People need to be responsible for their own actions. They know the camera is on so stand on everything that comes out your mouth, don’t blame vlad for it.
I fully agree with what you're saying, the interviewer is there to ask questions and see what questions you will answer and hopefully get some juice out of you so it becomes a really good interview that many want to watch or it goes viral. Vlad is not there to put people in prison he's there so they can share their lifestories and share personal stuff and what album they're working on and how their life is going
Unfortunately accountability isn’t a big thing in our communities. Honestly that’s the whole base of snitching. “Me doing something wrong isn’t wrong…The real wrong is you saying I did wrong.”
They all sound like they playing the victim perspective. There’s several interview where he’s ask a question, then they say they don’t wanna speak on it and Vlad will say ok we will move on .
Vlad has no respect for black people! If he knows he is wrong about misquoting Farrakhan and can't apologize for that, the he is just an opportunist looking to capitalize of black people.
Peewee Longway was one of the best interviews with how much he didn't say. Glad asked him questions and Peewee artfully dodged them. Glad respected his non answers and moved on.
Another example why us as black people are at the bottom. Old dusty grown men not taking accountability 🤦🏿♂️ if you are grown man snitching on yourself on camera YOU DESERVE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU
A lot of interesting takes in this video. It’s cool to see a group of people have such different opinions and still remain civil. Math Hoffa on the way ☝🏻
When a kid makes the decision to jump off the porch and enter the game, he’s a grown man. That’s ALWAYS been the rules of the streets… So they should know the rules from that moment on and abide by them. PERIOD!!!
Yeah, everyone is a tough gangster until they face prison time. A lot of these guys doing long time never had the chance to cooperate to ease their sentencing. They may have taken pleas. If they are so bad ass, why take a plea? Go to trial, blow it and do your time. Running the streets is NOT like being in jail or prison. The thought of 7 plus years away from your family, kids, girlfriend/Wife....the food you love, sleep etc... will make a lot of so called MEN fold and become boys. I hate hearing people talk about "CODES" or "RULES".
@@jayleblanc3598 what u mean if u so gangsta go to trial and don’t take a plea? I can tell u never been thru anything illegal and that’s cool. But when u know ur guilty of something and they caught u, best thing u can do is take a plea. You’ll be a fool to go to trial.
I have no sympathy for someone who’s ignorant enough to snitch on themselves because they’re prideful about their life of crime. We can’t continue to make excuses for everything. Foh
And this is the most Sensible comment on this video. 👏 if you can't talk about anything else but crime you actively doing than you need to learn how to hold an Adult conversation and be versatile
It’s the fact that Vlad immediately asks pointed questions about illegal activities and keeps applying pressure for every interview and NEVER asks the artist about their music or talents
I’m disgusted by the black man saying Vlad isn’t white, and he’s acting very obtuse saying Vlad being white doesn’t play a role! Hell him being white is the sole role!!!!!!!!
@@IAmHeartbreak_ no he was insinuating that culturally Vlad is black that within itself is a problem, Vlad is and will always be white , our culture doesn’t start or end with hip hop.
@@KingUnique_ while I personally don't agree with that, We're all entitled to out own opinions and interpretations. Appreciate you replying with your perspective with me 🙌🏾
Math applying a bit of pressure and asking follow up questions is funny because he’s doing the same thing. The more you talk, the more views I get. It simple. He just asked Vlad to disclose a name and Vlad simply responded “off camera I’ll tell you. Not right now” THATS ALL EVERYONE WHO GOES ON VLAD TV HAS TO DO. You’re responsible for how you response, not for what you were asked.
Vlad is an old ass man and a professional that seen many of young blk men get locked up or into some ish right after his interview’s.. you think he’s going to fall for the TRAP …That’s like comparing the TMZ guy to others that got caught on camera, you think you gon catch doing bull on film ummm NOOO
@@moneymitch4762 Ok and if you’re really a hood dude in the streets doing dirt, you gonna say what you doing on camera? IDGAF if GOD HIMSELF ASK ME. Ya can’t keep sticking up for people who go on public platforms to snitch on themselves.
@@jeffm1083 and you don’t understand that you’re defending grown men who are grown enough to do what they do but don’t know any better to not answer a question that can put them in jail. At some point we gotta start holding ourselves accountable.
@@deebrown1113 its because he uses that as a point to say for that alone if the feds wanted to look into him they could but he clean so nothing to hide these dudes do interviews talking bout too much shit thats current and wonder why the feds start looking into itb
Like I always say VLAD does the interview and it’s up to the people being interviewed to answer his questions!!!! I’ve seen plenty of people tell vlad nah I can’t talk about that and they move to the next question
Are we honestly, as a community, going to continue to blame everything on everyone else? At some point we gotta take responsibility and accountability for shit. So, whose fault is it when these guys go online and brag about their actions and crimes on their OWN insta, twitter, you tube whatever? We still blame others when they do that! Instead of being mad people are "snitching on themselves" on his platform, how about we get rid of this bullshit that it's okay to do the shit they're snitching about? I'm tired of us celebrating criminals and crimes and bad behavior. Its time for us to stop screaming free him and start screaming do better.
