Thank you for that. And welcome!!
It’s All Happening 💛
Thank you sincerely for the support this week, Monie. It was noticed and appreciated.🙏🏿🙏🏿
Monie you are doing amazing work and it great to see you get your shine
Monie you're always doing HQ work
and it will always be timeless in my eyes
and your works is always appreciated by me personally
I just subscribed and I love you Gurl...
What’s happening?
Happy to put this behind us, let’s continue to protect our Genre and push it forward! Justin you’re the GOAT!
It's all happening, brother. Thank you.🙏🏿
He's still not invited to the cookout
😂😂😂
He never really was
FACTS.
EXACTLY
you're 46 and can't cook, nobody going to yo cookout
Thank you for being a man of integrity and ensuring that you produce quality journalism. It’s a breath of fresh air and exactly why I follow you and always recommend you.
Great journalism, as always! I love how you know what’s inside and out of your box.
Thanks so much!
It's good to see men settle beefs. Must love Justin
Can see, hear, feel your integrity always. That's why I look to you for your thoughts and coverage and perspective always. This was just beautifully done. 👏👏🩵
Thank you, Kara🙏🏿
Also, shirt is shipping on thursday. They're coming by for an interview next week.
@@TheCompanyMan ah for real!?! 🥰🥰🥰 you know I'll be first in line for that one. 🤩
@@karaminalee I'm so excited about it.
@@TheCompanyMan it's a hell of an album. I'm so glad you're putting people onto them. I don't remember who mentioned them on a podcast clip I saw a few months ago but I thank God they did, because they were just under my radar. I'm so excited for that!!
Algorithm
Monie's video on the hotel incident and the supposed security guard was actually ideal perfect investigative journalism. She stated what the claim was, where the claim originated from, looked at the situation, asked questions, found some answers, but ended when there was no more info to talk about and simply correctly stated that the situation is unresolved and isn't proven one way or the other. She looked into people directly associated, tried to reach out to them, and did all of it above board with no op-ed injections. I hope she keeps up with that level of work because that's exactly what should be happening and she's very entertaining while breaking down her process.
Agreed. BIGFAX. She did a great job on that one.
And this everyone... this video right here is a shining example of why I am a member of this channel, journalistic and personal integrity with a beautiful mission.
Same man.
💯
I don't have much but , I watch commercials as my way to contribute,, love this channel and it's so refreshing to have a fair and balanced view, wouldn't it be wonderful if Kendrick gave The Company Man an interview WOW what a conversation that would be,,, Yeah IT'S ALL HAPPENING 💥
I mean……..
I’m glad y’all peaced it up. But he absolutely “showed his @rse” with this fiasco. He’s the type to think Ak is Cooler than Justin because Ak gets drunk on stream, and puts on more of a “hood accent”. I’m over the hate, sure, Fine even. But now we have hard evidence of what I always expected, that What The Dirt is a WHOLE GOOFIE!!
Amen 🙏🏿
So glad you made this. Also shout out Chilling With Monie!
I was gonna head to your post from today to let you know about this upload after watching it. Glad I saw this comment so I don’t have to bug ya lol!
DERAAAPY!❤
@@yaelcarrasquillo1675 ❤️
Lol
Yooooo it's the real Derapy
We were on his neck, Justin. We got you. I told Matt his hood was showing, and he didn't know what I meant. I said thats a sign you're an outsider to our culture. 🤣🤷🏾♂️
Haha fact!! 💯
Lol
It's an American thing that he wouldn't have gotten anyway 😅
@@rahbeeuhThank you…these comments really are very cringe & disconnected
I will never forget where I was when Justin dropped “Meet The Dirts”
Kudos to you for taking the high road but that culture vulture's goofy apology laced with a plethora of excuses is mute.🙄
Shut up you just mad he gave drake some credit
@@richardmack9995is that really all you got from this whole exchange? That's the only way someone could be mad with Dirt's situation? Loser type shit fr.
