The world is in peril and, doing the right thing, Brooklyn rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine pushed back his new music release another week. Now is not the time to be dropping, unless you're speaking on what's happening during the protests.

As we continue to fight for change and an end to systemic racism and police violence, Tekashi 6ix9ine decided that the next best thing to do was to provide people entertainment as only he knows how: by trolling and getting back together with DJ Akademiks.

The rapper teamed up with his good buddy for a 45-minute live-stream, where they discussed everything from Blueface's one-hit-wonder status, Trippie Redd and his ex-girlfriend, their love for the late Pop Smoke, and more. They even mimicked YK Osiris' cringe-worthy boxing skills by facing off against each other and earning tons of face-palm emojis in the comments.

"Who’s behind this ridiculousness?" asked Royce Da 5'9", reposting a video of their bout.

One of the high points from the Live session -- if you can believe that there were any -- came when Tekashi spoke about fellow Brooklyn talent Pop Smoke.

"I'm actually a fan of the kid," he says. "Rest in peace, Pop Smoke. Listen, they shouldn't have done that. That was a great talent from New York City. And I think, to be honest with you, he was the fresh New York City."
