DJ Akademiks delved into his inspirations and the ripple effect of influence within the industry. Citing legendary producer Quincy Jones, who recently passed away, Akademiks recalled a notable quote often attributed to Jones about artists emulating others before discovering their unique style. This idea resonated with Akademiks, especially as he navigated comparisons to media personality Charlamagne Tha God during his early career. Akademiks acknowledged how Charlamagne and others influenced his development into a distinctive on-camera persona. He extended this perspective to Poetik Flakko, a rising figure who had drawn comparisons to Akademiks himself, urging patience as Flakko carves out his own identity. The conversation underscored the notion of creative evolution and individuality, with Vlad also reflecting on his own circuitous path from mixtape DJ to creator of VladTV, indirectly tied to Quincy Jones's influence. Both hosts underscored the enduring impact of Quincy Jones, celebrating his legacy of originality and creativity in the industry.
