Akademiks Praises Kendrick Lamar’s ‘6:16 in L.A.,’ Denies Being Compromised

Drake hasn’t responded to Kendrick Lamar‘s “6:16 in L.A.” — but Akademiks captured his own reaction in real-time after learning K. Dot also flamed him!!!

Kendrick quips on the track, “Yeah, somebody’s lyin’, I can see the vibes on Ak/ Even he lookin’ compromised, let’s peel the layers back” — all of which was a total surprise to Ak, who couldn’t believe he was being targeted.

It’s not like Kendrick pulled Ak’s favoritism out of thin air … Drake actually used a sound bite of Ak ranting at Kendrick on “Push Ups” — still, Ak maintains he checks his bias at the door when it comes to reporting.

Ak saluted Kendrick’s skill on “6:16 in L.A.” and downplayed his mention on the track, but drew a line between having Drake fandom and being compromised.

Ak says if he was compromised, he wouldn’t have declared Pusha T the winner over Drake in their infamous beef, and claims he’s prepared to do the same for Kendrick … if he delivers a death blow, which he says he hasn’t. Not yet, anyway.

AK ended up dialing up Joe Budden for reassurance, but got his Drake cheerleading rubbed in his face instead. 😆
