DJ Akademiks hailed Kai Cenat's unique approach to streaming, emphasizing his ability to forge genuine connections with artists like Nicki Minaj without resorting to controversial topics. Vlad noted the ingenuity of streamers like Cenat who create compelling live experiences, mitigating the issue of content piracy that plagues traditional YouTubers. Akademiks explained that Cenat's talent lies in transforming his streaming setup, often multi-hour sessions, into a platform where artists can showcase their lighter, more personable sides. He cited memorable interactions with Nicki Minaj and Kevin Hart as examples, praising Cenat for bringing out their "youthful exuberance." According to Akademiks, Cenat’s style represents a revolutionary shift in streaming, combining hip-hop's core elements with a broader, more improvisational approach. This innovative method, Akademiks argued, is key to Cenat’s success and his ability to resonate with both artists and viewers alike.
