DJ Akademiks sat down with DJ Vlad recently and the internet titans discussed lyrics being used in court and more specifically against Young Thug in the YSL RICO case.
Ak believes authorities should be able to use bars against rappers if the evidence supports their theories, but he feels it shouldn’t have to come to that.
“Why would [Thug] get on Instagram and tag him and say I would’ve been killed you if I didn’t like you for your kids and your mom,” he said. “I’m 100 percent also in the same school of thought as I hope they don’t weaponize lyrics. But then the YSL situation is not one of those things I can say they’re weaponizing lyrics. They’re supported by a lot of things we don’t know.”
Ak thinks Hip Hop is going through a “cleanse” as district attorneys across the country are following suit and throwing RICO cases at artists who they believe have gang affiliations.
“I think rap is going through a cleansing right now,” he explained. “As I said, all these D.A.’s are following each other. The Philly D.A. — they said, ‘We know so and so is beefing with so and so, like two gangs. If you are in these gangs, you better stop and if you around these gangs, you better get the hell away from them. Indictments are coming.’
“And they named 10 of them. The police are kind of keen to what’s going on and they’re also linking it a lot with music. We’re in the biggest gangsta era ever now.”
The internet personality went on to predict that a new wave of music will come out of this to dominate rap’s mainstream while the street rhymers are put behind bars.
During a live stream earlier in August, Akademiks rebranded YSL to YS-Tell after a leaked document alleged one of the affiliates snitched on the crew and fed the authorities info.

“YSL new name? YS-Tell,” he ranted. “Everybody tellin’, OK?! Everybody tellin’. All that slime and slat shit, they basically going to prosecutors and singing agreements, n-gga.”
Young Thug was recently denied bond for the third time and will remain in Cobb County Jail until his trial starts in January.
Someone else should cleanse the world of akademics opinion of anything.
This guy is feds best friend.
Vlad too
all i see is 5-0
Cause you’re a snitch
Now it begins. Sony, Warner, and Universal will begin to distance themselves from drill/trap rappers. Gangs are being rejected in black communities. People have had enough of the murders and robberies in their communities. Labels know that sooner or later, people will start to blame them for promoting gang violence. The drill/trap era is coming to an end.
It was never gonna last anyway.
been top of charts 20+ years really 30+ it aint goin no where theyll just have new clowns to replace the old like cube said theyll have a new n…. next year
Did you read the article about AEG suing Young Thug for six million dollars? Gangs, drugs, and murders are liabilities. That wasn’t happening during the 90s and early 2000s. Rappers are becoming liabilities, not investments.

Still going to prison with or without the lyrics. Its called freedom of speech. As long as there are gangs there will be the music and the bling to represent. Don’ t take it away it is a form of artistic creative expression.
Ok antonio. If you say so.
well tbh i think the majority of people want it gone even if they don’t listen to any music even because people are dying. akademiks says there is cleansing well its going to have to be very thorough!

Comments on Akademics articles should only consist of fat jokes.
This is a good thing. Clean up the streets. Send these black thugs to prison to get their salads tossed by Tyrone for the next coupla decades.
