G Herbo says he agrees with Lil Bibby's comments regarding Slim Jesus lying about living their street lifestyle in his music. "If you ain't lived our lifestyle, don't rap about our lifestyle," G Herbo told DJ Vlad. Further into the interview, after the Chicago rapper discovered Slim Jesus' microphone was snatched by Black Jesus in Canada, he says, he may need to "give it up" in regards to his rap career. "His own race not going to take him serious because you doing our type of s***, you on this n**** s***," he said. "And if he trying to do what we're doing, how the f*** [are] they going to take him serious if he's letting people do s*** like that."

"Why would [Dr.] Dre put me in it?" she ponders, as they were in a abusive relationship for many years. "I mean 'cause if they start from where they start from I was just a quiet girlfriend who got beat up and told to shut up," she candidly proclaims.
Nevertheless, Michel'le says she will "absolutely" watch the movie upon it's release, though it's clear she has her reservations on how the group may come off. Press play to hear her speak on her now-nonexistent relationship with the billionaire producer and their 24-year-old son in this exclusive clip. http://www.vladtv.com - Legendary rapper and producer Daz Dillinger has been crafting Hip-Hop classics since the genre's Golden Era. This section of his exclusive VladTV interview covers a range of topics, including what it was like to work with 2Pac, what he believes made Dr. Dre leave Death Row, and how a rumored hook up between Death Row artists may have led to the label's demise. Upon 'Pac's release from prison, Daz already had five tracks awaiting the iconic MC with supplementary hooks. The Long Beach rapper then revealed that the first track that Tupac jumped on would eventually become "Ambitions Az A Ridah," which was inspired by Snoop's "Stranded on Death Row." As the exchange illuminated Daz's great insight into the Death Row imprint, Dr. Dre soon became the topic of the discussion, with Daz offering his perspective as to why the good doctor ultimately left the label. Tha Dogg Pound member said, "My thing was why Dr. Dre left, you probably aught to ask Michel'le. She's probably the big cause of it." He then waved away the comment while saying he's not trying to start any trouble. Watch the full clip to hear Daz Dillinger explain his thoughts on alleged romances that Michel'le may have had with Death Row members and more. http://www.vladtv.com - Ja Rule opened up to VladTV about his first record deal with TVT when he was rolling with the Cash Money Click, and the Queens rapper believed the label could have been the biggest in the industry. He revealed that Dr. Dre shopped his "Chronic" album to the label, but CEO Steve Gottlieb turned the legendary rapper/producer down, along with Snoop Dogg, DMX, Jay Z, and more. During the sit-down Ja Rule also spoke about how Irv Gotti's quick thinking got him signed with Def Jam, but he admitted that it was a tough decision since CEO Lyor Cohen didn't want to sign his Cash Money Click partners. Ja explained that he was also put in a bind with Def Jam after he had trouble getting out of his TVT contract, which you can hear more about in the above clip. http://www.vladtv.com - "The original job for a policeman was to catch escaped slaves and protect the property of slave-owners. And it has not changed." David Banner is fed up. The outspoken southern rap artist sat down with VladTV to discuss police brutality and the current state of hip-hop, and when it comes to both, Banner believes people need to stop watching it all take place and take action. "Our kids are dying. Little Black girls are getting beat. Where all the gangsters at when it comes to that?" he asks. "Everybody in hip-hop say they from the hood, but when the hood needs them, they're nowhere to be found." Hailing from Jackson, Mississippi, the public speaker has also noticed how hip-hop doesn't recognize socially-conscious artists as much as the rappers whose lyrics hardly hold any substance, especially those from southern states like Big K.R.I.T. "If hip-hopper's ain't acting like monkeys, people don't f****** support them. And I'm tired of that, dude," he painfully expresses. "What's going on in hip-hop right now is embarrassing, dude." From the McKinney pool party incident to incarcerated Black men, David Banner strongly believes instances like these wouldn't occur if their skin color were a lighter shade. "America would shut down," he states with an undeniably angry tone, recalling a talk with a friend of his who works for the law. Press play to find out how Banner plans to hold hip-hop consumers accountable for the way they portray the culture, and why it's up for hip-hop sites like ours to put the Black community in positive light, since major news stations like FOX hardly ever do. Listen to David Banner's newest single "My Uzi" with Big K.R.I.T. on iTunes and Google Play. When it comes to his upcoming LP ''The God Box," he claims it's "one of the best hip-hop albums period. And after it comes out I'll never say that again - it's gon' be up to y'all to do it. And hip-hop say they want something better, well it's here. And if you don't take it now it's your fault." To discuss music and current social issues, Banner encourages you to hit him up on Twitter @therealbanner. Capone, Noreaga & Tragedy Khadafi Speak On Rappers Being Leaders - gwap loves #vladtv @gwaphousemag7/4/2015 http://www.vladtv.com - Minister Louis Farrakhan appeared on Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club in early June and proclaimed that rappers are the new leaders and should use their platform to help the Black community. "Our people want better and they'll do better if they are shown better," he stated. Capone-N-Noreaga & Tragedy Khadafi couldn't agree more, and in this VladTV exclusive, the three emcees speak on how they and other rappers should go about doing so. "We gotta start being responsible to a certain extent," Nore states, adding that rappers should include more conscious lyrics in their tracks. Tragedy Khadafi also feels that they shouldn't be "mute, silent and weak" and speak on what's going on the world. "You can use your voice outside of just getting money." Capone agrees with them both. "That should be up to a rapper to put that in his next verse [or] interview," he adds after speaking on the tragic Charleston church shootings. Capone believes Dylann Roof should face the same fate as the Boston bomber who was sentenced to death and says "it seems like when it comes to certain things like that, when they're dealing with a certain race of people, they never wanna label it what it is." Capone-N-Noreaga & Tragedy Khadafi also speak on the Baltimore riots and an unauthorized documentary about Jay Z that shows how the creation of the Barclays Center didn't help the Brooklyn community. Hear more about it above. http://www.vladtv.com - "A motherf***** in this day and age will do anything if they feel like it's [going to] go viral," claims Lord Jamar. Surely by now everyone has seen Cali rapper Lil B's ensemble during his appearance on ESPN's Sports Nation. Known for his curses as much as his outlandish lyrics, the self-proclaimed BasedGod arrived on the set donning a sun hat, earrings, and a lace top, angering sports fans and celebrities nationwide. Even Vlad added that it was "a little different," but as you'll see in this exclusive, Brand Nubian's Lord Jamar wasn't here for any of it. "Is fame and money that important where you would just do anything?," he asks during his latest sit-down. Lord Jamar says he's sick and tired of artists doing things for shock value, and mostly faults Lil B's cult-like followers who applaud his actions. His advice for the former Pack star? "Stop doing gay s*** for attention," Lord Jamar pleads shortly before delving into personalities who have gotten attention for identifying with other genders and races. "Lies are the new truth," he ends off. Has the issue of identity confusion simply become a trend? Let us know if you agree with Lord Jamar below. |
