about the state of current POPULAR female rap. While there is enough room for all of them, I question longevity for Megan, Saweetie, Flo Milli, Mulatto, Rubi Rose, etc. as they all seem like “a quick buck” for their labels. BUT, we will see…
He told no lies though. I’m not a fan of Nicki, cause I dislike her personality, but she is hella talented and could rap all of these new girls under the table. And honestly, Megan is not that talented in the first place. And Saweetie, as he said 🤷🏼♂️
She could never top Eve ir mc lyte
I can’t respect a person who doesn’t formulate a sentence properly. And you think I’m going to listen to your opinion?
Megan should not have released body. Odyyy that song is whack and set her back
Another shameless black man sticking his unnecessary 2 cents in to pit black women against each other. I’ve never even heard of him – why not speak about where he rates in talent amongst DJs?
Hahahahahhahaha
They can’t stand that they’re not the standard anymore! Nicki Minaj is a legend and none of these mumble jumble male rappers are seeing Megan and Doja right now. They don’t need to go “toe to toe” with anybody to prove a damn thing
Only f*** and chicken heads go up for Doja and Meg. Which one are you?
Chile 🤣🤣🤣
And who stands up for Crowmila? Self-hating and jealous virgin broke bottoms.
Nicki don’t even like this dude but carry on Lol
Meg can spit a freestyle off the top of her head with no problems. No other female rapper is doing that. She don’t have to be as talented as Nicki. Talent will not take you far if you’re not humble, Nicki is the poster child for that saying. Meg can rap, she’s humble and dying to work. She go far from that alone and when she’s done, she college educated so she has another career to fall back on instead sitting on Twitter sub tweeting other femal rappers. It’s crazy how much ppl feel the need to prove Nicki is the best female rapper because if she was, you wouldn’t have to prove it. Have y’all really heard the bulk of her catalog or do yall go off commercial popularity?
Spitting a freestyle “off the top of your head” doesn’t mean s*** when your music is whack. Shut the hell up
She never did a freesstyle of the top , in that case witch one?
99.9^ of freestyjes they prepare 3 months writing, select beats by themself
Juice wrld and eminem is proof of doing frrestyle of the top not many mootd
He’s entitled to his opinion. But I wish he had half this amount of smoke for all the trash ass male rappers. It’s like he expects all female rappers to be as good as Nicki, yet all these men can be as basic or even as garbage as they wanna be. And everybody knows Doja was the best female rapper out in 2020.
They all cant touch Eve or mc lyte
Its pretty ridiculos copaare nicki with megan when megan done 2 albums and 1 was s*** and how many songs have she done by herself?
I think its sad girls listen to her s*** rapping about her pus#y and twerk its strange before girls complained about how the dancers dress, now supporting her when its all about s** and girls get a weird look at it and lrarn to twerk when they are 12 years old
I can bring 10 rappers in 1 day max 22 years old that wash her.
If megan did a song with eminem,drake,lamar,nas,techn9,lil wayne she would be embarrasing while nicki stayed on top with a great generations rappers
Todsy rappers isnt close but megan isnt close to snow tha product for example if we tslking rap skills
To bad this os blocking girls who dont rap sbout s** and dtess like that but this time its not mens fault, if you know rap you dont listem to megan its a fact but its peopke who dont know rap dipporting her because alleays playing victim and dated evdry rapper ther is, its nothing i support. You don have to hehave like her for succues