Fr man. Let’s face the facts, these rappers go on these interviews and they try uphold their reputation whether that be street cred or industry cred. They do the same thing in the streets and in their music videos
I've been Saying this for yrs...."they put drugs in our communities"...do u have to sell and use them? "They give us guns" ....do you have to kill each other? "They only put out negative movies and music" but that's all we support and consume, this thinking is absolutely pathetic and makes ups look extremely ignorant
I feel like half the people that say "Vlad is the feds" are just repeating what they see others say, they won't change their mind no matter what, it's a meme at this point.
@@hmosesmamulu6491 TBH I think it's more related to street codes like the no-snitching thing than actually Hip-Hop itself, of course the 2 were always intertwined.
Well Vlad is smart and he knows how to exploit. He's usually smarter than the people he is interviewing and the person on the couches main objective is solely marketing and publicity. So with that said Vlad doesn't get a pass. He's not helping. His guests need to be educated.
Peace and Blessings to Math and his crew, I constantly been watching your clips from Cali while I'm on dialysis. Great job, flowers to you and keeping the culture positive.
@@Malik.lockley exactly...he asks incriminating questions without any true authentic connection to those he interviewed... he's profiting off all the black artist but not implementing support in those communities that they are from
Great Segment. Loved the debate. My thoughts- They are putting way too much responsibility on Vlad. There's too much expectation. Simply put it...VladTV is an entertainment platform like TMZ. His responsibility/loyalty is to his brand and content. The people that watch Vlad WANT to know those nitty gritty questions that can & be seen as incriminating. The responsibility relies solely on the individuals. The interviewees aren't being brought into a room and talking their whole life and not seeing a hidden camera. They are in a whole studio with bright lights plus the set up. The agenda is not hidden. Therefore, moral of the story...don't incriminate yourself for views, clout and buzz. Either you refuse to answer the question, spend money to get media trained to answer questions to avoid consequences or better all together...no interviews. Added note: Vlad spoke about 60 minutes and how that's how he tries to tie himself to that form of interviewing. That style is known as investigative journalism. There are no morals, only the story. So if you're a rapper looking for support from Vlad to tell you what to say or what not to say. Vlad is connecting the dots as you speak as his aim is to investigate the story, not the destruction that may come to you after
TMZ biggest content isn’t from black or brown skin folks. America loves a mob story but if it comes from hood/ghetto then it’s looked down on. Everybody got some responsibility
@@MulletMike tmz will go after a black or brown but tmz is more concerned about big stories, stories that's going to have national interest, which you are right most black and brown folks are not up there on the average yet.
You're 100% correct, but I believe the problem people have with him is because he trys to play naive. If that's his platform and content he brings, cool. But own it and be real about it.
I respect Vlad for doing this show. Math has really made some connections over the years. He really doesn’t need to battle unless it somehow helps his own RU-vid page
Big up, Math! These interviews are so on point. Funny shit...shit comes full circle. Your interviews on his platform are some of the funniest shits out! Keep moving this way!
@@andreboxley1137 Mecca! or MrMecca. He used to write for Source and is currently...not exactly sure what his title is but he seems to be a go-to for those looking to monetize their music creations and content. Check him out!
So they're kids but out there shooting, and making babies, and generating $hundreds of thousands? Nah. But Vlad does sometimes raise some odd questions, but most interviewers do that's part of their job. Cause Vlad is caucasian he catches some flack when black itnerviewers often do the same type of questioning.
Going on VLAD is 100% voluntary. If he has this fed reputation don’t go on his show it’s so simple. There are so many other black creators and journalists that you can support. You can’t complain about his messaging and leverage his platform at he same time.
Anyone who is paying taxes, able to vote, able to buy smoke and liquor at the store is able to make critical decision. It’s not vlad fault or any outlets fault if they choose to expose themselves. The more we shelter this young immature artist the more they going to feel entitled to get away with things instead of looking it head on.
I've always thought this argument was a bit ridiculous. You can't hold Glad responsible for what these dudes say. You can't even reasonably expect him to take take down or edit certain interviews at the request of a guest(though to his credit, he does do/has done this.) And it's not like Vlad is any different from any other interviewer, he's just got a bigger platform and does more interviews(and much more "intimate", in depth types of interviews.)
