He isn’t a hero, however he is a good voice for the community in terms of shedding light on gang culture, violence, and the hypocrisy of our people who are infatuated with it .. no hero ! But I do stand behind a good amount of what he says no question.
That was excellent. Yes young dudes like King and tooty are under a lot of pressure through no fault of they own because of their fathers. Not sure of the answer on that one.
Bro, this “interview” was awesome but could have been better. A host rambling on a bit about his life story, instead of quickly framing your experience into a question for the guest was a bit odd. The guest, who’s very seasoned had to literally interrupt and inject his own story. The music video was a little distracting and unexpected for an interview on this particular topic. This is why people watch people like Vlad even though we may not like him, his professionalism is on point. He doesn’t make the interview at all about him. He’ll use his experience to frame a question but will keep the focus on the guest. No disrespect, keep going, keep growing my brother. Thank you for sharing with us.
I create my own wave. I will not change anything because I'm an individual. If you want to see that type of set-up how about you start a channel and hire CW. I'll subcribe and watch. Thanks.
@@theemptymanpodcast I acually very much enjoyed how you included your own life experiences into the convo. It makes the interview unique and not like the other CW interviews, kinda like a different flow. Just a great conversation/debate within 2 grown men, keep up the great work!
I'm a white woman and I had a friend in high school,.young black man. He spoke proper English, ran around with his skateboard, liked music that was in no way accepted by the black community. He was called a white boy all the time.I would ask him if that ever bothered him and he would say why would I be bothered by not being accepted by a bunch of idiots?He was strong enough to stand in his truth and was unbothered and we are friends until this day.And hes still the same unapologetic man he was back then.....
🎯🎯 Same happened to me. Grew up in a terrible neighborhood that shamed you for being a "smart kid" while the "cool kids" around me were joining gangs. They approached me and told me what had to happen for me to join. I remember thinking: "I gotta fight all y'all at one time just to hang with y'all??".. I respectfully declined and took my chances out there by myself.. In reality though, that need for acceptance wasn't as strong in me because EVEN THOUGH MY DAD DIDN'T LIVE WITH ME, I knew that when the wknd came, he'd be pulling up in that loud azz old, embarrassing truck 😂 and take me away from that and put me around my real family, brother, cousins, his in-laws, WHOEVER.. and I could count on that sh*t like clockwork and I'll forever be grateful to my father for that.
Facts. I remember being at a party and watching a huge fight break out, one guy from my block had 2 dudes stomping on him as he tried to crawl to the exit. I pulled one of the dudes off him only because he was blocking the door and I was trying to get out. That next day, him and his people went around our hood jumping everybody who was at the party and didn't fight/help. It blew my mind that eventhough this dummy went and started this big melee, I was expected to fight alongside him when I didn't even know his name and wasnt apart of his gang. I only got a pass b/c he remembered that I pulled one guy off him. But it hit me that just being from that hood, I was "in" a gang.
Years ago there was a challenge that went viral called the "Knock out challenge" were young black boys randomly knocked out elderly people..Well some elderly will respond back with deadly force..Ti son and Tootie remind me of those kid of kids.
these are discussions that need to be had. there are too many young, black boys and girls peer pressured into being accepted. those who are bullies in the hood are hurt people, and hurt people will hurt other people. the cycle will continue until more of us speak up, and do something different.
Wow! 0:30 to 1:10, is exactly what I went thru for years growing up. When I went to visit my grandmother all the kids in the neighborhood teased me- saying, "you talk like yt people." Fast forward to high school, my sophomore year- I begged my mother to let me go to Jack Yates- a black high school close to my grandmother's house. Finally, she let me go. From the time I got there; I constantly heard- " you talk so proper, like a yt girl, ha ha ha, you can't even cuss right." (from the girls and guys)... I did not dress like my peers. I was basically business casual almost everyday. The guys liked me ( the preppiest, most popular, valedictorian and athletes)- and the girls hated me. Although, I had crushes, I wasn't into dating at all. There were times that I'd be in the bathroom mirror practicing to sound more black- just to fit in- how crazy is that?? Although I'm fluent in both now- 🤣😂🤣 I dance to my own beat! I never told my mother any of this.
