LET'S ARGUE: Akademiks Is the Worst 

RU-vid recommended really doing its thing 💀

This aged very very well.

The “Akademiks is the worst” take is not as worth arguing as much as it’s worth agreeing

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.

Akademick has to be the easiest person to make fun off, Dude is clueless

I want an actual Melonfest where artists handpicked by Melon perform songs off their highest AND lowest rated records.

Well this aged pretty good

DJ Akademiks is the type to get intimidated by a Woman that has a deeper voice than him.

One of my favorite things about the Kendrick Drake beef was watching the amount of distress that DJ akademics was in

My new favorite thing is Anthony hating doing Let's Argue. It makes each episode much more interesting because he hates us

Akademiks got a weird case, why is he around?

This aged so fkn well!!!

The Pusha take is what happens when you don't pay attention

"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.

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! 😂

nav dissing Akademiks is the best thing he ever did

The algorithm is crazy for recommending this vid to me

And now he has an active case for rape, sexual assault and defamation

This man really put out two let's argues in 3 days

The defense of Push was based. That was the most L take I’ve ever seen

I need at least 60 minutes of Melonfest, I unironically rewound this video four times

Aged like fine wine.

I'd buy a 3 day pass to Melonfest

Be careful about editing yourself into prison like that, Anthony. That’s where all the AJR records are kept.

A YEAR AGO??? I THOUGHT THIS WAS A NEW DROP LMAO

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?

Waiting for the ringlight reflection to fit perfectly into the Iris of Anthony's eye is like the DVD logo hitting a corner

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.

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.

just got suggested this lmao, good job RU-vid algorithm

The person that said Pusha T has been carried for his entire career definitely has no idea that he was 1/2 of Clipse

Like fine wine.

when akademick went on fresh & fit he passed the point of no return

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

if pusha got carried through all his beefs. why is his track record SO good with them

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

this video aged well

Holy shit, this is a year old? I got recommended this and I thought it was brand new.

You already know Akademiks is going to do a drunk stream after he sees this.

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.

Finally we get to talk about the elephant in the room (Akademiks)

...and here we are today. 😮

If you feel useless then just remember, akademiks still has a following.

Part 2 would be CRAZY!

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.

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.

Bro stepping on needles with this one 😭😭can’t wait to see how this beef goes

Counterpoint: Akademics gave us the "my top 5 is drake, drake, drake..." His contribution to comedy is legit

I love when bands release the demos. Sometimes the stripped down versions are fire.

Aged like wine

You don’t have to hate Akademiks just because he enjoys Drakes cookie recipe more than you

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)

This aged like fine wine

These past few episodes of Let's Argue are killing it, love the editing and humor

Ak is even worse than you say.

I don’t understand how someone couldn’t like Sade. That’s it.

These intros keep getting better

46 more years until melonfest

Aged so well

Ah yes, academics is hard but worth it! Melon loves knowledge

This aged well

I can’t imagine anyone outright hating sade wtf

Ak got a weird case why is he around

YOU GAVE ME THE KISS OF LIFE (absolutely fire)

Who tf hates Sade????

I could watch footage of MelonFest 2070 for ten hours straight

I like when Anthony eats Italian food. I really feel the culture.

Cleaning those glasses while talking about Akademiks was a power move

Because of the Akademiks take we need a new “Let’s Agree” ASAP

Man I got news for you

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

The editing on this episode was superb

Can we get the Lil Pump 2 NOT GOOD review already?

"I AM THE TABLE" is the best lyric of all time

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.

So well known its not worth arguing

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

The man who said pusha T was carried his entire career needs to be sent to twitter jail

Fantano teasing us the new Cal chuchesta project I can't wait

The "Welcome to the JUNGLE BABY!!!" edits were fantastically hilarious

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.

The energy from the lets argue this time around got me feeling all kinds of good chaotic

Here in 2024 when Kendrick washed drake…

We just got 16 whole seconds of MelonPop, I love it here

Great video! Watched it all 👍

DJ Akademiks is the Keemstar of hip-hop

Algorithm is on point today 😂

Something bad always happens when Akademiks comes out of his basement

Love watching these while eating breakfast

The new high quality clouds in the background of the intro are a nice touch, Anthony

Shortest time between Let's Argues ever

Anthony, please tell me where you got that hoodie. Literally the best thing I’ve ever seen a RU-vidr wear.

"You remind me of someone...." - Erykah Badu

Akademiks close the fridge with his hips

Nothing to argue here

Anthony watch out, if Ak grabs that bottle of Henny, ain’t no telling what would happen

3:00 - Biggest laugh I've ever had during a "LETS ARGUE"

That Star Fox 64 music in the beginning... A man of culture.

That Response to the AK take is a banger!
