Cool interview, definitely glad to hear this. We all should be grateful that Vlad is such a fan of west coast music and is now interviewing lots of OGs. He needs to do a Quik interview, that would be the shit.Vlad aint a fan of shit, he's a culture vulture he's a sheltered ass motherfucker. He's infatuated with the ganglife, and only gives a shit if its gonna get views he said it himself "if it aint big I aint fucking with it" Fuck that motherfucker.
One question, though: is MC Eiht lying about the "biting me quick" line? I find it hard to believe that the line could NOT be a shot at Quik, since it makes little sense grammatically otherwise. It just doesn't sound like something anybody would say under normal circumstances. I'm pretty sure it is a diss at Quik and that Eiht has changed his story to seem innocent of provoking the beef.

I remember that BET interview with Eiht, Quik and Snoop. Awkward

i got what he was sayin even back then..u quick to bite em..meanin u on his dick
it wasnt a diss...but then to the top of the tree's to cmw u see...made it to tragniew..
eiht then wanna use it as a diss..
when nowhere in that song did quik say he was shootin at nwa n cmw
he was givin em shout outs..
tell u the truth..n im a fan of both..
eiht has been lyin his entire time with vlad..
eiht started with e.v.i.a.n n the atlantis posse with dj slip
unknown slip n eiht been knowin each other for yrs...
alonzo dropped the ball with nwa...
the wreckin cru was dead..
so alonzo followed nwa formula..
n put together a compilation album with a bunch of no name niggas n cmw..produced by dj slip..
eiht n cmw was on some monkey see monkey do shit to get in the game..
...
far as the quik shit..
u can tell he was tryin 2 hard..
he knew the quik songs..
he changed the suge knight situation
it wasnt a truck..quik told the story on dollaz n sense....they caught eiht out of pocket goin to his momma house..
eiht was scared durin this entire time..thats why he never spoke on tree top..
eiht didnt start reppin tragniew n 159 hard until quik put his nuts on his braids at the source awards
if he was gangbangin..as he said..he show as hell didnt act like it...
1 thang about quik i can honestly say..he was givin ass whuppins n gettin em behind what he represented..
Good interview. MC Eiht says things didn't get heated between him and DJ Quik, but Vlad should have asked him about the accusations on 'Dollaz n Sense' when Quik mentions his guys running up on him at a stoplight and pointing guns at his car.

I disagree completely. Listen to the interviews - it's obvious that Vlad is a real fan of most of these rappers. Would he really go to the trouble of filming and producing an interview with someone like Tray Deee or Kam or MC Eiht or Cold187Um just for views on Youtube? Surely they're not "big" in the current culture, and more views could easily be obtained by interviewing people with much larger fan bases. It seems obvious to me that Vlad is letting his personal interests guide his selection of interview subjects as much as (if not more than) his desire for Youtube ratings.
Gotta remembers it was the 90s, almost every city in cali was a warzone during that era, the southland/Oakland became infamous for that shit (even though every city was getting it in during that era). Suge securing the situation with niggaz makes sense, think at it from his view from a security situation, he's about to come up on someone from a rival set, near his mothers house, That nigga could get extremely paranoid and do something stupid. Paranoia and fear will make a motherfucker pull the trigger faster then any anger will. So him showing out with all that muscle was basically a sign that anyone can understand, if you come at him in a malicious manner you will face instant retaliation. Running with a big ass crew every where was common back then.Good interview. MC Eiht says things didn't get heated between him and DJ Quik, but Vlad should have asked him about the accusations on 'Dollaz n Sense' when Quik mentions his guys running up on him at a stoplight and pointing guns at his car.
if suge was gone talk 2 u man to man sayin he aint bout that bullshit n he wont do nuthin to your mom..why the fuck he box u in with multiple niggas
He never had any connection to that type of environment, but because he does interviews with the people that due, you constantly hear him brag about who he knows, like that gets him points. Case in Point: Slim Jesus, he tried flexing like he was into some shit by telling him "I've interviewed the real killers". Like that means anything, that doesn't mean jackshit, he's a media reporter, anything he interviews is straight up a separate entity and doesn't garner him any type of respect in that manner.
The only reason I watch him is because he lets (when he doesn't interrupt like a retard) the people who interview speak there mind, without them having to censor themselves. That's it, other then that Vlad is simply wigga trash. Plus he looks like the clown from Devils Rejects.
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

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.....Don't know why there is so much hate for Vlad.

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.Don't know why there is so much hate for Vlad.

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.
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.Don't know why there is so much hate for Vlad.

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.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.

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.
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.I'm subscribed to 179 you-tube channels 99.9% are Hip Hop and some of them do interviews.

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