Nardwuar got more street cred then Vlad!!! 🤣😂🤣🤪😏

His voice and interview style is just creepy. Dude always sounds like he's interviewing porn stars when he's interviewing anybody.

"Dry snitchin'"& "stirring the pot" is literally his entire game

I respect this video, thanks for exposing Vlad while also exposing the problem: People’s desire for drama. Vlad is just stirring the pot, but we as Black people are giving him all the ingredients.

The only reason people watch vlad is for the people he interviews , not him.

Nobody: Djvald: so how long you been a drug dealer??

I’m in no way a Vlad fan but his success comes in simply realizing that if you put a mic in front of people who would literally kill for attention you don’t have to do more than that. Because at the end of the day if most of these so called “street guys” weren’t telling Vlad their business they would find a host of other ways to incriminate themselves! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!

I’m not a DJ Vlad fan, but you can’t blame him for asking incriminating questions. Blame the dumb rappers who incriminate themselves.

"You, you like to talk. I like to let people talk who like to talk. Makes it easier to find out how full of shit they are." - Jackie Chan

He is NOT "A guest in the house of Hip Hop", he literally sits outside the house doing interviews

Vlad is the perfect example of an outsider getting too comfortable and familiar with us.

Why were so Brothers and sister willing to sit and support Vlad? Serve y’all right. Serve your own people first and last. ✊🏾

A grown man willingly tells another grown man on camera about crimes he committed then says somebody snitching🧐🤔

He might not be the feds but feds clearly watch his videos

You make great content and hit the nail on the head for me often. Great job;)

Blacks people have a very loving , forgiving, and accepting nature. This part of us people take advantage of , and it’s hurt us in the past and present.

Oooooweee this about to be a good one

If WE stopped watching he wouldnt succeed...

I found Vlad's interview with Suga Free really frustrating. For about 10 minutes at the end they actually talked about music and Suga Free got extremely animated and you really got a sense for how much he loves the genre. Was frustrating because it could've been a great interview if Vlad hadn't spent the other 90 minutes asking Suga Free about pimping, which mostly caused him to act subdued and evasive. *sigh*

At the end of the day. He’s the Jerry Springer of hiphop. The artist gave him a platform that very well gets people to start beef or incriminate themselves. It’s like playing devil's advocate. It’s up to you to fall for his trap set to destroy you.

Vlad: “I don’t ask people about open cases.I like to ask them stuff that will make new cases open” (Vlad laugh)

They don't like Vlad? So why do they keep going on his show? LMAO

We fill be need to control every situation and others that don't look like us. VLAD is a solid interviewer and provides great information. As they can see, it is hard for people to listen to you if you don't have a sustainable "it factor" persona.

This was educational. I knew Vlad was greedy and had some morality issues but that NoPlug incident is crazy.

Vlad is a reminder of little we do for each other and how lucrative it is for everybody else.

Vlad is the Jerry Springer of Hip Hop. -Al Profit

Wow. Very good video. I haven't heard an intelligent, well-spoken argument regarding DJ VLad in a long time. Many criticize, but few do it so eloquently. Subscribed.

Very rarely does it become aparent wheather or not something was positive or negative in its impact on a culture or genre until a sufficiant amount of time has past to be able to look back with enough distance to view the wider picture and how it may have been affected by said actions.....

Bottom line is: controversy sells. No doubt about it. Humans love to see other humans bicker, unfortunately.

The most condescending, passive aggressive culture vulture in hip hop history.

There are a lot of artists I would’ve never heard of if they weren’t on his show though tbh…

Damn!!! EXTREMELY well written! Thoughtful, insightful, and absolutely honest. Seems like your journalist integrity stopped you (correctly) from going ALL the way in on Vlad, The "Journalistic" Hip Hop Character Assassinater and Black Cultural Impaler... Can't understand how beef hustlers (those who push conflict) become so successful. Vlad's show is for the birds; better yet, Vlad's show is for The Burbs-and maybe that's the reason, maybe that's the audience which has made this individual so successful?...Dangerous, yet safe...and seen in the homes surrounded by white picket fences.

If hip hop didn't respect vlad, half of hip hop wouldn't do his channel interviews. Y'all made him so....reap what you sow.

Man I just realized this, HipHopMadness wrote amazing scripts. Can't report on hip-hop with mediocre writing skills, respect!