Pull that meat outcha mouth. Drake stans actin just like maga smdh.@@richardmack9995
Like the other guy said, we know why you mad lol & yr not clever. Real culture vultures seem to stay profiting, the ones that aren’t make apology vids. But I’m sure yr comment helps makes u feel included in things that yr not remotely apart of.
I'm happy that you're able to put things behind. Nonetheless, I don't trust WTD. After his apology, he was on the phone with Akademiks telling him that he had to do the apology because of Kendrick's fans (it was on his latest stream). Akademiks never said it was because of the way he talked about you. Then on this same stream, Akademiks alluded that he told him that he wasn't OK with him talking about 37 N-words because of its racial stance. So I think that WTD want to stay in the Hip Hop culture and profit of it and the only way to do it is to apologize. I really think that people show their true colors when angered.
Man I really do not like that dude 😂
Still casting himself as a victim. I'd be very disappointed if WTD resumed where left off with no consequences.
thanks for sharing
"Circumstance does not change a person but only reveals the persons Character" I forgot who quoted this
Half the rappers are trump supporters. WTD would be fine without apologizing. He apologized cause he wanted to most likely. Stop reaching, this is def still about kendrick vs drake. Even in the video he said it wasn’t then went in the talk about his Kendrick bias
I grew up as a white kid in a mostly black and hispanic neighborhood. It's really easy to get tricked by the validation you get from not messing up into getting a big head and messing up, if that makes sense. I was trying to have empathy for WTD through this, despite how much of a fool he made of himself. But it reminded me of moments of selfish shortsightedness in my childhood, and watching the stream with Suparig where he just let people say their peace helped clarify things for me. That's probably the thing that ended up helping me back then too- listening enough to realize you will have never listened enough. And you have to just be okay with that.
Sorry about the long paragraph, the whole situation just made me think about the systems i had to put in place to avoid those mistakes. (And i still make mistakes, just gotta be sorry and humble and keep moving forward)
The words Akademiks and "reported" should never be placed in the same sentence. "He said" is more accurate. 😂 I guess Drake bought her equipment for promotional purposes for Kick as well. 😂 The lies!
I ain’t going. I’m already gone. WTD can kick rocks.
same.. and even though his Kid Rock video was shouted out I’m going to leave it on the cutting room floor..
He be alright. He got that happy dad sponsorship.
stay woke 👀
@@bump_versinoI was just educated on that!
You stood up for yourself and our community in such a brilliant and eloquent way, I applaud you. 👏🏿 Thank you
Thank you!
I understand seeking peace. But I don’t trust they guy. It was a fake apology, reaching out to AK and other people to jump on his side after Matt said he was quitting, yet still going on another channel to talk about future plans. Let's not forget Matt deleted the video dissing you hoping you could never address it. If people didn't put Matt video back out, Matt would have pretended he never attacked personally attacked and therefore his apology would have been non existence.
lol man shut up. It’s over so let it be over. Stop trying to egg shit on
This 100%
Agree - TCM doesn’t need to turn his channel into the Fighting Dirt channel, but Matt acted like some young brat who thinks he’s found a way to shut an elder (in terms of experience and knowledge - I’m a lot older than both y’all so it is not an age thing) down. Sometimes folks like that need several lessons before they know where that boundary is.
Follow the Happy Dad money. Your welcome HipHop friends
New member here and followed a lot of this situation on Twitter. Love from Australia, and much respect 🙏
Thank you! Welcome to the community!
@@TheCompanyMan Thanks mate, you're easily my favourite creator right now. Keep killin it
The fauxpology was pathetic. Never even addressed the "I can tell" comment and sitting there in a shirt to promote Trumpers. Glad he showed his true colours this early into his "career". Bye Matt.
What the dirt isnt sorry about what he said or how he reacted. Hes sorry that hes receiving backlash and losing clout. Im staying unsubbed to him
Exactly!
x2
Idk it seemed like a genuine apology to me
@@alexdiaz1592 to someone who hasnt seen wtd twitter rants maybe. However wtd said “this guy in particular has no motion, and id only be helping him by acknowledging this guy” then wtd in the apology says “i have been watching justin for a while and i have always respected him” thats not a genuine response.
