In this clip, Vlad and DJ Akademiks discuss concerns about age and the sensitivity of artists in hip-hop culture. Vlad discusses his view on Drake’s latest album, commenting that it is his least favorite, and mentions an incident where Joe Budden claimed Drake threatened him over DMs. Akademiks describes how artists often misinterpret critical feedback as personal attacks. Furthermore, he describes an incident with Drake where the rapper felt under fire due to criticism. The pair discuss how factors like age in the industry can alter how their comments are perceived, with the example of Nicki Minaj getting upset at Grammy criticism. Closing remarks touched on Drake’s evolving identity in the industry and how artists can get boxed into categories, often prematurely. They note the importance of continuing to make music relevant to their current life stage.
