*If you’re family is Jamaican stories like this hit different……… It’s not until you’re older you realize the opportunity/sacrifice that was made so you could have a better shot at life…..S/O to my mom & dad💯*
In 1973... my mother pawned 2 acres of land in Guatemala for $75 to bring me to the US (illegally)... We ended up living in an abandoned building in The Bronx... she ultimately lost the rights to her land. Not sure what life would have been like had she not taken that chance but Today, I'm a citizen, with property in the US and a successful business. Long story, short.
Dope fellow Chapin. My Dad came to Chicago on a visitors visa but he knew he was here to work. His 1st day looked around and said well I have to figure this shit out. Worked saved some money went back to Guatemala to get my mom. Brought her over they had my brother. They all got deported back but with my brother being born here they applied for their residency. I was born there. Came here at 18 months old and for ever greatfull for their sacrifice to leave everything behind and start a new life here.
@@javiervega1065 to understand it you would have to be an immigrant kid coming here with your parents and see what they go through and having them putting on all the pressures of success on you while you yourself trying to adapt with the American culture.
Finally, I have been waiting for this interview this is so me and so much of what my friends and fellow islanders go through as a child coming to the states. Shout out the dj alademiks!
Big up *Akademiks* we both are from the same parish of *Clarendon, Jamaica🇯🇲* with the exact same story of migration and expectations of *America🇺🇸* The struggle was real, but we quickly overcome through education and hard work. Bless 🙌 up all *Jamaicans* home and abroad...🙏
As a Jamaican now living in the USA,everything AK says is true. Growing up, "farin" was the ultimate paradise. I used to think the plane went in the air and landed in the clouds. Then my mom brought me here and everything was shocking. I am thankful though that I am here. I went on to being fully educated with a good job. The sacrifices our parents made to ensure we went on to leading good lives is so amazing 👏

@@shakagod3779 shoutout to my UK black people. I can relate to y’all cuz many of y’all got African/Caribbean background, especially Jamaican and Nigerian
Yo academic story resonates so well with me because I had a similar experience myself coming from Jamaica. We thought America had roads paved with gold.
Lmao you have Jamaican cousins in London? Lmao I have London cousins who come from the Nigerian side of the family, they hang with a lot of Jamaicans 😂
My mom too. She was a school teacher and overstayed her Visa. The streets were supposed to be lined with gold. She cried a whole year straight when she got to NYC and saw the truth.
I remember my Jamaican neighbors were shell shocked at the level of poverty in some places. When they first got here. They would talk with such worry with the shit they saw on the news. I told them they lucked out finding the house they did next door for the price. Cause they could've easily end up on the neglected side of town.
I can relate to this so much I was born in Jamaica and moved to America when I was 13 and we called America foreign and it was all a fantasy land to us
Thank you AK for sharing this!! You see how people just come to this country and grind and go get it with no excuses!! His mom came to this country as a immigrant with no social security was able to work 3 jobs and bust her has. It grinds my gear when people from here be like oh I can’t find a job and I can’t a get job. This country ain’t paradise but there is opportunities as a Hispanic I can relate people come from other countries just come here to have a better chance in life. Live in uncomfortable situations but work hard to get out of it and get their love ones out !!
@@cmbsoldja yes but citizens complain about saying their talking all the jobs but their doing most the jobs we don’t even want. They don’t make excuses they just go get it
I came to this country with $500 20+ years ago during the Bush Era in the summer. When the winter hit shit got real, salute to any immigrant that turned this American nightmare into the dream.
LMAO, gotta love similar immigrant/refugee stories. One of the kid in my remote village, in a third world country, heard i was going to the states so, he told me be careful of Dinosaurs because he recently saw Jurassic park. I was terrified to come to the states because of that. Another rumor was America was so rich that sometimes, Americans would leave the car on the road, call an helicopter, if they ran out of fuel if the gas stations were too far. HAHAHAHA
"When you are a principal in Jamaica you get a house" I just realized that teachers don't get this in America. Ak's experience reminds me so much of mine 🤣🤣
Yeah but the opportunity that Ak has made for his family could never be achieved in Jamaica and that's just facts. There is a ceiling to how high you can reach in Jamaica. The opportunities are endless in the US. He made a career talking to his camera about his interests and expanded from there. You can do the first part here but there is no room for growth and if you try to grow, you'll eventually meet the ceiling which is crime and other issues that plague people living in Jamaica. Take it from a Jamaican living in Jamaica he didn't lose anything moving to America.