@@dolphinitely_bro3944 Have you never been mad and said stuff you regretted b4???
Though I've never heard of you before this situation, what Dirt did to you was so bigoted and disrespectful, and is in no way true. From what I've seen, you are a caring and respectful person aiming to shape the culture in a positve way. I got nothing but respect for you and stay strong brother. 🙌🏿
🙏🏿
I’m glad you had the opportunity to discuss the situation. That’s what adults do! However I really didn’t appreciate how people have felt comfortable disrespecting us and benefitting from us! I know this is how it’s been but at some point it needs to stop. The dagger Dan hit me hard! I felt that.
That's why it's up to us to defend the culture from bad actors.
We all know it wasn’t about Kendrick & Drake. Bro was “lost in his own hubris”.
It’s good to hear you both talked, and you’re good with where you’re both at now. Hope dirt keeps working on himself.
Appreciate your perspective and insight, glad I found your channel.
It just occurred to me as I was watching this that WTD’s approach to objectivity is the exact same approach at issue with how MSM outlets cover politics. The bending over backwards to seem objective, presenting a false equivalence, it causes them to appear extremely biased. It presents as them grading on a curve, but only to the people well enough informed to understand the disparity. It allows for the perception that the people pointing out that disparity are just whining bc of their hatred of the people with the opposing argument or them being allowed equal time, when the critics are appealing to the NEWS to present objective reality.
Drake fans will never not believe the backlash wasn’t motivated by Drake hate or Kendrick fans upset that Drake was getting equal time and praise… instead of valid criticisms of the videos approach and how that approach painted a misleading, if not false, narrative. At least in this situation- the stakes are fairly low and it’s not contributing to the death of our planet.
Glad you felt supported, you certainly deserved it!!
Exactly. The objectivity conversation is infinitely bigger than this rap beef. Well said.
Is he done Counting N88as from his cave in canada😭😭😭... You bigger than I am sir... You have my at most respect💕
Utmost*
@@kimberthug thank you my walking dictionary... I love you ❤️❤️😗
Unfortunately, I don't think Dirt is going to change, even more unfortunate, he will be fine, just like Vlad, Adam22, and Akademics.
He is showing a pattern of behavior that I don't think should be ignored: He does something, receives criticism, lashes out, then apologizes, saying that either his brother, gf, or therapist told him not to do it, but he does it anyways, then he takes a break from socials, and comes back, and seems to not have learned anything, in the case of FM, where he still chose to include that Breakfast Club interview. He seems to know all the right words to say so as to seem that he is taking accountability but won't actually follow through.
Yep. He’s a grifter. He wanna emulate Adam22/Akademiks. Even his crashout was textbook Akademiks.
Oh shit up when he praises Kendrick you guys love him but when he covers Drake the same way yall hate him the Kendrick cult is a bunch of weirdos who thinks he’s the only one that can get praise
Don't forget to add to that he deleted the video critising Justin
@@richardmack9995 Did you even know what this is about? Have you even watched the video? He questioned Justin's blackness, how he was raised and was completely out of line. This has very little to do with Drake and Kendrick.
@@tomfurstyfield yeah because Justin race baited him and made it seem like he was being insensitive when in actuality he was being very detailed but Justin made it about race to get him canceled for no reason
In a rap beef, of course we are expected to choose a side. It’s like picking a favorite football or basketball team.
It’s great that you are able to look at this objectively; however, people like What’s the Dirt shouldn’t be making this kind of content while throwing in the stereotypical comments about the CULTURE. I am still disgusted that he called you a “Carlton” and making comments like he did when he put that trash out there regarding Family matters.
I think he needs to go find another niche.
Will keep rocking with you Justin!
FM was a good breakdown. Sorry it hurt yr feelings…as for Carlton well as “savage” as that was (heavy sarcasm) we can say that was uncalled for but there was a whole apology so ..there u go
Bias is not coming to a situation, assessing the information, and forming an opinion. It's working backwards from your pre-existing opinions and beliefs. I did not hear Drake's music for the first time with a bias against Drake. He earned my opinion over time. As did Kendrick.
