Ak Says Drake-Kendrick Beef Stalled Hip-Hop

The Drake and Kendrick beef actually ruined hip-hop this year instead of saving it.

DJ Akademiks is claiming that the biggest viral moment in recent history is exactly what

is holding the entire genre back right now. He admits the numbers were absolutely

insane during the battle, which is exactly why media outlets refused to move

on. They kept milking the drama for clicks long after the smoke cleared,

and that is the problem. Hip-hop runs on fresh storytelling and new stars,

but because everyone is stuck recycling this one feud, no new narratives are being built.

It is suffocating the next generation of artists because the spotlight never moves.