Im white and it's beautiful to see a educated black dude speak facts and put the community on notice. All these rappers do is disrespect their own and put that influence on young kids. Bout damn time 💯
Exactly, unfortunately this is a common story..I was a oreo, white girl, etc etc...thankfully I was raised on Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba, and, many great leaders who were articulate, educated, thought provoking. So I knew not to define my blackness as a ghetto caricature that I was not...we need to be educated on our greatness, so we don't settle for mediocrity.
There is a difference between you and King. You were just a kid in the hood. King was born with a silver, gold and diamond spoon. King has been embraced because of his parents status! Big, big difference. Many blessings. #SheisMonaLisa314
King prolly still have a bunch of thug ass cousins in Atlanta that he hang around. Just cause his daddy rich and he should be able to realize he don’t have to live like that. But he probably still wants to cause he sees his cousins acting like that and wants to feel like he’s apart of the group. He can still be influenced even tho he’s rich. Just like how a lot of kids who grew up in the suburbs still wanna be hood, or lie ab where they originally from etc, happens all the time. Still aint right tho.
I think this podcast put something on Charleston's mind in regards to TI and Boosie's sons. I can see CW being much lighter on them and sympathizing with how they are acting out. 👍🏾
@@willie417 no all of them don't. We've never heard of a great majority of rich, famous kids acting out. These dudes just don't have a handle on raising their sons especially TI kid. These kids are spoiled brats.
@@torrenceanderson4326 I bet they do, they just keep it under wraps better and if they're not in entertainment, we'll more likely will never hear about it
@@willie417 agreed but that being said TI needs to be a man over his house and keep his sons bullcrap behavior out of the spotlight but it's too late for that because if you haven't started disciplining your kid early on, you can't wait till they are 16 and 17. It's over! Who goes around embarrassing his family the way he does? A kid that hasn't gotten disciplined at home. Evidently the other entertainers done taught their kids, "f%&k around and find out if you want to" and they know that their parents mean business from being raised that way.
@@torrenceanderson4326 the question is who was taking care of him, while TI and Tiny was out touring getting that money and he TI was making movies, coming home for a few weeks and then hitting the road again, a lot can and will be kept away from you, I saw that boy, he's a mamma's boy's
King and Tootie display behavior they feel is expected of them based on what they hear and see from their fathers and their associates compounded with the lyrics they rap, they both have brothers, but it seems they are the most like what their fathers portray.
First time I heard an interviewer be able to have a good back and forth with Charleston instead of all listening. More of 2 equals talking than Charleston teaching
King don’t get no pass your upbringing and his are different he was born with a silver spoon king trying to be gangster nowadays is putting his other siblings in harms way bottom line TI should’ve put his 18 year old in his privileged place
YOU CAN 💯 JUST LIKE WOMEN CAN STOP 🛑 DATING BUMS AND JAILBIRDS, AND DL METRO's PASSING UP DECENT HONORABLE MEN who aren't conformed by societies backwards standards. Issue is although we wish and hope no one is doing it. So ig that's cw's whole point.
If women started saying how much they liked nerds and men with they head on their shoulder I guarantee that would make a huge shift in the thug dynamic… of course it’s not their fault but think about how much women are constantly boasting how they want a thug, love hood dudes, etc. a lot of these fellas do this solely to be seen by women ….
