Get ready for some hot takes and a sneak peek into the world of hip-hop! DJ Akademiks, the renowned internet personality, has just dropped a bold prediction about Drake's upcoming album, "ICEMAN." But here's the twist: this album might just be a game-changer, and Akademiks is here to tell us why.
"ICEMAN" is Drake's ninth studio album, and fans have been eagerly anticipating its release. With tracks like "Which One" featuring Central Cee and "What Did I Miss?" already out, the hype is real. And Akademiks, with his keen insight, believes this album is destined for greatness. He declares, "ICEMAN finna b a classic. Hollyyyy," leaving no room for doubt.
But here's where it gets controversial... When a critic suggested Drake lacks a classic album, Akademiks fired back with conviction. "Drake got 6 classics at minimum," he asserted. "He did a 3-peat after Take Care (NWTS, IYRTITL)." And he's not done yet! Akademiks teases, "Might be 8 classics but we’ll let the ppl debate!"
Now, this prediction comes at an interesting time. Just days ago, Drake's lawsuit against Universal Music Group was dismissed. The lawsuit alleged that the company inflated the success of Kendrick Lamar's diss track, "Not Like Us." The judge's ruling highlights the context of a heated rap battle, stating, "The broader context... would not incline the reasonable listener to believe that 'Not Like Us' imparts verifiable facts." Drake's team, however, is not backing down and plans to appeal.
And this is the part most people miss... Drake's upcoming album, "ICEMAN," could be his response to these legal battles and the rap game's dynamics. Will it live up to Akademiks' prediction? Only time will tell.
So, what do you think? Is "ICEMAN" destined to be a classic? Or is Akademiks' prediction a bit too bold? Let's discuss in the comments and share your thoughts on this hip-hop sensation!
