Loon Finally Responds To Akademiks, Says Charlamagne Exposed Him As A Studio Gangster - Full Ep

Akademiks got exposed outside the stream. Loon breaks down Charlamagne’s sit-down with Ak, Drake’s influence, the Complex list, Grand Wizard and what Akademiks has really built.Join Akademiks got exposed outside the stream — and Loon finally responds.

In this solo episode of It’s Up There, Loon breaks down the viral Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Akademiks sit-down, the history between Loon and Akademiks, and why Loon believes the interview exposed the difference between streaming power and real table work. Loon explains why Akademiks talked like he was going to run circles around Charlamagne, but ended up on defense once he had to sit across from someone who would not accept his premises.

Loon says the stream, the chat and the screen can make a person feel bigger than they are — but a real conversation requires technique, timing and foundation. The episode also gets into Akademiks repeatedly saying Loon’s name, the Brilliant Idiots history, Charlamagne doing Loon’s show while Akademiks wanted that sit-down for years, and the larger fight over hip-hop media’s top spot.

Loon then breaks down Drake, the OVO chain, the Stake shirt, Roc Nation accusations, Jay-Z, Grand Wizard, Akademiks TV, Complex’s Hip-Hop Media Power Ranking, and why he says Akademiks is captured — not controlled. This is not just a response to Akademiks.

This is Loon breaking down hip-hop media, streaming culture, access, ownership, attention, infrastructure and what it really means to build something in the culture. Editorial note: This episode contains commentary and opinion from Loon.

Claims about public figures, media platforms, alleged bias, lawsuits, business relationships and disputed online narratives are attributed to the speaker and should be understood in that context. & Treated As Entertainment 00:00 Loon Opens On Akademiks & Charlamagne 02:30 Why Akademiks Wanted The Charlamagne Sit-Down 05:00 Ak Saying He Would Run Circles Around Charlamagne 08:00 Loon Explains His History With Akademiks 11:00 Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne & The Old Loon Conversation 14:00 Why Loon Did Not Rush To Respond 17:00 Akademiks Saying Loon’s Name 20:00 The Difference Between Streaming And Sitting At The Table 24:00 Charlamagne Exposes Ak’s Weakness 28:00 Loon Says Ak Was On Defense 32:00 Ak Scoring The Interview 9-3 36:00 Ak Trying To Skew The Audience 40:00 Drake Chain, Stake Shirt & Brand Loyalty 45:00 Loon Says Ak Is Captured, Not Controlled 50:00 Admiration Makes Men Volunteer 55:00 Drake, Roc Nation, Jay-Z & The Media War 1:00:00 Why Ak Thinks Everybody Else Is Compromised 1:05:00 What Has Akademiks Really Built? 1:10:00 Complex Ranking Ak No. 1 1:15:00 Attention vs Institution 1:20:00 Loon Says Ak Is A Highway, Not A Destination #Loon #BigLoon #ItsUpThere #Akademiks #DJAkademiks #Charlamagne #CharlamagneThaGod #Drake #OVO #Stake #JayZ #RocNation #Complex #HipHopMedia #BrilliantIdiots #JoeBudden #GrandWizard Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now Discord For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE: 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ WATCH MORE ➡️ See for privacy information.
