Vlad you ain't outrunning nobody. Your ass ain't moved from that chair in over 2 years.

This man is smart. He thinks so clearly and gets his point across easily.

"Nick Cannon fucks me up my careers over" 😂😂😂

I love how R.A. goes in on Vlad every time.

Vlad, make RA your second main stay alongside Jamar. Matter of fact, put both of them in one interview. These niggas keep it real all the time. Shouts to RA, huge fan.

The grammys are garbage. At this point who even cares anymore? The album that makes the most money will win like always. There are tons of classic rap albums that haven't won anything.

Nobody else see Rocky Balboa in RA the Rugged Man?

Please Vlad, Keep interviews with R.A. coming. Jamar is the main reason i come back to this channel on the regular. R.A. would be another

I never understood why the Chance the Rappers or Kanye or Kendricks of the world always win. But dudes like YG or Game can't even get a nomination. Hell even Tip in his prime never won rap album of the year. Fugees won over Pac in 97, Outkast won over 50 in '04 rap album of the year is a joke bruh.

The Legendary RA

Glad people are just now hearing about R.A through Vlad's channel. He's not just educated on hip-hop guys, hes also one of the most talented spitters of all time. Buy that mans music

Keep these RA videos coming - please! I love the knowledge..

Personally I like Cole better than Kendrick just cuz 1. I can relate more to coles rhymes and 2. I think Cole's flow is better but to say Cole's clear cut better than Kendrick is ridiculous

That's why Chance won. They love that soft, clean cut, non threatening shit.

I could listen to RA talk all fucking day

0:32 he said "Adrian" 😂 he forgot to add "Yo" 😂😂😂😭 hahahaha

Who even takes the Grammys seriously when it comes to Hip Hop, especially after they gave Macklemore the award over Kendrick, and after they gave Puffy the award over Wu-Tang Forever. You can tell the "judges" aren't really fans or experts on Hip Hop. They basically look at which albums had singles that topped the Billboard charts for the longest, and then vote based on that. And yeah they go for more accessible mainstream albums rather than darker albums, or grimier albums, or deeper albums.

R.A. opening the young audiences mind im so happy

I could listen to R.A. & Immortal Technique talk about the state of Hiphop all day.

Vlad, interview Jay-Z. He's a washed up rapper now.

RA is always teaching Vlad his history lessons. *Deservedly.* It's a beautiful thing to witness every time it happens.

RA always entertains. Keep em comin' VLAD.

cole better than kendrick #Factz

Yal don't know R.A was the wildest dude back in the day I've heard legendary stories and has bars for days

Thanks for showin R.A. love !!! R.A. keeps shit real!

The j cole track RA referenced is called Lost Ones check it out

RA: puffy is the reason why biggie is who he is me in my mind: dead?

"You love all these fuckin rich dudes"😂

RA spits knowledge.

R.A a real hiphop dude, he's music is some real shit

Rugged & Jamar need they own show.

Real shit man, RA keepin honest as usual

love RA interviews dudes so real

I love these R.A. videos. I like that he speaks his mind.

This the only nigga that Vlad interviews that I actually look forward to watching.. Always speak the truth and don't give a fuck

I 💖R.A. the Rugged Man!!!!!

They're both wrong about Kendrick, if j cole and Kendrick ever do the rumored collab album you'll see clearly they're both top mcs of our time and Kendrick isn't behind j cole as far as lyrics go. J coles songs are easier to comprehend Kendrick might say some shit you won't be able to figure out right away because of the complexity and technicality. Both are definitely top 5 lyricists of our time right now.

I always liked rugged's music but hes more entertaining in interviews. I think he speaks for a lot of older hip hop fans, and young ones that really respect the culture and the art form.

Love this dude man! He's so real.

R A da rugged man is my guy speaks da truth 💯

Cole better than Kendrick? Hahahaha. "Shine like the leather on my 11s" | "Never thought I would be drinking almond milk". Vlad sound like he can't get a Kendrick interview.

He said "FOOOCKIN PUNCH VLAD IN DA FACE" with that italian accent lmaoo

ever since I first heard of R.A. and heard him speak, in my eyes, he's always been an honorary black man!

i bet you 90% of the people who watch ra's interviews have not heard his music, he is an incredible authentic old school mc, i've been bumpin him since 1995......

need some more r.a interviews

lmao i thought he was going to say "i love that nigga man" lol but he said nick cannon i was like dang bro a little passionate there

Remember bone thugs rapped on thug world order album " we are the only thugs with grammys" so true ;)

Fuck Yeah!! Thanks for Getting RA on here!! Dudes a Wild One and Way Talented

Rugged never shy to give his opinion. Interest perspectives on music and TONS of knowledge in relation to the hiphop industry.

Vlad doesn't even think about his questions, bro the irony of recording 'HipHop is dead' with the same sample of 'Thieves theme' is iconic! You gotta understand a poetic mindset, but hey, Vlad co-signs Yachti soooo there you go, you know nothing about art Vlad!

"Soldier boy vs nick Canon's the worst..." Love it.

i thought artists submit their album for the awards? Grammy's doesnt look for artists music to listen to...

When I heard "Lights Please", I was like J.Cole the truth...

I 100% agree with RA I never thought about Nick Cannon til I started watching his interview

I love the way RA calls out Vlad out. I like this interview. Good work @VladTV

RA is totally right about grammys

The J. Cole record R.A's talking about is called "Lost Ones". That song for me confirmed my uttermost espect for Cole.