Also you never see rappers straight up laying down on the couch on those other platforms (big pause). I feel like Vlad is a lot of rapper’s therapists lol
I understand what bro was saying at 16:00. Ed Lover did it to Pac in an MTV raps interview by covering Pacs mouth, not allowing him to incriminate himself any further. I think this is the ideal that some people live by when speaking on journalists, especially journalists who say they care about the hip hop culture. They want people like Vlad to have a guardian approach. Protect the artists or whomever from themselves. Cover their mouths if you have to. Dr. Dre and Ed Lover set the stage for that in hip hop back in the early 90s.
So water down the content and make it boring? If someone is dumb enough to snitch on themselves in an interview it’s their own responsibility and no one else’s. Vlad shouldn’t have to be grown black peoples father and control what they say. You’re literally treating black people like they’re mentally handicapped and don’t have control over what they say or do.
@@Parialated Thats not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying that sometimes you have to intervene in situations to help a person out. I don't know many people who can stand by and watch someone they care about walk off the side of a skyscraper without at least asking what they are doing. At the same time if they are adamant about jumping off that skyscraper, what can you really do? In the end it's the trying that counts.
When og said vlad is not white .. vlad sitting there like " I should have been did this show. THANK GOD" Lol..LOL... his face is priceless..excellent stuff hoffa
Bkuz his actions point towards him being a vulture and having anterior motives...watch his old videos, his questions are always framed towards incriminating his guest!
@@j2da That’s his lane. He wants the controversial stuff. And fans of his show want it too. Wether they want to admit it or not. There’s a reason why he has almost 5 million subscribers. There’s a reason why the Casanova video has 3.6 million views. It’s not because Vlad is asking what their hopes and dreams are.
Because an actual fan and journalist would have at more than basic knowledge. Thats like me saying im a hardrock fan but only know Metallica and AC/DC. If you look at guys like Nardwuar, or that other whiteguy (Sean something i think) When they interview their guests its usually about their music (not their criminal past) and they know about their albums, who produced it, get the timelines correct and even things that the avarage fan dosent know why? Because they did their research. Its disrespectful to the proffession and to the artform not to. Thats the reason why people see him as a poser and a culture vulture, simply because he is. Nobody is "hating" on vlad. I dont pay the mans bills so i have no right to tell him how to get his money, same as if you were a scammer, selling drugs or rob banks. Unless im paying your bills i have no right to tell you how to get your money, wether its right or wrong. Vlad figured out a way to get paid, simple as that, get your money. 🤷🏾♂️
Vlad has zero responsibility. Yeah he asks the questions but he doesnt force you to answer. Same if a cop asks those questions you know not to answer. Truth is some dese rappers just clout chasers.
Police to Rapper: Do you Sell Drugs & have you killed Someone? Rapper: No Comment‼️ Vlad: Do you Sell Drugs & have you killed Someone? Rapper: I sell Heroin in Chicago and have Killed 2 People in Philly last Week on 51st Street
Thought he had caine but it was gold made of flour "Vlad you never bought a key you just said he got you so he sold you bullshit " nice try though!!!😂😂😂😂
I don’t think Vlad is an agent and on payroll per say however I do feel he indirectly asks self-incriminating questions that can often lead to a case being built up..
Bottom line is this is! long as VLAD been doing these interviews etc you know what ends up happening and people choose to still go on his platform it’s your choice but don’t cry wolf 🐺 he’s going to make his money reguardless if cares about the culture or not.
Doesn't still mean Vlad isn't an agent. Yes those people that go on his platform should know better. But Vlad knows better to. And the real bottom line is, Vlad can't be trusted and he is a suspected White supremacist.
Black people care about their culture far less. Don’t get it twisted. If black people cared about “the culture” rappers wouldn’t be encouraging children to take up arms for colors and money. Sad reality of life is when you point a finger always remember there’s 4 pointing right back at u.
this convo was dope af to have and hear Vlad get his side out finally, cuz you see alot of cats under his vids talking bout how Vlad this and Vlad that and woo woo but never fully understand the going ons behind the scenes.
Any single person that claims they are the biggest gangster of any hood/project is a complete clown. Yea, ok Casanova, you were the most thuggin, gangsta, shotta of all time
@craig Mills; That's the overall problem with our people. We tend to uplift and glorify "thuggin" "calling our sisters out of their names" and "gangsterism," but yet, we look down on education. When foreigners come to our country, they tend to take advantage of education, while at the same time, we are still conducting "rap battles." It's time to wake up and start advancing. The Holy Scriptures clearly states, "My people will be destroyed for lack of knowledge" (See Hosea Ch 4 Verse 6 KJV).