@@javiervega1065 Nah not really. My mom moved to the US and achieved everything she was fighting her whole life in Jamaica in 3-5 years. What i've realised is its hard to see the opportunities if you were born in it. Just like you have impoverished south asians and north africans moving to Jamaica and making fortunes that Jamaican people thought wouldn't be possible here. If you actively search for it and work hard at it i'm sure you'll find it.
You can thank Hollywood aka Hollyweird for the miss representation of what the USA is like to the rest of the world. It’s a tricky way of attracting immigrants I guess, once you come here, it’s like Uncle Sam welcoming you saying “GOTCHA BITCH” - David Chapelle voice 😂 🤣
Hollywood is part too blame but clearly people coming from other countries are not keeping it a buck with their family members back home or they would know better and know exactly what to expect in the USA
my mom left zimbabwe for the UK in 2001 at 25, worked 3 jobs for a year, then bought ticket for my dad 1 year later. Me and my lil bro aged 2or3 at the time, were left to live with my Grand Parents for 4 years. we eventually moved to join them in 2005.

@@toke8488 there’s no other country like America. It’s the melting pot of the world. With far superior opportunities. And I believe in Heaven on Earth. So this is it.
His story is beautiful, how he describes Jamaica is brilliant. So happy that I bought three acres there and plan to settle in soon. There are so many quite tucked away country areas that are available for foreign investment. It proves the "push-pull" immigration model. As some leave, some will come in and settle. Everyone wins.
Your comment got my attention and if you don’t mind I would love to get in contact with you for a proposal. If it works or makes sense to you. Anyway I could get in contact with you? Thank you
This part of the interview answers why you see so much immigrants come here and run laps around ppl born here. Ppl born here clown around, not knowing how good they have it 💯 Jamaicans will have just came to America a year ago, and 6 months later they have their own car, a year later they have a house. Its cuz when we put our mind to it our hustle and hard work is 2nd to none.
No y’all just like vanity I know a lot of Jamaicans that will buy a Benz and sleep on their friends floor 😆😂😂 buy champagne at the liquor store and sneak it in the club
Run laps🤣bro the countries you come from are sh1t holes and ran down so Pipe down. Yall not that much of hard workers cause if you were you probably wouldnt have to run here. Black americans were the one who paved the way. never forget that. Study history.
The Immigration story of African-Americans! You realize how much you really have and give up being A “Yankee” in the United States! I love going to my grandparents plantation and appreciating the freedom it’s the best of both worlds! ✊🏿🇺🇸
My Dad ,his mother & 2 brothers fresh from Jamaica 🇯🇲 inna 70s Watch hip hop grow organically,Dey settle in Jersey & started going dumb hard owning properties,small businesses,& now we are inna Credit business 💯💯💯 I advised all foreigners from all countries to manage your personal credit 💳 LLC your business & Do Not Slowed Down Ever!
🇯🇲🇯🇲 BRAP!!! Gunshot!!! Typical Jamaican hustle. The lesson here is that the US does a great job of promoting their image; "land of opportunity." The aim is to get your hustle on here and buy some land back home for retirement.
I’m proud of my mom getting her citizenship, she was so nervous studying for that test it’s crazy that I was born here & I couldn’t answer some of those questions 🇯🇲✊🏾also Vlad please don’t try & speak patois again 😩😂
Right! I remember “helping” my parents prepare for the test, the night before. I was born here, I knew some of the questions, more than my American friends who had been here for generations. They were so excited to become citizens, which I was a bit surprised my father never planned to stay forever, but they bought a home and my dad bought a shop, and decided that it made sense to become citizens since they had so much invested in this country. The next time we went back to Jamaica I noticed we got to wait on the faster line at customs. I finally realized why we had to get in a different line, that seemed to take forever. We had US passports now.
Now it makes sense as to why he acts the way he does to this culture and why he'd hail someone like a vlad when both are a mockery being synonymous to black culture.
Went from living a beautiful life with a maid and a cook to being dropped in the middle of the hood 😂😂 people don’t know some immigrant stories are us going from what seems like a good life to canada/America for the opportunity to live a GREAT life. Our parents sacrificed their comfort for our futures.
Big up all my immigrant brothers and sisters that had to take that huge risk for a better future in the land of the free. Mom and dad I love you forever and forever am I grateful for the position I am in today because you risked so much for a crumb of the pie…. I swear some of us don’t know how good we got it.

Say what you want but Akademiks is clearly a good speaker.
