MC Eiht Reveals How He & DJ Quik Ended 6-Year-Long Beef

[Blood$]

Vlad got beat up by Rick Ross lmao

but yeah even though he's a clown can't deny the rawness that comes out of his interviews

[abusive]

Don't know why there is so much hate for Vlad. What other major (he has over one million youtube subscribers) platform is interviewing Mc Eiht, Cam, Alonzo or BG Knocc Out etc. I'll wait........... So you really expect real gangsters to do interviews now? I don't see the logic in dissing him because he's not from the streets. The interviews have been on point for the most part, very informative. You should be happy that the WestCoast is getting some shine because you may like platforms like The Breakfast Club better but guess what, they wouldn't have half of the artist you love on there.

For me it's not hate for Vlad, it's a lot of the stuff blasphemy was so spot on about. How he acts, constantly validating who he has interviewed and etc, and just a pet peeve for me is how at times he does not do his homework with who he is interviewing. Breakfast Club for the most part does beforehand.

I knew the NWA interviews were coming from SOMEONE with the movie coming out, I was hoping throwback ones like this would be from Dubcnn, What Vlad is doing, Dubcnn was doing 10 years ago, so alot of these stories we already know because of this site, WCRydaz, etc. That is why you can tell Vlad won't quote a site he got information from. But at the same time there's a whole new generation that has no idea on all of this and for that I am cool with Vlad doing this, especially in a video format. We have been spoiled with publications like this or others in the past so for anyone to come behind that and do a interview it's tough

I agree with this point completely. Most rap interviewers are pretty ignorant, or at least pretend to be, with the exception of Sway and Big Boy.

As for expecting the interviewer to be a gangster, that too is comical. The only time a REAL nigga had an interview show was back when WC was interviewing people on his little online show called Dub's Corner, I think. It was really dope, but I'm pretty sure it's now defunct.

All I know is that I'm grateful to Vlad for creating all these interviews. And it's worth acknowledging that I'm sure he's indirectly done a lot for people like Tray Deee, whose interview got more than a million views. Some of those views had to translate into sales for Tray Deee, and that's definitely good for the West Coast music scene in general.

You guys keep saying the NWA movie. Vlad is on some west coast ish and has been for awhile. What does Mc Eiht, Crooked i, Freeway Rick Ross, Morpreme Shakur or The Horseshoe Gang have to do with the movie. I'll wait.....

You mention Dubcnn doing interviews but they don't get the attention that Vlad's gets, hence the million subscribers mention. When does a interview from dubcnn ever go viral? Again, I'll wait........... Not to take anything away from them or the J Mix's of the world. I watch it all.

Breakfast Club does their homework to a certain extent and Vlad does have his flaws but I don't want to argue over that. But again, most of the artist that you love wouldn't even have a chance to go on that show even if they reached out to them. So why keep bigging them up or clowning the ones who do have them on? You have to speak for yourself as fas as knowing alot if this history. I personally didn't but I get your point.

No doubt. I really enjoyed the Tray Dee series too. Very informative and I look forward to the rest of the Mc Eiht series. One thing everyone has to keep in mind is that Vlad has to have a certain amount of respect for real dudes to keep doing business with him. Some of the artist we have discussed don't even really do interviews like that so for them to mess with Vlad says something.

I'm not expecting him to be gangster, but it's disturbing how he Fetishes the Gang stuff, it's also clear as day he doesn't give a shit because if he really did he would know a lot of these stories. Especially because he grew up during that era, that stuff was talked in Radio interviews back then, even some of it had news coverage. You can tell he's sheltered by his reaction to what a lot of the stuff they're talking about. Look at the Music to Driveby interview, look at the Slim Jesus interview were he's using his interviews to act like he's had connection to the streets. He asked Tray Dee what the Crip community felt on something I think it was celebrity gang membership or some weird shit.

