How the fukk did DJAkademiks blow up

[Formerly Black Trash]

Or get internet famous?

Or get industry connects?

Does he even break stories?

Like what does he do except comment?

Charlemagne threw him the alley oop back in 2013.

He took it and ran with it ever since.

[jilla82]

he has a talent for breaking situations down and giving his opinion in a entertaining way.
He also works social media super hard.

If you dont think its hard...
...make a video, or make a blog post that people want to read about some random story.

 

[mortuus est]

he put himself out there

Plus, there are a lot of folks out there that don't know things in-depth like we do on message boards.

Most of us never watched a DJ Akademiks video or went to Media Take Out, but there are tons of people that go so they can be "in the know." Both get 90% of their content off message boards,

Even DJ Vlad and Charmalenge get most of their background info off message boards. That's why every topic we have more Guests than users. Even this topic has 3 Users, 7 Guests.

This. He pandered heavily to that Chicago drill scene which got his numbers up.

Once he became "known" ppl started giving him the scoop on shyt. For example when the Migos got their chain took in DC. The people with the video emailed Akademiks about it.

I think the first guy to do it was "RealTalkNY" all he did was steal posts and ideas from SOHH around 2006 era and used it for his site, he grindin social media, and is doing alright

 

[ISO]

By knowing how to work social media and appropriating Coli topics/slang/culture, being critical of the drill scene and being the first to report fukkery. In time he gained connects...

His high pitched voice and way he tells stories is entertaining to a lot of people.

 

[Khadafhi]

Is this the same akademiks from cali thatnused to host mixtapes?

 

[ALonelyDad]

People love gossip..and nobody was really breaking down every type of gossip in hiphop community like he was, and his channel became big. Guy is so corny though, he literally posts a twitter video of a fukking tweet

 

[BlackManLiveFromLondon]

Lot of people catching on to how corny he is

 

[Mr. Togo]

Just finished watching his stream on twitch

Dude is legit funny as hell

 

[TrebleMan]

You just gotta love gossip and talking about what's going on with other people in a field you find interesting, because that's what most people want to hear anyway.

That's not a diss, pretty much 90% of the entertainment industry reporting and journalism in general follow that rule. It is what it is.

Just gotta go start doing it, then get persistent.