Exactly. Same here.
Also, everyone has biases, whether they're aware of them or not. (And they likely won't be if they're not actively working to discover and account for them.)
I mean there will inherently always be bias in an opinion. I think what you are trying to say is everything has cultivated to you feeling the way you do which is perfectly valid but you still are biased which means new information is going to be a lot harder for you to approach without that preconceived notion. If you do not like someone, hearing more stuff that make you not like them will drive that bar further and hearing good stuff about them will have less and less of an importance because your bias toward them has already shifted your opinion one way or another. It is hard to be truly objective about new information because the whole concept of forming an opinion takes time and is just inherntly driven by bias. Bias can also do the opposite and make it hard to see the evil in someone too. I agree with you though. When people do things over time it makes your form and opinion on them and at some point that opinion can never be shifted and the good or evil that they commit becomes irrelevant to how you feel about them. I do not think people's bias and opinions are a bad thing. I think perspective is important and it is what is used by every human being to navigate the world. You gotta hear about the ugly to shape your opinion on what is good. Ying and Yang. Old as time
Yeah. From the information available to the public, (interviews, articles) etc... Kendrick's arguments have more weight to them compared to Drake's. Trying to paint them as "equal" ended with something mostly speculative on Drake's end.
You can't really say that's biased when you compile facts from credible sources and one side ends up being more favored, it's just what is.
Yes, and from what i seen from Kendrick is that he has self admitted jealousy for the push that Drake gets, yet is also a hypocrite in the sense of saying he don’t care about being famous.
I seen him lie on the breakfast club about being loyal, and then admit on a album that he cheated.
I seen him say that he allegedly knew about tons of fucked up secrets in the industry, but didn’t actually speak on it until it benefited him in a rap beef.
We saw him go radio silent again and only drop a song after he got criticized for his Superbowl Halftime deal, in which he claims “the party needs to once” once again insulting the industry when the industry has put him on a pedestal with grammys and the literal Superbowl lol.
I love Kendrick music, but what he has shown me is that he is a liar and a hypocrite. Drake isn’t perfect either and he deserved to be called out, but nobody will dare call out Kendrick on his nonsense and that’s sad.
Objectivity is NOT neutrality
You say you had a conversation with him Sunday, however he’s still reposting content on his Instagram as if he was being criticized because of a Kendrick bias. He still does not get it and why people had issue with what he did and said. Very grown man of you to forgive but I’d keep him at a distance. It’s been happening 🎉
We rock w you because of your integrity Fam...bless!
You're the man, Justin. Endless respect.
Hi Mr. Hunt - Lurker, and manager of my own online communities in a different space. I really admire how you handled yourself during this. I started watching your videos for your perspective on hip-hop, and I subscribed because of the quality of man you are. Thank you for posting these videos, they are a model for how to handle the situation you were in as well as an excellent response to what happened.
Thank you, LLL. That really means a lot to me. It's All Happening🙏🏿
You handled this with so much grace and poise, it's inspiring. I don't say this with pride but I would have gotten so nasty so quick. Respect.
I personally dont think WTD calling Kendrick a milk man, uncle ruckus and an jealous attention seeker is very objective.
Felt like his drake coverage was very objective BECAUSE he defended drake despite damning optics. That was praiseworthy. But calling kendrick damm near derogatory black slurs in any capacity was wildy not objective.
This issue wasnt about kendrick vs drake. And WTD crash out revealed alarming behaviors.
But i kinda feel like the crash out, is overshadowing how bad a video The family matters breakdown actually was
There's only so much you can breakdown by hyper focusing on lyric entendres alone. WTD main issue is he lacked a ton of knowledge/exp about the world and wider hip hop. His approach kind of worked for Kendrick bc of Dot's tendency to hide cryptic meanings in his bars but WTD lacked the familiarity with hip hop to know you can't do that with other rappers, least of all Drake. So he started projecting from his own biases to come up with hidden things that weren't there to begin with.