Not that he beat CW, he did what Kevin gates, made him positively look at something another way. He might have just squashed the beef with TI with this interview. I'm pretty sure he looks at king situation different now
Great Inerview, job well done. Change title or this video will appear as all them old videos that everyone has watched from the beginning of this fall out. Perhaps "CW on King and Tootie Gangsta Rap Lineage"
I feel the host. When i was younger i liked skate boarding my mom a college professor so i spoke properly but the black kids at my school made fun of me for that. I wanted to be accepted so bad i got jumped into a gang started selling dope went to jail n became a completed different person than who i really was
Charleston no hero no way 😂he should be looking at the record company owners talk about them not a young man that high under pressure to be fly Charleston was probably way worse
As a group home kid I can relate to that and what's so foul is the PLETHORA of older black men that REFUSE to pull us to the side and say "Nah bro trades make real money." Why? Because if we go into trades and industry they lil money flow stop so they'll LEAD you to prison, death, and torment of ya soul just to keep small change in THEIR pocket because they not man enough to admit they didn't find a better way...
I love Charleston but how are you 19 or 20 smashing somebody's wife but you did 12 years in the juvenile system for your part in a guy being killed when you were 14! That would make him 26 years old when he got out of jail or wherever he was at! Some stuff ain't adding up!
Truth: BMale make fun of other bm for not being degenerates They make fun of them for being smart This is the culture I like CW because he focuses on Men and what men need to do and not projecting men issues on women Because that’s damn exhausting!! Talk amongst men, fix things amongst men Admit the truths Most males aren’t assisting In raising their sons to be good Guys and the culture isn’t any better in what it offers for males However women are getting the blame for what men should be doing All the while wlmen aren’t leaving and abandoning their childrn despite The circumstances They’re doing what they can
Realizing you didn't see it from that person's,s perspective is very humbling. Charleston realizing that probably is spark of change those young fellas need.
As a black square quiet kid from the hood that loved history and to read books I DO NOT RELATE to these type of situations . I found my own circle of friends did not try to fit in crowds that didn't want me and neither did I want to be in that crowd .stood on my own square and did my own thing . I was the kid who stayed in the projects .we were bussed to school with whites and suburbanites . The people didn't believe I stayed in the projects and when I went home to the hood I wasn't bullied are beat up by my people .the people who I PERSONALLY know that feel like the brother were trying to fit in with the cool crowd that rejected them repeatedly like fools . Instead of being cool in their own skin ..
He not lying I was smart growing up I lived in a community of all minorities. My mom use to beat our ass if we sagged our pants or acted like we couldn’t speak proper English. We moved to a better community mostly whites but the black people that were there judge us and would say “ there’s no way your from Chicago and you talk yt “ . It made me want to be excepted so bad I wouldn’t talk full sentences and I started skipping school and not doing my homework. As an adult I’m starting to work on my masters degree in college and when I see my old black friends they’re asking for help
all of those rich kids act out, about 20 years ago Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie was out there acting out everywhere, even Dwyane Wade boy is acting out, but with D wade not noticing what was going on and that Demon wife of his in the picture pushing it, his acting out went to far, now he finally got pop's attention, yeah, pop's showing a interest in him, by supporting him, but his boy took it to the point of no return, you can play the game but you better know when to stop
Clearly this is a habit of his bcus he has disrespected a lot of people he doesn't kno. He was fucking with them it's not his place & the first video he only said T.I. Boosie so people knew he was talking about their kids.
No black man wants to do what they do but if u gonna point out the issue u have to go to the root. Why did so many men not feel love? Bcus no parents were around & that was due to drugs & crime put in by the system to destroy homes. How did gangs thugging get viewed as cool bcus it started as family. But agents planted told them about selling drug guns killing for profit. As Kayne doing if u not gone point out real issues stfu continue being part the system.
I think charleston lied about that story of him being 19,20 wanting to fight a drug dealer over his wife because he say he didn't get out the boys home til he was 21
Sir you seem to be have been a good wholesome child. King is a little ungrateful somebody he was raised mostly by his Meemaw to my understanding she let him do whatever he wanted to and when you do that you spoil the child. Those other children don't act nothing like him.
Im a country nigga that played football but because I decided to be top 10 in my class love anime and science blacks never accepted me. But now those same people try to use me as an example
I love to listen to this man talk but he needs to lighten up on the N@#$a word. It's hard to inspire someone if you using words that have negative meanings
