"Acting your wage" does not translate to intelligence

Act your wage? Money makes you comfortable, but it doesn't feed your spirit. Should never trust a person who says things about selling out for money.

Vlad....That statement about acting a certain way because someone has money was wack as you know what...No matter how much money or how little someone has we "should" always act "accordingly" respectfully...Sometimes Dude I Don't Know...About You

Vlad saying act your wage around people with money is a peek into his character.. He's pretty much a buster when he around other people with more money and power than him. A real man is a real man regardless of what's in his pocket. Smh

"Act your wage?" When has money ever matched intelligence. Vlad has hit an all time low

Shout out to Vlad for putting Lecrae on he’s been dope and one of the most talented positive MC’s out here!!!!!!! 👍🏾

What the pastor meant and what he said were equally wrong!!!! No way to spin it a right way.

Lecrae a GOAT!!!! I first met him in South Carolina after a show he did with the 116 clique and JR. lecrae is one of the most realest and down to earth people I EVER met! He literally kicked it n talked with me for almost 2 hours and talked to me like we knew each other for years. Respect!

I understand what Lecrae was saying. It's sometimes hard to catch/acknowledge everything in the heat of the moment.

I'm sorry but if you not ready to handle them type of conversations.. Don't go.

This dude really sound like he just ain't want to confront him with all the excuses

I salute Lecrae for reaching out & holding onto his faith in the process. He seems like a solid bro to me. People be giving him way too much grief.

Lecrae: “good to be here man -_-“

What is trying to justify what the Pastor said, HE SAID WHAT HE SAID

LeCrae and Nick Cannon look related. Even sound similar

Crae underrated

Sorry bro we didn't want u to flip out but to give a somewhat intelligent rebuttal

Brother Phil addressed this on African Diaspora News Insider.

Love Lecrae.. can't please every black person. Just focus on pleasing God. Good job bruh

I can definitely understand when Lecrae saids "I was shocked, I was caught off guard". Sometimes you don't see stupid idiotic statements coming your way until after they've already smacked you in the face. And you're thinking, did I just hear that right??? Did he say what I think he said???

YOU GOT A SONG WITH RAPSODY COMING !!!!??? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and D Smoke 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🔥 put them out!!

What I saw, was you just sitting there as Dan Cathy bowed on his knees to clean your shoes. So it was messed up all around. You should have said, nah man get up, we only bow down to Jesus.

I can’t wait for the D.Smoke Lecrae collab!!!!!’

I may have made some comments about you, Lecrae, that weren't nice. I apologize for them if I did. I just listened to your thoughts on this in full and I have to admit I expected you to be more reactive and uncontrolled, based on the titles and what not. I actually respect the way you dealt with this and you're a good man, I respect that you have the ability to think through what it is you heard before reacting. Even if you disagree still, it's all good, but the way you dealt with it is very mature and you won a supporter from me (not that you were asking for it or need it).

On the real tho, this critical theory garbage does not hold any space in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I don’t think he had to “flip tables”, but articulating and debating ideas allows for a conversation and growth on both sides. That was a good opportunity to add some value and different perspective on the other side of the coin, especially realizing that some of the pastor’s there had one opinion. We can correct with love, debate ideas and still be brothers in Christ at the end of the day.

You see the shade he threw at vlad he said “ oh yeah you know how the game is, look at you” that’s why vlad kinda gave him a half ass answer

Real leaders can’t afford to be cowards. He fell back when he should have stood for something.

So Gugilloto dude is saying God had Africans put into slavery . Go through Jim Crow to make living easier and prosperous in America for whites. I don’t know what to say. Is everything ordain through God. And yet it happened. Me personally I say pay up for the blessings. This country has paid others. I guess weren’t not supposed to get some of those blessings.

This interview just made me mad all over again. When lecrae was on ti’s podcast he was outspoken and bold. Then he hears someone try to turn white privilege into white blessing and he didn’t hear it? That’s a weak excuse. Nobody expected him to flip a table over and get loud but talking about white blessings right after another black person was killed in the street was unacceptable

Vlad is not the place to interview after having internet drama. That's why Nick Cannon still hasn't reached out to Vlad yet....and Vlad "Claims" Nick is his friend.

Worth 7billion and they ain't even open on Sundays.

A lot of people think they know exactly what they would say or do in these situations and that is so wrong. There are many times where I have reacted exactly how I think I should have, but I look back at so many times where I stood stunned, or taken of guard or just nervous that I regret and wonder why I didn’t say this or that after a racist or misogynistic or unjust statement. We don’t realize that our reactions can also be affected by mood, health/ mental situations we may be dealing with, etc. I even remember being so nervous talking one time that I realized I had not even heard what the person before me said to the same question . That made me even more nervous and I was so scared that maybe I just repeated the same thing or didn’t acknowledge something really important. I don’t care how many times you have stood in front of a crowd, it can still get to you. The blame is entirely on Louie. I am so sick of stupid non apologies. Louie needs to grow a spine, mature and not be terrified of his own audience. Acknowledge your mistake to the fullest and say what is wrong and right. Louie left such a vague non-apology meant to not rock the boat. Even the discussion of slavery was him trying to address a serious problem by not really addressing it.