Why didn’t yall feel this way about the Kendrick review?
Dirt didn't call Kendrick anything. He was breaking down bars and allegations in a diss song.
@@El3gant1 WTD talked about the N word and Drake blackness in his Euphoria review. Nobody cared cuz it was what they wanted to hear.
@@Duzypriicee I did feel this way. On 6:16 WTD calls Kendricks singing style "this weird and sonically unpleasing thing" not recognizing that it's a classic reggae emcee style that every rapper has switched into before. Obvious that WTD doesn''t listen to rap at all like that.
Grown man ish! Well put, and respect!
That's great you two spoke but I'm good on him, his channel and his platforms. He's blocked!
That’s cool…still not fuckin with him ❤ I’m gonna make a concerted effort to support our black creators
Why is it always our job to make them feel comfortable about disrespecting us. I wouldn’t have talked to him.
It's great that he apologised, and that you two have moved on, but I don't quite trust the genuity of his apology.
Your intention has always been FELT! As my grandma would say, 'The waterfall can only overflow when its river is full of abundance.' It was refreshing to see the community pour back into you the same way you’ve poured into many of us over the years, especially for those of us who have a deep connection to hip-hop and truly appreciate the important pillars who carry it forward with sincerity and reverence.
As always, IT'S ALL HAPPENING! ✊🏾♥️🖤💚
You seem like a really good guy and i appreciate you sharing this all with us. Im glad you didnt delete your last video reacting to his overreaction because i think its inportant for people to see that its okay to react and point out when youre being disrespected. Idk that ill ever watch WTD after this because it put a bad taste in my mouth. But i appreciate the discourse.
My video is definitely staying up.
One of the positives I take out of this, is me rediscovering Company Man again. You are one of the pioneers of Hip Hop UA-cam.
Like willie the kid said: I want you to eat brother, just not with me.
Amen!
🎯
WTK is so underrated that it upsets me every time i think about it lol
@@SolidSnake240 real underground shet!
YOU ARE THE GOAT JUSTIN! I BEEN WATCHING YOU SINCE 16 and now I’m an accountant. Much love!! It’s all happening! 🔥🔥
One of the best things that happened in this drama was me finding out about Justin. Been watching the channel everyday.
Thank you!
@@TheCompanyMan you’re welcome my brother!
Super magnanimous!
Thank you brother!
Not you making a 'how to beat drake' manifesto 🤣🤣
It worked and it worked.
I’m glad you guys were able to iron things out. However, I’m a firm believer in what Maya Angelou said. She said, “When they show you who they are believe them”. We can forgive but that person has to stay under evaluation until further notice. We need to determine if he is really for the culture or for profit, especially since he was willing to disrespect one our own. It wouldn’t be wise to let that slide. Love the conversation, and totally agree with the gatekeeping of HH. It is absolutely necessary or there’s a potential it will become completely hijacked or worse whitewashed.
Well done. Matt is bought & paid for.
Classy way to report the update. Thank you
What’s the dirt knows he messed up by going at you and saying kdot fans are toxic which he prolly got from Akademiks
Thank you for keeping journalistic and cultural integrity alive! Your last video going through your favorite HipHop journalists was truly needed. All of those names mentioned are icons in the space!
Your voice and scope of work is needed and I've been so happy that you've been expanding your content.
And I agree, it's time for us millennials and the Gen Xers to contextualize HipHop properly since we are in the best position to do so. We need more people like you, the Bottom of the Map podcast, etc to speak to the nuances of the culture.
Thank you for all that you do
We got your back, Justin. You're THE CULTURE!
What fuckin culture are you talking about????? You guys are all weirdos
I wouldn't accept his apology he's done this before with Cliff Beats and he will run the same playbook with another content creator.
Nobody should use what’s the dirts videos going forward. There are tons of other videos that people can react to and discuss.
