Yella is the only NWA member that had Easy's back all the way even through the drama and the beefs and his sickness. He was also the only one at his funeral. True friend

I feel like DJ Yella doesn't get his flowers and the respect he deserves. The dude was an important part of gangsta rap history.

He seems like a humble, down to earth good dude. Great interview Vlad.

Yella is WAY too nice to be in the music biz. I'm so happy he seems to have come out of all the struggle all right.

I need to count the “I don’t know…” and “I wasn’t there…” comments. This man has nothing bad to say about anybody! You’re a gentleman in every sense of the word DJ Yella! Salute!

I'm 48 yrs old & NWA was a big part of my teenage yrs & beyond, I have yet to see another group or individual makes such a impact to their particular music genre as they have and this man was part of that history & he should be proud of. Much love & respect to DJ Yella & the whole NWA family

DJ Yella should make a movie out of his book. I think people would want to see his story. His story is everything: interesting, sad and inspiring.

Yella is the type of Friend We can call him every time when we need a true friend for hard times..

2:27:25 Vlad actually let DJ Yella play the drums at the end! 😁. Yella's still got it.

Yella seems so down to earth and laid back. This seems super rare in the hip hop industry.

I met DJ yella in Opal Lounge (Edinburgh in 2015) around the time the movie came out. Maybe 50-60 people showed up so he held a meet and greet in the VIP section. I was 18 and felt like a typical white boy superfan, shocked by the number of people there and at the chance to speak with him. He was extremely down to earth and it remains a great memory, an absolute gentleman 👍🏻

Underrated legend. Always respect him for staying with Ruthless and Eazy. A true G

dj yella is such a good dude fr

Yella is such a good dude. I’ll always support his stuff

It's crazy that Yella was homeless during all this after all the great music he gave to the world, Yella really stayed humble ❤️

I could listen to him talk all day. Would love to just hang out with him one day and listen to him tell stories of life back in the day.

When he said “well he never came to any of my baseball games, but he’s still my dad” I shed a tear right there.... I would’ve went to one of ur games Yella 😔😔😔

I can tell he never made any enemies in his life, which is why he always had a place to stay and got what he needed during those tough times. Personally, I like to keep it real, and tell people what I think of situations. But, watching this, I can tell there are benefits to never pissing anyone off. It's not for me, but I can respect it. He genuinely seems like the kind of guy who really did mind his own business, and took care of his own the best he knew how.

This gentleman MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. He's so Humble he didn't sell his soul.

DJ Yella is hands-down the coolest dude ever!!! You can just feel his energy! The guy is so humble and grounded! I love this Vlad Interview!!!

He always seems so happy? Like he never seems to talk about the past in a bad way or gets upset about it 🤷‍♀️ I really like his attitude

Met yella last week in montebello meet and greet. Very humble dude .

You can tell Yella was a good group member and friend.

Yella is a great guest dude is an unsung hero of hip hop people need to give him his flowers

Yella is such a humble dude, his always active on socials thanking fans and just generally being a good person! What a legend. If you haven't drop him some props while his still around 👏

For the first time I really felt the true pain of E’s passing it seem to happen so fast be blessed DjYella

Yella is one of the most respectful and nice dudes ive seen whos in the music business and esp the rap game back then... He doesnt bad mouth people, doesnt name drop or "snitch" . You can see he is a genuine person and just a really straight up nice respectful dude!!

This whole interview isn’t as bad as the clips. He actually allows Yella to talk

He still nice af on the drums 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This interview is perfect. Yella keep it 💯. Now I wanna see a interview with MC Ren, I feel like he's been in the dark.

You can tell Yella TO GOOD OF A PERSON FOR THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. They take advantage of good hearts and calm spirits

My man looks like smokey Robinson

Loved the ending. Yella is such a kick ass drummer. I can see him getting into additional session work and more projects in the music industry. He has too much talent and ability to let it go to waste and it's obvious that music is what he was always destined to do before it fell away from him after Eazy passed away.

Watching this interview and DJ Yella's stories, life is truly a journey. Off all he went through he still a humble guy.

Yella always comes across as the nicest dude you get the feeling that if you met him on the street you’d be talking with him for hours such an interesting and nice dude

Yella ain't burning no bridges

Please have DJ Yella back as a regular!!!

Hard to believe this suburban dad in the pretty Ralph Lauren shirt was in NWA, striking terror into the hearts of white America. Nice interview here mentions KDAY, which was the greatest little station in L.A. I went up there one day and met everyone - it was a gem of an AM station playing the best music when rap was FUN. So sad it ended in 91 and everything became so damn dreary.

I met them all personally, hung out with them for 3 days, D.J. Yella is a gentleman, heck they all were. D.j. Yella rode to their concert withe and my best friend when they were in Detroit. We met them at a club called U.B.Q., had a small party at their hotel room at St. Regis hotel. Met Cube the last day, went to his hotel rm got an autographed picture( still have it), that was 92, Cubes bodyguard Big Tom liked my friend Ronda, Cube said he like me, or my Sister, so that never happened. The steaks were good, so was the Absolut, and cranberry juice. Good times!

you not getting juice out of yella he keeping all the secrets respect

Another dj yella interview was literally on my my mind today, I just love hearing about him and the other members and love to know more. I'm so glad and also surprised that this released 2 days ago and I wasnt notified, you read my mind, thanks vlad 🙌

GOOD JOB DJ YELLA! the history is written directly from the man! Im going to buy the book. I have to!

