Mob James Speaks On Suge Knight, 2Pac, Death Row, Mob Piru, And Brother’s Murder (Video)
February 22, 2019
Wow. Mob James was there for it all and therefore has the pedigree to speak on all he is covering with Vlad. Full interview embedded above.
In this full interview, Mob James recounts his experience at Death Row Records, which involves eye-witness accounts of many of the legendary stories revolving around 2Pac and Suge Knight. Mob James recalls there being a penitentiary mindset at the record company, where employees were essentially afraid to come to work. Furthermore, he states that Suge Knight was ultimately loyal to nobody but himself, while later suggesting that 2Pac died by involving himself in something that he had nothing to do with.

WHAT???! Method Man & Redman Will NOT Star In “How High 2” (Video)
February 18, 2019
Damn right Redman felt disrespected that he and Method Man were kept in the casting, or even in the friggin’ loop, for “How High 2.” Respek on his name for not going at Lil Yachty & DC Young Fly though. No need to trash the young bros. Not their fault. Lift them up. Hope they do well in it.
We interviewed Redman recently and asked him how he felt about being replaced with Lil Yachty and DC Young Fly on the sequel to his movie with Method Man “How High.” Full Interview coming soon.
– HipHopDX
Okay. But I will be on the lookout for that new Red & Meth movie project… whatever it is, whenever it is ready!

Michael Jai White Speaks On Being Addicted To The Streets And Having Violent Thoughts (Video)
February 15, 2019
Wow. Never really thought of Michael Jai White coming from the streets like that. Sure he has an edge that comes through in his acting, but according to what he is telling Vlad it is coming from a real gangsta-influenced background. He just went the other way in his life.
In this clip, Michael Jai White detailed his tough upbringing and the time he spent in the streets. Michael said that he loved fighting growing up and was addicted to the street life. He revealed that he’d been in 12 shootouts over the course of his life and explained how he ended up taking guns from adversaries after beating them up.
– DJ Vlad
And dude loved to fight. So much so he would rather be in a gang fight than hook up with the finest Honey in town! His words. Watch the clip.
(At least he gets to do both as ‘Black Dynamite.’ Ha!)

“Horror Noire” Explores How Black People Love Horror Movies, But Don’t Always Get Love Shown In Return (Trailer)
February 14, 2019
Yeah. Why do they do us like that? Why do we have to die so fast, at least in the older horror movies? We ain’t tripping…
(Really. That’s Becky-With-The-Good-Hair who always trips and falls when running from monsters & killers. She oughta die ASAP, right? Haaaa!)
Based on the acclaimed book of the same name by Dr. Robin R. Means Coleman, HORROR NOIRE takes a critical look at a century of genre films that by turns utilized, caricatured, exploited, sidelined, and embraced both Black filmmakers and Black audiences.
Featuring interviews with Ernest Dickerson (Bones), Rusty Cundieff (Tales from the Hood), Jordan Peele (Us), Tina Mabry (Mississippi Damned), Tony Todd (Candyman), Paula Jai Parker (Tales from the Hood), Tananarive Due (My Soul to Keep), and Dr. Robin R. Means Coleman.

“Black, White, & Blue” Film Interview (Video)
February 13, 2019
The truth is… when you get stopped by the police, what you’ve got to realize – not to be disrespectful to anybody – but you’ve got to take into consideration that that’s an idiot stopping you.
And recognize that that ‘idiot’ has a gun. Raw talk from Scoon about his life and about the documentary right from the start. Scoon hit ’em with the way they flipped the American flag’s colors for the title right away.

Kamala Harris Speaks On Her 2020 Presidential Run And Where She Stands On Legalizing Marijuana & Criminal Justice Reform (Video)
February 12, 2019
“But I don’t know anything about any of the candidates…”
See, that there. That statement, or anything like it, is what I will NOT hear from y’all over the course of Campaign 2020… at least not when it comes to Democrats and maybe even some third party candidates for U.S. President. We already heard from Cory Booker on here a couple of months ago. Now we get to see what Kamala Harris is talking about.
Politician Kamala Harris stops by to explain why she decided to run for presidential office in 2020. The U.S. Attorney also touched on where she stands on marijuana legalization and the “nasty game” she’ll have to play going up against President Donald Trump in 2020.

Killer Mike Speaks On How Buying Black Benefits Society As A Whole (Video)
February 8, 2019
Mike calls Vlad a friend and vice versa. Wonder if he considers Vlad an ‘ally’ like his RTJ homie El-P. Gotta watch “Trigger Warning” to really get the fullness of the difference, but an ‘ally’ is down for the cause; way past friendship.
Killer Mike spoke to VladTV about working for ten years to get his new show “Trigger Warning” picked up before Netflix came along. He explained that FX was originally interested and allowed them to use the footage that they filmed for a demo roll to shop to other networks. During the conversation, Killer Mike spoke about the first episode, where he lived within a Black-owned economy for 60 hours, which he offered as a challenge to viewers. To hear more, including Killer Mike’s thoughts on why it should be easier to live in a Black economy.