You are too gracious! But you are also no punk about your stuff. Much respect
Good on you man but keep that white boy at a distance lol
Still not supporting his ass anymore 😂 he’s out of it
I actually first encountered Matt's channel when I searched culture vultures and got his piece on Kid Rock and it was excellent. All things considered the dude is talented. It's a shame his ability to read the room is terrible because this he really did his thing on those Kid Rock and 6:16 breakdowns
Finally figured out how to become a member. 🎉
Aye!!!! Welcome!
Nobody else found it interesting that in Dirt’s so sincere apology video in which he isn’t sure if he’ll ever come back to UA-cam again, he still managed to advertise Happy Dad?
I discussed this on another channel (Shawn Cee's?) I noticed (and said) two things: "As soon as he was called out, he flounced and threatened to leave UA-cam, even though both he (and the rest of us) knew that he wouldn't" and "He hasn't offered to repair the harm by removing the offending propaganda; nor did he demonstrate any real awareness of WHY he was in the wrong. Going through the motions of apologising (while being covered and surrounded by merch) doesn't signal sincerity."
You're not only who saw it. The thing is, it's up to Justin to decide what his relationship with WTD will be, and I wish him well with his decision. For myself, I do not trust WTD, and I thought the apology was very performative and fake.
Mad respect for this video, honestly I didn't respect WTD? Apology video as genuine as he sounds he still being disingenuous you can tell smh but you my Man have been that this whole time acted like a grown ass man with integrity something WTD lacks. Much respect from your mexican brother
Thank you brother🙏🏿
Thank you for the update. Your professionalism and maturity in handling this issue is a shining example for all.
I heard his apology and I did hear some sincerity in it. But this space has now become so bloated with voices that i have to be selective and curate my content intake. All of that situation left a bad taste in my mouth. I dont feel the need to watch his content anymore. Part of gatekeeping the culture is being selective with your attention and energy. Im glad to include you in my viewing roster.
I feel the same way, I especially did not like that he wore the happy dad merch in the apology. I don't feel like he cares about what he did because he did it for a bag and anyone that would disrespect the culture for money is not welcomed.
Your forgiveness was prob all WTD needed to get back to being comfortable with the nasty picture he was painting about Kendrick. If you're good with him, I'm good with that. He won't get my clicks though, the same way Ak doesn't. They moving real funny and seemingly without integrity, and I'm good on that. Salute u you though ✌🏾
Yeah I unsubbed super fast, glad you worked it out but I’m not watching his content anymore.
When we look back at this moment in the future, we'll see it as a pivotal time in hip-hop history. As Justin pointed out, those of us who grew up with hip-hop-Millennials like myself and Gen Xers-are stepping up to defend and protect the culture we love. This conversation shows the power of understanding and respect, even when disagreements arise. Hip-hop, created by Black and Brown communities, is deeply intertwined with our culture and identity, and it's important for outsiders who love hip-hop to grasp these nuances. Justin and Matt's public dialogue and resolution are a testament to how we can hold each other accountable and still come together respectfully. This is an important and amazing moment for hip-hop, showing how differences can be resolved with honesty, growth, and mutual respect.
Forgive but dont forget!
( Oh Dirt blocked me)☠️
🎯‼️
I’d say that’s a good thing. I unfollowed him, a month ago when he started the Kendrick slander. I don’t need his content at all.
He still can't handle criticism 🤣🤣
Glad y’all chopped it up and smoothed some things over . I like both of your content and think this was a good conversation to be had . Much love and respect for how you handled this whole situation 💯🤝🏾
He’s a two-face. He mentioned in his apology how he used to watch your videos and how everyone knows your a big figure in this culture.
I don’t believe he knew who you were until he started getting push back and everyone went in on him. Just look at the way he nonchalantly disrespected you I bet a million dollars this dude dirt didn’t know about your channel just by the way he was getting mad at your response.
No disrespect to you it’s just his small mindedness that showed how ignorant he is about the hip hop culture.
We dont want him back u cant disrespect the culture and come back from it!
We still don’t trust dirt.
So y’all don’t believe his Kendrick reviews either?
Drake and his crew have threatened Kendrick and Metro life.
