DJ Akademiks weighed in on the debate of who is the true king of rap. In a detailed dissection, Akademiks explained why he believes Drake sits on the throne over Kendrick Lamar. In 2015, Kendrick's album "To Pimp a Butterfly" had strong numbers, but it was obliterated by Drake's release of "Views" the following year. Akademiks also discussed Kendrick's hiatus from the music scene after releasing "Damn" in 2017, during which Drake released back-to-back hits that maintained his dominance. He emphasized that being "in the game" is crucial for competitiveness and that Kendrick's disappearance damaged his standing. While Kendrick is praised for his artistic depth and holds more Grammys, Akademiks argued that Drake's broader appeal, especially to female audiences, cements his standing as the number one in the industry. The DJ summarized that Drake's music output and commercial success place him firmly at the top.
