Believe it or not, Clubhouse is still a popular networking tool for the rap industry, especially for Wack 100 who seems to prefer the platform.
In a clip of a Clubhouse conversation shared to YouTube last week, Wack 100, 6ix9ine, Akademiks, The Game and several others were discussing Lil Durk’s lyrics, which often revolve around violence. The question was whether Durk would “slide on” anyone in real life.
As Akademiks attempted to outline his argument, he claimed the music industry isn’t the “streets,” which appeared to wake up The Game who’d been unusually quiet up until that point.
“I’m sittin’ here listening and Akademiks, you made some fucked up points,” he said. “This shit — you sayin’ the rap shit ain’t the streets shit. N-ggas been smoked — rappers, regular n-ggas, street n-ggas […] Since Biggie and Pac died, this shit been rap and street shit.
“Bro, y’all better get off this, get from behind the muthafuckin’ computer screen and catch a bullet or something to know this for real.”
Akademiks, who’s never at a loss for words, fired back and said that “wasn’t [his] point.” He was then asked if he believed he was part of the problem as someone who continually posts inflammatory posts involving various rappers. He argued what he did paled in comparison to rappers who rap about “killing somebody or them selling drugs.”
Wack 100, The Game’s longtime manager, wondered why he got so much flak while other publications and blogs post similar content. Game replied, “Cause that n-gga Akademiks, that muthafucka is Uncle Ben. He on front of the rice, n-gga that’s why. You go to Shade Room, it ain’t no face on Shade Room, you don’t know who runnin’ that … The n-gga Akademiks shit is Akademiks.”
While The Game may believe the streets is always part of rap, Soulja Boy had a different take. In a January interview with HipHopDX , the “Crank Dat” rapper was asked about some of his favorite new rappers, when the gravity of losing dozens of rappers to violence or prison in 2021 sunk in.
“I got favorite new rappers, but they be getting locked up,” he said. “Free the young talent, man. We got to keep our new talent out the streets. Every time I find a new rapper, they getting locked up. So free the young rappers, man. I know it’s hard in the streets, but you can’t be in the streets and be a rapper at the same time. You got to separate it.”

I remember when Game was running around in the streets. Pulled up on that change of heart set, wanted to stay together but she had other plans and dumped him.
I’M GONNA HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE LAME ON THIS ONE. HOWEVER, THAT UNCLE BEN JOKE IS SOME OF THE WORST SHIT I EVER HEARD.
He was saying that he was the face of his brand and that others don’t receive as much flack because the platforms are bigger than any one person
Didn’t he call out 69 recently? Now he’s quietly hanging out with him in a chat room? Man what’s Wack got on him? Made him his b**ch. yikes. Fighting with the Ak who’s a known dweeb but not the fake blood who’s a snitch? Lol
That’s the problem with idiot loser trash like Game. He’s wealthy… what does he do? Acts like low class gutter trash, repoing gang life, continuing the cycle thays destroyed black cities for a generation. At least 50 cent got his money, gained some class, became a businessman, and doesn’t run around the streets getting into fist fights to die and lose his life over stupid crap. Game is a loser.
COME ON WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT OH MY GOD SIT DOWN AND HAVE DINNER WITH ABSOULUTY ON WEAPONS OR GUNS PLEASE MAKE PEACE THE DEVIL IS BUSY COME ON HAVE OF THE RAP WORLD IS EITHER SAGITTARIUS OR SCORPIOS AND CANCER LIBRA AND PIECES THAT’S WHY I SAID ASK PEOPLE WHEN YOUR BIRTHDAY THAT IS NOT A JOKE FOR REAL FOR REAL
Lay off the drugs lady, you sound like a fucking lunatic.
Preach brother preach
Right on. Nobody should WANT to be a gangster. Being a gangster, especially a low level, non money making (like not the Italian mafia in the day) gangster. People used to be thugs back in the day because they had no choice. They had to survive in crap circumstances. But to be wealthy… and choose to act like a thug? And not just for the music sales? That’s just pathetic. Nobody should want to do bad things to others. Nobody should want gang life to continue for more generations.
Lil Durk is garbage!!
Why didn’t he yell at Game like he did to Rosrnberg?
Please can rap just die off and we move on? The best rap that could ever be made has already been made. These last few generations have done nothing but ruined it. Every new rapper that has come out in the past 10 years isn’t good. If there is a good one nobody has heard of him. I think it’s time to move on. It was a fun run but we are now right in the middle of its downfall. Soon it will lose its title as the biggest genre of music by not one but two other genres. Kpop and whatever the BS the Spanish people are listening to. It’s over. It’s done. Put the nails in the coffin and bury it. Somebody make something new. In 20 years we will all look back and be embarrassed by how we listened to most of this. It’s like disco. No old people are going around telling people they were into disco back then let alone still listening to it.