Then he talks about two other groups of people feuding in the clubs dealing with gangs and he tries to act like his life was endanger, and then to top it off. He believes every gangmember has to be a hardcore killer. Vlad is the type of sheltered person who watches Menace II Society and believes every gangbanger is a straight up murderer, dealing drugs, pimping and lowriding. When anyone involved with that element knows that is not always the case, that it depends on the set and all that shit.

This is a guy who honestly believes N.W.A Influenced gangbanging, the only thing N.W.A influenced was wiggers like Vlad and there interest in the streets. Look how he pushed Slim Jesus, interview after interview chasing views like a crackhead chasing a high.  He may be a fan of the music, but he doesn't actually give a shit about why it came about, nor the true history. He's the type of wigger who's going to know Tupac's California Love song, but most likely didn't even cope his first album when tupac dropped.

Also I don't like the Breakfast club, I feel there entire process isn't enlightening and is mere baiting and is just pushing products. I will give Vlad props in the regard he actually does dig into the bigger questions, he does allow the people who's interviewing to explain themselves with no pressure, nor no real agenda (like pushing an Album). My only issue with him is he again he's a culture vulture trying to pass himself off as a real fan, so he can sell his brand as "by a fan for the fans", and disturbing obsession with Gang Life, Gays and Trannys, and porn.  


Edit: For the record, I Believe dubcnn fell off hard on interviews. It's basically an Archive site.

I'm subscribed to 179 you-tube channels 99.9% are Hip Hop and some of them do interviews. Everything you are saying about Vlad is common in the interview game. Frorbezdvd is on some 90's East Coast Hip Hop ish, Combat Jack don't seem to know ish about Southern and West Coast Hip Hop, this site is West Coast Hip Hop and mainly 90's etc. I give White Label Radio its props because the host knows the music across the board but he seems to be mainly 90's too. It's rare to have a platform where the host is well versed from the late 70's to today going from the East, West and South. Even with that what about international Hip Hop? No one can do it all.

As far as NWA influencing gang banging, That's something that Alonzo said in his interview with Vlad.

As far as NWA influencing gang banging, That's something that Alonzo said in his interview with Vlad.

even if it's 99.9% rap interviewers it still hold true, only reason we're singling Vlad out is because he's the current sub-topic of this discussion.

Alonzo articulated that wrong, Gang banging grew because of the drugs, originally it was just representing the neighborhood, but when drugs (mainly crack) got involved and people realize they can make a profit and get nice cloths and cars and shit that's what increased the gangbanging. Gangbanging and Drug dealing were two different things, you could be both or one or the other, but the gangs in L.A. was so established at the time, you couldn't be a drug dealer without some type of affiliation (security issues). It was like that all over California at the time.The movie "Colors" held more influence in the criminal landscape then N.W.A had, because by the time N.W.A had come out gangbanging/hoods was already established, the main causes of Violence at the time was issues over Drug territories and profits. CRASH and the batterram was already all over the hood fucking people up down there in the Southland. What N.W.A influenced and I think Alonzo believes or at least was trying to get across was N.W.A made people who didn't have any real connection to that environment want to gangbang and be hood.


Because before that people in the burbs was listening to Rock/Funk/ a bunch of other Genres not really talking about street shit, so in turn neither were they. if they weren't around that element or had no one in connection to that element they had no information on it outside of the body count in the local news. So when N.W.A came out and started talking from the perspective of remorseless gangsterism and using the slang in the hood, people in the burbs got addicted because they saw it and consumed it like a movie.  Because it's in a song the reality of what N.W.A was speaking about got lost on em, it's also why they missed the point of N.W.A's records like gangsta gangsta or dopeman, or even the Straight outta compton video. While the group was rebellious they obviously knew what they were talking about was basically throwing your life away, hence SOC gangsterism was realistic in terms of dealing with reality.


