🚨 Wayno checks Akademiks over an era he says “Ak DIDN’T LIVE THROUGH” saying there’s a huge difference between researching hip hop history and actually being there while it was happening. “In ’96, ’97, ’98, ’99, 2000, 2001… you wasn’t even listening to RAP MUSIC.” Wayno says while Ak was still a kid, he was already inside the Roc-A-Fella/Baseline environment around Kanye, Just Blaze and more: “In 2001, I was 18. I’m already in the BUILDING where RocAFella’s at.” He admits that may give him some bias, but says people can’t rewrite what the culture actually felt like in real time. Via Wayno