"it's good to be here" Translation: "Ugh, let's get this over with!"

Lecrae you can not be comfortable in the "jungle" which is the world when you are not of the world and live for Jesus. We are to be in the world but not of it for Jesus takes you out of the world when you believe in Him and live for Him not the manmade church.....

👎🏻 not feeling this one. Crae has said some things in this interview that are very alarming. If you don’t hear it you need to hit that word. Get Sevin on here. Hog Mobbin.

This album is amazing! Great features, message, and interview. :)

At this point vlad interviews himself

BJ the Chicago kid is a BEAST.... love dudes music.... he has an ear.

“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;”

Vlad, should know just because you're a 1 percenter doesnt make you a god, you need to throw your values away for. You don't have to flip a table but you can have a constructive conversation with with someone and teach them why what they said, isn't the best way he could of said it.

One of the most underrated artist in hip hop

Can we just appreciate the fact that Dan Cathy and Louie Giglio were willing to sit down and listen? These aren't easy spaces to navigate and nobody has all the right answers. The fact that they were willing to put themselves out there and try to make a difference speaks volumes to me even if their words didn't come out right.

“Act your wage” Another quotable from VLAD smh

Lecrae performed at Ravi Zacharias's Funeral😮😆 Yes Sir! Keep it up Lecrae... and Glad... much respect for putting Lecrae on👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾

lecrae did anything for clout. He denied because he's afraid to die in the court of public opinion. Stand up, state your beliefs Lecrae. You been verbal about Christ on wax then because you went mainstream, you afraid to even speak about Jesus in an interview let alone speak up about justice/injustice. But on wax you talk about not tolerating injustice. Lose more fans by being weak and lukewarm than you ever will by standing up and stating where you stand

I really like this man's music. Very uplifting

Entertainment business is going out of business so everybody hip hopping

For this one i have to put a thumbs down... he should have reply... i believe there's ways to talk/reply without being agressive.... thats sad bruh

Seen this dude In concert he's amazing

This interview is long over due

Nobody is saying flip a table bro. We're saying you could have at least engaged in civil dialogue/discourse with him & corrected him KNOWING he was out of line. You can "check" someone without disrespecting them Lecrae. If you don't know how, or are too afraid, to effectively communicate or articulate your thoughts in situations where you feel inferior, just say that.

Dame Dash wldve Smoked All these clowns, including DJ Vulture!

his song blessings was one of my favorite songs real shit !!

I’ve been exciting for Vladimir to Interview lecrae. He’s the truth frfr , his beats are just as good at his message

"It'll be both of ours it'll just be at my house" - red and debo quote on Friday

What it do FamBam...Ya brought me back, 'It'd be like bouf arz'. Lol, Yeeyaah! Blessings Homie

Lecrae let us down. He had the opportunity to speak up but decided not to rebut the offensive statement because he did not want to jeopardize the money he receives directly and indirectly from that community. Lecrae the Lord is talking to you and you are not listening. You cannot have two masters. If you want mammon you can have it as well as the price that comes with it.

Much love Lecrae, don't let these haters sweat you bro. God bless.

That thought this was Scottie Pippen at quick glance!

Lecrae looks tired.. PRAY FOR LECRAE 🙏🙏

Where's the full interview?

Glad up early watchin cartoons this SAT

Waiting for this Rapsody and Lecrae

For the record, I personally don’t feel he had to yell and/or scream to simply have that man understand that calling slavery a blessing was just downright wrong and insensitive. Lecrae is a dope artist though and i do understand in the middle of the moment he may have been to taken aback to realize hiw to respond.

It’s bad when a man can’t speak up when it’s time to, yelling at the police and that could have went very bad for him but won’t express yourself to another man because you are to scared to speak up when it’s time! All kinds of excuses for not talking a stand with another man. All he had to do was express his opinion, not flip over a table... we can’t even count on people in position with a so called voice....smh we are in bad shape!!! No wanted you to flip a table over just speak up and counter him with the truth! So If he sit there and call your wife out of her name would you speak up or be caught of guard, we didn’t talk when the camera went off, he gave a hand shake and that was that! Can’t take him seriously. All this talking and had the man face to face. Speak up and you don’t have to flip the table over to do so.

You'll all need to fall back! The man just apologized and made no excuse! He own his part. How someone going to call someone else out on being a Christian, but fail to forgive! We are perfect in Christ! We fall short! Stop casting stones without checking the man/woman in the mirror first!