4:58 RA is one smart dude #respect

I've been watchin this shit for a while

TRUE EMCEE = R.A. the RUGGED MAN!!! Peace Bro!! Wish I could work with you in the studio!! I got some heat rocks that you can murder!!! I hear you already on a few of 'em!! Well spoken my Brother, teach!!

RA needs to host a podcast

Vlad you have a winner in R.A. as an opinionated and knowledgeable commentator...loving the chemistry between you two.

Miss the old days where guests used to diss Vlad in his own show.

I got hella respect for RA. He could say whatever he want but respects the culture enough to not say disrespectful words.

RA keeps it 100. Not scared to speak the truth. Facts.

Much respect to R.A. The Rugged Man...Much RespecT.

I don't know what the hype about j cole is , he coo , but he switched up his shit from way back in the day but Kendrick can spit , I don't know what the fuck they was talking about and then they became disrespectful, there's opinions and then disrespecting someone, an east coast nigga probably still buthurt about the king of new York line and Vlad what you mean bro ?

I never even thought about that LMFAO Em ain't want no Nick Cannon fade 😂

i have a huge issue with artist speaking before studying. i studied Kendrick and Cole and i can give a real opinion.

how do you get more conceptual the good kid or tpab in modern rap? foh

I want RA to have his own broadcast. He can talk about anything and im gonna be onterested

We need more RA. NOW VLAD

...all these years, we thought that #Wyclef produced that album.

Lost ones is my favourite Jcole track to folwed by Killers, Light please

Very valid points

I love this guy! He's the only person besides Jamar and Taxstone that I look forward to seeing. No sarcasm either.

@12:26 Vlad, you know 'they' hate #Aquarians Stay Strong, #JCole

I love how his shirt says lie but I know it say believe

I wish I would have someone in my life that knows more about hip hop than me but has other opinions on some shit I think. I mean I know a bit but I was born in 1994 so the fact that I mostly listen to 90's underground shit has a completely other effect on me and my knowledge about it thatn someone who came from that time.But my goal is to know more and more good shit, know the lyrics and understand them because Hip Hop is life and it's the only kind of religion I exeprienced in mine. To hear the lifestorys of other people who have other opinions than you, who went threw other shit than you and to get a look in thier minds is so fascinating to me and it tells yourself who you are and builds your character in a way. Sorry if some of this shit is spelled wrong the thing is that I'm from germany and I have far less practice with the english language than I wish I have. But in my opnion german rap is a shitshow compaired to the original. Here 90% of the rappers aren't real or play a role or bite each other and trap is getting bigger and bigger day by day like in america. The difference to America is that you have tons and tons of stuff from the past and the present that is worth listening to everyday you can find something knew that blows your mind. My problem with trap is that people still look at it like it is Hip Hop but for me it is a whole knew music genre. When everyone would look at it like that everything would be much easier and the real Hip Hop artists who are killing it, who noone knows would have the chance to get heard more often or could get the credit they deserve.

Lost Ones. That's what R.A. was talking about. Gives Me chills each time...

I hate RA's raps, but I love him in interviews. Bring him back some more Vlad!

Kendrick is way better than Cole. Out of the Black Friday Tracks Kendricks was the best. It isn't criminal J Cole didn't win a grammy because his album was second best compared to kendricks. You don't get participation awards. And I love how RA is trying to act Like Kendrick had this free flowing flowery album and that's why the grammys picked it. Kendricks was more aggressive than Cole's album. I swear yall are trippin. And Cole's new album was boring, and you're talking about he's a better songwriter than Kendrick. GTFOH. J Cole doesn't have one album better than kendrick. I swear this guy seems like a hater, and just because people consider Kendrick such a good rapper too, like why are you mad at him for being good I don't understand.

Kendrick is a true artist. Yeah he did a throwaway verse for TS but we'd all agree he probably didn't consider TS when making GKMD and especially TPAB and UTUM. He paints pictures, he story tells, he tries to best convey emotions when he's making HIS music. Kendrick probably isn't a top 5 lyricist but from changing his voice, to the production and lyrical content makes his much more interesting and creative than those people who can only rap well. Music is subjective but saying Kendrick isn't a true artist is a bit ridiculous.

'To Pimp a Butterfly' is a masterpiece, they both sleepin

more Lord Jamar and Ra.

1:40 in and he is got me wanting to watch all his shit

kendrick is superly overrated... j cole def a better song writer better word play.. just my opinion!

lol idk who R. A. is but i love this interview and gonna see what he's about via Google or ig he was funny and real

R.A. speaks the truth ✊

You kinda wrong about Salaam and Amy. Yeah he worked on 12 songs of Amy but he wasnt her "main" producer, most biggest hits actually were made by Mark Ronson. Mark Ronson wasn't executive producer, he actually made the biggest Amy hit "Rehab". And Salaam worked with Mark many times together. Also Salaam wasn't song writer, he was music producer for Amy.

RA, and Lord Jamar Vs. Nick Cannon, and Big Tray Dee "Special Guest Debate Referee" is Eddie Griffin

R.A a real one

yo I listen to the nappy heads remix like everyday

Thief's Theme is a banger! Salaam Remi produced some heat back in the days.

I used to say the same thing about kendrick until i saw his live performances as well as heard later albums

This dude is Sylvester Stallone 100%

"Cole is a true artist because he doesn't collaborate with non-rappers" Vlad, what the fuck are you talking about?

RA should start a podcast

Valid points here

R.A. is Vlad's best guest on so many levels