Glad y’all made good but bruh showed his true colors with this whole thing, his intentions are skewed and we all know it now.
I’m done with WTD. We have to start holding outsiders like dude accountable. Unfollow him and stop supporting his channel. They must come correct when In our culture.
I commend you for being able to move past things
I just don’t feel as though that apology was authentic especially since he made the conscious effort to put on his happy dad sponsored shirt
He never addressed calling you Carlton or the “I can tell” line
I already unsubbed and don’t see myself resubscribing honestly
You can’t unlearn prejudice overnight and wherever the comments he made came from that place still exists within him
Salute for being a man about it. You helped a younger man learn an important social and cultural lesson-and probably many more who were watching!
Well there is actually suggestions that what’s the dirt is now in Drake’s camp because of the “happy dad” sponsorship money that comes from the Drake-supporting Nelk boys (who also sponsor Akademics). It would explain his shift from the previous excellent breakdown’s of Kendrick’s songs to his current wild reaching to paint Drake in a positive light
you should look into who else they support in the context of american politics . . .
🫡 Justin… now with that being said… Fuc what’s the dirt! 😂💯💯
Shoutout to Showface News aka The Mayor also.
BIGBIGBIG Shout out to Showface The Mayor! Next time i see him live I'ma come through and pay my town taxes. He showed a lot of support too and I appreciate him for that.
Shouts out Thought Crimez 💯🔥
Respect company man
Thought Crimez certified🫡🫡
Totally unrelated, but you have a beautiful smile! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I get it from my momma. 🙏🏿
I love this channel. I love the honesty from TCM. New subscriber here💯💪
Thank yoU!
Let it be a lesson to culture vultures and toxic mic bros. Disrespect will not be tolerated. Wish more BM stood up to more of these jokers publicly when it comes to Hip Hop culture and American culture in general. Kudos to you Justin for protecting your name/brand and showing integrity as a true journalist.
I fck with both people n both sides (even DJ Akademics) it is all about balance and growth. No one side 100 per cent correct.
I’m glad I found your channel Justin. As an outsider it’s really refreshing to find someone in hip hop with a real grasp on journalistic integrity and how important the shift that’s happening in hip hop is right now. All the best I hope you continue to succeed.
I just wanna say big shout out to theVill. He has been one of the most accurate and up to date players in the game.
We like you ❤️ justin,
Matt is not invited for cookout we still need apology from him for the propaganda & Misinformation he did against kendrick & whitney!
Damn I’m proud to be apart of this community 🥹💕💕💕🫶🏾
I'm glad you're here!!
I’m glad you talked to the guy. Sadly he thought he was being “hip hop” by clapping back like that. I bet it’s something he saw DK Alademiks do to another streamer or to Meek Mill or something.
Who the fck is this ninja, saying this is not about the beef? Who U fooling?
You clearly dont know anything about the culture if you don't know who Justin is 😂 tourist
Big salute for this. I totally got the anger from your end with that whole situation. Dirt attacked you on some very personal and offensive grounds. He was way outta pocket, and I do think he knows that. But I also felt like we (collectively) were waaaayyy harder on him for his brief crashout than we've been (collectively) with the likes of Vlad or Adam22. Adam interviewed Pop Smoke's killer this year man. He didn't even have the interviewing chops to get anything of value from the kid. It was disgraceful. Even Akademics was like bro...
Adam is still going strong. Vlad has similarly violated throughout his career and it's just whatever it feels like. Dirt violated. Dirt messed up, but he showed a level of contrition that I've never seen from any of the people in that Akademics/Adam22 lane of hip-hop media. I'm glad y'all spoke and hopefully squashed things, but we (collectively) def gotta do better at keeping that energy sometimes.
Salute bro
Can you have hip hop convention to talk about hip hop or have a Zoom meeting💁🏽♀️
Coming soon.

Happy that you guys were able to solve this issue, but I will not be supporting him anymore. The video had mad me upset but his crash out with you showed me exactly who he is. Keep doing excellent work
