DJ Akademiks Compares Drake to Floyd Mayweather in “Best Rapper Ever” Conversation

Akademiks Takes Shots At Rory and Mal From 'The Joe Budden Podcast'

DJ Akademiks continues to stand behind his stance of Drake’s GOAT status. It’s not like The Boy needed anyone to do so after his decade of dominance. His run as the Rap GOAT and one of music’s biggest superstars was iced with his recent award as Billboard’s Artist of the Decade.

While we all await the arrival of his 6th studio album (10th project overall), the conversation of “the greatest rapper ever” has grown more steam. Back in February, Funk Flex stated that Drake holds the crowns, barring the Quentin Miller reference tracks.

Referring tracks or not, DJ Akademiks states that Drake is the greatest rapper. The media personality recently sat down with Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh on Flagrant 2. The trio discussed Drake’s undeniable dominance as an artist and music businessman.

Akademiks went on to break down his reasoning for Drake’s GOAT status. When most Hip-Hop connoisseurs think of Rap GOAT, they automatically give the nod to Jay-Z. While Hov’s consistent longevity and talent are incomparable, Drake’s career matches that peerless energy as well.

Some might even give the OVO honcho the edge. Akademiks breaks down why he gives the “What’s Next” rapper the nod over Hov.

Drake had an ironclad hold on the game consistently, for ten-plus years,” says Ak. “Jay was one of the top 5. Some years he was 1, some years he was 2, some years he was 3. But I think what he gave to the game, in terms of people, influence, his impact, people cloud their thoughts in thinking about it to say he’s the best.”

He continues with Drake’s selfless nature with his stimulus package of doing songs with other artists.

“I think what we’re looking at with Drake, is we give him props for helping other artists, but that artist could have competed with you at some point,” Akademiks says.

“There’s a point, where if you go back to 2015, when Future was so hot. Maybe Future could have toppled Drake. But Drake pretty much overshadowed his wave. Travis. I think Baby to a certain extent. Charlamagne said that aather bout Baby. I don’t thinke Baby’s the guy yet. But I think Drake is smart. Drake won’t ever make it lines in the sand. He’ll always collaborate, help, and have those moments with that person knowing he’ll outlast them.”

He even compares him to Floyd Mayweather.

“He’s like Floyd in a way. He doesn’t knock them out, but he’s like, if you go twelve with me, ni**as will know I won.”

Peep the full conversation below. The interview gets better as AK sips more Henny.

Andrew Schulz Offers Ja Rule a Fade in Charity Boxing Match

In the latest episode of The Brilliant Idiots Podcast, comedian Andrew Schulz says that he would “absolutely” fight Ja Rule granted that the bout was for charity.

In the episode, Brilliant Idiots Co-Host Charlamagne Tha God recounts an episode of his MTV show Uncommon Sense that featured both the Murder Inc. rapper and Schulz.

On the podcast, Charlamagne recalls an on-air debate gone wrong about the infamous 50 Cent-Ja Rule beef. According to Charla, Schulz, who was wearing a Meek Mill T-shirt that read “Rap Lives Matter,” told Ja Rule that he would be featured on the T-shirt had this been back in the day.

Ja Rule responded saying simply, “I’m gon’ fight,” according to Charlamagne to which Schultz does not remember happening. The stand-up comedian then offered the “Clap Back” rapper a fair one if he still felt compelled to square up.

“Well if he’d like to do that for charity we could absolutely arrange that,” Schulz says around the 5:20 mark on the podcast. “Ja is 4’11, if [he] wanna catch the next hands he’s more than welcome to do that.”

Schulz shortly after proposed that any fight revenue go directly toward the people who were affected by Ja Rule’s failed attempt at hosting a musical event Fyre Festival, which resulted in large losses of money from concertgoers and caterers and has been detailed in two different documentaries on Netflix and Hulu.

Ja has not yet responded to a potential charity boxing match with the former Guy Code cast member.

The Fyre Festival co-founder is currently battling different lawsuits to which his defense has been that he is also a victim. Ja Rule is currently part of a $100 million lawsuit over the festival fail.

Ja’s partner on the venture, Billy McFarland, was found guilty for fraud and sentenced to six years in prison.
