Drake's NWTS still charting as we speak
Dj Akademiks responds to people saying Jay Z’s diss outshined Drake’s entire 3 album drop 👀
“..have yall noticed that aint no big moment in hiphop without one person being the common denominator..”
Jay tried to play it cool but let's keep it 100 — Iceman dragged this man out of retirement AND out of his locks. He cut the hair off, walked back on stage, and grabbed a mic like none of us would notice. We noticed, bro. That's not unbothered. That's bothered with a fresh haircut.
Hook, line, and sinker = The JiG is up!
It took Drake two yrs to respond. He sat back, watched every move, every narrative, every player step back onto the board and then responded with precision.
I was actually worried JayZ wouldn’t respond. Had he stayed silent, people would’ve called it a “boss move,” and spin narratives would have elevated him for being “above it all.”
Instead, he took the bait😭
That’s what makes this so interesting.
For years, many felt J-FZ was part of the larger effort to diminish Drake’s +YM big 3's influence.
Kendrick, Pusha, Meek- different faces, same objective- Drake “elimination”.
Yet when Drake tossed the bait into deep enough water, Jay couldn’t resist it. At some point, when all the other players fail, the person with the most invested in the outcome has to show their hand. J-FZ’s reactive response revealed more than mere investment; I hink it revealed his involvement.
People said Drake was cornered. Yet somehow he’s the one who got everyone else to reveal their hand.
He stayed patient, played the long game, and got a reaction from someone who had every reason not to react, except he shows a vested interest🎯
In life, the person who controls the reaction usually controls the moment-
Drake won the “beef” before it even began.🔽
SpaceX has almost finished writing V1.0 of an in-house AI training stack in C that exact-maps to 220k GB300s with 800G NICs, making heavy use of pipeline parallelism and getting as close to bare metal as possible.
The potential speed improvement vs JAX for large training runs is over an order of magnitude.
Drake said white kids listen to you coz they feel some guilt and that's how your soul gets fulfilled
That song peaked #1 and broke mj record 😭
Generational comeback
