Adam22 Said The big 3 of hip hop media platforms on YouTube are Akademiks, Vlad, and No Jumper
Joe Budden’s channel has gotten 12 million views in the past month. No Jumper’s main channel plus our clips channel has done about 26 or 27 million views for the past month. So, we are two times, by far, what you have going on. And on top of that, we kill it on Facebook. We kill it on Snapchat. We have 3 million followers on Instagram and we make a huge amount of money on there.In no uncertain terms, Adam dismissed Budden's influence, characterizing his operation as nothing more than a "chop shop."”

Joe Budden, I don’t wanna hear sh*t. You’re running a chop shop. You might have the whole hip-hop media gassed into thinking that you’re really killing it like that but trust me, when you wanna talk about who's really doing business out here, it’s not you. There’s a big three and you’re not in it. It's me, Vlad, and that fat motherf*cker you were sitting with.”

While Adam's assertions stirred debate among fans, with some contesting No Jumper's direction, others echoed Adam's sentiments, acknowledging the trio's impact.
Interestingly, Akademiks aligned himself with Adam22's perspective, endorsing the notion that he, along with No Jumper and VladTV, constitute the forefront of hip-hop media. Akademiks downplayed Budden's significance, attributing his influence solely to his acclaimed podcast without broader cultural ramifications.
Akademiks agreed with Adam22: they, NoJumper, and VladTV are top hip-hop media platforms
Akademiks agreed with Adam22 that he, NoJumper, and VladTV are the premier, most progressive hip-hop media platforms. According to Ak, JoeBudden only has the top hip-hop podcast, and it does not affect the daily culture.