Meeting yella as an airbrush artist and hip hop fan from Canada was the greatest meet and greet ever! I airbrushed an image of eazy e juss so I cud get 10 minutes of his time and yella thought it was mad cool and took a picture with me! Full respect!

Good to see you doing well yella after 33 years of being a nwa fan

I can sum this up in one word, WOW! DJ Yella The Legend

DJ Yella hung in there. DJ Vlad did a great job promoting Yella with this giant platform. SoCal well represented here

I’m smiling at the end of this so very cool thanks DJYella

One if the best and honest interviews ever 🎉 salute

Finally the full interview!

That drum session at the end was the icing on the cake

What’s crazy to me is, Yella seemed to be the only one in the Straight Outta Compton movie accurately depicted. He had a small role in the movie compared to the others, but everyone else was exaggerated. Cube and Dre looked like they were in the Avengers, they made Eazy look like a chump, Ren was pushed to the background, but Yella was comedy.

As someone who had similar experience when I was much younger and yes it was a man. but I'll leave it at that, molestation specifically child molestation, child abuse is no laughing matter no matter what happened how it happened whether you consented to it or not because legally if you are a minor you cannot LEGALLY consent and they are always individuals out there who will try you at some point. JUST stay on guard and be smart and stick to your loved ones. especially in public pools, public beaches, public parks and area's like that. just word to the wise and on the street. shout out to DJ Yella for being very humble and open and comfortable enough to publicly speak about this in a one-on-one interview and enough respect he didn't have to share specific event details, he'll leave that between him and God and so will I as I continue to do so last thing people want is everyone to hear about your business in tomorrow's newspaper or on social media. stay blessed everyone 💝

When he said "whatever it is it's not going to bring him back." Felt that

I always felt NWA was like the Hip Hop version of the Temptations. Dre & Yella was Melvin Franklin & Otis Williams. Cube was Eddie Kendricks. Ren was Paul Williams & Eazy was David Ruffin. That's just how it feels to me when I hear the music.

We never talked about it. - That's my new line 😂😂😂😂😂

DJ Yella has taught me that, one minute you can be rich and the next minute,you have nothing….

Big up dj yella gotta grab tha book 📖

He just did an Interview with Roadium radio and that interview was much better .

I got pumped when i heard you say "No More Questions" was your favorite. Mine too. "You mean a 211?"

I remember the first time hearing NWA. The older hustla’s were chilling on the Basketball court and this was when ppl carried around Boom boxes and they were out there playing it and it was unbelievable to hear dudes cursing. It’s nothing now but back then you were amazed

One of my favorite interviews 🤙

Ayeooo Yella is back

dj yella is a very important part of history in the music industry

I love when Yella said "UhOh", when they started to play F Tha Police on stage.

Thanks Vlad a great interview I love NWA

Great great great interview once again by vlad 💯💯💯

if i ever get to be a grandpa..i want to be able to look back at the world,at my victories,my flaws,my blunders,my loyalty to friends,my discretion with the same vibe,energy and aura he radiates..he has built and lives in his own mental 'man cave'..salute to a legend

Yesssssss yella 😍😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥😍😍

This was a good interview

For A Guy To Have Been Through So Much and still be STiLL ..Love this dude brha

He’s the realest friend you could ever have❗️you can actually turn yo back and know dude not saying a word under any circumstances

Yella has an attitude. A very pleasant one.

Fellas, pay close attention to this interview. This is how you deflect people who are trying to get you to say foul shit about your family and friends.

i guess what i learned from this interview is that you don’t gotta be disrespectful, rude or just and all around bad person in life.......God loves you just as you are🔥

niceeeeeee finally ✈️🔥

Dj Yella!!!!! Much love

Yella use to fuck it up on the drums at Compton High

He is a well grounded humble man

About damn time.

I respect the dj!👍

I love yella he has a good personality love his vibe

Dj yella is awesome. That’s my dad’s brother

Yella aint falling for the rumours and gossip, he aint saying nothing and its refreshing to see!

Excellent

Skipped right to the end to see him play Drums 👌I remember when Eazy Duz came out I always wondered if he could really play the drums 👍

1: I always thought the drums were just a composited background 2: That is one of the best endings ever.

Such a peaceful guy.

DJ Yella on the drums is classic.

Man Yella is the definition of a hood homie “he doesn’t know and doesn’t wanna know” that’s how he did this whole interview

Mano os hits que esse cara fez ! Marcaram minha infância!! Muita humildade e sinceridade em suas palavras, DJ yella e brabo de verdade ! ✌️😎

I don't know...I wasn't there...We never really talked about it..That ain't my business....That' funny uncle Yella🤣

Love Yella he seems so honest

Seems like a genuine, cool, good person. Enjoyed hearing him talk

Salute to "DJ YELLA!!" He has a good vibe about him. A genuinely good brother💯👤

Gotta Love Yella Great interview 👍! Legend in the flesh ! Who the fuck put a thumbs down GTFOH!

Mannnn The World Class Wreckin’ Cru!!! Remember my first time hearing Turn Off the Lights 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

i respect this man

What a legend Dj Yella

First time hearing, DJ yella interview very well spoken and seems like a very easy going guy,I like he didn’t comment on anybody he always say I don’t know about that he’s very smart,but very good interview I liked it very much

Man they did a great job casting his person in straight outta Compton. The person that played him looked and sounded just like him lol.