No he's not
I would take this down .. because they can get their papers taken away if USCIS sees this >.< & investigates.
very true uscis can revoke his citizenship based on this
@@kofiboansi5789 tell vlad to remove it anyway vlad won’t let them use it vlad will pay his lawyers so they can’t
This is such a Jamaican story, my family is from Clarendon (not too far from May Pen) also, and they also moved to New Jersey!!!
This is like the FBi interviewing the CIA
SHOUTOUT TO ALL MY GOOD IMMIGRANT PEOPLE MANE I LOVE YALL
Immigrants can relate. Salute to AK
To this privileged weenie
You can see the resentment for his half brother and dad in how he refers to them
🇯🇲🔥
Now Vlad is reversing interviews
Can you put out the Full interview please. Love AKademics. He's the man.
Get the membership
He gonna put it out soon
Why he's a fraud and and culture vulture weasel
Vlad got akademiks to tell on himself damn
Now it makes sense as to why he acts the way he does to this culture and why he'd hail someone like a vlad when both are a mockery being synonymous to black culture.
✋ he is 🇯🇲 ya mon bless 🙌 🙏 👏 I respect di bwoy even more
DJ akademiks one of the greatest of all time this guy a legend for real
🙄
He's a culture vulture scum bag who just knows how to act like a snivling weasel to 15 year old nerds
Broke it down beautifully 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
Went from living a beautiful life with a maid and a cook to being dropped in the middle of the hood 😂😂 people don’t know some immigrant stories are us going from what seems like a good life to canada/America for the opportunity to live a GREAT life. Our parents sacrificed their comfort for our futures.
Your work just started 💯
He is one of the greatest of all time
Big up all my immigrant brothers and sisters that had to take that huge risk for a better future in the land of the free. Mom and dad I love you forever and forever am I grateful for the position I am in today because you risked so much for a crumb of the pie…. I swear some of us don’t know how good we got it.
Facts!! We all thought American 🇺🇸 was heaven 😭
I mean it is compared to other countries. By no means is a America perfect but there are very few countries I’d rather live
@@slumprince same I glamorised it since I was a kid but now as a young adult I rather go to an other country developed
@@IAMYAMSBOY I’d suggest you Caribbean immigrants go to the UK, cuz there are many Caribbean and Africans there
@@ashokadhshd3438 lol I'm south african not carribean lol don't you want us in America
@@IAMYAMSBOY I’m half Nigerian and half Black American. The UK is a better place to live cuz racism is not as much of a problem as it is here in America. The UK is full of people with Africans and Caribbean heritage that you’ll prolly get along with better
Damn I might actually like akademiks now .. very good story teller
I agree with this. I'm from Europe and America is NOTHING like how they advertise it around the World. It's a lie
No cap. America is still a more well off country than a portion of others countries, but it’s not as cracked up as it’s made to be
A k mom is a real 🇯🇲⭐
“Its your first time here so I want to get into your whole story.” If you bet 100 dollars on part 5 you would have won $10000000
my boy AK. we love you boa 🦂🦂🦂🦂
Type of nigga to snitch on his mom's 😂😂😂
Well said dj aka... this gonna be a good interview.
I’m a proud Foundational Black American 🇺🇸 who family members didn’t have to scam in order to have a decent life.
Yeah they just had to go through 400 years of slavery and Jim Crow and continual issues caused by yourselves. You can be proud of everything you guys have managed to overcome but there’s nothing to be proud of when it comes to being born in a country that honestly doesn’t even want y’all here
If they can get away with it, good for them. Salute the initiative.
nigga you commented twice
@@shottakush8404 FOH. We don't give a damn if they want us here. At least we ain't kissing ass and when it's time to ride we Ride! Yall flee from oppression 🤣🤣 We physically fight, die and kill for this.
Dude you hurt or something. You need something to do my guy
Bless mama Ak💯 she sacrificed so that you could be great
You gonna get her deported fool 🤦🏾♂️ 😂
exactly
Definitely would miss the hate he get from yall😒
He has enough money to provide her with a comfortable lifestyle wherever. Or get her a business visa in the US investing millions.
As long as you bring money to a country, the law will be easy on you.
No cap I never realized that 🤦🏾♂️
Big up AK🇯🇲
Vlad doesn’t know that AK is wearing a wire but Ak doesn’t know that vlad is wearing a wire, but vlad secretly knows Ak is wearing one and Ak secretly knows Vlad is wearing one….they definitely rubbed bodies after this
They definitely the feds 😭
Thank you telling your story … ppl think it’s a joke
Ak why you exposing yo momma haha
Deep.. “you didn’t make it cuz you got there, the work just started.”
Ak is really a GOAT so is VLAD! SALUTE