To all the folks in the comment section sharing their bias opinion like I'm going to share mine, you have to realize that from Lecrae's stand point he did the right thing. For having a "intelligent rebuttal", is useless. He was speaking with a person that has their mind made up about life. Which him giving his thoughts on how someone outside his race should view what they say as ignorant is a waste of time. I also do not knock Lecrae for trying to see it from a different perspective in which still you can see by how he expressed the situation it clearly bothered him. Which he said to prove my point, "he should have known better", because of his experience. Lastly I doubt anyone where would be in the position he was in to even address that man in a matter in which could paint "black people" in a postive tone any better then he did by subconsciously remaining in frame. Now with that being said, imma go back to minding my business.

Every person who wants wealth has to decide how far they are willing to go. Your next opportunity may require you to sacrifice something. I don’t know if he really didn’t catch it but we’ve all had moments where we don’t catch something till after the fact.

Lecrae is a goat man used to listen to him in my childhood and it was a great time

I gotta comment again because Lecrae is speaking some real shit and is one smart man. Again, respect.

Great interview!!!!

He did his homework and he planned on saying that

Lecrae has an identity crisis. If you look at past conversations with "white evangelicals" he speaks proper and educated. But in interviews like this, he switches it up to appeal to his predominantly hip-hop audience, which is mostly black folks. He wants to play both sides to appease them. He boasts about protesting with BLM, but he was once doing apologetics with Ravi Zacharias and "Christian" concerts with Louie Giglio's church (Passion Conference) and had a following with that crowd. Which was predominantly white folks. He claims to not know Louie Giglio very well. But as a Christian myself, trust me, he knows Louie Giglio and Dan Cathy very well. He just folded when the moment called for him to be genuine because he had no time to think out his answer when his back was against the wall. But that shows you where his heart is really at. Christ said out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. And Lecrae showed it by the words that he spoke.

I was hard on my brother when he changed his musical content but this brother has my full support, there will be a few of your favorite rappers in heaven through their relationships with Lecrae, the church is unfortunately always out of touch with reaching out and establishing relationships with people Jesus loves and wants them to be saved. Lecrae has "beautiful feet"(Rom.10:15)

Still waiting for another Church Clothes!

flip over that table and you have a divide , ppl take sides . the way lecrae handled it allows us to analyze the idea and not flipping over a table displays a maturity where more ppl can focus on what he said rather than "what lecrae did"

Very sad and yet interesting interview. I never liked his music when he first appeared in Christian circles. The cross-over he made really made him fade out of Christian interest. Also, he comes across with the mentality of being a “social justice Christian”. No such thing. No Christian protests law and order. Further, since when are there two audience groups in Christianity? Or more than one audience? There lies the semantics of segregation. Finally, beautiful feet are not of those that just “hang out” with the unrepented. They are actually of those who preach the gospel continually. If he mixes with those crowds, why do they still keep him around? Preaching the gospel will make people uncomfortable because it convicts of sin.

Yeahhh... You definitely dropped the ball. After getting your thoughts together, you should have destroyed that rediculous logic. And you can do so without flipping a table.

Thanks for keeping it real Lacrae!

He actually asked him about his projects ?????? Im proud !!!!! Go vlad 🥳

Glad to see Lecrae to his thing!

I believe cuz heard what he said but didn’t want to go off on him on camera.

I can tell y'all have never listened to Dave Ramsay. He says act your wage all the time. It's about living within your means.

*Smh. Can't have both Lecrae.*

yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lecrae thank.......you......i need this man.....im not even religious but im very intrigued with your book.

LECRAE X DSMOKE 🔥

What a rediculous impossible situation. I would insist on a viewing before final editing if I was ever asked for an interview. Right up a contract or something!! There are just too many landmines now days and people say some crazy stuff! I don't know what I would have sad to that guy, I would like to believe I would have corrected "white blessing", but sometimes people take me off guard! Just another example of how white people should listen to black people about race, instead of trying to lead the conversation.

Man, so many issues with these responses, and body language about the pastor's apology says he's lying 🤥

Lacrae is one of my favorite rappers, always having positive things in his music, and great quality music, dude spit bars. That song he did with Ty$sign and Tori Kelly is awesome. Slavery is a blessing if your the slaver owner.

Respect for his answer.

Is Lecrae a giant? Everytime I see him i feel like hell stand up and be like eight feet tall.

There is no such thing as pleasing everyone. There is nothing Anyone can say that someone won’t complain about. It is what it is.

Damn they trying to set crae up!

I love Lecrae mayne!! His music is so dope!! More ppl need to give christian Rap a chance!

Everybody knows you’re Jewish vlad . We hear it every interview since the cannon and griff meet

They keep hitting Crae with stuff that he gota go home and think about. “White blessing”. “Act your wage”. Sup with these dudes. Cut the interviews bro they don’t have your good interests in mind.

Respect to Lecrae 💯💯💯

The new album is fire

A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways
