DJ Akademiks And Wack 100 Square Off Over Kendrick Lamar’s “GNX”

Honk Magazine

In the exciting world of Hip-Hop commentary, few figures create as much buzz as DJ Akademiks and Wack 100. This week, they engaged in a heated discussion about Kendrick Lamar’s latest album, GNX, and whether it should be considered a “classic.” During their latest conversation, Akademiks and Wack 100 talked about the hype surrounding Kendrick’s new release, which has been a massive success on streaming platforms and has gotten a lot of attention in popular culture.

However, Akademiks isn’t convinced that GNX deserves the title of a classic album. “I don’t think it’s a ‘classic,’ but it’s a good album,” Akademiks shared, acknowledging his preference for another artist, Drake. “GNX has done well commercially,” he continued while still hesitant to label it a top-tier album. Wack 100, known for his strong opinions, had a different perspective. He argued that the album’s classic status is about what Kendrick has achieved with the music.

“What makes it a classic?” Wack countered. “He created 12 songs featuring mostly upcoming artists, and it still did really well.” Akademiks believes a classic album should have good sales and an interesting concept and stand the test of time. In contrast, Wack 100 feels that Kendrick’s highlighting lesser-known artists while achieving such success is exactly what makes the album special.

This debate reflects a broader discussion among music fans and critics. Is a classic defined by its impact on the culture or how it is remembered years later? Kendrick’s GNX has clearly made a splash, but only time will tell if it will be remembered alongside his earlier masterpieces like good kid, m.A.A.d city and To Pimp a Butterfly. For the moment, GNX is a big triumph for Kendrick and a hot topic for Hip-Hop fans everywhere. Whether or not it’s a classic, Kendrick knows how to keep everyone talking about his music.

Phlo-osophy’s “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” is a thoughtful and relaxing meditation on intellect and existence, packaged with laid-back production that encourages both thought and comfort. The song starts with atmospheric synths and a low-key beat, creating a space that is the laboratory of contemplation.

Phlo-osophy’s lyrical style steers into tough concepts spontaneous physics of thought, the chemistry of emotion — and yet remains highly accessible. The production is the strength of the production: soft, warm textures, synth pads, muted guitar echoes, quiet electronic pulses, cohere into a hushed, private atmosphere.

The result is a song that teeters between heady curiosity and soulful expression. It’s not out to swamp us with complexity, but to suggest a room in which mind and emotion can cohabitate thoughtfully. “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” serves as a signal of Phlo-osophy’s approach as an enlightening artist who writes not only with heart, but with mind and who welcomes the listener on its journey of self-discovery.