Gangsta Gangsta was from the perspective of a banger everyone knows that, but no body realizes or at least fails to understand Cube's character ends up in jail and still has that ruthless mentality despite the fact he's most likely locked up for what he did in the song, and his life is over Eazy's verse was to portray that even none bangers held this mentality and it generally was what the streets was on.

Dope man ends with him getting smoke and reeking havoc in his community.

Then the Straight Outta Compton video, you have em all talking this hardcore shit and in the end the Police are just fucking em up throwing em in jail making all that talk pointless.

When Cube left N.W.A went from talking about realistic ideas and concepts and just wanted to make music to push the envelope and see how much they can piss conservatives off. That's why post Cube they started making sex records like Luther Campbell, obviously Eazy E's direction as you can see he still pushed that comedic shit in his solo, while Dr. Dre returned to the more realistic stuff (and Cube's ended up getting more serious and political until he return to his original writing style).

Anyways, so N.W.A. was always talking about real shit, but the Media/Politicians only saw them as "Thugs" who were bragging about crime, while the White Masses who actually bought the records because they were fans saw the music in the vain of SCARFACE or Goodfellas. Meanwhile the people who were actually in that situation loved it because they were in those situation, and even then the street community was partially split because they believe the Rappers had basically stolen there identity and was using things they done to get rich. This is why you have projects like "Banging on Wax".

It's also why on wax N.W.A never claimed a specific set, Eazy straight up says "I don't slang or bang" however him and Ren was the only two validated guys from a set (Cube was an associate of a crip set, Yella's affiliation is unknown, and Dr. Dre wasn't street in any way). Ice T was the same way (he was a crip), and even Schooly D kept the PSK thing vague. just the way it was.

Because back then rappers weren't suppose to be gangbanging and vice versa, N.W.A opened the door for that.

That's why in the early to mid 90s a bunch of gang affiliated rappers started to come out and openly represent there set.

The history is complex and Vlad doesn't understand that despite the fact he constantly claims he was around it and was a witness to the events that happened. He was just a fan, and he's trying to use the people he interviews to try and attach himself onto there entire movement. All he did was buy a record, he didn't understand none of the politics that went around those records, he didn't understand the politics around the streets, he didn't understand all that shit. He just now discovered Ice Cube wasn't a gangbanger, despite the fact ice cube stated in interviews he didn't do that, interviews on Yo MTV Raps with fucking Dee Barnes the hub of fucking rap news at the time, something he as a fan should of been watching if he was a true fan.

He's a leech who's trying to gain points and portray himself as a old school rap head. If he acted like a normal interviewer I wouldn't have an issue, but the fact he tries to use this shit to gain points. well it pretty much gets summed up in this picture.



He's trying to act like he's around these guys by bragging to other dudes, the only time I ever saw him be honest was to Slim Jesus.

[abusive]

Well, I don't want to sound like a vladtv cheerleader. So if you not messin' with him then it is what it is.

[⠀]

Say what you want about the man but at least he is interviewing these OGs, no matter how he comes off/his persona, he's still giving em some shine - be it for his own reasons, a love of the culture or the vicarious thrills he seems to seek as you say.

The Dubcc team should take that as a hint and get back on their grind as at least we'd have some honest nutriders handling it

For real though, y'all missed the Compton wave, same with the movie one too, the new Pac movie may give you the opportunity to upgrade this rusty dusty ass corner of the net so sprinkle some interviews and bring back the leaks and all the other heat that used to make this the place to be.

I agree Dubcnn missed a big opportunity, for awhile this site was all I use to need to search for if I wanted to find the pulse of the scene at hand, however as the westcoast started to transition to the new generation of rappers, It made me realized at least looking at it now, they only kept up with the mid 2000s rappers because of there connection to the OGs and when the next gen came out on there own vibe/thing they completely ignored em and the site basically folded up.

I was expecting a huge influx of interviews/media from the original westcoast, but it appears the bulk of em is basically retired. It also appears that the site is basically run by a skeleton crew now, and the forums are completely ignored now.