At the end of the day these people VOLUNTARILY went on his show and were asked questions which were VOLUNTARILY ANSWERED and now they're calling him a fed because THEY told their business on his show! These people are a trip, considering hip hop artists tell on themselves everytime they brag in their songs! Vlad actually made a lot of people relevant again and introduced a lot of old school to this generation.

Vlad’s appearance is unsettling. No wonder he never shows his face

I find it very cringy and disrespectful when he tries to talk hood.

I always wondered WHY TF the culture even trusts this dude? I’m white and I could never . Just too much respect for what it takes to live that life .

Vlad is the only interviewer that asks and answers his own questions

These stories need to be told though. It's not just all stupid street shit. That being said, Vlad is definitely an instigator and he should pull back on some of the bs.

Hip hop artists are the biggest snitches in the game what artist hasn't snitch on themselves and blame someone else for they're own stupidity

DJ Vlad asking all the questions people really want to hear the answer to. That's why people keep coming back to watch. Nobody forces Hip Hop figures to participate in an interview nor answer questions they don't want to answer. Black culture and the Hip Hop culture got way bigger issues to address other than DJ Vlad interviews ... don't be mad at the messenger and not those doing the deeds.

DJ Vlad should keep doing his thing. Haters will always hate.

Hip hop don’t respect him but he interviews damn near every hip hop artist.

*Why doesn’t Hip Hop respect DJ Vlad?* Because Vlad doesn’t respect Hip Hop..

I feel like most people don’t really understand that journalism doesn’t have any boundaries. Any and every question is on the table. It will be asked, and you have the option to answer or keep silent. Recently Vlad has been interviewing a lot of big time drug lords which I feel like a lot of people want to chime in, but when it comes to street guys who are also rapping, now it becomes an issue and Vlad is a fed. Journalism is the desire for absolute truth, and I don’t think there’s many big time journalists in the hip hop industry. Most other “interviewers” are really glorified radio hosts. They ask about what project you got going on and that’s that. It’s kind of like a press release. He’s actually doing journalism, there’s a flow to his interviews. (At least the first one that any host is doing with him)

I mean at the same time a lot of these artists are out here bragging about cases in music and on social media lol

The real question is why do you all keep letting DJ Vlad interview you? I mean feed off of you, he looks pretty well fed to me, if you don't like him don't interview w/ him, you are feeding him duhhhhhh!

Jay Electronica said it best. “I never liked Vlad TV. That’s right...I never liked you and your devilish energy”...

I appreciate that vlad talks about other things besides just promoting albums. You can get articles where they talk about those type of things plenty other places. So i appreciate that you get unique stories and information in a vlad interview. On the other hand sometimes he is disrespectful with the way he handles some of the subject matter. He will start explaining a subject to someone who has way more knowledge than he does. He had an MS13 member on one interview and he starts debating with the guy details about the gang. Why would he argue with someone who in an authority on MS13 when vlad has just read some shit on google about MS? Because you read something online doesn’t make you an expert. It just makes you a parrot. Thats not knowledge when you have not experienced the things you are talking about. Also he can be super condescending when he had a differing opinion on something sometimes. Like laughing about someone else’s take as if to say obviously that isnt true. I get why people would not want to do an interview with him. But i don’t necessarily think he is a culture vulture. I don’t think you should have to black to appreciate hip hop culture. I think hip hop should appreciated and highlighted across the board for all the great things that it is. Just like black history should not be something that is discussed in school during february only. It should be discussed everyday. I mostly just think vlad should re watch his interviews a little more and try to improve his craft so he connects with his the person he is interviewing better and is showing them more respect. Sometimes he sounds like he is looking at the persons life like it is a car wreck. If he could improve this I think people would open up more and give him more interesting details.

“He want me to be a defendant but it WON’T work” 💀

He's not part of our community...show him the door.

If none of the artists did interviews, the people wouldn’t have anything to watch and there would be no VladTV. Simple.

Sad thing is vlad gave these people a platform to speak and get noticed then wanna blame vlad for what comes out they’re mouth !!! Sad to see people you helped walkin all over you now:/ much luv and respect vlad;) keep up the good work;)

I’m 31.. when I was 16 I would buy Mixtapes from him. Being introduced to him ina traditional dj fashion makes his current claim to fame odd.

I think he's a snake, the only problem is these people agree to his platform and know what theyre getting into, so it's on them.

