DJ Akademiks Says Rap Pioneers Are Broke and Dusty; LL Cool J Responds

Following DJ Akademiks’ comments that hip-hop pioneers are “dusty” because of their lack of money, LL Cool J was upset. The rapper explained that money is not the only factor in making music.

Akademiks isn’t the first to make such remarks, having said similar things in the past. However, it’s still important to acknowledge the pioneers and not make light of their contributions.

Akademiks has long exalted rappers based on their chart positions, streaming numbers, and material wealth. He’s even publicly acknowledged that he gambles five-figure sums of money on various sports teams and rap events.

Akademiks’ controversial comments on hip-hop have created a buzz on the internet. He’s one of the most polarizing figures in hip-hop, with some fans loving him and others loathing him. His opinions are still worth their salt on the Internet.
