Akademiks goes off on the hip-hop media bums who call themselves journalists, saying they’re lazy retards who do less than the bare minimum and still act like they’re doing serious media work. These idiots just sit around waiting for a story to land in their laps, repeat the bullshit that’s already circulating online, and call it journalism. These guys will never get into the weeds of a story, chase down the details, or bring a perspective that makes people look at the situation differently. A lot of them won’t even touch certain stories if it makes somebody they fuck with look bad. The second the facts become inconvenient for one of their friends or industry connections, suddenly they have nothing to say. This is why independent creators are flourishing online. People are tired of watered-down media personalities protecting relationships and recycling safe narratives. The creators willing to dig deeper, ask uncomfortable questions, and actually bring something new are the ones winning.