Vlad is a "all publicity is good publicity" kind of guy. And that's not good. He's demonstrated that he will post an inflammatory headline without a second thought or even thorough research on the topic. He's misquoted people for clickbait. He just does what he has to do to get numbers up, and people see that as showing a lack of integrity. He's also the type of guy who will describe someone talking about being molested as a "dope interview", and that just doesn't sit right.

VLAD asks questions people want to hear the answers to. The gritty stuff rappers rap about but for some reason can be touchy about speaking of.

Vlad is one of the fewest hip hop heads who will encourage a new rapper to get out of the hood, get security & insurance, and learn about stock.

If hip hop doesn't respect vlad tv then why do these artists go on his show...they made the choice..

*Do we really need to answer this? He’s a culture vulture who thinks he knows everything.*

Wait. He didn't copyright strike you for mentioning his name?

You start the video with Rick Ross the correctional officer.. LMAO

If an artist is too stupid to not answer compromising and incriminating questions, then that artist is most likely too stupid to survive an actual interrogation by law enforcement. Can't blame VLad for dummies answering those questions

His interviewing style snakey. Sounds like an undercover cop digging for info

Fools can't complain. People still let him interview them & fans still watch.

Vlad knows the name of every teacher you had in life

"700 square ft. home?" Vlad must be living in a Calabasas broom closet?

rick ross got mad at vlad for askin him bout being 12😭

Not gonna mention him accidentally letting slip that he's a cop in that dababy interview?

4:44 Two clowns at a table, all we need is a priest & a cowboy and we got ourselves a joke

*Vlad when he sees a black rapper * " How do you feel about Eminem being a guest in hip hop?"

VLAD COULDNT USE BLACK WOMEN TO BUILD HIS PLATFORM.

Vlad isn’t a fed. He just asks hard questions that people don’t need to answer. If anyone ever says they don’t want to answer he says fair enough and moves on

While it's hard to argue that Vlad isn't using his platform to instigate conflict, he did introduce me to several great artists like BG Knocc Out and Tray Deee.

I see why this man won't show his face on his channel.

im mean the answer is simple. its cuz DJ Vlad dont respect hip hop

Vlad look like a undercover cop 😂

M.I.P Tha Jacka! 🙏🏾. The dopest to do hiphop period! Look what happened to the world! This☝🏽

He got slapped, sued Ricky, and “found a market” to invest in.

So grown men go on a show that they specifically know the interviewer is gonna ask them hard ball questions about Things they know they shouldn’t talk about but it’s the interviewers fault. How you snitch on yourself but it’s someone else’s fault ? 🤦🏻‍♂️

20 years of help build case on young rappers

I noticed his ways too but my question was always towards the guests. I just never understood why they would answer his questions and after he got a rep for doing what he does, why artists agreed to go on his show. I guess Vlad pays his guests for the interviews, so at the end of the day can't complain b/c everyone is getting what they want.

Charlamagne and Lord Jamar dont respect him but they literally just did interviews with him? Lol

They go on his show willingly so I don’t know why they mad now🤷🏽‍♀️

I love ppl in the comments section like only they know the inside details of every aspect of someone elses life

He looks like Nicolas cage when he’s shaved

You call him a culture vulture who gets people to incriminate themselves just for clickbait but at the same time you still watch his videos

He doesn't care about respect. Just information.

4:08 "a 700 square foot home". We call that a room.

August ratting then turning down an agent is halarious

His whole schtick is creating drama between black people for views and for his own personal gain

He looks like a GTA 4 character. And there’s already a Vlad

He does full interviews and a lot of these artists made a name for themselves through stuff outside of music and stay in the news because of that too. If you don't want to answer a question just say it, but blaming him for what people are saying in interviews is stupid.

Getting your article sources from Buzzfeed is worse than the VladTV channel itself lmao.

Vlad asks questions and then sounds like he wasn't interested in the conversation at all. Like why did you even ask if you wasn't interested 🤔

It’s not hard to see DJ Vlad for what he is.

Didn't know he has a Mac Dre credit. "Not my Job"

He’s a better Dj than most with a work ethic that one has to respect.

I stopped watching his stuff. I couldn't do it anymore. He's either cutting off the person as if he wants to be interviewed, wants things to be about him or makes the person feel uncomfortable by talking about things they don't want to talk about. He wants that you heard it here first type of interview.
