In this flashback clip from August of last year, DL Hughley debates with DJ Vlad about Michael Jackson's reputation in comparison to Prince at the time of their deaths, with Vlad strongly believing that MJ was put into a different category due to the allegations of child abuse as well as his unusual appearance. In contrast, Vlad believed that Prince embraced his blackness more than Michael and was therefore appreciated differently, though Hughley noted that neither ultimately got the respect they deserved when their lives were unexpectedly cut short, at least not in comparison to the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon.