Yeah I agree Mecca was the only one making sense. He sees it how I do. It’s not Vlad fault these dudes are running their mouth. But Vlad KNOWS this and instead of changing up the interview to prevent this from happening. He allows it. And that’s what Mecca was explaining saying this is why he catches the flak. I 100% agree with it.
If you as an adult go on a platforms and chat your business you deserve to get locked up. As for these idiots asking to take down a video once it's public, good luck that shit has been downloaded thousands of time. Internet download manager is the best tool btw.
We weren't looked as human. That's why we go to the extreme at times . Want to brag and boast. Society has told us we were nothing for years. But we must be smarter than that.
Yall stressing Vlad about interviews, when the Feds taking down rap/gangs based on social media posts should Instagram be held accountable for their posts.
I got lost with the argument on whether Vlad is white. He's absolutely white. He may be Jewish... but he's also white. And there is a conversation to be had about a white man benefiting off of cultural dysfunction that primarily impacts Black people.
Is there? So is it better for Black people to benefit from cultural dysfunction which is essentially what a lot of these rappers do. But you are upset that Vlad had the foresight to use journalism to get rich, while these same Black people exploit Hip Hip and run to him for years for interviews?
@@akaspon1 I'm not upset about anything. What these rich, unethical, immoral people do is not my business, just participating in discourse. I'm just saying that there is a conversation to be had about white people benefiting off of Black cultural dysfunction whether it be Vlad, label execs fueling beefs that end in death, promoting drug/gang culture etc and various other elements that they don't experience or know anything about. & the opposite side of that argument is not that it's better for Black people to benefit. That's a separate conversation.
@@EargasmEnt It just sounds like "business" to me. Black people volunteer to be a part of these scenarios like every other person does in a attempt to earn a living. The irony to me is that when we work with each other, Black people, we do the same grimy, unethical, shifty shit to each other. So is this really about "White people" doing it, or about how money drives society to do whatever it takes to have it? You mention promoting gang culture as an example. Who are the ones creating the actual gang culture to "promote"? I see Snoop on National TV pushing crip agenda on a daily basis for corporations. So is this all about White people and they are to blame, or are we just ok with being dysfunctional and allowing people to exploit it? That is all I am saying. If there is nothing to actually exploit, then there wouldn't be an issue.
Personal responsibility matters! You can't hold others accountable for the things you say and do. These rappers tell all their business in a song, and no one flinches. They say the same thing in a Vlad interview, suddenly its Vlad's fault. Vlad has his faults, true, but he is not responsible for other people's speech and behavior.
Every culture has loudmouths. It's about telling your story at the right time and circumstance. People with active cases need not apply, people still in the streets need not apply. Other cultures tell their stories on camera and through movies as well but AT THE RIGHT TIME.
Love the show... all I'mma say it that I knew Bigga would have a perspective that no one expected... dope talk.. ready for the whole interview... these pieces ain't gonna cut it...!!!
you dont know that he’s a “european” jew. He’s russian which is mostly in asia and a lot of russia migrated originally from other parts of asia, especially the jews, he ethnically could be more middle eastern/central asian then european. He might not have any european genes in him. stop spewing ignorance.
The question I would've asked Vlad is how come when all these rappers go on a these other 100 platforms, the conversation is not the same. Why is it only on Vlad TV the energy and conversation is always about negativety and criminal topics?
Because the other platforms are terrible journalists. Vlad asks his guests about public information. If you rap about killing people then don’t get mad when an interviewer asks you about it. Stop being a victim and you might get somewhere in life.
Vlad knows exactly what he's doing. He knows these dudes will come on and talk crazy. Black trauma is entertainment to him and others. He doesn't care what he airs as long as his name doesn't come back. He gets off on this sh*t. Low key he wishes he was black.
Explaining the dynamics of hip hop culture vs. the status quo to a man who presumes to be an advocate of hip hop is the one of the greatest demonstrations of why certain races are guests in the house of HipHop. These 24 minutes need to be shown from the UK to China.
I know the N.O.I. is mad at Vlad. But now you have to hold everything accountable. I never saw this interview coming from Math. I'm glad that black people are fair. I hope that we are given the same mercy. You can't knock the hustle. Its good that you let that man tell his side of the story. Maybe Math Hoffa transcends a lot of the negative fuckery that goes on today. Keep up the good work.
Bigga is right. Race wise he would be classified as white but he is Russian. I tell you what, go tell an African, he is black and watch what he tells you.
Fellow American is obviously exposing who he is being so offended by what I said shows he must be one of those who wants to be white and wants to identify as white but he’s not don’t argue it with me fellow American go argue it With me argue it with the aryans.
It's so funny to watch those rappers act so arrogant and hard, but when they appear on Vlad Tv,You find out that they don't have Street Smarts at all. The only intelligent Rapper that Vlad couldnt play was Peewee Longway.
